Life is Strange

That was...hmmmmm. I need to think about this.

I got all the optional photos for every episode so far. Now i just need to wait for episode 5 to show up on the PSN and play it.

So overall I'm not angry about the ending. Just sorta disappointed. I can't help but feel that it would have benefited a lot from staying more grounded and focused on the characters. Some kind of Playable Epilogue would have helped immensely. I can imagine either being Chloe's funeral and talking to the other attendees (maybe there even being some small touches like slightly altered dialogue to suggest your choices had some subtle effects after all, even if the timeline was reset) or moving the ruined Arcadia Bay to talk to the survivors... *Sigh* A man can dream, I suppose.

EDIT: There should also have been a option to go full-on Butterfly Effect/Donnie Darko and have Max perform a Heroic Sacrifice to save both Chloe and Arcadia Bay.

Hmmmm.

The key for a Golden Ending perhaps?

Maybe, I'll see when the store updates. Luckily my brother purchase the season pass so I can just download it later on.

Welp. I just let hundreds of people die.

Arcadia bae > Arcadia Bay

I think this actually brings up my biggest problem with the chapter. There really is only one ending, considering how half baked the Save Chloe ending is. Rather, I found that almost all the dialogue and almost all that happens are trying to railroad you into the Save Arcadia choice.

Really? I chose to sacrifice Arcadia Bay, and it felt plenty satisfying- and perfectly in line with how the story was going. If Max going back so much is really what caused all this shit, going back AGAIN is not the solution. The solution is to say, fuck fate. If the universe wants to kill hundreds of people because one girl was destined to die, in can bite my ass.

I was more annoyed that A) we DON'T get the kiss and B) there's not even a hint of closure as to who survived... or if ANYONE survived. I mean, last we saw David, he was still in the Dark Room. Alyssa and Evan were able to escape, but they're on foot so... who knows???

I kind of wish the 'Sacrafice Chloe' had a second choice where Max herself can walk out from behind the stalls which allows Chloe to live.

That's what I expected that ending to be. Sacrifice Chloe, then switch it so Max herself dies. Kinda disappointed that's not the case, but oh well

Mukora, is the last episode on PSN yet? I'm asking because I know you have a PS 3 and I'm a little busy at the moment so I can't check myself.

I do not have a PS 3, actually. Sorry.

It... should be, though? The release date was today for all platforms.

So anyone think most people will stick with saving Chloe rather than sacrificing her? And if so, how do you think DONTNOD will react to it?

Okay, thanks.

I do sort of want to be upset that our choices basically amounted to nothing. But, even if it's kind of like the writers speaking to the audience, I do still agree with Chloe: "all those moments between us were real, and they'll always be ours." No one else may remember, but Max will. And that might be good enough for me.

Getting episode 5 now.

They didn't know how to end it! That was classic! A sneaking mission, seriously?

I sacrificed Arcadia Bay. They want to beat me over the head with the message that I can't use time travel to fix all my problems even when it worked really well, fine, I won't use time travel.

Done downloading it. Playing the final episode right now.

I'm stuck in the section where you have to sneak past Jefferson in the dark, I really didn't like this kind of stealth mission in the 3rd episode.

Yeah, I'm just done with this. I'll wait until I can find a walkthrough of that last section.

Just rewind as you need. It becomes easier when you realize you can rewind a few seconds to move them to earlier in their pathing and get into whatever safe area you need.

I've been doing that, it's just everything is stupidly dark so I can't always see what direction I need to go in next. It's one of the reasons I hate these stealth sections.

I'd sacrifce Arcadia Bay a thousands times over to save Chloe.

Thanks for nothing, Dontnod.

Don't nod indeed.

I blame myself for getting spoiled here. And Tumblr.

Still...wow. Do you guys want to discuss the morality of leaving hundreds of people to die?

I mean, I might too, but still...
