  The tragedy of making one good story is that you have to milk it until nobody cares about it anymore

  Oh, looks like the rumors were true. I’m not sure I want Chloe back. It could’ve been handled a little better in Double Exposure, but she couldn’t ever really be an integral part of the game, not unless the developers decided which decision in the original Life is Strange is canon. I doubt that the fans that only care about Max + Chloe are ever going to be satisfied with whatever decision the developers take. Also fuck Deck Nine.

    Have you read the comics?

    Spoiler:

    Both decisions are canon

    :D

    The comics are nowhere as thrilling, but I quite liked it.

      No, haven’t read them, but I know that both decisions are canon. Life is Strange 2 already dealt with it. But I think including Chloe as a character in a game in some meaningful way that will make fans happy while respecting that both options are canon is harder than whatever the comics did. I doubt Deck Nine is capable of properly handling this.

      My theory what they will do: They will retcon the two timelines from Double Exposure into one timeline in which Chloe is dead and one in which Chloe is alive, just like with Safi. As the timelines are merged into one at the end of Double Exposure Chloe is alive again even if you chose the ending in which she died. That probably also means Arcadia Bay is no longer destroyed, there are rumors that Max might return there.

  Was the game out grazing? Where did they spot it?

  Not gonna lie, if they get Ashly Burch I’m gonna pick it up.

  Every game after Before the Storm sucked. Even Before the Storm was only okay, not a good as the first game, but holy moly was every game after total garbage.

  Double Exposure was alright, but way too short. It felt like half a game.

    Like The Expanse (the “Telltale” game by Deck Nine, not the upcoming one)

  I liked Before The Storm (although not as much as the ones made by Dontnod), but was really disappointed by The Expanse, and Double Exposure seems to be poorly received by fans, so I’m a bit worried if this one is once again made by Deck Nine

    Be worried, it is made by Deck Nine.

  How??!? She died!

  J/k, I played Max straight and still let the whole town get blown away.

  I’m intrigued that this story seems to keep going on forever, apparently. Are they going to turn this into some Assassin’s Creed sort of franchise, where we get a new one every other year?
