Life Is Strange 2 Will Reveal All on 20th August

I have this horrible feeling that Life Is Strange 2 will be a superhero story, and it's going to be about Max, Captain Spirit kid, and some others all getting together and becoming this teenager supergroup.

I feel like it's the worst idea ever, but I can also really see it happening.

@Rudy_Manchego It's not what I want or liked about Life Is Strange. I vastly preferred Before the Storm because it was just grounded character relationships.

Any time the original Life Is Strange stepped away from that and leaned into the superhero, sci-fi stuff it went totally off the rails. The only bit I'll accept was the scene where Chloe was a paraplegic.

To be perfectly honest, I don't really trust DONTNOD. I'm an absolutely gigantic Life Is Strange fan, but I thought the first series really went off the rails, and after the success it's had I can just see them doing something really stupid. Like turning it into a teen superhero recruitment story.

@Rudy_Manchego Agreed.

I agree with Sammy the supernatural element made LoS too gamey which wasn't it's strength.

I really liked the time powers in the first game; I liked Max as well. I could not stand Chloe, though! That game is guilty of giving me a crisis of conscious, after that bit where you see Chloe as a paraplegic. It made me think of all the people I find insufferable and how much better they'd be if they just happened to get into a car accident and were bed bound....

I killed Chloe without any hesitation at all. It was a really obvious choice.

@Turismo4GT What can I say? I'm a pragmatist.
Especially when the person I'm sacrificing for the fate of a whole city is about as annoying and obnoxious as an eye floater with a blow horn.

Also I've seen enough Doctor Who to know that no matter what you did you wouldn't be able to "save" Chloe. You'd just keep saving her until eventually the whole universe was destroyed, and both Max and Chloe would have to live with that.

Killing her is a mercy.

@Turismo4GT She's lost her a few times already. The way I imagine it is that it's like losing a loved one with some sort of terminal degenerative disease. You can move the sun and the moon around and back again and it wouldn't make a lick of difference, and after they eventually leave this Earth there is sadness and grief. You wonder how you are going to live without them and if you could have done anything different, and then you feel relief. I think that stays with people more than the death of someone close. The burden of carrying someone's whole world on your shoulders is replaced by the stark realization that what you were doing for that person was a burden, and it stings when that hits, and you don't know how you're going to live with yourself, and it's almost as if you were trying to save them, not because they needed saving, but because you needed to prove to yourself that you're a good person.

Life is strange like that, I reckon.

@KirbyTheVampire The beauty of LiS is that it really shows through Max and Chloe's relationship how hard it is to just let go of your past. Letting go isn't giving up as long as you can pick yourself back up, and that's the message I took from the game.

I would definitely recommend you finish the game. Chloe is incredibly irritating, but that's the point of her character, and her character arc is finished beautifully at the end of the game. She symbolizes the burdensbthat Max carries with her as well as her childhood. It's really go to see it play out firsthand. I got the game from Plus, and I was quite happy with it for that.

@get2sammyb I love that idea and would replay the game to death if that ever happened !

@ToddlerNaruto 🤮

@get2sammyb To each their own Sammy, sorry that my comment made you puke.
