To be honest, I don't even know what to say. I've been so hooked on this game from the beginning. I missed Max so much and the first 3 chapters felt so good. But even though the beginning of chapter 4 was pretty alright, I just ended up so disappointed with the ending. Either we're both kinda dull, or they really didn't do that good of a job with explaining. Either way, I really enjoyed this game and it's thanks to you. I discovered your channel thanks to this game and in between videos from Double Exposure I managed to re-watch the first game and Before the Storm. I think your LIS content is the best I've seen so far. I love how you explore all the little details and really take your time with the game, I've never really seen people going through the diaries and I'm so glad you did. You seem like an amazing and kind person and I can't wait to watch your other content. Thank you for what you do because you help me get through this crazy semester.
@alarminglyfastmovingskelet7289 living up to people's hype and nostalgia for the first game is an impossible task, unfortunately. I've seen the diehard lis1 people hate on every single one of the games since. This being a direct sequel for the main character from the start of it all I feel like makes it be viewed more critically honestly. I really enjoyed it on its own.
Yeah this didn't really hit me emotionally either compared to the other lis games. It feels nore like a set up for the sequel which is fine I suppose. Just wish they handled the ending better. It was all a bit rushed for me. I've also got no clue what direction they're going to go with after the ending. Max says she might go back to arcadia and then two minutes later in the speech says shes staying 😂. Its like they left it open ended because deck nine dont know yet either.
To be quite honest, this game disappointed me in many ways and ways, overall for me it wasn't a good game, I wanted so much to be wrong, I really wanted this game to deliver a story worthy of Max Caulfild and Chloe Price, a very good. done, well written, well developed and with a good ending, it's not a ridiculous and generic superhero movie ending, it really hurts me to see that they brought her back just to get attention and sell more, because there's no reason to be She in this game, you could be anyone, it is with great pain that I say that Life is Strange has already given what it had to give and that my beloved franchise has suffered a depressing fate from a company that cannot do the least. But well, I hope you enjoyed your experience with this game, now it's time to follow the rest of Life is Strange 2's incredible journey
Well spoken. This was so disappointing and falls so short of all aspects compared to every game. Characters (Except for Amanda… She might be a new fav for me 😌. Gwen too kinda), story, setting, hell even the powers and there was a whole fucking game we didn’t even have powers lmao (Still love LiS 2). Even the graphics and art isn’t the best because of True Colors! This game just feels like a superhero cash grab. Especially with the Marvel esc ending. That isn’t what Life is Strange is. The powers are supposed to enhance the characters mundane, terrible, but also lovely-in-its-own-way lives. Not team up for hero stuff.
Well... you have to take into account some people killed Chloe in the original LiS and some didn't ever see Chloe and Max as a couple. The problem with this game, for me anyway, was that it felt like a lot of ideas that were just tied together and not really fully thought out. My joy in all the LiS games is getting to know the characters and feeling how my character connected to them... but this one doesn't really doesn't give you the same deep dives nor any feel of connection. In my game, I had Max talk with Vinh and I thought (based on the early conversations) we were going to get a lot more info about him and maybe even form a good relationship... but... the relationship story just went away like so many other plot points and nothing felt resolved. Furthermore... in the other LiS games, the powers were just a cool element to help augment the story... but this one felt more like the game was about the powers and using the powers and the characters and story were secondary. I also didn't like the idea that they were actually trying to do the "let's unite all the characters" in some kind of superhero story as I have heard some fans calling for.
@laurengaona3000 When will you understand that all this is not just because of her, Chloe is just one more detail among many others that make this game bad and not have the essence of a Lis, it's not just because of her, but if you are satisfied with that, be happy. And guess what, that's not being toxic but having a minimum of critical sense and not accepting anything they give us with characters from such a special franchise that could be enjoyed a thousand times better or never want to be touched again.
Safi was interesting but she defo leant into the villainous side a little much for me. After the mystery itself, I would defo consider her the main villain of the story
Hi Emma! you're such a warm and comforting person to watch play games, I am so happy that I discovered your channel! I am sorry to hear that you're having a hard time lately im sending so much love your way!! as for this game i definitely think you are not wrong for feeling a slight disconnect and a little confused, this was definitely the worst life is strange game in my opinion even if if was still mostly enjoyable. so excited for you to finish the second one, and to see you play the third as that might be my favorite one!! sending love xoxoox
I’m kinda sad about this game :( it didnt live up to the first game like at all, and probably nothing could, but i at least expected a good story like lis2. I just didnt feel as connected to the characters…and the only part of the story that really gagged me was when max was holding the gun in the photo. I do think its cool how they made max meet another person with powers (cuz like daniel and alex also exist in this world). But it feels more superhero game to me than a heartfelt story game idk. Also idk if this is controversial, but the love interests in this game SUCKED. I wasnt feeling amanda for max at all, she was kinda weird at the end ESPECIALLY (like girl you expect max to tell you about her powers when u barely know each other?! Huh?? Even warren was more understanding) and vinh also was not her vibe in a partner whatsoever 😭 i wish safi was an option, i feel like they had sm more chemistry and their personalities fit rly well. Safis personality paralleled chloe in a way. I wrote more than i thought i would about it idk but the music didnt disappoint at least
Also in the first game everything was super chaotic and made no sense but it tied together SOOO perfectly in the end. This was just messy lol. Bad ending
I m different i think Amanda was Nice most of the time not perfect but i think they have chemistry, Vinh i think can be a good friend option but not a lover option, Safi for me its kinda evil in some atitudes not total evil and people messed up with her but her Revenge thing making Gwen fired and making Robbie have a bad relationship with his father was evil in my opinion and pointing a gun at his mom was too much yeah She sucked She being the One making the book deal off and thinking her father didn t care about her and was a lie sucked but still almost killing her Mother seem a little radical and it sucks making Safi like that because the game did such a good job making her likeable in chapter 1 so when she gets shot it hits and i was really liking her
Sorry to hear you're going through a hard time personally. I, myself, had a really rough time not too long ago this year, and have really only just recently felt like I've come out the other side. Ironically, I found your channel and your videos in this time. And on days/nights where I needed a distraction from all the bullshit - your videos were a go-to. So I hope you find some joy in knowing you've directly had a positive impact on people and have been someone that provides a level of comfort and joy through your content. Whatever it is you're going through, you'll get through it. Brighter days ahead. Thank you for doing what you do.
I’m sorry you’re going through it! I feel like we all are and your channel definitely helped us too. I’ll be praying for you to feel better and sending love.
@@hallohello3981 Exactly! I balled during the first, Before the Storm, and True Colors, teared up during LiS 2, and never once felt the nerve to tear up playing this game.
@ Yeah, I get it. I’ve never been more disappointed in a LiS game. It has me wanting more in a bad way. Hilariously enough, I had low expectations for True Colors and I absolutely adore that game (Steph 💛 Alex carried). This game I had decent expectations and it started off strong (Amanda carried). It had that satisfaction of mystery, giving you puzzle pieces, questions, and other mysteries to theorize and try solving to make the bigger picture, but episode 4-5 is just so rushed, compact, and overtly complicated for a LiS game. It felt soulless and without passion which is just sooo wrong for a LiS game.
You're definitely not being dumb on the ending, its just really poor writing and direction in my opinion. Also, I was the few that immediately chose to refuse Safi because I believe that Max would never abuse her power like that after everything she experienced in lis1, that's just not her character and it really felt like the writers just want a super he-bros/marvel thing and that is not life is strange. This for me wasn't a good game in more ways than one, obviously it's beautiful and the graphics are amazing, the only thing that kept me in was Hannah Telle (who plays Max) that was pretty much it, as a Pricefield fan, who chose that Max and Chloe broke up, I am immensely disappointed at the assassination of Chloe's character, not just the writing of her but, and this is absolutely no disrespect to Rihanna, but she will never be Max's Chloe in my eyes. that tittle belongs tp Ashely Burch, I would have preferred if they couldn't get Ashely back for whatever reason, that they cast someone completely different to voice older Chloe, but to choose to have younger Chloe also try and impersonate Ashely's Chloe and older Chloe it just felt off. The first 2 chapters were cool but the last 3 were not good, the entire murder mystery thing was never solved or explained, the entire Alderrman thing was a bit weird, it would have been way better if they had of kept him in, making it more interesting, kind of like David in lis1. Also with everything that happened to Max with Jefferson, where is her trauma from that? You don't get over trauma like that.. the bowling alley scene with the chair was so poorly executed visually, I expected shadows of Jefferson to show up and his voice actor coming back to do those lines instead of Lucas. The music didn't pull me in as much as the other games either, the only time I cried was if you saved Chloe, it's when Max is telling Safi about that choice she made, Hannah\s performance in that was chefs kiss. I want to re-iterate that Hannah and also the other actors are what pulled this game through with the awful writing and the game direction, also Hannah had no dialogue input?? she knows Max just as much as the original developers do.. Anyway, there's a lot more to say but I will end on this, this to me is not a Life Is Strange game, this is just simply called Double Exposure with Max in it.
absolutely couldn’t agree more. I refused Safi as well because Max Caulfield would never! She literally says that she didn’t use her powers since the ending of LiS 1 meaning she didn’t use them for 10 whole years and we’re supposed to believe that all of a sudden just because she’s met someone else with powers, that she’s ready to exploit them and dive deeper into them?! absolutely not. and the way they kept calling Chloe the blue haired girl and the wallet girl actually irritated me every time… They could’ve done something great with this game, what a disappointment.
Yeah seeing that the majority of people chose to agree with Safi is kind of weird. It feels like alot of people didn't really understanding the ending of the first game too well. That's why my headcanon is that Max would have chose to sacrifice Arcadia Bay in the first game, but refuse Safi in the second game.
@@alarminglyfastmovingskelet7289 as one of those the choose to agree with Safi: I did it not to agree with Safi but to not have her to immediately see Max as an adversary. Aka this agreement was just for this particular moment and what really happens once she returns will be a different choice to make there and then.
Omg I’ve been so anticipated for the ending so long especially this video! your my favourite life is strange TH-camr and I hope you try out some more games similar
they REALLY tried to imitate the feeling Everything Everywhere All at Once portrayed in this ending, even copied many of the themes (like the multiverse or even just safi as the villain, she’s so similar to jobu tupaki)… but they missed the mark immensely. i’m so disappointed
I loved all other games, but this was somehow confusing? And how they just wrapped that "take double exposure photos and it fixes everything" and oh now it's all good. Like I feel like Safi's powers and ending was taken super lightly. I feel like there is a lot of potential, it started very good, but I think rest of the episodes were rushed. :((( I wish you play True Colours and that DLC!!!
I found your channel looking for play-throughs of this game by other youtubers who I've watched play the whole Life is Strange Series from when it first came out like 10 yrs ago (jeez I'm old). I stumbled upon your first video of Double Exposure and totally enjoyed it! I appreciate that you don't rush and you actually look around to interact with the environment. Also, THANK YOU for not muting the music! Everyone else mutes it because of copyright shit and wanna make sure they get money for their vids... but you actually let us experience the game in the fullest! THANK YOU! You're also hilarious, so you vids have been fun to watch. In between waiting for you subsequent videos of Double Exposure, I've watched your play through of Before the Storm and now I'm watching the original game. I'll check out your other videos too! I'm sorry to hear you've been going though a tough time the past while, sending you good vibes! Thank you for an awesome play though... can't wait for "Triple Exposure" HAHAHA! All the best!
After finishing this game, i realized how pointless the decisions you make really are. Theres no long term payouts or sabotage for it, ESPECIALLY Alderman dying?¿ (didn’t make sense at all) Also Max’s character was written to make poor decisions even though she was very good at being sneaky and hiding info she knew from others according to the first game. Also, making a game to set up a sequel with a lack of substance is just poor marketing imo. Look at games like the original halo trilogy, same main character, fantastic story each game with each still able to set each other up for success. This didn’t do that for me personally. Loved your play through and loved seeing your reaction though legend!!
@ Hey, i respect your opinion! while that may be true, i personally think it only effects the end of the game and its subtle endings for each character, but not enough to impact anything on the story, which i would’ve liked!
Well she was only really sneaky bc she could rewind. This could be a stretch but I feel like they tried to play off the fact that bc she couldn’t rewind anymore, she lost that ability or she’s not as tactful as she was before.
I think this game talks about trauma overcoming, like how does it feel to relive trauma and healing it, I really liked it even though it was not as dramatic as previous ones.
Im so glad i found your channel thanks to this game. I am going back and watching all your other content. I just finished watching your stray playthrough while waiting for this video
I loved Episode 1-3 but 4 and 5 completely lose me. With the first games ending where Chloe dies, I don't know how that would make her refusing to stop the storm would make sense. It feels like a reversion for her character in my mind. Also Amanda almost completely disappeared in the last two episodes, which is odd and makes it seem like she just doesn't matter? None of the choices feel like they matter in a super meaningful way. I loved this game, but the ending episodes baffle me lmaoo
thanks for playing this game!!! I discovered your channel because of double exposure, but i have already watched all of your other lis gameplays. I listen/watch your videos while i'm painting. Anyway, great work i and love your vibe, so calm but also fun ❤️😻
There were some other texts/posts in both timelines, before the series of nightmare scenes. They seem to have disappeared once the phone goes back to "normal" post-storm. Weird that they didn't merge like the people did, but that might be why it seems you haven't missed much on there, a lot of it actually got erased in this chapter.
Love watching you play. Sorry you're having such a hard time in real life, Emma. I hope things will improve for you soon. Glad this can be a bit of respite.
“It’s disappointing to see that Life is Strange: Double Exposure chose to move away from Chloe and Rachel 🌌, characters that made the series so meaningful 💔. Fans connected deeply with their story, and this new direction just doesn’t feel the same 💫. If developers want to retain the heart of Life is Strange, they need to recognize the value of its iconic characters and what they mean to longtime fans 🎮💙. I hope future releases consider the impact of such decisions on the player base 🙏✨.”
@@mysocial-b2f well Rachel is dead in both timelines and Chloe is dead in one, so they couldn't bring her back and pretend the other timeline doesn't exist. The only way they could've brought her back is in Max's storm dreams.
@@fosminclorin “I get that Rachel and Chloe’s stories were complicated, but fans have been attached to them from the start. Their personalities, struggles, and friendship gave Life is Strange its heart. Bringing them back, even if it meant bending the rules or reimagining their timeline, would’ve given fans the reunion we’ve been waiting for. Life is Strange is about making bold choices, and keeping Rachel and Chloe in the story would’ve been a choice that honored the characters and the fans who made this game what it is. Without them, it just doesn’t feel like the same game 🌌💔.”
@@mysocial-b2f before the storm was that reunion ur talking about. Rachel and Chloe’s story is closed, and there’s not much to add to it but flashbacks but who wants that? it’s time to accept it
Completely agree with your review of this game, I felt the same! I didn't feel any real emotional connection to this game like I have with every other LIS game which was disappointing. Hope you decide to check out 'Lost Records: Bloom & Rage" that comes out next February from the original LIS studio, Don't Nod! I'm hoping it can make up for the let-down a lot of us experienced from this game!
They're trying to start their own Marvel franchise, right down to the post credit teaser for the next release. This should have been called "MaX-Men: Origins" Welcome to Caledon; Professor Caulfield's School for Gifted Youngsters.
Just want to say I found your channel through this playthrough. Loved the way you played the game! Great personality and humour! New sub for sure keep it up girlie!!
My favourite TH-camr been feeling sad, I must write a long long comment. 😭 Hey, so I've been skipping your Life is Strange walkthrough to avoid spoiler. However, I still always click in and watch the beginning or the ending part where you talk about the game but not actually showing it. And today I do this, and saw you're talking you've been feeling low lately at the of the video. I myself just recently experience my lowest low too. My love love have been non existence since day 1 , so that's fine. But somehow last year, it is a shit show. Recover from rejection, then fractured my leg, then break-off some friendship. Basically the whole things went spiral and now thinking back I may have been push to the point of anxiety even depression. And my career went down with it. And this causes financial problem, which causes anxiety and makes me even more reluctant to stand back on my feet be in financially or socially. I'm not sure know how I'm able to pull through, but I'm guessing it's some friends and and aunt that occasionally come look for me for lunch. ? Anyway, I do not know what you are going through. Just know that I have truly identify you as my favourite TH-camr for months (I have prove, it's in some of the discord sharing channels), I'm not sure if when that's gonna change, but definitely not soon. Last but not least, Walking Dead Season 4? 😂
I'm so torn on how I feel about this game! I wasn't expecting it to go in that direction either. I really enjoyed playing it but similarly to you I kinda missed crying and it seemed to lack the emotion of the early games. Great playthrough and looking forward to you finishing LiS2!
At some point in this story i thought Max was going to shoot herself as a different option to not repeat what happened in arcadia bay and tbh i think i would have liked that a lot more as an ending, more emotional and hard hitting. The marvel avengers thing is just.... ugh.... Chapter 4 and 5 is for me the lowest this saga has ever been.
Though I admit the writing started to decline towards the end of Chapter 4 and carried on for most of chapter 5, I honestly really loved this game! I now rank it my 2nd favourite behind LIS2!
I really enjoyed chapters 1-3. 4 and 5 not so much. I really enjoyed your play through though. So laid back and chill, like watching a friend play. You’ve earned a new sub in me ❤
Holy crap! I am at the motel bit now where it is fully grayscale and even more 2D objects. Where she can't open the door. I litterally discussed this during my therapy session today, that I often feel like being in a room without doors and no way to get out. This bit of the game is very very confronting and scary!
I agree this game was just not it lol it was fun to play for the most part and the music was good but i dont like where they're taking the story. Anyway thank you for playing, I've been loving watching you play life is strange and I hope everything looks up for you Emma ❤️ p.s. I hope you play true colors also I hope someday you'll play cyberpunk 2077 I would love to see you play it! pls & thx u
I have been looking forward to this last episode. I have to say, yes it has been a long wait. However, I will never be asking where the next episode is. I would of course want you to release a new chapter every day, but I know thats not doable 😅 hope you always take your time and enjoy your self. I am very interested in seeing more of LiS 2, and then hopefully moving on to LiS True Colours, which is my favourite of them all, including this new one.
this game brouht me to your channel but you made me stay:D In my opinion this game wasn't nearly as good as the rest of the games. I'm super exited to see you play reast of Lis2 because thats my personal fovorite in the series!! And trust me when I tell you I cried so many times while playing it.... You will love it!!!!
Hi Emma, i love to watch your videos and I wanted to suggest you play Disco Elysium. it will be so interesting in my opinion for many people to watch you through this gameplay and your decisions. I loved this one too!
I dunno about anyone else, but I just love when story driven, choice-based murder mystery games have awful endings, choices that do not actually matter, huge main plot-holes (like the literal MURDER for example???), poor writing, etc. 🥰 no I’m so serious I went into this game with an open mind and sorta-high expectations and am painfully disappointed lol. Big questions left unanswered, too obviously rushed, the entire story is just convoluted, it’s become less about humanity and more about being a super-human and it just makes me sad lol. Deck nine is quickly ruining this franchise and it was so promising… I know it’s literally just a game but we spend money on it and I’m annoyed 😅 thank you so much for the playthrough, though 💕 You made it more bearable lol and I enjoy hearing opinions from like-minded people ☺️ Hoping everything gets better for you asap, lovely!
Finished watching. The entire story did not impact emotionally as LiS 1 and 2 did (those are the only 2 I played) but the story wasn't bad. Just alot and cofusing at some parts. When Safi said she was going to find others with a power, i am wondering if she will run into Daniel from LiS 2 and uhm whats her name from True Colors. That would be pretty cool. Not sure how that is going to work storywise though.
PS: I am sorry you are going through a hard time. I really hope things will turn around for you soon. Sending you strength to get through it. And light, lots and lots of light.
Honestly, I feel the ending could have followed the thematic choice we faced in the first game, and here’s why. In the original Life is Strange, we had the option to either save Chloe at the risk of others or let Chloe go to prevent a greater tragedy. That choice made a lasting impact on us and on Max. In this new story with Safi, I chose to let things go, to not join Safi further. I believe one of the options should have been a choice to go back in time and decide not to pursue Safi’s killer. If we’d had the ability to avoid unraveling time and avoid blending realities, Max might have been able to accept Safi’s fate and follow what she told Safi earlier in the game “pick one path and go with that path,”. I think allowing her peace in choosing to mourn Safi would have been a more fitting end or an option that should of been given to viewers. And, judging from what’s teased after the credits, it seems likely that Square Enix plans to keep using Max in future installments, which detracts from the finality I hoped for.
*(can’t believe i’ve had to rewrite and repost this simply to get people to stop arguing on my original comment)* PERSONALLY, i disliked the ending. IN MY OPINION, the way safi’s character was written felt (TO ME) inconsistent and didn’t align with the foundation they had built earlier in the story. the shift in her motivations (TO ME) felt abrupt and undermined what was an emotional and compelling character arc. (again, TO ME, PERSONALLY). i honestly would have preferred a deeper exploration of max’s trauma-how her unresolved pain could influence timelines and connect across the multiverse. FOR ME, PERSONALLY, that would have felt like a more cohesive and meaningful conclusion to LiS(DE). IN MY OPINION, the ending didn’t honor the strengths of the earlier episodes or the emotional depth of the narrative. i know others may feel differently, but FOR ME PERSONALLY, it just didn’t work. *as a side note: it’s okay to have different opinions about a video game. i’m sharing my perspective because it’s personal to my experience with the story, and i’m not trying to convince anyone to agree with me. it’s fine to dislike things, just as it’s fine to love them. let’s respect that everyone engages with stories in their own way.*
I guess it depends on how you play! This game took me nearly 20 hours to complete as I'm someone who likes to look at everything I can interact with! Much longer than True Colors!
@@MiddletonPlays20 hours?? Are you sure about that??? I don’t think your DE lives even make up to 12 hours I did about every single thing and took my sweet time on it because i really wanted to enjoy the complete experience and was nowhere near 20
@@iknowgaming6573 Chapter 1 took me just over 4 hours, Chapter 2 took me close to 6 hours and that was because I spent at least a couple of hours exploring everything around the campus in both timelines, Chapter 3 took me 4 and a half hours, Chapter 4 took 2 hours and 40 mins & Chapter 5 took the same!
@@iknowgaming6573 I'm pretty sure homeboy knows how long it took him to finish it. I know I am generally at least pretty sure about my own experience with things lmao.
Nice gameplay, But this life is strange is worst in my opinion i love life is strange 2 btw when you are going to continue lis2? I am waiting for your next episode. Lis2 is 100x better then this one.
No spoilers because im planning on watching tonight after my day, but damn am i worried especially with how ive heard it’s not been getting a lot of love. Episodes 1-2 were so good, 3 went in a direction I wasn’t hoping for (i was really hoping there would be an evil max using the same powers to go into our maxes timeline and screw with us somehow), and the weirdly short one scene in episode 4 was really off putting for a lis game. Also I really hope they care to explain why Safi was shapeshifting as Reggie because unless I missed it they never did and I’m literally so confused on that. If this episode turns into a whole other “save storm or save safi” thing i may loose my mind. My theory was we would have a “stay in dead world or living world timeline” but from what’s been going on so far I really doubt it. Also I still cannot accept they way they treated Chloe in this game, despite what anyone says Edit 3 days later and I hate it so much, I don’t even like Diamond
WHY do so many people who played all parts of "life is strange" SKIP THE THIRD PART??? It's called "Life is Strange: True Colors" and it's very atmospheric and cool! PLEASE play it too, it's worth it!😭😭😭
@@jesclle It's just I noticed that so many people COMPLETELY ignore the existence of the third part, and it's so annoying, I don't understand how this happens
@@babaykalesnayathey really don’t. She’s on the 2nd game rn, hasn’t finished it. Played de bc she got early access. Let her complete 2 first before jumping to the third
@@af2954 I just wrote this so she knows there is a third part, I don't have to "let" her anything, I think she will obviously finish the second one first, it's unlikely that my words will make her stop playing it
😂😂😂😂I would've laughed my ass off if they kept the same version of the storm 😂😂😂😂 but this one, looks even more beautiful & terrifying but it's smaller I think with lightning infused in it
I think people felt that you made them wait because unlike the other LiS games, this one just came out so they probably have never seen nor played it yet, so they really wanted to know what happens next, and probably thought that you'd post sooner so that people wouldn't go watch the end on someone else's channel?
Why did the old developers leave😢 they need to be the ones making lisgames cuz they can do a better job at delivering the best storylines, dialogues and emotions than deck nine
@@kinzzi2794 Dontnod studio approached the publisher Square Ennix and sold them the idea for Life is Strange. SE then gave Dontnod the money to develop the game. But as SE now owned the IP, they could get other studios to make games in the franchise, too. That's why they contracted Deck Nine to make Before the Storm, True Colors, and Double Exposure. Dontnod's games are more expensive to make because they have higher standards, but big corporations like SE only see dollar signs. They want another successful game like the original but don't want to pay for it. That's why we got Temu Life is Strange. 😔 Luckily, Dontnod have a new game due for release early next year: Lost Records. Hopefully it will be of the same high quality as LiS and LiS2. 🤞
They really lost the plot on this game, but I hope you play LIS: True Colors and its DLC after LIS 2 to finish up the whole LIS series ❤ I've really enjoyed your take on the games.
even if people have mixed opinions on this game, im still a fan, and yes this could have gone better, but im happy with what we got, and if you feel the need for another LIS game, true colors is one of my favs!
"A third option where we become the cow from twister." I cant 😂
half way through the video but safi is sounding like a manipulative super villian lol
To be honest, I don't even know what to say. I've been so hooked on this game from the beginning. I missed Max so much and the first 3 chapters felt so good. But even though the beginning of chapter 4 was pretty alright, I just ended up so disappointed with the ending. Either we're both kinda dull, or they really didn't do that good of a job with explaining. Either way, I really enjoyed this game and it's thanks to you.

Safi's in her Magneto era I see
…Am I the only one who really liked the game? c’:
I think alot of people actually liked it, but that doesn't mean the series doesn't deserve better. Especially with Max back to being the protagonist.
@ I guess so but I personally have no complaints
Its my 2nd favourite behind LIS2!
while being far from the best LiS game there is, it was really good.

Just wish they handled the ending better. It was all a bit rushed for me.
I've also got no clue what direction they're going to go with after the ending. Max says she might go back to arcadia and then two minutes later in the speech says shes staying 😂. Its like they left it open ended because deck nine dont know yet either.
What Max means is that she is not going to run away from her problems anymore.
Yeah it felt like Chapter 1-3 was paced perfectly then 4-5 just rushed straight to the climax and then the ending.
To be quite honest, this game disappointed me in many ways and ways, overall for me it wasn't a good game, I wanted so much to be wrong, I really wanted this game to deliver a story worthy of Max Caulfild and Chloe Price, a very good. done, well written, well developed and with a good ending, it's not a ridiculous and generic superhero movie ending, it really hurts me to see that they brought her back just to get attention and sell more, because there's no reason to be She in this game, you could be anyone, it is with great pain that I say that Life is Strange has already given what it had to give and that my beloved franchise has suffered a depressing fate from a company that cannot do the least.
But well, I hope you enjoyed your experience with this game, now it's time to follow the rest of Life is Strange 2's incredible journey
@@shinokagess I feel the same way I just want my money back
Well spoken. This was so disappointing and falls so short of all aspects compared to every game. Characters (Except for Amanda… She might be a new fav for me 😌. Gwen too kinda), story, setting, hell even the powers and there was a whole fucking game we didn’t even have powers lmao (Still love LiS 2). Even the graphics and art isn’t the best because of True Colors! This game just feels like a superhero cash grab. Especially with the Marvel esc ending. That isn’t what Life is Strange is. The powers are supposed to enhance the characters mundane, terrible, but also lovely-in-its-own-way lives. Not team up for hero stuff.
Well... you have to take into account some people killed Chloe in the original LiS and some didn't ever see Chloe and Max as a couple. The problem with this game, for me anyway, was that it felt like a lot of ideas that were just tied together and not really fully thought out. My joy in all the LiS games is getting to know the characters and feeling how my character connected to them... but this one doesn't really doesn't give you the same deep dives nor any feel of connection.
In my game, I had Max talk with Vinh and I thought (based on the early conversations) we were going to get a lot more info about him and maybe even form a good relationship... but... the relationship story just went away like so many other plot points and nothing felt resolved.
Furthermore... in the other LiS games, the powers were just a cool element to help augment the story... but this one felt more like the game was about the powers and using the powers and the characters and story were secondary.
I also didn't like the idea that they were actually trying to do the "let's unite all the characters" in some kind of superhero story as I have heard some fans calling for.
here we go again with you toxic fans. y'all knew chloe wasn't going to be in this game so y'all didn't have to buy it.
@laurengaona3000 When will you understand that all this is not just because of her, Chloe is just one more detail among many others that make this game bad and not have the essence of a Lis, it's not just because of her, but if you are satisfied with that, be happy.
And guess what, that's not being toxic but having a minimum of critical sense and not accepting anything they give us with characters from such a special franchise that could be enjoyed a thousand times better or never want to be touched again.
Unpopular opinion: Safi is the villain (to me).
I wouldn t say She s the villian idk what i feel about that but i definitely agree She was kinda evil
@@destinye she was soo unlikable imo🥲
Safi was interesting but she defo leant into the villainous side a little much for me. After the mystery itself, I would defo consider her the main villain of the story
Hi Emma! you're such a warm and comforting person to watch play games, I am so happy that I discovered your channel! I am sorry to hear that you're having a hard time lately im sending so much love your way!! as for this game i definitely think you are not wrong for feeling a slight disconnect and a little confused, this was definitely the worst life is strange game in my opinion even if if was still mostly enjoyable. so excited for you to finish the second one, and to see you play the third as that might be my favorite one!! sending love xoxoox
When max yawned and it made you yawn that made me yawn lol
Yawnception!
@@Emmalitionyou got that right💯
Yawn gang ✊
@@Emmalition😂😂😂
Me too lol
I’m kinda sad about this game :( it didnt live up to the first game like at all, and probably nothing could, but i at least expected a good story like lis2. I just didnt feel as connected to the characters…and the only part of the story that really gagged me was when max was holding the gun in the photo. I do think its cool how they made max meet another person with powers (cuz like daniel and alex also exist in this world). But it feels more superhero game to me than a heartfelt story game idk. Also idk if this is controversial, but the love interests in this game SUCKED. I wasnt feeling amanda for max at all, she was kinda weird at the end ESPECIALLY (like girl you expect max to tell you about her powers when u barely know each other?! Huh?? Even warren was more understanding) and vinh also was not her vibe in a partner whatsoever 😭 i wish safi was an option, i feel like they had sm more chemistry and their personalities fit rly well. Safis personality paralleled chloe in a way. I wrote more than i thought i would about it idk but the music didnt disappoint at least
Also in the first game everything was super chaotic and made no sense but it tied together SOOO perfectly in the end. This was just messy lol. Bad ending
I m different i think Amanda was Nice most of the time not perfect but i think they have chemistry, Vinh i think can be a good friend option but not a lover option, Safi for me its kinda evil in some atitudes not total evil and people messed up with her but her Revenge thing making Gwen fired and making Robbie have a bad relationship with his father was evil in my opinion and pointing a gun at his mom was too much yeah She sucked She being the One making the book deal off and thinking her father didn t care about her and was a lie sucked but still almost killing her Mother seem a little radical and it sucks making Safi like that because the game did such a good job making her likeable in chapter 1 so when she gets shot it hits and i was really liking her
Sorry to hear you're going through a hard time personally. I, myself, had a really rough time not too long ago this year, and have really only just recently felt like I've come out the other side. Ironically, I found your channel and your videos in this time. And on days/nights where I needed a distraction from all the bullshit - your videos were a go-to. So I hope you find some joy in knowing you've directly had a positive impact on people and have been someone that provides a level of comfort and joy through your content. Whatever it is you're going through, you'll get through it. Brighter days ahead. Thank you for doing what you do.
I have been enjoying your let’s plays. I have been binging a bunch of your videos!
I’m sorry you’re going through it! I feel like we all are and your channel definitely helped us too. I’ll be praying for you to feel better and sending love.
You know a Life is Strange game is bad when you dont even tear up a little..
@@hallohello3981 Exactly! I balled during the first, Before the Storm, and True Colors, teared up during LiS 2, and never once felt the nerve to tear up playing this game.
I’m a big fan of life is strange games but i really don’t know how to feel about this one 😢
@ Yeah, I get it. I’ve never been more disappointed in a LiS game. It has me wanting more in a bad way. Hilariously enough, I had low expectations for True Colors and I absolutely adore that game (Steph 💛 Alex carried). This game I had decent expectations and it started off strong (Amanda carried). It had that satisfaction of mystery, giving you puzzle pieces, questions, and other mysteries to theorize and try solving to make the bigger picture, but episode 4-5 is just so rushed, compact, and overtly complicated for a LiS game. It felt soulless and without passion which is just sooo wrong for a LiS game.
I don't think the game is bad, it was just something new. The first 3 chapters were amazing, but the ending is what makes the game not the greatest.
@ Exactly! I absolutely love the first three chapters!
*_triple exposure:_*_ somehow jefferson returned!_
Wanted to love this game so much but it was so weak. It had so much potential to be good and they just missed the mark at every possible opportunity.
You're definitely not being dumb on the ending, its just really poor writing and direction in my opinion. Also, I was the few that immediately chose to refuse Safi because I believe that Max would never abuse her power like that after everything she experienced in lis1, that's just not her character and it really felt like the writers just want a super he-bros/marvel thing and that is not life is strange. This for me wasn't a good game in more ways than one, obviously it's beautiful and the graphics are amazing, the only thing that kept me in was Hannah Telle (who plays Max) that was pretty much it, as a Pricefield fan, who chose that Max and Chloe broke up, I am immensely disappointed at the assassination of Chloe's character, not just the writing of her but, and this is absolutely no disrespect to Rihanna, but she will never be Max's Chloe in my eyes. that tittle belongs tp Ashely Burch, I would have preferred if they couldn't get Ashely back for whatever reason, that they cast someone completely different to voice older Chloe, but to choose to have younger Chloe also try and impersonate Ashely's Chloe and older Chloe it just felt off. The first 2 chapters were cool but the last 3 were not good, the entire murder mystery thing was never solved or explained, the entire Alderrman thing was a bit weird, it would have been way better if they had of kept him in, making it more interesting, kind of like David in lis1. Also with everything that happened to Max with Jefferson, where is her trauma from that? You don't get over trauma like that.. the bowling alley scene with the chair was so poorly executed visually, I expected shadows of Jefferson to show up and his voice actor coming back to do those lines instead of Lucas. The music didn't pull me in as much as the other games either, the only time I cried was if you saved Chloe, it's when Max is telling Safi about that choice she made, Hannah\s performance in that was chefs kiss.
I want to re-iterate that Hannah and also the other actors are what pulled this game through with the awful writing and the game direction, also Hannah had no dialogue input?? she knows Max just as much as the original developers do..
Anyway, there's a lot more to say but I will end on this, this to me is not a Life Is Strange game, this is just simply called Double Exposure with Max in it.
absolutely couldn’t agree more. I refused Safi as well because Max Caulfield would never! She literally says that she didn’t use her powers since the ending of LiS 1 meaning she didn’t use them for 10 whole years and we’re supposed to believe that all of a sudden just because she’s met someone else with powers, that she’s ready to exploit them and dive deeper into them?! absolutely not.
and the way they kept calling Chloe the blue haired girl and the wallet girl actually irritated me every time… They could’ve done something great with this game, what a disappointment.
Yeah seeing that the majority of people chose to agree with Safi is kind of weird. It feels like alot of people didn't really understanding the ending of the first game too well. That's why my headcanon is that Max would have chose to sacrifice Arcadia Bay in the first game, but refuse Safi in the second game.
@@alarminglyfastmovingskelet7289 as one of those the choose to agree with Safi: I did it not to agree with Safi but to not have her to immediately see Max as an adversary. Aka this agreement was just for this particular moment and what really happens once she returns will be a different choice to make there and then.
Omg I’ve been so anticipated for the ending so long especially this video! your my favourite life is strange TH-camr and I hope you try out some more games similar
Thank you for this playtrough i love how do you play these games. And big hug for you❤️💕
they REALLY tried to imitate the feeling Everything Everywhere All at Once portrayed in this ending, even copied many of the themes (like the multiverse or even just safi as the villain, she’s so similar to jobu tupaki)… but they missed the mark immensely. i’m so disappointed
I loved all other games, but this was somehow confusing? And how they just wrapped that "take double exposure photos and it fixes everything" and oh now it's all good. Like I feel like Safi's powers and ending was taken super lightly. I feel like there is a lot of potential, it started very good, but I think rest of the episodes were rushed. :(((
I wish you play True Colours and that DLC!!!
I came back to the motel scene after taking an edible and almost died when she mentioned all the simulation stuff omg
Binged the whole series today lol, thanks for a lazy day well spent I s’pose
I found your channel looking for play-throughs of this game by other youtubers who I've watched play the whole Life is Strange Series from when it first came out like 10 yrs ago (jeez I'm old). I stumbled upon your first video of Double Exposure and totally enjoyed it! I appreciate that you don't rush and you actually look around to interact with the environment. Also, THANK YOU for not muting the music! Everyone else mutes it because of copyright shit and wanna make sure they get money for their vids... but you actually let us experience the game in the fullest! THANK YOU! You're also hilarious, so you vids have been fun to watch. In between waiting for you subsequent videos of Double Exposure, I've watched your play through of Before the Storm and now I'm watching the original game. I'll check out your other videos too! I'm sorry to hear you've been going though a tough time the past while, sending you good vibes! Thank you for an awesome play though... can't wait for "Triple Exposure" HAHAHA! All the best!
After finishing this game, i realized how pointless the decisions you make really are. Theres no long term payouts or sabotage for it, ESPECIALLY Alderman dying?¿ (didn’t make sense at all) Also Max’s character was written to make poor decisions even though she was very good at being sneaky and hiding info she knew from others according to the first game. Also, making a game to set up a sequel with a lack of substance is just poor marketing imo. Look at games like the original halo trilogy, same main character, fantastic story each game with each still able to set each other up for success. This didn’t do that for me personally. Loved your play through and loved seeing your reaction though legend!!
Ummm....Max's decisions affect the fates of Gwen, Yasmin, Vinh, and Reggie. Gwen's ending can be totally different based on your choices.
@ Hey, i respect your opinion! while that may be true, i personally think it only effects the end of the game and its subtle endings for each character, but not enough to impact anything on the story, which i would’ve liked!
@@zamorofdev Except outside of LIS2, none of the games did this. In fact LIS1 and BTS were worse about it.
Well she was only really sneaky bc she could rewind. This could be a stretch but I feel like they tried to play off the fact that bc she couldn’t rewind anymore, she lost that ability or she’s not as tactful as she was before.
Such a small gripe, but the cut to black scene transitions in this game, esp the last episode, are so jarring
I think this game talks about trauma overcoming, like how does it feel to relive trauma and healing it, I really liked it even though it was not as dramatic as previous ones.
Im so glad i found your channel thanks to this game. I am going back and watching all your other content. I just finished watching your stray playthrough while waiting for this video
Awww thank you for watching some old stuff too!!
One of biggest reason people don't like this game is because most people loved og LiS for Chloe
I loved Episode 1-3 but 4 and 5 completely lose me. With the first games ending where Chloe dies, I don't know how that would make her refusing to stop the storm would make sense. It feels like a reversion for her character in my mind.
Also Amanda almost completely disappeared in the last two episodes, which is odd and makes it seem like she just doesn't matter? None of the choices feel like they matter in a super meaningful way.
I loved this game, but the ending episodes baffle me lmaoo
I hope that wolf brothers also return in sequels pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
thanks for playing this game!!! I discovered your channel because of double exposure, but i have already watched all of your other lis gameplays. I listen/watch your videos while i'm painting. Anyway, great work i and love your vibe, so calm but also fun ❤️😻
There were some other texts/posts in both timelines, before the series of nightmare scenes. They seem to have disappeared once the phone goes back to "normal" post-storm. Weird that they didn't merge like the people did, but that might be why it seems you haven't missed much on there, a lot of it actually got erased in this chapter.
In 25:21, Max clearly has trauma from being in Jeffersons bunker
thank you for the gameplay and hope you will feel better soon 💛💛💛
Love watching you play. Sorry you're having such a hard time in real life, Emma. I hope things will improve for you soon. Glad this can be a bit of respite.
“It’s disappointing to see that Life is Strange: Double Exposure chose to move away from Chloe and Rachel 🌌, characters that made the series so meaningful 💔. Fans connected deeply with their story, and this new direction just doesn’t feel the same 💫. If developers want to retain the heart of Life is Strange, they need to recognize the value of its iconic characters and what they mean to longtime fans 🎮💙. I hope future releases consider the impact of such decisions on the player base 🙏✨.”
@@mysocial-b2f well Rachel is dead in both timelines and Chloe is dead in one, so they couldn't bring her back and pretend the other timeline doesn't exist. The only way they could've brought her back is in Max's storm dreams.
@@fosminclorin “I get that Rachel and Chloe’s stories were complicated, but fans have been attached to them from the start. Their personalities, struggles, and friendship gave Life is Strange its heart. Bringing them back, even if it meant bending the rules or reimagining their timeline, would’ve given fans the reunion we’ve been waiting for. Life is Strange is about making bold choices, and keeping Rachel and Chloe in the story would’ve been a choice that honored the characters and the fans who made this game what it is. Without them, it just doesn’t feel like the same game 🌌💔.”
@@mysocial-b2f before the storm was that reunion ur talking about. Rachel and Chloe’s story is closed, and there’s not much to add to it but flashbacks but who wants that? it’s time to accept it
Completely agree with your review of this game, I felt the same! I didn't feel any real emotional connection to this game like I have with every other LIS game which was disappointing. Hope you decide to check out 'Lost Records: Bloom & Rage" that comes out next February from the original LIS studio, Don't Nod! I'm hoping it can make up for the let-down a lot of us experienced from this game!
They're trying to start their own Marvel franchise, right down to the post credit teaser for the next release.
This should have been called "MaX-Men: Origins"
Welcome to Caledon; Professor Caulfield's School for Gifted Youngsters.
Just want to say I found your channel through this playthrough. Loved the way you played the game! Great personality and humour! New sub for sure keep it up girlie!!
My favourite TH-camr been feeling sad, I must write a long long comment. 😭
Hey, so I've been skipping your Life is Strange walkthrough to avoid spoiler. However, I still always click in and watch the beginning or the ending part where you talk about the game but not actually showing it. And today I do this, and saw you're talking you've been feeling low lately at the of the video.
I myself just recently experience my lowest low too. My love love have been non existence since day 1 , so that's fine. But somehow last year, it is a shit show. Recover from rejection, then fractured my leg, then break-off some friendship. Basically the whole things went spiral and now thinking back I may have been push to the point of anxiety even depression. And my career went down with it. And this causes financial problem, which causes anxiety and makes me even more reluctant to stand back on my feet be in financially or socially.
I'm not sure know how I'm able to pull through, but I'm guessing it's some friends and and aunt that occasionally come look for me for lunch. ?
Anyway, I do not know what you are going through. Just know that I have truly identify you as my favourite TH-camr for months (I have prove, it's in some of the discord sharing channels), I'm not sure if when that's gonna change, but definitely not soon.
Last but not least, Walking Dead Season 4? 😂
We need life is strange 2 episode 4
Ngl, it was just weird. The ending itself was weird
lmg...diamond can shapeshift into bunch of diamonds? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm so torn on how I feel about this game! I wasn't expecting it to go in that direction either. I really enjoyed playing it but similarly to you I kinda missed crying and it seemed to lack the emotion of the early games. Great playthrough and looking forward to you finishing LiS2!
At some point in this story i thought Max was going to shoot herself as a different option to not repeat what happened in arcadia bay and tbh i think i would have liked that a lot more as an ending, more emotional and hard hitting. The marvel avengers thing is just.... ugh.... Chapter 4 and 5 is for me the lowest this saga has ever been.
Though I admit the writing started to decline towards the end of Chapter 4 and carried on for most of chapter 5, I honestly really loved this game! I now rank it my 2nd favourite behind LIS2!
When finding out the soup of the day is the most exciting part of the game 😂 heartbroken at how messy this game turned out.
I really enjoyed chapters 1-3. 4 and 5 not so much. I really enjoyed your play through though. So laid back and chill, like watching a friend play. You’ve earned a new sub in me ❤
My honest opinion on the game's writing after seeing the last chapter: It feels like it was started by Maya Okada, but finished by Lucas Colmenero 😅
Holy crap! I am at the motel bit now where it is fully grayscale and even more 2D objects. Where she can't open the door. I litterally discussed this during my therapy session today, that I often feel like being in a room without doors and no way to get out. This bit of the game is very very confronting and scary!
I love LIS. Will you be playing True Colors?
no matter the hate this game gets, it's one i'll never forget.
I agree this game was just not it lol it was fun to play for the most part and the music was good but i dont like where they're taking the story. Anyway thank you for playing, I've been loving watching you play life is strange and I hope everything looks up for you Emma ❤️
p.s. I hope you play true colors also I hope someday you'll play cyberpunk 2077 I would love to see you play it! pls & thx u

I have been looking forward to this last episode. I have to say, yes it has been a long wait. However, I will never be asking where the next episode is. I would of course want you to release a new chapter every day, but I know thats not doable 😅 hope you always take your time and enjoy your self. I am very interested in seeing more of LiS 2, and then hopefully moving on to LiS True Colours, which is my favourite of them all, including this new one.

Hi Emma, i love to watch your videos and I wanted to suggest you play Disco Elysium.
it will be so interesting in my opinion for many people to watch you through this gameplay and your decisions.
I loved this one too!
I dunno about anyone else, but I just love when story driven, choice-based murder mystery games have awful endings, choices that do not actually matter, huge main plot-holes (like the literal MURDER for example???), poor writing, etc. 🥰
no I’m so serious I went into this game with an open mind and sorta-high expectations and am painfully disappointed lol.
Big questions left unanswered, too obviously rushed, the entire story is just convoluted, it’s become less about humanity and more about being a super-human and it just makes me sad lol. Deck nine is quickly ruining this franchise and it was so promising… I know it’s literally just a game but we spend money on it and I’m annoyed 😅
thank you so much for the playthrough, though 💕 You made it more bearable lol and I enjoy hearing opinions from like-minded people ☺️ Hoping everything gets better for you asap, lovely!
Omg yay its out!
A winnebego is what is called a motorhome.
Love ur videos so much ❤
Luckily there's still one LiS game called true colors which I highly recommend! Probably my favorite from the entire series 🙌🏻
Enjoyed the series.
Awesome video 😊
Finished watching. The entire story did not impact emotionally as LiS 1 and 2 did (those are the only 2 I played) but the story wasn't bad. Just alot and cofusing at some parts. When Safi said she was going to find others with a power, i am wondering if she will run into Daniel from LiS 2 and uhm whats her name from True Colors. That would be pretty cool. Not sure how that is going to work storywise though.
PS: I am sorry you are going through a hard time. I really hope things will turn around for you soon. Sending you strength to get through it. And light, lots and lots of light.
Hi Emma I love your videos, are you going to be finishing TellTale's The Walking Dead?
Honestly, I feel the ending could have followed the thematic choice we faced in the first game, and here’s why. In the original Life is Strange, we had the option to either save Chloe at the risk of others or let Chloe go to prevent a greater tragedy. That choice made a lasting impact on us and on Max. In this new story with Safi, I chose to let things go, to not join Safi further. I believe one of the options should have been a choice to go back in time and decide not to pursue Safi’s killer. If we’d had the ability to avoid unraveling time and avoid blending realities, Max might have been able to accept Safi’s fate and follow what she told Safi earlier in the game “pick one path and go with that path,”. I think allowing her peace in choosing to mourn Safi would have been a more fitting end or an option that should of been given to viewers. And, judging from what’s teased after the credits, it seems likely that Square Enix plans to keep using Max in future installments, which detracts from the finality I hoped for.
I love ur videos the are amazing
*(can’t believe i’ve had to rewrite and repost this simply to get people to stop arguing on my original comment)*
PERSONALLY, i disliked the ending.
IN MY OPINION, the way safi’s character was written felt (TO ME) inconsistent and didn’t align with the foundation they had built earlier in the story. the shift in her motivations (TO ME) felt abrupt and undermined what was an emotional and compelling character arc. (again, TO ME, PERSONALLY). i honestly would have preferred a deeper exploration of max’s trauma-how her unresolved pain could influence timelines and connect across the multiverse. FOR ME, PERSONALLY, that would have felt like a more cohesive and meaningful conclusion to LiS(DE).
IN MY OPINION, the ending didn’t honor the strengths of the earlier episodes or the emotional depth of the narrative. i know others may feel differently, but FOR ME PERSONALLY, it just didn’t work.
*as a side note: it’s okay to have different opinions about a video game. i’m sharing my perspective because it’s personal to my experience with the story, and i’m not trying to convince anyone to agree with me. it’s fine to dislike things, just as it’s fine to love them. let’s respect that everyone engages with stories in their own way.*

Nice gameplay, But this life is strange is worst in my opinion i love life is strange 2 btw when you are going to continue lis2? I am waiting for your next episode. Lis2 is 100x better then this one.
No spoilers because im planning on watching tonight after my day, but damn am i worried especially with how ive heard it’s not been getting a lot of love. Episodes 1-2 were so good, 3 went in a direction I wasn’t hoping for (i was really hoping there would be an evil max using the same powers to go into our maxes timeline and screw with us somehow), and the weirdly short one scene in episode 4 was really off putting for a lis game. Also I really hope they care to explain why Safi was shapeshifting as Reggie because unless I missed it they never did and I’m literally so confused on that. If this episode turns into a whole other “save storm or save safi” thing i may loose my mind. My theory was we would have a “stay in dead world or living world timeline” but from what’s been going on so far I really doubt it.
Also I still cannot accept they way they treated Chloe in this game, despite what anyone says
Edit 3 days later and I hate it so much, I don’t even like Diamond

Chapters 1-3 had me thinking that this could be my second fav LIS game, this ending felt really cheap.
😂😂😂😂I would've laughed my ass off if they kept the same version of the storm 😂😂😂😂 but this one, looks even more beautiful & terrifying but it's smaller I think with lightning infused in it
I think people felt that you made them wait because unlike the other LiS games, this one just came out so they probably have never seen nor played it yet, so they really wanted to know what happens next, and probably thought that you'd post sooner so that people wouldn't go watch the end on someone else's channel?
I cant believe they ruined life is strange.
Nice videos
The soundtrack is fantastic, best in the series.
just objectively not true lol
Laughable. Are you actually on the payroll? 🤔
@@kjh23gk No, the soundtrack is excellent.
Oh hell nah
@@af2954 No, it is the best of the series. Only LIS2 comes close.
How is your shoulder?
deck nine became the new developers after lis2 lmao which is why the 1 and 2nd one are the best!! don’t nod please come get ur rights!!! (jk haha)
Why did the old developers leave😢 they need to be the ones making lisgames cuz they can do a better job at delivering the best storylines, dialogues and emotions than deck nine
@@kinzzi2794 Dontnod studio approached the publisher Square Ennix and sold them the idea for Life is Strange. SE then gave Dontnod the money to develop the game. But as SE now owned the IP, they could get other studios to make games in the franchise, too. That's why they contracted Deck Nine to make Before the Storm, True Colors, and Double Exposure. Dontnod's games are more expensive to make because they have higher standards, but big corporations like SE only see dollar signs. They want another successful game like the original but don't want to pay for it. That's why we got Temu Life is Strange. 😔
Luckily, Dontnod have a new game due for release early next year: Lost Records. Hopefully it will be of the same high quality as LiS and LiS2. 🤞
I really liked Safi and Moses. The ending felt anticlimactic
omg😮 I just saw this upload 8minutes ago and just finished the penultimate episode...I'm not ready
They really lost the plot on this game, but I hope you play LIS: True Colors and its DLC after LIS 2 to finish up the whole LIS series ❤ I've really enjoyed your take on the games.
"I don't really like Diamond tho" LOL REAL. Idk I wanted to like her, but she was just annoying and kinda rude in my opinion
havent played it but it kinda looked rushed but sometimes not
even if people have mixed opinions on this game, im still a fan, and yes this could have gone better, but im happy with what we got, and if you feel the need for another LIS game, true colors is one of my favs!
Can't believe lis is becoming x-men lmao 😂😂😂
