Life is Strange's Broken Legacy | Jaynalysis 

To answer a few questions I've been asked: 58:31 - The idea has been illustrated: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qErp5YCgrNE.htmlsi=nAIipzksYvw5T2YX 1:07:35 - Tristan is a character from the Life is Strange comics that can turn invisible. 1:09:52 - The reason Vanessa was able to use her powers on Trey is because earlier when she bumped into Darcy's gang, Lucas flirted with her. Disgusted, Vanessa flirts with Trey in an attempt to fracture Lucas' obvious ego. Vanessa asks who he is and, trying to be suave, Trey introduces himself "Trey...Trey Eagles". The gang doesn't know she's a cop because she's off duty. Later Trey will have to wear a blindfold to prevent Vanesa from using her powers on him. Vanessa cannot be romanced by anyone. She's aromantic.

One thing that fucks me up is the insane amount of trauma Max will have from all this. No matter which playthrough, but sacrificing Chloe does the most because... nothing ever happened. Max was never in the dark room in the chosen timeline but she remembers her terrifying experience. Do you know how difficult it would be to explain to a therapist her feelings on this? She made all these new friends/worked on them over that week. That's all gone. She had to talk Kate down from suicide OR watch her plummet to her death. If you do choose to sacrifice the town, her and Chloe have to live with the fact that you killed everyone in it. And Chloe has to come to terms with the idea that she killed her mum. There are no good endings and whilst I get that's sort of the point, the game all about trauma forgets that it's inflicting the most on it's main protagonist.

Nah the way ppl will make videos on life is strange without bothering to read max's journal and always have the same take on the love interests. Warren isn't a love interest, because max isn't romantically interested in him. Each time Warren makes a romantic gesture towards her, max talks about how she doesn't want anything to do with him romantically in her journal, he's in her nightmare along with other characters that are against her, shouting at her to "get in the car", and there's a doll of her in his locker. It's blatantly hinting at you that max is uncomfortable with his advances, and for the kiss, she writes in her journal that she felt he DESERVED a kiss after what he's done for her, which is just unfortunate. Not a Warren hater but I hate the way the game makes you want to wife him up even though max isn't even interested in him

I thought we should have played Rachel, too! It might have given meaning and closure to the character.

People seeing Max powers as teleportation is genius

LIS 2 still resonates with me as an older sibling. Not to mention being less cringe and changing up the setting constantly. My only true complaints were how episode 4 is so out there compared to the rest of the game and the romance options. It's also much slower.

I think the issue is that Rachel is what makes Life is strange interesting. Her ambiguity and the mystery around her make me think that even the writers don’t know a lot about who she is and isn’t. They didn’t dare to make her the lead because she’s so intimidating.

35:55 About "good" representation, there is a bad habit media picked up these years, making every queer character a saint, not every queer person is a "good" person, and if you want to talk about representation, I think there is something postive in introducing a gay character who isn't lawful good

I honestly really liked Life is Strange 2. It felt refreshing

There were at least 3 times in-game when we could see Sean telling the wolf story to Daniel, so I'd say it was already more than a framing device. And the line before the final choice is "So, how does the story of the wolf brothers end?" I'm not sure why you expected a more concrete book.

DontNod hire Jay because I love this idea! It has Detroit Become Human vibes where you have a chance to either do Conner’s job right and capture the other protagonists or successfully keep the others from getting caught by him.

Petition for JayniacJr to write the next LIS game starting now 🤣 Seriously though, why do you have so many better ideas?! As always you made me think about a lot of things I never would have and slightly changed my opinion on certain things. Alex's backstory should have been more throughly explored, definitely. She is such an interesting character to me and could have been way more fleshed out. Okay, so this one is my new favorite video of yours!

I kinda wish max's personal life and family dynamics were better explored in the first game, apart from occasional text messages and the odd diary entry. Like we know the detailed family history to everyone except our main character max. Like what is their opinion on chloe or kate or jefferson?

I got the worst ending to Life is Strange 2 on the first playthrough and even know I wrote over the same with another ending, I have not gotten past it. Mind you, it's only been about a month. I was in the bottom 8% of players who got that ending. Turns out I'm unhinged as hell, I guess 🙃

Rachel played everybody except Chloe. She was vulnerable around her in a way that she wasn't with the others. Also, she was just using Frank and the others for money. If you remember, Jefferson, Nathan and Frank all thought that Rachel loved them. Nope. She wanted to escape with her, that's why she was trying to hustle all these guys and get their money. Notice that the deer only disappeared when Chloe found out what happened to her. Her spirit remained only to serve as a guide, so that the person she cared for the most, Chloe, would know what happened to her.

LIS2 definitely has its fault but the timing of that release and the impact it had on a lot of people (including me) is still felt. I simply cannot forget the emotions I had when watching it the first time and although Daniel was annoying sometimes it made sense because of how young he was. Not all kids are chill and cool lmao most get annoying over time. The analysis here was nice!

i still wish for an nathan prescott dlc, his character is perfect for another depressiv deep game

The thing that always bothered me about the first game was that you could just choose your ending, so your choices really didn’t matter apart from a few changes in details. Based on your video, though (I haven’t seen anything after BtS so idk), it seems the company also saw this and fixed it so that your choices actually determine the ending.

If you read Sean’s journal it tells you everything him and Daniel have been through between episodes. Also I don’t think Cassidy being at the end of the game has to be romantic lol it’s not like they’re kissing in the picture. You can friend zone her when in the woods and they remain friends unless you make her feel like you took advantage of her with one of your choices.

The cops would've assumed Sean planted a bombing in his house (since that's where the incident took place in) when he didn't and that's why he had to run. Knowing the system will falsely accused him of doing so. But now, it's more about keeping Daniel safe from the government experimentation. Which is why I have Blood Brothers in my first playthrough.

Thats actually rather interesting. I never really thought about how people would perceive Max's power before. In episode 2 or 3, Max "teleports" into the schools main office while chloe is trying to picklock the door.

I agree that Rachel should've been the playable character in Before the Storm. Chloe should always have been an unplayable mystery

The reasons Sean didn't wait for police are 1) he's right about how nobody would belive that Daniel has superpowers, even tho they can show it, it doesn't mean they will be allowed to. They could just choose not to believe and not even let them show it. Or even if they show Daniel lifting something with his powers they can still choose to be in denial 2)the kind of explosion that happens in the opening is something Daniel is not just capable of doing when told, he needs to be VERY angry or sad or both. Not to mention showing it would be dangerous 3) the reason Sean runs off in the first place is bc of shock and once u do that it can feel like there's no turning back bc you've already made it so much worse for urself 4)he can't know what they would do to Daniel if he shows his powers and proves it that way. They wouldn't let him have a normalish life, that's the most likely outcome if he did that 5)Sean himself doesn't even know what happened exactly, just that it looks very bad for them and that something happened with Daniel that caused the explosion. He also doesn't believe the cops would be fair and trustworthy bc of his experiences with racism

This should be interesting! I love hearing peoples opinions and analysis of things I like. I have a slightly less common opinion than most people. A lot of people prefer the original game, but I vastly prefer the second, with the third as a close second

“He’s still to dead to tell anybody else” Why make me laugh over his tragic death!

The marketing for Captain Spirit contains vital information to understanding the state of the fanbase at time of release

My favorite game is LIS 2 even if I doesn’t have siblings I feel connected with the characters the story ,I love the changing atmospheres in every moments of these episodes and the gameplay is really good, the fact that the MC doesn’t have a power but instead he kinda helps his brother to use his powers make him very powerful, also I cried a lot

The moments where you just sit and listen to the soundtracks are my favorites, which (to my memeory) were lacking in the second game. Which is why one of my favorite part is when in episode 1 ,in the woods, you can just sit on a bench and just look out to the river as a peaceful soundtrack plays in the background

I may not agree with everything you said, but it's a well-made essay. And, oh man, your idea for the next game alone is enough for me to applaud you! That seriously got me hooked, good job.

I don't think not being able to tell if the dad had a lot of wisdom or if she was just romanticizing his past is a continuity error I think it's actually a really realistic depiction of someone experiencing loss.

Jay, you're life is strange game idea is IMMACULATE and I want to play it so bad 😤♥️

I already know this is going to be a good video

As much as I loved Life is Strange, all the choices and the bond between Sean and Daniel truly scarred me and I still think about it

Praying Square Enix picks up your game idea! You're such a good storyteller just put out any kind of game at this point 🤗

I’m giving my opinion on LIS2 as a brazilian, bc I immediately had to pause when I heard you say that racism is way over the top and in your face in the game, as if it’s not how it happens in real life. I can’t assume your ethnicity, but I can talk based on my experiences and say: it can be even worse than that. The reason I connected most with LIS2 was how badly latin-american people are seen in the rest of the world and how we’re used as scapegoats. It made me cry and get angry and, even tho the setting was all over the place, I related way more to the wolf brothers than to Max, or Chloe, or Rachel. The game sure has its problems, but I the political aspect of it - especially in it’s release time - wasn’t it.

Still to this day Life is Strange 2 speaks a lot to me. The best game for me even though LiS 1 was perfect for the me who was fresh in college. The responsibility of taking care of a younger sibling and the weight of what they are running away from is all highstakes. Never played it on release but just a few years ago for a random sale. Best decision ever

I loved Life is Strange 2 personally. It hit close to home since it was about family ties and I'm an older sibling myself, and it was a very timely and relevant piece about the climate regarding immigration and police brutality. Life is Strange 1 wasn't as compelling to me because I couldn't relate to most of the circumstances that max and especially chloe ended up in and it wasn't as grounded compared to life is strange 2 which really boils down to family and loyalty

I thought Alex's emotion power should be more proactive, choice-based and empowering. Howabout this: You have different emotional 'meters' that indicate the growth of your powers based on CHOICES. So if you encourage people toward anger, you get 'anger' choices/powers, etc. This would make a GREAT choice-influenced branching storyline based totally on how you play the game and treat people. Can you imagine replaying the game so you can really try different things and do things totally differently? Magic.

Life is strange 2 is my favorite out of all them. I felt so connected to them the whole game

I think the reason for us only seeing bits of Alex's past (true colors) near the end of the last episodes is because they are not meant to add to the narrative but actually show a fully new narrative and view on this situation. It's what her brothers voice tells her she needs to see and sheds another light on the people around Alex: Alex never had powers. She would be traumatized by the death and later abandonment in her life and has started seeking a reason behind everyone's actions. Becuase of her trauma she feels like she needs to be in control of what's going on, to see when and why people act like they do becuase she can't stand that some things just happen. She's scared of conflict so is highly affected when it happens around her and all the things she hears are just her inner monologue comming up with the to her most likely scenario and reflections of her own self-hatred (best seen in the scene where the foster families all look at her trough the windows all saying different but also similar things. This is her own explenation for why she never found a stable home and the windows are litteraly walls between Alex and reality. Visable but never felt)

Life is strange 2: Sean when he gets sent to jail. His sentence isn’t picked at random. He gets his sentence from GTA, and escaping police and FBI custody. Each of which carries an up to five year sentence. Given the multiple state spree it kicks it to a felony charge and which usually kicks it to max sentences.

This video must’ve been a big project for you. You did a great job! I think Rachel being the protagonist of before the storm would be cool. I think her powers would be subtle manipulation/charm. Nothing too questionable/noticeable. I wish there was a better story for Before the Storm in general… or just show Rachel and Chloe’s relationship without any weird story. And the idea at the end really shows off your story writing idea. Idk if you want to develop it or not but it’s quite cool

Awesome you are covering this I didn’t think you would do anything gaming related

Your LIS idea is amazing I NEED that game. Also playing Rachel would have made way more sense. It would have made Rachel a better character in general, we don’t learn a lot about her in BTS besides the fact that she’s manipulative, she doesn’t seem interesting or kind. We already know about Chloe’s home life from LIS so we didn’t really need to play her for a backstory.

I would love to read your LiS idea as an original project of some kind, like a book or a comic! You're very good at storytelling!

so here's my thing, LiSTC feels extremely real to me. i don't think that necessarily makes it a compelling game in terms of gameplay but when i played i found it so refreshing to play a game where we are trying to bond ourselves with a community after a tragedy. the lack of story details about gabe and alex's relationship makes sense to me cause the foster care system splits people up so drastically that, by the time we meet them, they're different people entirely from who they were as kids. maybe its just me but i would have loved even less of the corporation plotline and more of the jed conflict and interpersonal story beats because unlike some of the other installments of the franchise, the acting and dialogue of these characters were consistently engaging and well done. idk I just love this game but I do understand its criticisms. glad we can all agree the soundtrack rocks tho thats non-negotiable

Ngl, I didn’t even know Life is Strange had games past the initial story’s prequel. Tho LIS2 does sound interesting to me, as an older sister that helps take care of my younger siblings

I love that this was actually an elaborate job application😂😂😂

Maaan, now I wanna have the full version of your story as a game. I've never thought about it, but having it as a game with two protagonist which both of them have superpowers would be so freaking awsome! Also how they are two diffrent sides of the same coin (of the law), it was a really nice touch!

What I got from all of this is... surface games, they have this shining idea that translates into a pretty game with good potencial (super powers, relationships with interesting characters, choices, intriguing conflict or mysteries...) but everything it's left half baked, not knowing how to unite the concept, the aesthetic and the gameplay, left with choices that are often missleading, useless or unreasonable as a mean to create conflict or insert a "lesson". The characters go 50-50 between relatable teens and clichés to reinforce an idea or advance plot. It's something that you can perhaps get away with in a film, as it's usually shorter and the audience doesn't have any control over it to look around the corner, but not with a game.

Thank you for making this video! I’ve been waiting for an analysis video on the entire LiS series (not just LiS1 and BtS) for awhile now and this one certainly didn’t disappoint.

I have so many questions about your idea. Have you thought of a name yet? I actually like the concept of Darcy and Vanessa having opposing but complementary powers: one who finds freedom outside of themselves, and another who is restricted to only what can be sensed inside of someone else. Vanessa would need some seriously solid motivation, though. Why is she compiling a database on super-powered individuals when she herself is one? Has she considered the implications of revealing these secrets to the police, to the government, maybe eventually the world? Would Darcy and Vanessa naturally be immune to each other's powers, or maybe they'd interact? Like what if Vanessa can see Darcy's spirit with her own eyes, while if Darcy's spirit touches/phases through someone Vanessa is "peeking" through, it cuts off Vanessa's connection?

I loved true colors, I liked the story but at times I did feel like the ep's felt rushed with the story, I kind of wished they were longer, and I wish you got to spend more time with gabe. Mainly I wish there was more time

Life is Strange is a wild memory for me. I felt very connected to Max when I played the first game cuz I was also in my final year of high school. So I played all the dlcs and side stories and enjoyed them even if I couldn't really relate to Chloe's romantic struggles. So I was hyped for LIS2 only to be underwhelmed by how the first episode ended and then didn't even end up playing the final episode and still haven't to this day. Then got excited for 3 only for it to be buggy n underwhelming. Sad 😔

crying bc rachel as the main character would have been so good

I dont get to see good videos like this often this is definitely worth the watch

I adore the first game. One of my favorites of all time even with its flaws. I wish I could go back and replay it for the first time again. But I’ve never had any desire to play any of the other games. I wish I could keep spending time back with Max, just immersed in the world the game made, but for all my affection for the first game, I’ve never cared to play the other entries, or even replay the original much. I stand by my choices from my first playthrough so I don’t feel a need to replay it and experience the other choices I could make… especially when the game funnels me into the same last choice anyway :/ And the sequels with their new locations, characters, situations, and powers don’t catch my eye. Anyways great video! Really enjoy listening to essays about LIS that take me down memory lane every now and then.

The Alex/Issac relationship never really came to my mind, that's a very good analysis!!

i really enjoyed this video!! i’m a big fan of the series and love all the games, and i only hope that lis4 manages to improve on past mistakes. i also love your lis game concept!! i hope one day you’ll feel like sharing more of it. the idea of finding the past lis protagonists and what they’re doing now (likely based on the endings) is so interesting!!

love this video, i often fall asleep to your longer videos because i love the sound of your voice! great analysis as always!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Captain Spirit was kinda boring but great in story telling. You don’t have freedom in this story cause it feels like you get to either choose to make Chris enjoy his fantasy or ground himself in reality to appease his father. It’s like walking on eggshells and it’s hard. And I like Chris not having powers because Life Is Strange is about grounded in reality characters with powers as a crutch to further explore those themes, we all wished to have powers to escape reality and or feel like there’s a purpose to our pain or life, but in the end we still are just human and life can be cruel but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun in your life and that’s why it’s important for kids to have a good childhood.

I absolutely adored Life Is Strange 2.

Some people say Maxs power mess up doesn’t cause the tornado but Rachel’s rage is the tornado

I really love your analysis videos Jay! Even though I only really know the story of the first game and kinda Before The Storm and have no clue about the plots of the rest of the games you really make the whole video interesting and fun to watch nonetheless.

Loved this video! I only played Life is strange 1 and 2 so far (including before the storm and adventures of captain spirit) and I must say I agree I still want to play the 3rd one though. Also I love your life is strange idea. It sounds awesome. I really hope it'll get made into an actual game because I would buy it immediately

Rachel is the one who gave max her powers to take revenge on Arcadia Bay and their is a comic book series about what max and Chloe after you choose sacrifice Arcadia bay

I really enjoyed Captain Spirit. It was a little slow at first, but that gut punch ending where you find out where Chris got the supervillain name really stuck with me.

Now I am actually sad that I won't get to play your game! Seriously, that sounds like such an insanely good idea for the next LIS installment, I want to play it so bad already

ngl i never ever expected you to make a LIS video but i am absolutely here for it!!!!

Upset I couldn't be here for the premiere but oh man it's finally here

Im so happy finally I've been waiting forever 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Drawing anthropomorphic animals doesn't make you a furry

Some scattered thoughts: True Colors' price is too high in a game that can be beaten in, at most, 16 hours, but sometimes less than 10. Sean is absolutely a Furry. And my favourite background detail in the games is in Before the Storm. After doing Shakespeare together, the love interest Rachel has a poster at home of the musical Kiss Me Kate. One of the songs include the lyrics "Brush up your Shakespeare and the women you will wow!"

i’d love to see your idea in motion !! i’ve seen a lot of “here’s my idea” that end up being really flat, but yours was actually intriguing. powers that aren’t seen very often in media, mixed with the opposing view points, the possibility of death, etc, it’s the best idea since the original LiS. I rarely like videos, like leave likes, but i did here bc it was an amazing idea. i hope it gets made someday.

Amazing video, finally youtube popped a good video in my recommended!

I liked Life is Strange 2 the most. Never felt so connected and cried so much in any other video game

I had the same realization when playing wavelengths about myself. Steph’s inner monologue reminds me of my own far too much.

That intro to Life is Strange 2 is diabolical lmaoo. 90s babies iykyk 😂

Although the themes of this franchise are heavy enough, even on glimpes, I think they don't want to show too much graphical disturbance. Something so psichologically triggering you see in Silent Hill 2 and 4, when it comes to psychological abuse. The main nature of the Dark Room, Rachel and the other missing girls in Arcadia Bay may imply bad things happened, more than the game wants to show.

Good idea for a video!Im gonna have to watch the rest later,since I've only seen the ending of the first one and I want to play the rest myself before seeing your analysis.

Well, 2 and half years later, they were still in Arcadia Bay, even if they promised each other to run together under that lamp. Yes im in theory section, but one who couldnt move was Chloe, because that would mean leave everything behind, leaving Max("You make me feel like i have a reason for still being in AB" - pool scene). Rachel was pretty sensitive, she could see Chloe has feelings for Max and didnt push her, but she had also doubts if Chloe is honest. Thats why she grew closer to Frank. Behind Chloe's back, because she was affraid to tell her. Chloe would see her as another person who abandoned her. Her letters to Frank shows that relationship wasnt that great, so she fell in love for Jefferson(i strongly doubt they had sex, unless Jefferson would be that stupid to sleep with student of his(and if anyone want to pull out letter again, read it first)). Jefferson couldnt give her what she was looking for either. Ultimatelly, she made choice to run, with Chloe or without her, asking trucker if he takes her to L.A. Sadly, she was murdered weeks before it could happen. If you think about it, it gives lots of sense(imo). Thats what makes LiS so great. They didnt have to shovel it right into your mouth, just keep believable. Let you connect dots by your self and your imagination.

I really like your idea for a life is strange game, I feel it would make for an interesting and fun story

Completely agree, that BtS should be trough eyes of Rachel, not Chloe. Its never said, at least literally, what kind of relationship those two had and it wouldnt distrub bigger picture, if you wouldnt follow strictly romantic path. It could be moreless platonic, maybe more than that in Chloe's eyes than in reality. Rachel deserved better exploration. That "human chameleon" as some describe her, but also "light that cast shadow, both at same time" as Samuel describes her. There was so much potential to tell compelling story, but i think they got simply fixed on Chloe, which was understandable from success of the first game and safe bet. Seeing Rachel struggle with expectations would have same depth, as Max's uncertainity. I wouldnt mess it with adding Rachel any powers, that would only distrub already complicated fiction(unless you want go deep into this 'Rachel's spirit gave power to Max' rabbit hole). Navigating well written dialogues to help people around her, while questioning her own identity would be good enough theme. You can still have consequences, just without allmighty rewind. Rewind power was just plot device anyway, you could replace it with checkpoints and be done with it. Some would be disappointed its pretty much same without all that mystery surrounding it, but it wouldnt really hurt anything a kept gameplay element close to the first game.

i personally feel that the first life is strange is the better one out of them all, it had the perfect pacing, nothing felt rushed, and nothing felt dragged out. the overall storyline(s) of the first LiS is (in my opinion) perfect. I’ve never been able to get behind LiS 2, i feel like it’s too drawn out, quite repetitive, and a lot of gaps between episodes

I know it's not technically in the life is strange lineup because it was released by Xbox instead of square enix and was released when deck nine was taking over the life is strange games, but don't nod's Tell Me Why is honestly my favorite of any of these games and should have been a part of the series.

Thanks for the analysis! And I really liked your idea! I hope you can make it happen!

Daaaaamn that final idea sounded epic

I really enjoyed this video and i realised i never bothered to check wavelengths because i didn't buy true colours. I loved your next game idea and it actually sounds pretty cool, it reminded me a bit of Beyond Two Souls and Heavy Rain

I know it's not an official LiS game, but "Tell Me Why" really fits right in with the rest of these. And is better than a few of 'em... On the whole, I agree that everything after Life is Strange 1 just hasn't come close to matching it. But if I had to rank them: 5. Really good call on how *True Colors* would be further enticing if it utilized Alex's powers more to solve the mystery. But personally, I just didn't find the "evil corporation" all that interesting of a conflict, nor did I find Empathy all that interesting a power. A lot of that had to do with NPC's thoughts and emotions being so basic and "safe". What people are ~really~ thinking, should have been so much more, for lack of a better term... "colorful" than this. The only time this remotely has some bite is Gabe's widow's anger. Nothing about True Colors has any edge to it, compared to how dark LiS1 often gets. It's all so affable and soft. And it seems to have no understanding of what it really means to take an emotion away. Outside of the soundtrack, this is the weakest one imo. 4. I have a lot of issues with *Before the Storm* The Talkback mechanic sucks, the single romance option feels like the game is pushing it on the player, rather than developing organically from my choices, the storytelling is a mess in the last chapter, and Rachel Amber as a character is a complete psycho that doesn't coalesce with the person discussed in the first game. She should have remained a mysterious figure. Or just been written more consistently. This prequel reeked of fan fiction, which it kind of was. Deck Nine, were basically fans who got permission from Dontnod to turn their fanfic into an official game. On a positive note, I actually liked the material with Chloe and her dad, and in an interesting reversal, she fills the Max role, with Rachel being her "Chloe." 3. I also preferred Lyla to Finn or Cassidy and it's frustrating she's left outside of *Life is Strange 2's* story. A lot of LiS2 is frustrating because it's got some great ideas. It sucks NOT playing the person with powers, but as it goes on, I began to appreciate how my choices mattered in a different sort of way. The road trip structure was a nice change of pace, but by design, I never got attached to any characters I meet since they won't stick around, and each episode feels rushed, ESPECIALLY Daniel ending up with some "evil" Church. Along with the heavy-handed racism and how it handles the absentee mom, the story needed more work. Sitting on a weed farm? Exploring grandma's house? It doesn't help that the moment to moment gameplay is. So. Boring. 2. The idea of Chris being a villain origin story in *Captain Spirit* is something that never crossed my mind once, but it's a pretty cool idea. Nevertheless, I guess I would rank this second-best from an enjoyment standpoint. I liked the concept of playing as a kid and his active imagination, and I saw a lot of potential in the relationship with his father. And not for nothing, but the little bits of info we get about his mom, is more than can be said about either of Max's parents. Captain Spirit is bite-sized, so it doesn't overstay it's welcome, and the ending matched the excitement of some of the first game's best cliffhangers. My biggest regret is that he's nothing more than a cameo in LiS 2, rather than a major character. The sequel really should have stuck with this kid. And the next game should have everyone with powers team up!

I didnt realise the last part u made up yourself (im not looking, just listening) and the whole time i was like 'dang they really improved in their recent game"

I just can't think of any other piece of media that's ruined by a single character. If Chloe was written better, I would really love this game. Like if there was anything redeeming about her, any kind of character development, anything, I would love this game so much

yh maybe you should be the game designer for the next game!! this was really interesting. my fav game was lis2 and even i have criticism, but i feel like some of the lis fandom heavily criticises it for invalid reasons (sometimes think it would get more praise if it wasn’t part of the franchise). i feel like lis1, bts and 2 had the most engaging stories but tc fell flat for me. i’m curious which game was your favourite?

I like your new idea for LIS, the astral idea is very cool! So is the Clairvoyance.👏👌

I love your idea of a life is strange game and I’d love to hear the ideas for episodes 2 and 3

Life is Strange: True colours is one of my favourite games. The soundtrack is also sick.

Thank you for this video

I feel like one of the only people to like 2. Running away from my past, trying to find paradise in some far away place. Dragging others along with me. There was a lot of good in it, perhaps the execution was poor for most people.

Your game idea is FANTASTIC!

Remember in total drama season 4 character Dawn she have power to see people's feeling and reading their life story just by being around them.

I think my favourite LiS is True Colors. All the games have flaws but I feel like Alex is the character I connected most with. I also loved the setting and characters (especially Steph who was a super fun character in Before the Storm.) The great thing about these games is that they all have something that connects with someone.
