if you were actually nice to Victoria she will believe you about the dark room, but because you warned her about only Nathan, she runs to Jefferson for protection. He kidnaps her and takes her to the dark room and kills her.
im not sure if its ever confirmed why max got her powers right when chloe got shot if saving her just summons a tornado, but my interpretation of the game was that she was given it by some force of nature to help correct itself. nature itself seems to be a recurring theme in the game, maybe even its own character. we hear multiple people say that nature is hurting or dying due to the prescott throughout the game, as if it were alive, so i imagine nature is trying to fight back. it gave max the power of time to help max save chloe, so that they together could find rachel, take down the prescotts and stop jefferson in one fell swoop. and once max uncovers everything, she can go back to the beginning and use the information shes learned to put everything together, with the eco-havoc being a warning to max to not abuse her power, that she cant alter fate and that chloe must die at some point, and if she doesnt heed the warning then the town will be destroyed. just my interpretation
i might be naive but i do think that allowing the storm to continue and destroy the town is max’s payment that she pays in order to have chloe forever and change chloe’s fate. just like how the storm can seize to exist, so can chloe’s death if max wants to. it’s just unfortunately a high price to pay. a whole town. but max went thru memory lane for a reason, recapping all her beautiful moments with chloe, exclaiming her love and the significance chloe is to her before she decides so that she can explain how hard it is to not be selfish and choose a town with no significance without chloe to her, but with many lives, or the love of her life.
in the sacrifice arcadia bay ending, I believe the only character we canonically know survived besides max and chloe was david, since he was in the bunker underground when the storm hit. I would say jefferson too but he can die in the bunker in episode 5 depending on your choices, so he’d only live in certain playthroughs.
I developed my love for Life Is Strange right as I found your channel back when I was 14. I’m now about to turn 22 and finish up college, so you can imagine how happy I was to see you finally play it 💜 I’ve seen you say you’ll also play the prequel so I can’t wait!
I actually disagree with people that think Chloe is meant to die. Instead, the point of the game is that you can't save everyone. Sometimes saving just one person is all you can do. Let us consider the storm and Max's powers. While the common opinion is that Max caused the storm, Max first saw the Storm before seeing Chloe die and before her powers manifested. Further, in the timelines in which Chloe is killed outside of the bathroom, the Storm still hits. This is suggestive then that the Storm is going to hit Arcadia Bay no matter what. When Max won the Everyday Hero contest, the Storm hits Arcadia Bay nine days after it hit in other timelines. While some might like to claim that the Storm hits because Max used her time travel abilities, the fact is this: Max uses her time travel abilities in the Sacrifice Chloe ending. She remembers fully what happened. She went through a picture and then emerges on the other side to a sunny funeral... and full memory of what happened. But since she traveled through time, if her powers caused the Storm Arcadia Bay will still be destroyed... and Chloe will be dead as well. It's why I don't buy Max's power causing the storm. I actually believe the Storm causes Max's powers. Correlation is now the same thing as causation. Max is having flash-forwards of the Storm. She is not causing it however. Indeed, for all we know, the Storm may be causing Max's abilities. She may think it's because of Chloe as was said in Chapter Five but recall: the Storm was seen in her first vision before Chloe appeared. And the people who claim Max caused the Storm (either Max herself or Warren) are not scientists. They are high school students and are working off of time travel tropes from science fiction. They are making assumptions that cannot be verified. As for Chloe herself... Chloe suffers from self-destructive behaviors and may be borderline suicidal. Her offer to die for Arcadia Bay is born of guilt. She does not want her mother to die. She has had an adversarial relationship with her mother and her stepfather and this Storm is going to make it so she cannot make amends. So if she dies? She doesn't suffer that guilt. Her offer to die is ultimately selfish, it's also selfless at the same time she is wiling to die to save everyone else, it's both Selfish and Selfless not something that can normally correlate with each other. Now, consider Max herself. The further into the series we go, the more we see Max doubling down on her decision: Chloe must live. Even as Chloe argues on letting her die, Max is saying Chloe is her number one priority. So would Max save a town of people she barely knows? There's two people in Arcadia Bay that she has a connection with: Chloe, and Joyce. The rest of the students? Are people who has known for slightly over one month... and will likely not see again after she graduates from high school. Literally this is "would you sacrifice your best friend for a town of strangers?" If you are an 18-year-old girl who is growing increasingly traumatized after being abused and all-but-molested and who has one person she can confide in, one person she can trust, one person she may even be in love with? No. You don't let your friend's guilt keep you from ripping up that photograph. You let that town die and you feel horrible guilt over it... but I think Max finally realized the truth: you can't save everyone. So save the ones you can and accept you're not a superhero. Accept you're ordinary. I personally couldn't let her die. Just imagine, she thinks her father abandoned her, then you abandoned her since she will never know about the entire week, then rachel abandoned her. I couldn't let her die thinking that she was completely alone and had no reason to really live. Second, Max did really love her and wrote in her diary at some point that she wouldn't be able live without Chloe. If you lost Chloe, what next? You couldn't ever talk to anyone about it, you couldn't ever mention it without people thinking you're crazy. You'd have to completely hold it in and know it was your decision to let her die. Also with people saying think of Joyce and David, any parent would give life and limb to save their child no matter the cost. Imagine Joyce having to live with burying William AND Chloe. We saw David break down after telling him Chloe was dead. I don't think I would be able to do that to anyone. Many of the character developments that happened throughout the game changed people for the better, and those changes would mean nothing if you went back in time. That is why Chloe lives. This is not me ridiculing a choice. and there is no right or wrong choice.
imagine urself in max’s shoes, chloe is her only reason to stay in arcadia and why the town has significance to her, her family isn’t in arcadia bay. chloe is her number one priority in her words, and the love of her life depending how u look at it. an 18 yr old girl who had the most impactful and beautiful connection with an old friend in a week and she gives it up? also the fact that it even gives u the choice insinuates that chloe’s fate is set in stone after letting town get destroyed in replacement for chloe dying.
For me it was, that Max only got her powers to save Chloe over and over again, because she is the most important being in her life. She does a lot of things rewinding, but in the end it was all to save Chloe. I think, that she is in love with Chloe since childhood. II'm not sure if Chole is in love with Max, because of Rachels shortly demise,, but Max surely is.
1:06:58 when I first played this game I took a screenshot of the diner because it said die with the lights and I thought it was ironic and hysterical because you’re in a huge storm and it feels or seems like you’re actually about to die as we’ll also thought it was funny word play to
I played life is strange so many years ago but never finished the final act because I wasn’t able to make myself experience the Jefferson creep stuff. Your play through was so good and now I finally got to see how the final act of the game ends without having to do the hard work of experiencing the Jefferson stuff. Thanks for the great playthrough
Id love to see you play life is strange: before the storm! You get to see Rachel and Chloe and some of what Max missed before she came back to Blackwell in this game! Rachel is one of my favourite characters in fiction tbh
you should play life is strange before the storm!! it’s the story of chloe and rachel before the story of life is strange :) so excited to watch this playthrough!! :) x
One wouldn't assume sacrifice the town choice includes you and Chloe because why would one choice be "kill Chloe" and the other choice be "kill Chloe AND the town." That's an easy choice.
The message isn’t necessarily that you have to make that specific last choice. It’s that it requires another big sacrifice. In all technicality, there is no correct answer. just one that seems more palatable to majority of people .
Great playthrough! Unpopular opinion: I love Warren (and actually prefer him over Chloe) he treats Max like the queen that she is und was always there to have her back
Love you Shelby like always lol. Great playthrough. I can say just to note this since I have watched this game and played it that (and I cannot say too much due to certain series of Life is Strange, I want you to theorist on your own and find out) I think Chloe was meant to either die in the bathroom or the Town was to be destroyed due to all the corruption and was suppose to go. Chloe has done a lot of stuff that is unwell and has been through alot yet when Max ends up with these powers, it started when stuff was going horribly wrong in her life as well. There is a theme in this game about death and Max herself does feel guilty for leaving Chloe on silent mode for a long time. Between that and the school and more, it seems that since Chloe lived through a moment where she was meant to die, all her timelines ended up that way. Rachel is a huge part to that as well since she is somewhat the ghost deer that kept popping up around the Junkyard and is a theme of Max's spiritual animal. When you really think about it, the storm started because of Chloe to a degree which I will not say further and Max has to make the choice of a lifetime for all involved since she got involved in the first place. There is a lot I can say but to be honest, the series has always had an interesting plot line that has twist and turns, so we will have to see what you think later on if you play more of the games of Life is Strange. Glad you Enjoyed the game. Can't wait for more
i feel like these games are best experienced off stream so you don't have chat spoiling/yelling at you for every choice. that being said, i really enjoyed watching you play this, it's the first series of yours i've seen and i'm excited to check out your other vods/streams!
i think this is my favourite playthrough of this game i have watched and i have watched like 4 or 5 different playthroughs, i always enjoy watching the thoughts behind all the choices... i really hope we get to see before the storm, LiS: 2 and true colours at some point because i think you'd enjoy them just as much as this one... also maybe the last of us if you haven't played it- i will say, you asked if max keeps her powers after this game and i can answer that she does but they aren't the same... there is a new game in the works that follows max again called Life is strange double exposure.... there is hope for more of our fun and slightly cringy max caufield coming up
I was waiting all a day!!! Yayayayayayayayayyayayayayayaya I can’t wait for you to start the life is strange before the storm game! You will love it if you play it lol
Potential spoilers below, proceed with caution: I have an hour left and my theory is perhaps that blue butterfly represents Chloe if they are destined to be apart. I hope I'm wrong though.
Just noticed another plot flow, why Max would go to exhibition, if she knows that there is a storm, because all other events went in the same way? Second, she can focus on foto what is not made by her?
I refreshed RUclips specifically in hopes for this video just for it to have been posted one minute ago, THIS IS THE BEST
FYI he doesn't kill his victims, he just drugs them, takes pictures, drugs again and returns them to thier dorm room
the serial killer comment really confused me haha
if you were actually nice to Victoria she will believe you about the dark room, but because you warned her about only Nathan, she runs to Jefferson for protection. He kidnaps her and takes her to the dark room and kills her.
that was such a cool playthrough, I hope she'll keep playing narrative games like life is strange 2, detroit become human or baldur's gate 3
Yesss becoming human and lis2 are amazing! I realllyyy hope she plays them as well
im not sure if its ever confirmed why max got her powers right when chloe got shot if saving her just summons a tornado, but my interpretation of the game was that she was given it by some force of nature to help correct itself. nature itself seems to be a recurring theme in the game, maybe even its own character. we hear multiple people say that nature is hurting or dying due to the prescott throughout the game, as if it were alive, so i imagine nature is trying to fight back. it gave max the power of time to help max save chloe, so that they together could find rachel, take down the prescotts and stop jefferson in one fell swoop. and once max uncovers everything, she can go back to the beginning and use the information shes learned to put everything together, with the eco-havoc being a warning to max to not abuse her power, that she cant alter fate and that chloe must die at some point, and if she doesnt heed the warning then the town will be destroyed. just my interpretation
i might be naive but i do think that allowing the storm to continue and destroy the town is max’s payment that she pays in order to have chloe forever and change chloe’s fate. just like how the storm can seize to exist, so can chloe’s death if max wants to. it’s just unfortunately a high price to pay. a whole town. but max went thru memory lane for a reason, recapping all her beautiful moments with chloe, exclaiming her love and the significance chloe is to her before she decides so that she can explain how hard it is to not be selfish and choose a town with no significance without chloe to her, but with many lives, or the love of her life.

I would say jefferson too but he can die in the bunker in episode 5 depending on your choices, so he’d only live in certain playthroughs.
also in the sacrifice arcadia bay ending, according to the letter that victoria writes to david in LiS2, she also survives in this timeline too.

That is why Chloe lives.
This is not me ridiculing a choice. and there is no right or wrong choice.
Death does stop coming for Chloe if she lives. Also comics follow a timeline where Chloe lives.
I know everyone loves Chloe but I think it’s truly insane to pick her over a whole town of people including her mom.
imagine urself in max’s shoes, chloe is her only reason to stay in arcadia and why the town has significance to her, her family isn’t in arcadia bay. chloe is her number one priority in her words, and the love of her life depending how u look at it. an 18 yr old girl who had the most impactful and beautiful connection with an old friend in a week and she gives it up? also the fact that it even gives u the choice insinuates that chloe’s fate is set in stone after letting town get destroyed in replacement for chloe dying.
The second half of this video was a mind trip from start to finish
For me it was, that Max only got her powers to save Chloe over and over again, because she is the most important being in her life. She does a lot of things rewinding, but in the end it was all to save Chloe. I think, that she is in love with Chloe since childhood.

Been watching these whilst i do my paint by numbers for equal amounts of stress and calm ❤
Please play life of strange 2 and the other life of strange games please i throughly wnjoyed watching this!! ❤

i will definitely be playing every game in this franchise!
@@ShubbleLive Was digging through the comments looking to see if you had mentioned it, now i cant wait! I hope to catch them live next time
everyone wake up!!! she back with another videoooooo ahhhh
I love Shubble's reactions at 1:33:50 such a mood during this part of the game 😭
I was so happy to watch you play this!! I've never seen the ending, so I'm devastated 💔 You are fucking awesome and I love you :)
Shubble is a hero. I guess Bay ending
Holy cow the first ending made me cry so muuch
I was so excited every other day to see you continue this crazy and amazingly written story! Love your vids❤
this was one of my favorite gameplays of life is strange you got a cool personality
Ending was emotional 😭❤️
1:58:41 Please tell me I'm not the only one that immediately sang ,"Cuz guilty feet have got no rhythm!" as soon as Dana said that line.
I was waiting all a day!!! Yayayayayayayayayyayayayayayaya I can’t wait for you to start the life is strange before the storm game! You will love it if you play it lol
Ahhh, I was sitting here refreshing for this
Potential spoilers below, proceed with caution:
I have an hour left and my theory is perhaps that blue butterfly represents Chloe if they are destined to be apart. I hope I'm wrong though.
Im sick but this makes me feel betterr ❤
this def has been one of my favorite play throughs of life is strange! ur reactions and reasoning was literally just like mine when i played 💀🙂↕️
What is your favourite ending?
pleaseeeeeee play life is strange 2!!!
watching you play this first one was so much fun
She is going too
Just noticed another plot flow, why Max would go to exhibition, if she knows that there is a storm, because all other events went in the same way?
Second, she can focus on foto what is not made by her?
she seemed to think she fixed things enough that the storm just wouldn’t happen anymore!
I also like that game to it's a pretty nice game I also have played it many times in the past 3 years
Bae before Bay
I feel like you could've had more fun with this game if you played the chapters separately and not in one sitting
this is how i’ll be playing before the storm! i agree i was emotionally drained haha
Shubble you should try and play the new Life is Strange double exposure when it comes out. Because I would love to see you play it.😊
Literally got my popcorn to watch this lol
YESSSSS
Does anyone know if Shelby is planning on playing the next game?
Edit: I should read the comments first lmao
Does anyone know what the game is on? And if it costs money? Also first!❤
It does cost money, I believe it’s on most consoles like xbox, playstation, and pc
It’s on steam. It’s pretty pricey but if you catch it on sale it’s not too bad.
@@sleepystatic ty!
You missed so much by looking at chat. 😒
