I really, really shouldn't have chose not to tell Chloe. That ending is unfair.

Oh god, yes you made a huge mistake.
I haven't seen that ending yet but someone posted about it earlier in the thread, I think I would still be crying now 9 hours later if I had made that choice.

Yeah I'm glad I didn't do that. That would have been completely soul crushing. I couldn't do it the first time I had the opportunity. But I did the second time it came up.

Okay, well now I need to play something very happy so I don't cry all night.

LiS2 is going to have a high bar to beat.

If you figure out a good happy game to play, let me know. The only other one I have going right now is Night in the Woods, and that game has some sad vibes to it too, so I don't know if I wanna hop back into that again right after this. I tried playing some Overwatch, but I couldn't concentrate. Funny YouTube videos are the only thing to cheer me up so far today haha.

I suggest Kingdoms and Castles. It's a charming little city builder with little block people in the medieval times. You can disconnect and just enjoy watching your little blocky subjects run around and attend to towns. You can even turn off invaders and dragons and what not and only focus on city building. It helped me unwind after the trauma of that one ending.

Nice, I like city builders. I'll check that one out, maybe pick it up tomorrow or something.

Maybe Paper Mario, it's one of my happiest games ever.


One more note
The ending makes saving Chloe even easier. As much as David means to joyce, having her lose her daughter after seeing what losing William did to her is just beyond awful. To say she would be soul crushed would be the biggest understatement ever.

For some reason I can't download the bonus episode. When I click the episode it just takes me to the PSN store page of the deluxe edition (which I have downloaded) and that's it. :(

Yeah there seems to be something weird going on with the console versions.

Someone posted this earlier in the thread: "you can just hover over the games tile on the PS4 dashboard and then click down on the d-pad. Go all the way down and it will bring you a list of Add-ons/Extras. For me, Farewell was right at the top just waiting for me to click it."

So try that, and hopefully it will work for you. For some reason you have to manually download the episode apparently.

can I just grab the bonus episode separately or do I have to have the deluxe edition?
If you mean can you get the bonus episode without owning BtS, then no you need to own BtS.

You can upgrade the normal version to the deluxe version to get the bonus episode though if you don't have the deluxe.

Same thing happened to me. Go to the life is strange icon on your ps4 dash, press down for more options, select PlayStation store and then redownload the ep

Is Farewell not playable on PS4 yet? Boo

Edit:nevermind I thought the 1.05 patch was it. Just saw the posts above. They need to fix the in game link so that it goes to the episode and not the deluxe upgrade if you already own it.

Sigh. 2gb download. Not saying by farewells tonight >_<

Wait so there are two different endings to farewell?

I hope after playing bts and farewell y'all who picked wrong in lis are full of regret. Haha

I think a big group hug is needed. I'm just sitting here listening to the bts title screen feeling that postgame depression you get when you finish an amazing game.

Kudos to dontnod and decknine and damn them for making me feel this way!

Finished. Wow what a ride...

this is the most I have cried in all episodes of LiS and BtS. Life has been so hard on Chloe and it is clear that the Bae ending is the true ending, Chloe needs a break!

Probably the 2nd most in the series for me. The all-time winner for me is the
alternate universe sequence

Thumbs up for the unboxing. I am super jealous now and I love the cd cover.

Can you post a couple of pictures of the cd booklet, if it is a booklet?
I'll be posting pics of everything in here as soon as I get it, so if there is a booklet I will make sure to get a picture of it.

Holy shit I shouldn't have played this so early in the day I'm going to be depressed for a while.
I'm glad I chose to tell Chloe I was moving and didn't just leave her hanging

Finished about 20 minutes ago and I'm emotionally wrecked.

I went through all kinds of emotions. During that hour or so.

Look I love Max+Chloe a lot (bae ending for life), but Farewell+BTS has made me see Max in a new light.

Chloe really needed her best friend, moving was out of her control. But straight out ghosting the messages. That's heartbreaking and I feel so sad and angry for Chloe.

Jesus, it hurts so good ;~; Season 2 can't come soon enough. Amazing work by Deck Nine!

If I do a replay of LiS, I'll definitely choose

Definitely impressive how Deck Nine managed to create an experience that lives up to the original and even surpasses it in some ways, after all of the scepticism that came about when it was learned that another developer would handle this prequel story. Before the Storm even manages to enhance the original LiS by doing a good job of fleshing out Chloe's backstory. Made me appreciate her more as a character, after seeing what she goes through first-hand.

I didn't pay attention to any media surrounding the bonus episode, so I was somewhat surprised that we actually played as Max and not Chloe. It was cool, but I would have liked one opportunity where we see Chloe and Max interact, but from Chloe's perspective this time.

Life certainly wasn't kind to Chloe. Like others, I'd have liked some more elaboration as to why Max ignored her when she leaves town until the events of LiS, especially when...
she makes such a big deal of staying in contact with Chloe in the bonus episode (I guess depending on your choices?).
I suppose a valid interpretation of it would be just that Max felt insanely awkward about it? It's a bit out of character, though.

I think she didn't know how to deal with it. She's 13, moving literally a completely new state, a small town to a big city, and didn't know what to say to Chloe. She knew realistically being able to go see her at all would be very hard, let alone all the time or even like once a month or so.

I kind of wish we got a little more specific insight as to why, but I'm not going to hate her for it.
