r/LifeIsStrangeDE

Hey so I was wondering something. I've always loved Life is Strange but never got into the fandom until this year. And I saw that many people wanted Max and Safi to be more than friends. And honestly good for you ^^. Personnally I never saw their relationship that way, for me they are just best friends, nothing more. I can’t see them that way. And I was wondering if I was the only one in that case? And for those who ship them that way I would love to hear your point of view, maybe there's something I missed in their dynamic

The campus is beautiful during winter and year round. It would be a dream to have somewhere like the Overlook to hang out with friends after classes or just listen to music after taking some

So on the 4th June next month, it will be 10 years since I first saw this franchise from the first game in the series from a YouTuber's playthrough back in 2016 and my 25th birthday is also coming on the 9th June. As fitting as it sounds, I think I should at least celebrate this in some way or another as this franchise has stuck with me for so long. From starting out as a viewer, from then playing the games that were already out for myself in 2020 and then playing the games that followed after.
I already have some things I have planned to post soon to lead up to this but I would like to ask a quick question. Does anyone have any ideas on how I should celebrate this or do? Should I buy some LIS merchandise?, should I do a marathon of all of the games in the series? or what? I'm open for ideas.

Ok so I have a opinion on Safi and I’m not sure if others share it. So when I first played DE and saw Safi and her personality I liked her so I was a little sad when I remembered what the trailer told us about her. But later on after she got mad at Max for telling her mom about the book deal and then learning that she had powers it seemed like her attitude changed and I started not liking her as much. I felt the same way at the beginning of Reunion too. Did anyone else feel the same way or just not like Safi from the beginning?

Finished DE and RE with the combo pack and here's what I like and didnt:

What I like: The reveal that Max was the one who shot safi was perfect. It opened up so many possibilities and questions that made me lean forward my chair. I liked Safi and Moses as Maxes new inner circle. The gingerbread house mission made me tear up. This is a pro and con combined but I liked the detectives story. It was a good change to have someone 3rd party really catch on to the powers and investigate our character. I just hate they didnt do anything with him after he poofs away.

What I don't like: Meddling with Gwen, Lucas, and Yasmins careers. I realize it's all connected to Safi dopple ganger actions however I just found those parts boring. I didnt really like any of the new characters apart from Safi and Moses. The love interests were pretty boring too and felt forced more than other games. At least in TC the were really part of the story while here Amanda and Vinh felt like dating simulator because devs think thats what fans want from a Life is Strange game. Just too forced. Lastly Im sick of dream sequences. They certainly are "strange" but happening AGAIN in the finale is overkill.

Overall not my favorite game but I don't understand why this game is so hated. I know its because fans wanted Chloe but there was no way they would have the budget to include Chloe in it unless they opted to make essentially 2 separate games depending on who you save. I give it a good ol ign 7/10. Above average
