Deck Nine's explanation for the ending

I mean, honestly, if THAT's their take, then I'm not sure they've been paying attention to the LiS games themselves. The "moral and ethical consequences of using powers"? No ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥! We've SEEN the consequences (especially moral) of using those powers way back in the first game. I'm not sure why they think they now need to focus more on the ethical quandary of that by making Safi abuse them.

In fact, I don't think ANY of the LiS games ever indicated that using the powers comes without consequence, especially moral and ethical concerns. Maybe True Colors made it seem like it wasn't as bad (although Alex exploding at Mac and almost beating him to a pulp clearly indicated that even an "emphath/telepath" can be dangerous in the right circumstances).

Max has solved the issue like an hero who understands "moral and ethical consequences". Do you really want somebody dead? Who then?

Didn't say I want anybody dead. Just because this game ends, doesn't mean they HAD to follow up with a sequel to continue the story. The issue is that they already established more than once the consequences of using powers. You don't need more LiS games "exploring" that to come to that conclusion. Now if they wanted to explore a character using their powers for ill intent, then I'm sure there was a better way of executing it than the way they did it in this game. Especially since one of the endings let's you side with Safi.

they were rushing so much during making this game that they did not focus on the writing or plotlines or good character development or difficult choices to make and consequences and above all they never thought about the ending so they were rushing so much that they had no idea what they were doing anymore and because of that mistake everything failed and now with a cliffhanger ending they have no idea how to continue anymore its just really sad and dissapointing.

The only part that seemed weird to me is when they said something along the lines of "in many instances of LIS 1 Max used her powers in rather evil ways..." or something along those lines, which... what? lol.

She does, like getting Victoria wet and stealing her answer in class, for example. She can also basically spill beans on Frank than rewind. She doe splay with her powers in unethical ways at points.

No, you were not paying attention to what the characters are saying.

Simply put, Max cannot fix Safi's trauma.

They don't care what you think, just buy dem juicy cat content and get excited for the next dlc like everyone else.

The fact they say that and don't mention True Colors with scene like this one (the VERY PREVIOUS GAME before this one) really makes me think both Kuan and Stauder are incredibly clueless and should not be directing this franchise at all.

I get that, but they're exaggerating that aspect of her powers with the way they said it.

These people are too dumb to write a Life is Strange game. And hopefully they will never get another chance.

Except Kuan has a Peabody with True Colors, defeating your argument.

I did not even notice that I want all the girls to die, they're just kind of the people that you shouldn't hang out with but everyone is different so it's a matter of opinion. Reggie is that dude with the puzzle box in Double Exposure (he's annoying, but not more than Diamond)

To people who ship Max & Chloe, they don't know how much ♥♥♥♥ she caused for stupid things and are blinded by their chemistry
