why is the worst, most despicaple character from Life is Strange gets her own game???
and why does this game have so much positive reviews???

honest questions. i really want to know.

Chloe "i gotta blame someone because i don't want to blame myself" Price, was the absolute worst, most disgusting, despicable, selfish and detestable character i have ever encountered in a game, let alone in Life is Strange.
she was so terrible i sympathized more with Nathan Perscott than her.

in case you didn't play the original, here's a quick rundown of her ♥♥♥♥♥♥ deeds:

stealing canabis from a drug dealer
stealing a gun from her step-father
expecting her friend to take the blame for something she did
abusing her friend's special powers for selfish reasons
enticing her friend to commit crime
stealing money intended for disabled students subsidation
planing to commit first-grade as revenge without any due process.

the list goes on and on. and of course lets not forget her infamous line: "i gotta bleme somebody, otherwise im gonna have to blame myself, F*k that"

so out of all the interesting characters that actually deserved more attention, they chose THAT horrible harlot? why?
how can anyone like her, to generate her very own game? how can this terrible character be likable in a game where she is the main character???

Because Chloe is hella amazing, one of a kind.

Because it's great (even if not as great as the original, though SMMV).

Complete and utter bullsh*t. Chloe is hella amazing, you just can't see it because you're hella single-minded, bitter, have no empathy and so on.

So you actually sympathized a psycho beatch with a habit to get butthurt over everything and hurt anyone in close vicinity. 'nuff said.

Proof.

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:

Taking, not stealing, it in order to protect herself, after she almost got shot.

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:

She didn't expect anything, she only wanted to vent some heat because step-d**che had already been packing too much on her. And if you not only let your friend down by not hiding, but also redirected heat on her when she needed help, you are a sh*tty friend.

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:

Having fun is not selfish, especially when you constantly have to deal with bullsh*t. Plus, Chloe got worried about Max getting nosebleeds and, especially, having a blackout (after which she helped her out).

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:

And what exact crime are you talking about?

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:
stealing money intended for disabled students subsidation
Please, we all know where that money would've gone. Wells's booze and some repairs for Blackwell. Plus, Chloe needed money to pay Frank off. Wouldn't you want to help your friend out in such situation, especially after the display like Frank did in Chloe's lair?

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:

Have you forgotten that she had hella reason to do that? And where that "due process" ended?

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:

Yeah, I guess some hella bitter and heartless person like you can think of a bajilion things to get butthurt about. Doesn't make them any less untrue.

Have your life turned upside down and f*cked over a lot of times and we'll see how you'll react.

Bitterness and jealousness ground hella sub zero.

yes, like any other normal person.

@deathlane

"proof"
she was constantly taking canabis from frank promising to pay him when she knew she had no money

"Taking, not stealing"
what toddler logic is this? she ADMITTED she stole David's gun, and if she really wanted protection she would have told him about nathan.

"Having fun is not selfish"
yes IT IS how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thick are you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ max did all the stupid sequance in the forest against her will, the fact that chloe's reaction to discovering an amazing power her friend has is just "lets do ♥♥♥♥♥'n'giggles with it" just shows how shallow she is as well.

"And what exact crime are you talking about"
breaking into the school, which accomplished nothing except getting max nearly expelled

"Please, we all know where that money would've gone"
chloe had no way of knowing that, hell, the game never actually tells where the money goes. the only thing we do know is that they didn't give it to chloe when she was terminally crippled by the car accident in the alternate timeline.
i don't know about you, but wasting precious donor money on someone you know is dying and can't even do basic functions is something that even the most generous people would try to avoid.

"She didn't expect anything, she only wanted to vent some heat"
no, she litreally accused max on bailing on her and saying she's a terrible friend if you failed to hide and refuse to take the blame on yourself

"And if you not only let your friend down by not hiding, but also redirected heat on her when she needed help, you are a sh*tty friend"
wow what a pathetic statement. first. hiding is litreally impossible unless you use your time powers.
and second, im a ♥♥♥♥♥ friend because i didn't redirect heat that was totally justfied? why would max risk being expelled and be anagonized by the school's security officer, just to help chloe avoid a punishment she completely deserves???

"Chloe needed money to pay Frank off" oh yeah, stealing money to pay off a drug dealer after she lied to him she has money, yeah, totally moral and makes chole likable,

"Wouldn't you want to help your friend out in such situation, especially after the display like Frank did in Chloe's lair"
hell ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ no. i woud stay as far away as possible from "friend" that steals drugs from a drug dealer and then steals money to pay off his debt, i would want to have a friend like that.

"Have you forgotten that she had hella reason to do that? And where that "due process" ended"
she had every proof that was needed to arrest nathan and interrogate him. and sentense him, and the teacher accomplice for life.
but instead she literally goes "Fk the police" and gets herself killed after walking into an OBVIOUS trap

"Have your life turned upside down and f*cked over a lot of times and we'll see how you'll react."
my life got f*cked over multiple times in my life, but i got over it because I TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY ACTIONS and didn't act like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ baby demanding the world to change for me
literally the only person chloe can blame for her mishaps is HERSELF

based off the amounts of "hella" and stupid lines taken from the games i have high suspicions that you are just an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ troll and that i just wated my time trying to talk sense into you

The thing about Chloe Price is that you need to be able to see beyond what she portrays as her personality because she is angry at the world because of the way life was dealt to her.

She had a very stable Mother/Father and a great relationship with both of them. Then her father gets killed suddenly in a car accident and is yanked out of her life and basically the exact same time her BFF Max Caulfield is forced to move away to Seattle, so she looses EVERYTHING in the blink of an eye, basically.

Then almost immediately her Mother decides to re-marry and that is not her fault it is just the way Joyce is, she moves on and does that quickly and Chloe can't keep up...

This causes her to think that everything is against her, and she becomes this angry person who is absolutely LONGING to have someone as a friend even though she won't admit that to herself or anyone else.

Along comes Rachel Amber and they become good friends and maybe even lovers and then she is also taken from Chloe by Mark Jefferson the psychopath photographer even though it was actually Nathan Prescott that did the deed it was Jefferson who set it up to happen because of his photography fetish.

So now Chloe is seeing that the world is against her AGAIN, she is also still a kid and can't see things from an adult point of view and that makes her angry and hateful of everything and everyone.

She wants to love someone but she is also afraid to fall in love again because every time she does that person gets yanked out of her life and she does not want that HURT to come back again, if it does it might kill her and she actually does not want to die even though she might say she does.

If Chloe does love you, she loves you far more then most people do she loves you to the core of her being and then if you leave her she just can't take it anymore....Chloe would die to save you without hesitation if she loves you I have no doubt about that and that is why at the end of Life is Strange I can't allow her to die, she must live because I, as Max, LOVE her and I know for a fact she loves me, as Max...

You mean like any heartless person.

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:

Frank gave it to her himself, so it's not stealing at all. And she paid her debts eventually.

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:

Ah, so that's the kind of logic you're using. Well, everything falls into place then.

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:

Go replay LiS. Chloe never said she stole the gun. Also, in case you've forgotten, David treated her like sh*t and, as Chloe assumed, was teaming with Nathan.

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:

First, what sequence in the forest? Second, Chloe never made Max do anything against her will.

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:

You mean Chloe's reaction to Max telling her that. Also, your words show how shallow and hollow you are.

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:
breaking into the school, which accomplished nothing except getting max nearly expelled
They had the keys, so it isn't breaking. They didn't get caught and the police only saw Chloe's truck nearby, so they got nothing on Max. Also, as you've clearly forgotten, they were investigating Rachel and Kate.

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:
chloe had no way of knowing that, hell, the game never actually tells where the money goes. the only thing we do know is that they didn't give it to chloe when she was terminally crippled by the car accident in the alternate timeline.
And if girls take the money, there is a notice near the dorm about repairs being delayed due to no funds. Plus, do you really think Wells buys his booze only on his money? Ah right, I forgot, toddler logic.

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:
no, she litreally accused max on bailing on her and saying she's a terrible friend if you failed to hide and refuse to take the blame on yourself
Because you are a terrible friend in that scenario. Also, try hiding and taking the blame and look at Chloe's reaction.

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:

Wowser, what a pathetic excuse.

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:

Because that's what true friends do, help their friends in need, stand with them and f*ck everything that's against them? But I guess it's hella beyond your understanding. Also, Chloe doesn't deserve any of the sh*t she has to deal with. Au contraire.

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:
oh yeah, stealing money to pay off a drug dealer after she lied to him she has money, yeah, totally moral and makes chole likable
First, you are wrong, Chloe only said You'll get your money. And yes, it is totally moral. If you have a heart, that is.

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:
hell ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ no. i woud stay as far away as possible from "friend" that steals drugs from a drug dealer and then steals money to pay off his debt, i would want to have a friend like that.
So you'd abandon your friend simply because she's in trouble. Speaks volumes, really.

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:

She believed the police to be "Nathan's private security" due to the levels of Prescotts corruption. And she was in hella cold rage.

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:

Hella unlikely. Plus, Chloe doesn't demand anything from the world.

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:

Riiiiight. It's Chloe's fault that William got killed and Max left and abandoned her. It's Chloe's fault that Joyce ignored her needs and glomed onto "step-f*cker" David who treated Chloe like sh*t. And it's Chloe's fault that Rachel did a lot of sh*t behind her back, which ultimately let to her abduction and death.

I like that LiS doesn't try to whitewash Chloe's attitude and behaviour. Yes, she is obnoxious. She is VERY obnoxious. But the game and Max NEVER excuse this - Max notes in her diary that she doesn't care for Chloe's petulant side, and initially it is obvious that Chloe is pushing her around. At first, Max hangs out with her out of a mix of nostalgia and guilt. But the thing is, Chloe grows throughout the game, as Max brings out more of her real self beyond the edgy persona as their relationship progresses from that awkward beginning to a more natural phase, and this process leads all the way to the climax of the game, where she's ready to be perfectly selfless.

Chloe is a conflictive teen with deep-seated abandonment issues and she's quite likely battling depression. She still has a lot of work ahead of her if you choose the Bae ending, and if her character growth doesn't stick then Max is going to be in a very toxic relationship. But Chloe is ultimately a good person, and I believe she and Max will be fine.

Not even remotely. Chloe may look like it when she's alone against the world, but that's just it.

Max only notes about Chloe's petulant side when they are going to find out about Rachel and Frank. And just where is Chloe pushing Max around?

Originally posted by Hroþa:

Not at all. Max actually writes I'm just so glad Chloe and I are a team again. And if you look at her notes, it's obvious that she is happy to be with Chloe again.

Actually, not that much of a work. What Chloe needed is someone who will care about and support her, who will be there for her no matter what. She already hella started caring about stuff after everything Max did for her. After Max declines to let her die, with the well-known consequences? They can actually take over the world together.

honest questions. i really want to know.

No probs, I love these games so will try and answer from my perspective.

Chloe is hurting, her life hasn't gone very well to say the least and sometimes people in those circumstances lash out. They push others away, use it as a defence mechanism, and also to build walls because from their point of view it means they can't get hurt again. ♥♥♥♥ the World can be very much a part of that.

It's a difficult cycle to break, hella hard, and I think Chloe's character demonstrates this perfectly. Plus (looking at the first game) she probably doesn't quite know how to act around Max, considering Max hadn't been in touch for 5 years and has literally just walked back into her life again - that must feel extremely weird, even if you're happy with what is happening.

Spoilery stuff for Farewell: If you wanted to experience where all this begins, play the Farewell episode (DLC in Before the Storm) - I think it gives a perfect insight into how Chloe's life changed. It's heart breaking, but it shows how fragile things can be and how life can change in an instant

Like you I have sympathy for Nathan. He was a very fragile mentally-ill teenager being manipulated by an evil psychopathic villain, someone who was in a position of trust and abused that trust for his own depravity

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:

stealing canabis from a drug dealer
stealing a gun from her step-father

abusing her friend's special powers for selfish reasons
enticing her friend to commit crime
stealing money intended for disabled students subsidation
planing to commit first-grade as revenge without any due process.

Yeah it's all a bit extreme but part of the experience of Life is Strange is that rollercoaster ride of "now what?" that just keeps coming with the surprises. I think the heightened drama works well, in the context of a fictional work, but yeah.. she's pretty busy with all the wrong things to do. All part of her ♥♥♥♥ the World attitude because Chloe Price is angry, hurt.

I know bad things happen and not everyone tries to deal with it in the way Chloe does. But I think the point is that Chloe isn't handling it at all, never has, and never came to terms.

Originally posted by Jolly Jew:

the list goes on and on. and of course lets not forget her infamous line: "i gotta bleme somebody, otherwise im gonna have to blame myself, F*k that"

Exactly!
And who does Chloe blame when Max asks?
In her logical mind she knows it was an accident, in her emotional mind she was abandoned.
Chloe is still grieving, still lost, her world collapsed from beneath her feet. In a way she was grieving for Max too, when Max left and didn't stay in touch

Chloe can be polarising, but from my perspective when I first played Life is Strange I saw a lot more to Chloe - I saw a real person who could be any of us one day. There is something very real and very close, certainly to me, about Chloe Price and when I heard we would get to play as her a few years previous to Life is Strange I was overwhelmed with excitement.

She is one of the most in-depth, amazing, beautiful and well thought out characters I've ever come across in fiction - I'm counting books, tv & movies as well.

Before the Storm actually helped confirm I made the right choice at the end of Life is Strange - Bae > Bay

Farewell underlined that about a million times.
