r/LifeisStrange2

Stayed up until 5am on my birthday (today) just to finish the game. I got the blood brothers ending and redid some choices for the parting ways ending and holy crap. I cant believe I cried over a video game. Deadass cant eat or move on with my life right now. 11/10 game wish I could play it all over again with a clear conscience.

The post game depression is crazy; it reminds me of when I was younger and platinumed MCSM

This game has truly affected me greatly in a way that no other game has before, and I dont know how to move on from it.

I just finished the game and I'm stuck in what seems to be the obligatory "okay this is all i can think about right now, i want more from the bros....this can't be it🥹" phase.

Does this phase pass? Whats the next phase? And are you all okay🥹?

Believe it or not, I started playing life is strange 2 in January and I stopped playing after finishing episode 2 because I truly wasn’t feeling the game (fell asleep mid play through once :/). Then 2 days ago I suddenly decided to pick it back up and wow… I can’t believe I almost gave up on this amazing story. I really liked episode 3 but episode 4 and 5 man... Soooo good. I played both episodes in one day. >! I ended up getting the ending where they cross the border to Mexico and live peacefully near the ocean.!< I’m pretty sure I got the best ending.

Ngl it mostly lost me in the beginning because it was very slow and it was throwing me off how different it was from the first game. Playing the character without the powers was a little odd and hard to get use to. Daniel was also really hard to like in the beginning but he had a major redemption arc by episode 4 and especially 5.

10/10 game. Amazing story. These life is strange games are the best.

To preface, I hope i've come to the right place for fucking therapy after such an experience🥹. I fucking love this game, despite it's flaws. I didn't put it down for any negative reasons, it was actually because once i got to the border, I thought everything up til then was perfect and i didn't wana leave Away, so I wasn't emotionally ready. That was 2 years ago.

This past week, I've blazed through all 5 eps, doing a low morality and high brotherhood ending because I wanted to keep them TOGETHER.

I got the brotherhood ending and as much as I loved the bros staying together in this ending (and I really do, it has me torn), the fact that they are fugitive criminals now still doesn't sit right with me (yes, even though that was the path i set them on with my choices). But, i couldn't tell if they were both truly happy in that moment sitting on the beach. Sure, they had their arms round one another and they looked at peace, but are they internally at peace? I guess we'll never know.

I didn't feel much the emotion i expected to feel from this ending, and I wasn't satisfied and I needed more and so i couldn't help but watch the lone wolf ending on YT as well as the parting ways ending.

Lone wolf ending, Daniel looked like a badass but at what cost?, I broke when it showed sean's grave, and daniel put that wolf picture on it. Lone wolf perhaps has the most hypothetical sequel potential with the path daniel's on, but it was emotionally heavy and daniel genuinely is LONELY, and carrying trauma. In terms of emotions, this one hit hardest in a heartbreaking way.

Then there's the parting ways and I think, this ending might be the one i prefer most, purely because it seems like BOTH brothers, seem HAPPY, even if they are separated, sean's happy with finn, daniel is besties with his neighbour captain spirit, karen's reconnected with claire and stephen, he's having a normal childhood where he even saved a school bus it looked like. Then the camera cuts to the wolf brothers carving on the tree in the backyard, and i fucking broke. It was fucking beautiful. It's my headcanon that the bros meet up again, somehow following this ending. The only negatives here, are the fans who want these brothers together, we don't get that here sadly, and also, no lyla. the phone call with her in ep 2 of my playthrough still haunts me, to find out how depressed she was.

I'm gana do another play through soon, with high morality, and try and get the redemption ending though from what i've heard, it's one of the least favorable endings.

Anyway I just needed to YAP about this, now that i'm offically part of the post-lis2 depression club, good times. Any thoughts, guys? what's your favorite ending? hows your recovery going?

I ended up getting the redemption ending, and at the time, my mindset was fixated on Daniel as I believed that Daniel deserved a childhood and not have this life of crime and being a fugitive forced on him. However after witnessing Sean go to prison for 15 years, I was DEVASTATED. In the moment it felt good seeing all the pictures of Daniel getting to grow up and have a life, but on the flip side it really sucked seeing Sean clearly traumatized. After finishing, I watched every ending. And I gotta say, despite this ending crushing my soul, it’s probably my favorite. I do wish however, we got some extra dialogue or something from Sean and Daniel at the end there. This game was great though, solid 7.5/10

hi so i recently played life is strange 2 and i saw the main Sean Diaz wolf squad hoodie and i want to get for my own but once I find a official store that sells it it's out of stock I'm gonna be waiting until it restock and I'm gonna buy it.

I’ve noticed more than one person regard Redemption, or really either surrender ending, as a waste of time or something to be easily dismissed. Here is very different perspective.

“You should’ve just surrendered the first five minutes when Sean and Daniel fled the scene to kickstart the game. It would’ve had the exact same effect.”

So what exactly is worth fighting for? By the end, we can witness the physical and mental toll of this outstanding tribulation Sean and Daniel have endured. It’s not simply “giving up”, it’s figuring out who and what becomes of you if you continue.

There’s something to take from every ending. Redemption specifically reminds us of the bitter, unjust and unfair feeling the whole story revolves around. The ending does not nullify one very important proposal the game as a form of media is telling us, that lives like these exist. That law and authority don’t always work within your interest or favor, that life doesn’t keep receipts for how good of a person you are or how many rules you follow.

Life is injustice, opposition, resistance. The incalculably predatory and underhanded circumstances fallen to those least deserving.

That a dream as simple as escaping a mess you didn’t make is a luxury, that you’re susceptible to consequences for what you haven’t even done.

That the desire to yield to all that fights you is stronger than life as you know it.

The truth that some people must surrender, restart their struggle, and that the supernatural isn’t there to rescue them. Whether that be their customs, family, even lives, they must be willing to risk losing it. It’s desolation, it’s despair, it’s defeat. None of it is entirely fictional.

Don’t get me wrong, I still don’t consider this the best ending (or even a “good” one, none of them are in my opinion), and it 100% obviously wouldn’t be the fate I would personally choose for Sean. I think incarceration is as damaging and traumatic as it appears. I truly do understand when people say it’s too unsatisfying of an outcome to a story/game they heavily immersed themselves into, it was for me too.

But it does hold incredible weight. I find the game not only one of the best I’ve ever played, but irreplaceable. It brings awareness and revelation to a vast amount of experiences and livelihoods.

I’m also not accusing any one of being unable to empathize simply for not preferring this ending, because again, I don’t either.

I just think we should feel very passionately about this ending while also being able to recognize the fact most of us wouldn’t willingly chase it.

TLDR; There is lesson and meaning in the message and journey the game provides REGARDLESS of the ending.

So, I just finished yesterday the game for the first time after years of waiting to buy it. Best thing I've done in a while. This game BROKE me (especially episode 4) and it was so good on so many levels.

Episode 5 left me mixed though. I don't know, it felt kind of rushed after arriving to the wall. >!But my main problem is the second time you go there: why did they drive to the gate and not to somewhere else like before? They could've just tore open another section (of course the first opening would be guarded) and go through there, without having to confront the police.!<

Did I miss something or was it done just to get some grand choice for the finale?

Hey, I’m trying to find 3D models from *Life is Strange 2*, especially Sean Diaz, Daniel Diaz, or any other characters from the game.

I’ve already checked places like Sketchfab, DeviantArt, Steam Workshop, RenderHub archives, and older posts, but most links are either deleted, private, or just previews without downloads.

I’ve also tried game ripping tools like **UModel / FModel**, but the results I’ve encountered come out incomplete or broken (missing eye materials, incorrect normals, broken shading, or issues with rigs and textures), so I’m mainly hoping someone has already properly exported or cleaned versions of the models.

If anyone still has:

* SFM / GMod / XPS / FBX / Blender versions
* old Workshop downloads
* archived links or mirrors
* or knows where these models were originally shared

I’d really appreciate any help or leads.

Even partial models or old packs are fine.

Thanks!
