Andrew Bui I was born in a small one in Brazil This is my first year living in another city, and it is in the litoral Huge diference, I miss my small town everyday No shopping centers, no McDonalds, no tourists, everbody is your friend and plenty of small cozy houses Beside that, I still miss the hills, the open fields and trees, the cold breeze
@@davidortiz3094 It seems like people from the city wants to go live in a small town and then people from small towns want to move into the city lol (or maybe just in the movies).
Hands Off Yes and no. Arcadia Bay was inspired by Tillamook Bay. There’s an episode of the game they showed the Arcadia Bay’s ZIP Code and putting it in Google Maps, it shows Tillamook Bay. But, yes, the fictional town’s style was based in multiple towns in Oregon.
The Blue Moon diner, the diner the Two Whales was based off of has those 2 items on their menu And the owner, sometime around LiS’s release, literally changed their slogan to “Welcome Time Travellers”
@@_EllieLOL_ I know I'm a year late, but if you put their name into Google, first result is indeed "Blue Moon Diner - Welcome fellow time travelers!" There is also a review from "W. Graham" hmmm
imagine walking around downtown cosplaying as some of the life is strange characters. I wonder if the locals would get the reference! would be a cool video to see made!
I actually just got to do that, dressing as Chloe *in* Arcadia Bay! It was such an awesome feeling and experience, though unfortunately nobody got the reference. Video on my channel! ^_^
Holy shit!?!? I stayed in a hotel there on the coast last summer because we were visiting my mom's boyfriend's parents on the way to Springfield. And it never even occurred to me that the game took place in a real world location.
Dude imma cry.. i just wish i could move to garibaldi oregon in a snap. Small towns like those are one of my comfort places to live in. Wish max and chloe was there..
That's awesome. I wonder though if there are teenagers living there you. Sometimes these small towns have basically only elderly people living in them. It might be interesting to interview the teens living there on what it's like growing up in a town like that. I wish could move to Oregon in general but especially a small oceanside town like that.
Warren tells Max there is a drive-in just 60 miles away to Newberg, OR. If Garibaldi is supposed to be the real Arcadia Bay, then it's 84 miles to Newberg and not 60. Yet many fans of LIS have stated Tillamook, OR is the closest you'll get to the real Arcadia Bay which is 74 miles to Newberg making Tillamook 10 miles closer than Garibaldi. Then again, Warren could be 10 or 20 miles off. So who knows.
Or maybe they just fudged with stuff a bit to avoid making it exactly on a real life place..? Tillamook is a much larger town -- I don't think the game would be based on that. Also, there might be some back roads that get you closer (IIRC some of the roads were washed out in the past few years?)
@@enjicooper1779 Maybe. Or maybe someone at Square Enix doesn't know the differnce between miles and kilometers. Dontnod Entertainment is a French is a French video game developer and publisher based in Paris. They have the Metric System so maybe they don't understand US customary units.
bro !, my town looks alot like Arcadia Bay ! we even get the same vibe. it storms alot here. well i guess some towns i visit sometimes do remind me of Arcadia Bay.
I love living in Oregon, where a small forestry trail is in your neighborhood, a river just a few miles, the coast an hour or two, and even a desert is possible If you’re daring for the drive.
This video inspired me to do the trip myself! It really is such a charming small town, the coast is absolutely beautiful and with so many great nice people too. Now I *really* want to live there some day!
Garibaldi the town probably took the most inspiration, but on a map, Newport looks like Arcadia Bay because its ocean sided and has the famous lis1 lighthouse There is no exact place that Arcadia Bay was based on, but you can say Garibaldi was used for inspiration the most from a real-life standpoint
DQ company bought the name of their restaurant and land in 2010 till now. The restaurant you mentioned at 1:07 was before being named the Oregon Blue Dinner Whales restaurant. Most of the customers there are truckers, they will eat there before going to their destination, usually their destination is very far, this restaurant is their last stop.
I've been there so many times and had no idea that it was Girabaldi that Arcadia Bay was based on! I knew it was somewhere in Oregon but didn't think it was a specific place.
Ah, yes! I thought the town looked familiar from my past trips up and down the coast. I appreciate how they mixed some real places in there: Seattle, Newport, Newberg.. kind of surprised they didn't mention Portland but talked up Seattle (queue Portlandia/Seattle sketches) :D... These days Portland has a bit more grittiness to it than Seattle though, thanks to gentrification :/...
I think I saw Chloe at the gas station. Ok, I am just kidding. Wow! Amazing neighborhood and fantastic video game. I definitely suggest it to everyone...
i heard this game was based on several places in Oregon. But this is so cool. I want to be a millionaire just so I can hire a bunch of professionals to recreate the life is strange map, every place from chloe's house to the junkyard to blackhell. It would be better than Disney land no doubt
Yes its in Oregon but if you do move there be careful, I live up in Seattle and drive thru Portland when I go camping and its been getting worse so if you do move there just avoid portland.
Housing can be pretty expensive and the income tax is fairly high. But there is no sales tax and car registration is quite inexpensive. Overall, prices are pretty reasonable out here, but the housing market is definitely booming. If you can move out here, Oregon is a great place to live. I've lived here for over 25 years and as soon as I arrived, it felt like home. The climate is also very similar to Italy with a mild Mediterranean climate, which makes us one of the best wine regions in the world. If you can find a small city, that might be a good compromise between a small town and Portland. Some good choices are Corvallis, Ashland, Eugene, Bend and Hood River. If you're looking to the coast, I highly recommend Newport, Yachats (very small and quiet) and Canon Beach.
thanks for this video. im on the bonus episode with max and i wondered if it's an actual place. great game, lots of emotions (i chose to protect rachel from the truth)
Same even tho in Life is strange 2 i got sad seeing a sign where it said something like "rest in piece to all the victims in the arcadia bay accident" broke my heart kinda
It looks nothing like Arcadia though. I don't see a school, a lighthouse, a diner, or even water. The mountain is the only thing that kinda looks like Arcadia lol.
Not everyone agrees with me or sees my point, but small towns have certain beauties to them.
Eyy 69 likes😂
Yeah i totally agree
Same, I think that every small town has something unique about them

Hahaha, yes!!
hahaha omg, coincidence? I think not! :D
XDD
good spot
Hahaha lol nice one
Wish I could just move to Oregon in a fingersnap, it looks so gorgeous. And there's something about small towns that attract me so much.
Same here!! It's so beautiful out there. ❤️
Getting out of the city is sometimes needed for a lot of people.

I used to go to school in Garibaldi, I lived in Rockaway Beach. So bad ass to see my home town in a video game
Oh man, that must be so cool, even cooler on the point of view of a french dude 😮
I wish I could see this place some day
@@ThatGinkot It's a bunch of towns combined, not just yours.

Blackwell academy? Lol
The LIS tracks are just so fitting so these type of road trips along the Oregon coast. Really feels like you're in the game itself.
I could sure go for a bacon omelette at The Two Whales...or maybe a Belgian waffle...
The Blue Moon diner, the diner the Two Whales was based off of has those 2 items on their menu
And the owner, sometime around LiS’s release, literally changed their slogan to “Welcome Time Travellers”
Yes! We can make good waflles:) The best are only found in Belgium though ;)

@@Ashquacks Oh really...it's sad to know that no one sees the reference :((
I wonder if ANYONE in that town knew "holy shit our little town is in a video game"
This makes me wanna get up and start a new life somewhere.
me too
Wow
Taylor Christensen im a big fan
Preach it sista
Wait lol I was already subbed
Hi Taylor.
1 Dislike... That must be Nathan Presscot
xXBLAZEKINXx but nathan died
Its most obivious is Sean presscot
T. Ness how do you know
T. Ness that he died
donkey yah Jefferson said he killed Nathan Prescott.
Love it. I can totally see Max and Chloe on these streets. Thanks for posting this.
Wowser!
Omg I'm freaking out, I always thought that nothing but a Bay was there, I have to visit that town once in my life, before the storm at least 😄
That forest right next to the town is so cool
This is amazing, and beautiful, and super cool!
I just finished playing Life is Strange and now I'm playing Life is Strange 2 and I'm missing Arcadia Bay!
coolest part is that there are dozens of small towns along the Oregon coast that could pass as Arcadia Bay, Garibaldi is one of many
1:03 looks like chloe is having breakfast at the diner to the right.
Holy shit!?!? I stayed in a hotel there on the coast last summer because we were visiting my mom's boyfriend's parents on the way to Springfield. And it never even occurred to me that the game took place in a real world location.

"Life is Strange" was one of the most emotional games I've ever played. Who knew that I'd get stationed here in Garibaldi with the USCG!
Omg this is a beautiful town. I live in Tokyo now but I definitely want to move there
I love to visit Japan
this is beautiful
I wonder how those people feel about knowing that there town has its own digital version.
The town looks as cute and beautiful as it does in the game. I'd love to visit there one day.

OMG WHAT THE!
Im pretty sure I bet Theres a real Chloe blazing and a max taking pics and a Rachel being mysterious around there somewhere. Im so Subscribing now
Wow it sure feels like Arcadia Bay. Except I didn't notice a lighthouse... But fu*k it. The mood is present.
1:19 Oh look, Blackwell Academy.
Where?
After That Red And White Building On Right Side..
Amazeballs this is awesome
At the beginning I was like "nah that's not Arcadia bay get real."
Midway through the video I'm like, "Holy shit........"
Omg! Thank you SO much for this! I now have content for my fan account! 💗💗💗
Take me there🥺
This video inspired me to do the trip myself! It really is such a charming small town, the coast is absolutely beautiful and with so many great nice people too. Now I *really* want to live there some day!
if only it were raining that day...
Grazie...
I would love to see this town at night
0:16 that blue house looks just like Chloe’s in the alternate timeline
I never seen before it’s just real world not the end of world
I love Oregon 💙

I'm trying to plan a trip like this for the Fall this year. But it's a long drive from Chicago, and I think I need actual friends first.
Go alone! More freedom that way (and less embarrassment when you fangirl out over being in Life Is Strange land). ;)
I'll be your friend! Please sub me!
Imagine me, trying to go there, from Burgundy in France to Oregon.
Must be quite a trip
The trip isn't too bad if you fly into SeaTac and drive down, its only 6 or 8 hours.
1:07 - isn’t it like two wales?

I’m going to hopefully be moving there soon! Just found out my fav game is based on it hahah, hopefully it works out !
wow, so the true ending is save this town, i want to go there
I visit this place (Garibaldi) like more than ten times a year lol I never realized Arcadia was so close to me
LUCKY
I miss max so much where is she now
I've been there so many times and had no idea that it was Girabaldi that Arcadia Bay was based on! I knew it was somewhere in Oregon but didn't think it was a specific place.

hella cool road trip !!
Life is Strange é muito vida
You're awesome! Subscribing!
Damn I've been through Garibaldi and I never noticed how similar they look!
I hop3 i see the real Blackwell Academy
Its beautiful.
So like 7 gas stations in a 2 minute drive?
Not nearly as much of a crazy, noisy, bizarre town as I'd imagined.
I think I saw Chloe at the gas station. Ok, I am just kidding. Wow! Amazing neighborhood and fantastic video game. I definitely suggest it to everyone...
So Cool!!! Love it, Gotta go there to visit, I was wondering how does seattle for the life is strange 2
Home sweet home
It is very beautiful！😍
i heard this game was based on several places in Oregon. But this is so cool. I want to be a millionaire just so I can hire a bunch of professionals to recreate the life is strange map, every place from chloe's house to the junkyard to blackhell. It would be better than Disney land no doubt
1:23 the gas station, the parking lot, and the restaurant should be there 🥲 very look alike
imagine driving around for hours without even knowing it
This is "THE" vibe
Was the State in Oregon?
If it is, it’s definitely my official place to move in the future.
Yes its in Oregon but if you do move there be careful, I live up in Seattle and drive thru Portland when I go camping and its been getting worse so if you do move there just avoid portland.
Is the cost of life in Oregon expensive? I'm italian and I would love so so much to move there... (Not Portland obv, I don't really like big cities).
Housing can be pretty expensive and the income tax is fairly high. But there is no sales tax and car registration is quite inexpensive. Overall, prices are pretty reasonable out here, but the housing market is definitely booming. If you can move out here, Oregon is a great place to live.

Looks nice, I'd totally let a tornado rip through there to save the one I love though
Well chole wasn't lieing about moving out of arcadia bay

Small towns are actually beautiful.

Same even tho in Life is strange 2 i got sad seeing a sign where it said something like "rest in piece to all the victims in the arcadia bay accident" broke my heart kinda
I love it. So cool. Thanks
That's so dope

Cool!) Mountains 1 to 1. I would like to see Blackwell) Unfortunately there is no lighthouse(
Truly inspiring. Let me tag along next time you go lol.
Oh my god someday!!
So is this place where the Netflix serie troll hunter is base of?
I familiar with this city location gravity falls cartoon.silent hill city.and life is strange game location arcadia bay city.
Hey, I know the video already has some years, but did you find a sort of like "Two Whales in real life" inside Garibaldi?
No, not in Garibaldi 😟 I think the Two Whales is based off of a diner in Portland, but I didn't bother trying to find it when I was out there.
Wowser, the game looks hella alike the real town.
No Stop Lights, less than 1000 ppl
Why did I get emotional?
NO LIGHTHOUSE, NO CHANCE!
Love the game. Love your video! Thank you.
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 existe msm!? 😃😃😃😃😍😍 Queria muito poder visitar
AWESOME!
imagine using a location on Netflix series
Wowzer.
