I don't know if anyone else has said this, but there are two photos max could jump to:

The one with Warren....but also the one you have to take at the very beginning of the game no matter what, which is coincidentally the one taken before Chloe getting shot by nathan.

Maybe max uses the warp point with warren, and finds that nothing she do will change the outcome, much like with the in the past photo warp she did to prevent Chloe's dad from dying.

So, max uses that one to jump back in time. However, this logic leads heavily to chloe dying permanently to save the town.

This still is in line with my theory that Chloe isn't supposed to live. The universe is giving max a chance to make up for the 5 years she was gone, over the course of 5 days.

Also: for the people saying that the video of kate marsh was just her kissing boys, the ball thrown at her head in the first five minutes of the game when you go to look at what it says, says "dear kate, we love your porn video xoxo blackwell academy"

So no, she was doing a little more than just kissing.

Also the Everyday photo's contest? the image says october 9 deadline and then 11th is when it takes place. However, the text when you read the poster now says october 15th deadline, and october 20th is the day when it's flown out

:tinfoil:

I bought it on the 360 because easy cheeves and I want them to make more money, so I'm replaying it, but this screen tearing, jesus christ wtf. The game isn't really intensive, not sure why they couldn't put vsync on this or double buffering

I like how someone stole a dude's tablet, and then turned around and tried to sell the same tablet for $600 calling it a "laptop"

Another thing: Rachel amber has supposedly been missing 5~ months or so. "rachel amber is a bitch" on the door of the stall, was likely written before she disappeared, presumably by a female. Has it really been on the outside bathroom wall for that long? who would write it recently, what would that gain if the person they're writing it about won't see it? Wasn't rachel amber well liked?

Would nathan have written it? Unlikely, as he seems to like her. Victoria? Maybe...

Like a television
tuned to a dead channel.
Ain't no way the tornado is related to Chloe, things were going to poo poo, and Rachel was still murdered in her quadriplegic universe.
I mean, it is funny how often she can die, but the world going to hell has to be something else.
It's gonna end like Paprika, or more likely Twin Peaks.

Maybe it'll end similar to Quantum Leap and there will never be a last leap home.

Yeah, there's too many hints that the tornado is some really deep-seated apocalyptic temporal poo poo unrelated to the events of Max's life. (The biggest example being the Prescotts' huge rear end bunker, they know what's going to happen) It really feels more and more like Max was chosen to stop all this.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


All the apocalyptic stuff exists in the alt-timeline where Chloe is paralyzed, so we can reasonably conclude that the tornado is probably not directly drawn to her fate. Although maybe if you chose to euthanize Chloe in Episode 4, that would have also saved the town had the timeline been allowed to continue?? Either way, this game presents a multitude of ways to kill your best friend.

I found the true ending guys: Max, after rewinding time multiple times to try and fix things ends up just using the gun from Nathan/Chloe/Frank/whoever to kill Mr. Jefferson. The screen changes and you see a much older Max in a straightjacket retelling the entire story that we just played. The doctor just nods and takes down some notes and comments into a recorder that the patient is not improving. An attendant comes in and holds Max down as the doctor injects her with chemicals while she protests, claiming that she could totally reverse time if they stopped pumping her full of drugs. Fade to black.

I'm really hoping the ending doesn't fix everything. While a resolution is a part of a story I hate when all problems are now okay. [spoilers] I'm worried the ending will be that Rachel and Chloe are alive and good friends. The end. Also my friend believes Max causes the tornado while shes doped up escaping from Jefferson. I could see that happening and that would be decently cool. [/spoilers]

Yeah, pretty much. Had a lot of neat ideas, but Dontnod just don't seem great action game devs. Makes me wonder how much was publisher mandated since stuff like the memory remixing contrasted heavily with the simple platforming and lacklustre combat that made up the majority of the game.

It was a super cool concept attached to gameplay that just screamed publisher input. "Okay, fine, you can have your girl, whatever, but I want Batman punching with Uncharted shooting and Assassin's Creed climbing!"

Like Oregon Trail, and Max has to keep rewinding each time Chloe dies of dysentery.

I guess it depends in part if the power's going to be explored or explained at all in the last episode. The predicted storm and all the anomalies seem supernaturally linked, and the Prescotts seem like they might know what's coming, some people have been guessing Rachel might've had time powers but this is all speculation. If they never explore the origin or purpose of the power and it stays as basically a narrative tool then they might as well take it away at the end of the story, and I think this is quite likely just because they've been playing the story mostly "straight" so far, so that if Max survives the ending it'll turn out she's done whatever the force granting her the power in the first place needed and the power will be taken back.

The finale has a lot of potential for cliches and I'm hoping they avoid some of them, so an ending where Max keeps her powers and ditches art school to be a superhero would be rad as heck. Even as some weird bad ending where you can keep your powers if you let the storm destroy Arcadia Bay or something like that, at least you'd have the option.

I'm wondering if the writers are gonna pull any punches when it comes to THE FINAL CHOICE of the game. Is it gonna be Chloe's life vs Arcadia Bay, as guessed? Max's life vs Chloe's? Chloe's life vs all the whales in the world?

I've noticed most posters aren't too hot on Chloe's character. Where do you guys draw the line in the "would trade off for Chloe / would not trade off for Chloe" area? I think I could choose her over Arcadia Bay provided most of the town had been evacuated. It's kind of a lovely town anyway. I would NOT choose her over Pompidou. I might choose her over whales, depending on number and sub-species.

I saw the GB Quick Look after ep 1 came out and thought "this actually looks really cool" but neglected to buy it until just after ep 4 came out. I'm enjoying anticipating ep5 but it was also nice to be able to run straight through the bulk of the game in a couple days.
