You only get the happy ending if you didn't make out with Chloe and agreed to go with Warren to the drive-in, since Chloe only dates girls who play hard to get.

Man, I really really hope they don't just rip off Donnie Darko's ending. That trailer isn't filling me with confidence. Donnie Darko was good but I was hoping they'd be more original than that.

They could pull it off in an interesting way. Like Chloe's murder sets off an investigation that dismantles the entire Prescott conspiracy.

The trailers can often be intentionally misleading - rewatch the previews for Episode 4 and see how it paints a totally different picture with the quotes and settings from how events actually shake out. Either way I don't see a self-sustaining causality loop to necessarily be cribbed from Donnie Darko, that's a pretty common occurrence in almost all time travel fiction. Max's power I've always seen as a metaphorical extension of her own character -- indecisive, confused about her identity, often viewing herself as an outside observer without necessarily considering the impact she has upon others. In other words, being a teenager. LiS being a coming of age story, I think the ending will ultimately force Max to confront those aspects of herself and make a permanent, lasting decision. I think she'll break the loop, not maintain it.

yeah also isn't the point of Donnie Darko that there isn't a self loop, but rather some higher power guiding Donnie to fix a distorted problem in the timeline? Donnie doesn't cause the rift in the timeline, he is needed to fix it, thus the universe/god/whatever uses frank to guide him through the events necessary to remedy the rift in the first place.

Donnie Darko is also not the end all be all of time travel tropes and is in no way the original time traveling tale.

Kind of a moot point. Anyone that's going to use those modes has probably already collected everything by now.

In other news this game will be the first game I ever Platinum.

For a moment I briefly considered how awesome it would be if Platinum licensed their next Bayonetta-like in the LiS setting.

At the very least it's a frontrunner for my game of the year. Considering that games like Bloodborne and MGSV came out this year that's pretty amazing. I haven't been this excited to finish a series in a real long time.

I'm secretly hoping that the payoff for saving alyssa in all 5 episodes is that she dies a horribly painful death just to drive home the fact that max loving with everything is bad.

Alyssa eats a bullet that was destined for Max's waifu Chloe, but only if you never warned her.

If anything not letting get his Ape on might be more dangerous, since then Nathan keeps his gun, although I wouldn't be surprised if you have to manipulate Nathan or get him on your side at some point such that having him okay and armed is actually beneficial, just because otherwise taking the opportunity to pound him to a pulp is almost too obvious.

And if the game's actually released in the evening/midnight on Steam that'd be awesome.

The difference is that Chloe goes dual wield on the endboss' final form instead of only having to use one.
