I generally went for the nice options (made friends with the cheerleader) but yeah gently caress Victoria to hell and back. The ending seemed to hint at something like Mr Jefferson takes pictures of girls and then kills them or whatever. But that seems too pedestrian to go along with the whole "oh poo poo Donnie Darko world ending" stuff at the end so I dunno. I'm also a little worried about the time where you can get information then just rewind so you don't leave evidence but you get to keep the info. I'd like "fail runs" to be as fleshed out as the others. So what happens in the parking lot if you don't blab to the principal?

I didn't blab, and the only thing that happened in the parking lot was preppy neurotic kid threatened me and then beat up Warren I guess the same thing happens either way, but what reason does he give for threatening you in that case?

The music is great too. Pleasantly surprised at the Sparkle Horse song. Liked the pop culture references (Warren has good taste). Nice touch that Chloe getting high was shown as a pretty normal thing since this is 2015 and you can buy weed legally in half the country. I wonder if the Spirits Within line was a joke or not.

I do have the feeling, since twists are "in" these days, that the rear end in a top hat security guard will turn out to be totally right. Also I dunno if everyone realized this but the "kids don't talk like that" lines come from the game being written by Frenchies and I guess not being properly proofread by a Real American. You'd have to be literally like 60 to be an American and write some of those lines. Well not really, but you wouldn't capture the indie aesthetic with the music and the personalities but then randomly gently caress up by having some girl say "hella" way too much. Also what kind of elite American school lets a hobo in an RV sit in their parking lot all day?

SkeletonHero posted:Is there a way to interact with the guy in the RV? Max wouldn't walk past his guard dog, and then in the ending sequence he had his own scene like I was supposed to know who he was. Nah, that scene was basically just a big "you thought that was a throwaway moment" teaser. I'm going to do a separate run where I don't write on his window.  I wonder how genuine they're being with the "that will have consequences" prompts, like erasing the insult on Kate's board or letting that guy put your sketch online.

exquisite tea posted:Hadn't even heard about this game until today, now I'll definitely keep it on my radar for when more episodes are released. I loved Gone Home and Mass Effect and the first season of TWD, so this kind of seems right up my alley. I also enjoy any video games about totally mundane stuff. It's basically My So-Called Donnie Peaks, you'll like it. Also is "kek" really a thing anyone types? Oh great, it's a WoW reference. I like the game 1% less for knowing that.

Yeah the only one I missed was the skater picture somehow. I was disappointed there didn't seem to be any information to see from piloting the drone. I must have let it circle around three times looking for an Easter egg of some sort.

Artix posted:Finished the first episode, really liked it! I missed the squirrel and the skateboard photo, but I'll probably go hunt those down at some point before the next episode comes out. I definitely agree with the Rachel has time travel theory, but I guess we'll have to see how things play out over the next few episodes. Definitely worth the five bucks, and it sold me the season pass so great job Dontnod. I'll honestly be disappointed if that spoiler ends up being true though. I mean, the one thing that makes Max special, and someone else did it first? Hipster time traveler. Seriously though, what if all the members of the Vortex Club have the power???

Mmm yes Max is "friendzoning" Warren, clearly there is no such thing as a girl with low self esteem who doesn't recognize when a guy is into her. Besides the drone pilot girl totally wants to jump Warren's bones anyway, he needs to get on that. "Watched Scott Pilgrim.... for the millionth time". Max has good taste. XD

This is a thread about a video game, but do threads about films only discuss cinematography and acting while totally disregarding plot? Is there no place in a thread about Django Unchained for discussion about race relations? I know I am replying to a low effort and obvious troll, but there are people who legitimately say things like "it's a video game, lol".

RightClickSaveAs posted:Not what I was saying at all, just that there is more to it than that. He's scared about something, and the way he handles it is to double down on the authoritarianism, not being smart enough to know how to handle it another way, or to see that he's doing more harm than good. He even calls her soldier at one point which was funny and probably not the best writing. The subtext though is he thinks he's protecting his family from whatever is going on, that's what the photos and cameras are all about. I basically agree and I think we'll get a much better idea of the writers' intentions when we meet Chloe's mom (which will almost certainly be next episode, and we already saw her in the closing montage). One thing I haven't seen speculated on yet - I think there might be something going on with the guy, I forget his name, who has the "super amazing" portfolio you can look at that's full of Rachel pictures, you see him again in the closing montage right before the hand puts the book named "Rachel" on the shelf next to all the other books with female names on them e: also I wish the game lasted more than a week, I want to go to the Halloween party and the Nightmare Before Christmas midnight screening :\

Gypsum Fantastic posted:Really sorry to ruin the entire game series for everyone but it's basically Donnie Darko in that by visiting the bathroom at the start, after taking the picture of the butterfly by setting of the fire alarm and stopping her friend get shot she triggered a incredibly literal butterfly effect (the concept that something as little a butterfly beating it's wings can cause a massive storm somewhere through chain reaction) and that in the end, Donnie Darko style, Max will realise that the only way she can stop her town from getting destroyed by the huge storm is to turn back time (she will have learned how to do this by greater amounts by now, probably having gone to Arcadia point six months earlier to try and save Rachel) and not do anything to stop Chloe get shot and just let things be. It will be very emotional, the ultimate sacrifice, and we will all have a good cry about it but at the same time be like, wow. I seriously hate that you're probably right.

I mean yeah there's lots of white people in a small town elite school in Oregon. I don't think it's a problem nor do I think it's super noteworthy there's a black principal and teacher or whatever, just saying that guy's list of "things in this game" was wrong on that point is all.

closeted republican posted:Can you ruin Chloe's life in this game? Apparently you have to save her from being killed but I still want to be a giant dick to a whiny and super-angsty Tumblr teenage girl. You can let her get smacked in the face if you're a terrible coward.  It's still bothering me that Max didn't recognize her at the beginning of the game but instantly did when she opened the truck door in the parking lot. Max must have that condition that makes facial recognition hard, because it happens with the security guard too. I clicked on literally four pictures of him before she commented on him being who he is. e: Wait, Chloe isn't really whiny and super-angsty though especially not in the "Tumblr" way? She's pissed with good reason at Max and her step-dad but that's about it.

Most of the characters haven't had time to really develop yet so it's hard to call if anyone else is going to end up being likeable or not. I think Warren has potential.

Compared to episode 1 that was hella short and had too much filler (the whole junkyard bottle hunt). But it still hit some high notes and I get the feeling the next three will be intense. Though it's hard for me to believe we've met every important cast member already (since the character bio page is full). And speaking of that it seems like the people the game has decided are important makes guessing about some spoilers easy.
