Accordion Man posted:I wouldn't mind if living Kate wasn't totally active but there should definitely be a huge tonal difference if she dies and she better play a major role at the end if she lives. I think they can do it though, I mean if Alpha Protocol can do similar things with presumably less dev time and possibly budget, they don't really have an excuse. That was the one thing that bothered me about the little montage of people at the end of episode two. Max's text to Chloe seems kinda upbeat, given that Kate had just died in my playthrough.

I believe next episode is out next week, unless there was a delay.

Episode 2 was released March 24th after being announced March 14th so if we're going to see a May 22nd release date, I'm guessing we'd see the announcement today or tomorrow. I think at this point May 29th is more realistic.

Having the episode be released on May 19th makes me want a Kane cameo. Seriously, though, it looks like poo poo's going to start to get revealed, and I'm hella excited!

Oh cool, a thing happened that was super obviously going to happen the exact second the character was introduced in Episode 1. Also it was like 15 minutes out of a an hour and a half long episode. I will say again, maybe something will actually happen this episode.

Ha ha, hooollllyyyy poo poo. That ending! I guess we dont need to worry about Kate anymore...or any of the other choices we made! NEW TIMELINE WOOSH! I'm really curious where they can go with this now. Up until that ending though, it was a pretty bland episode. I get the feeling it was mostly so they could easily vary up the Did Kate die or not, dialogue which was referenced quite a bit.

Rosalind posted:Max is totally not Rachel you guys despite this happening like 3 times. Hmm... So Rachel realized how she'd ruin everyone's lives with her time travel powers so she traveled back in time to change who she was except everyone still remembers her? Edit: oh wait. I figured it out. You're totally right, Rachel is just an older version or alternate version of Max that puts herself earlier in the timeline to prevent the wheelchair/apocalypse and then removes herself from the timeline before she can meet herself...or something. Doesn't explain why Max doesn't recognize herself in pictures, but she hasn't gone through her rebellious hair dying phase yet Seems odd but curiously on the right path...I wonder how they'll explain it.

woodenchicken posted:Why am I so hype for this. The game definitely made itself feel more like Alpha Protocol by it responding to what you did compared to Telltale's new games where the game barely responds to anything you do. Even if they don't matter now they did it in the best way possible.. Also they already spoiled the game's ending in the boy's locker room. Max is totally going back in time to the 80's to fight Jacket, the true mastermind. Accordion Man fucked around with this message at 10:30 on May 19, 2015 |

I'd been playing a lot of Invisible, Inc., so of course I took the money. It figures that we'd have to evade guards right after, too. overall I enjoyed the episode there was some light puzzling, which I liked, and the dialogue seemed better somehow? Genuinely funny, as opposed to awkward-funny. Looking forward to the next.

I've got a theory with regards to the ending of Episode 3. It's been shown that Max keeps all items she has during time shifts, right? So, I think we're going to undo the timeline shift by using one of the photos from the original timeline. I doubt we're going to proceed the rest of the game with this new timeline.

Genetic Toaster posted:Kinda sorta. Chloe dares you to kiss her. It's up to the player whether or not to. Yeah, but it's a pretty common LGB coming of age trope that stuff like "HA HA WOULDN'T IT BE SO GAY IF WE KISS DUDE? I DARE YOU TO KISS ME! OMG YOU DID YOU'RE SO GAY I AM TOTALLY NOT THOUGH DUDE. SUPER HETERO." happens. Chloe gets so upset about Rachel being in a relationship with Frank. Snuffman posted:Rachel is just an older version or alternate version of Max that puts herself earlier in the timeline to prevent the wheelchair/apocalypse and then removes herself from the timeline before she can meet herself...or something. Doesn't explain why Max doesn't recognize herself in pictures, but she hasn't gone through her rebellious hair dying phase yet Max seems to acquire a new power at the end of each episode. I wonder if one of those powers is somehow going to let her become Rachel or take on an alternate version of herself where she is Rachel? Seriously, every single person commenting WOW YOU'RE JUST LIKE RACHEL all the time to me is some pretty blunt foreshadowing that Max is Rachel somehow. Also on an unrelated note, Chloe ending up in a wheelchair is heavily foreshadowed throughout the story. For instance, her truck is first parked in the handicapped spot at Blackwell. Then she wants to steal from the handicapped fund.
