I hope a physical release doesn't equate to no chance of there being DLC
So do you think the whale song thing was just a kinda weird thing Nathan listened to to relax, or do you think it was something plot-related that got cut? Or a little of both?

>>122093581
Fuck that. Just boycott it and find the concept art online. They don't deserve extra money.
>>122093908
I don't get it. The numbers were at like 70+% kissed Warren. Why are Warrenkeks happy that it's down by over 20%?
>>122093817
DLC seems EXTREMELY unlikely given what they've told us about how much of a pain it was to even create the main episodes in an episodic format. Even IF they planned on doing it, and had already spent the last few weeks (months?) sorting out contracts with all the required people/companies, we'd be talking several months before it was ever complete anyway.

> I will be printing and mailing this petition within a few days. After that, it's up to the devs to reach back. There won't be any updates from here on unless we hit 7500+ supporters or if Dontnod gets back to me. Once they give me a reply, I will definitely update you all.

What would a DLC even entail? They aren't ever going to rewrite / extend the endings as that would be a direct admission of failure on their part, which they clearly will never do. I can't see anything else that would make people be interested in a DLC unless it's like a completely self-contained mini-story set before ep 5. But even then it'd always feel unsatisfying and pointless knowing how everything is going to end anyways.

>>122093982
>>122093950
I dunno, just because a lot of stuff probably got cut doesn't necessarily mean this particular thing was going to be anything more.
It might have just been a way to pimp his spirit animal and desire for self improvement, something of background symbolic/character significance.
It was a weird detail though, especially considering the dead whales. Any ideas about what more it might have been?
AnimaGaming did have an interesting point about the Thunderbird and Whale myth though, in which a whale is upsetting the balance of the ocean and causing the local tribe to starve (Prescotts shitting up Arcadia Bay, which has become starved of fish), and so the thunderbird (Tobanga's top totem) kills the whale, causing a great storm in the process.
It seems the myth's origin is a tsunami though, rather than a tornado.
>>122094342
This.
If they create a DLC episode, it'd almost certainly be just a silly little self-contained thing. The suggestions that keep getting thrown around here are something like a story surrounding the day of Dana's halloween party.
What percentage of those who played the main game would actually be interested in a non-canon little thing like this? Most of the fans like us would probably love it, but I'm not sure it would necessarily be financially sustainable (especially given that plenty of people would expect it for free, given that SE/Dontnod were calling the but-all-epsiodes-at-once pack a "season pass".)
So it would be made almost entirely for fan service. The problem is, you'd then have some fraction of the fans complaining that they "should" have used that time to alter Episode 5. "You're spending all this time/money making dumb non-canon stuff when you left the main game complete in an unsatisfactory way?!"
So, it's not even clear that what little market they might have for it would even be happy with it.
But I still think it's a reasonably moot point. The devs have reasonably candid that each episode was a huge task to complete as it was. I can't see them just randomly starting on something new now. It might be something more feasible with a Season 2 if they integrate it into the full design schedule. But for now? Even IF they did, and even IF they started tomorrow, it'd be months and months before we saw it anyway.
>>122094342
All I really want is a satisfying alteration to the Bae ending if we chose to ship Chloe. Having the same exact ending as someone would get if they sided against her on every choice and shipped the c.uck is just ridiculous. You wouldn't comfort your significant other in a time of distress by patting them on the back, and you certainly wouldn't just continue sitting there smiling when they've got an open shoulder to lean on and comfort you.
>>122094342
>unless it's like a completely self-contained mini-story set before ep 5.
This, exactly.
>But even then it'd always feel unsatisfying and pointless knowing how everything is going to end anyways.
But muh journey.
It's win/win, we get to have something of an actual send off for these characters, and Dontnod get to pretend we're okay with their misinterpretation of what enjoying the journey means.
>>122094869
I hope you mean that they'll get romatic AFTER they've left the town filled with the corpses of people they allowed to die. Having a kiss at that point in time would have been pretty fucking insulting.
>>122095097
They don't need to kiss to show that their relationship has taken on a romantic dynamic. Anon is just saying that romantic partners comfort each other differently than friends, and that difference should have been reflected in their body language.
>>122094869
To be fair, I don't actually liked the fact that you had to side with Chloe on everything just to get the kiss in the bay ending either. It doesn't make much sense that Chloe would react any differently towards Max in the bae ending, just because Max disagreed with her a couple of times beforehand on usually very unimportant shit.
Caring about a person doesn't mean you blindly agree to anything they say or do. The kiss scene in episode 3 should have been the only choice to have an effect on a romantic or friendship ending.
>>122095097
Where did I say they needed to get romantic? Obviously a kiss would be out of place there, but holding Max's hand or pulling her over to lean on her shoulder would have been a much more comforting to her significant other than just giving her a pat on the back while she sits there feeling responsible for the deaths of numerous people.

>>122093982
>I think something got cut out :/ Those emails from his father were weird and they were building it up ...
See, the more we discuss all this, the more convinced I am that they didn't cut anything significant out of the Prescott's story arc.
Look back at everything in Episode 4 from Sean Prescott. There's maybe, what, two or three references to Nathan's future, the town, etc? All done passively through the player having to read emails/letters? It was hardly thrust to the forefront.
I think it was just a poorly executed red herring. It seems likely they were just talking about Nathan's position in the Prescott's company after he left high school. His destiny is to follow in his father's footsteps running the company, growing the Prescott dynasty. The town's "enema" is Pan Estates, which everyone in town was complaining about for various reasons (ruining house prices, altering the landscape, etc). It just strengthens the Prescott's hold over the town's real estate. It's totally unsatisfying that they chose language to deliberately bait fan theories, rather than something that more appropriately suited what was actually being said ... but everything makes sense with the above in mind regardless. There are no loose threads here, they're just tied up in a disappointing way.
The only thing that's really still an unknown is Nathan's recorded lines about the storm. But as we've established in previous threads, there is no way to know whether these were just supposed to be evocative for-trailer-only lines or not. It wouldn't be the first example of such lines; and nobody (that I saw) was able to find the corresponding script that actually gave any context to the lines anyway. They seem to just be random lines. Do we even know that they weren't intended for some scrapped nightmare-like sequence?
At the end of the day, most of these "cut content" discussions are based almost entirely on assumptions. A little frustrating.

>>122095717
I did that a few months ago.
I forgot that the song starts suddenly with drums. Every morning, rather than getting lovingly woken up by cute hipster soundtrack, my phone just suddenly started DRUMSDRUMSDRUMSDRUMS next to my head.
It's not a super fun way to be woken up.
>>122095901

You can't keep refusing reality like that. We know for a fact the hipster girl wakes up to Something Good. Have that as the song on your alarm clock and every morning, it will be like you just woke up after spending a long night balls deep in Max.

>Look back at everything in Episode 4 from Sean Prescott. There's maybe, what, two or three references to Nathan's future, the town, etc? All done passively through the player having to read emails/letters? It was hardly thrust to the forefront.
Compare that to the hints that Jefferson was a bad guy, and yeah, it IS pretty thrust into the forefront.
And it wasn't just emails to Nathan, it was Max asking everyone about him at the party, it was Nathan and Wells talking the Prescotts up in episode 1, the build up about the Prescotts being intimidating enemies against Kate/Max in episode 2, about them ruining the town in episode 2 & 3, Sean pressuring Max and the Principal in episode 2 & 3.
>But as we've established in previous threads, there is no way to know whether these were just supposed to be evocative for-trailer-only lines or not.
What? They were in the game files.
They're no more random or without context than any of Nathan's other lines in that scene, he just either yells about the storm when skulking away or yells about his dad instead.
>>122095887

>>122094854
I think you underestimate how many people would be all for it -- a happy, fun, and comfy dlc with humor, sweet moments, and maybe a bit of emotion here and there to serve as one last visit to Arcadia Bay. Borderlands' best received DLC - or at least one of the best received - was the Tiny Tina DLC, as well as another fun one that was not related to the story (unless it's the same one). People love that sort of thing, and it's already been shown that LiS's fanbase is particularly...passionate, in more ways than one. I'd pay a good amount for that type of dlc.
>>122096407
I want her to thrist for me that way.
>>122096407
All my money for a VortexMax DLC where we get to chill with the Vortex Club, kek Vic, dodge Alyssa's projectilesand ignore pathetic lonely texts from CrippleChloe.
>>122096459
It's hilarious how all the stupidest theorised endings people suggested that I would stay up until 2am angrily arguing over all sound really good compared to what we got in the end.
>>122095693
Why do you care about World Stats? All Youtubers are retarded anyway.And our choices even didn't matter in the endings (especially Bay ending) .So Dontnod isn't Telltale i mean our choices(!) won't affect Season 2 and we know that Episode 5 was Chloe and Max's story end.They're not gonna return in Season 2. So fuck world stats and enjoy.
>>122096407
Why was AU Victoria so different compared to regular one? Nothing that Max changed by preventing Willianm's death should have changed her personality this drastically. All it did was make Max more extroverted and outgoing, but she's still only been at Blackwell for like a month. Victoria and Nathan should have been completely unchanged by this.
>>122096472
>implying Vic's tapped that
How do you think she got into the vortex club? They definitely banged.
>>122096747
We're just seeing Vic from a friendly POV, she's probably still a total cunt to anyone she finds threatening. Just now Max is on the inside.
Taylor in the main timeline talks about how Vic is secretly a great friend. She just doesn't show it to outsiders.
Halfway through my second run of the game, the one where I was going to waifu Chloe as hard as possible. Still can't do it. Can't bring myself to like Chloe. How do you guys do it?
>>122096840
>Vic is secretly a great friend. She just doesn't show it to outsiders.
This! If Victoria and our Max were friends I bet she would act this way with her.
>>122095887
Let me fix this:

>Rewind time to change(!) the course events.But lesson is: You shouldn't use ur power because fuck the logic.
>Multiple cliché endings depending on your imaginations :)
>Shitty,ass-painted visuals
>Distinct,licensed indie soundtracks to make you cry like a bitch.
>>122096906
It was love at very first sight to me. I understand if you can't do it though, she's not everyone's favorite character out there.
>>122096906
because you have a shit taste
>>122096942
>>122096840
But main timeline Victoria treats Taylor and Courtney like her servants, even if they are her friends and secretly she is supportive of them. Why does Max get special treatment from her if she only knew her for like a month and all that changed is Max's personality?
Guys it's confirmed right? I mean, Chloe and Max won't return in Season 2 ?
>>122096906
Don't try. She isn't exactly the most likeable character, unless you can explicitly relate to her issues and/or she reminds you of somebody who you know and like in real life.

I'm not sure the two are directly comparable. One was supposed to be a "secret" reveal, the other was something that has been simmering in the background since the start of the game in relation to Nathan.
>And it wasn't just emails to Nathan ...
I was speaking about the specific references to Sean Prescott and his plans for the town/Nathan, which are mostly limited to the Ep4 letters. This is the stuff most people are concerned with.
"The Prescott's" have been mentioned in the game continuously since the start. But it's never really been much more than "this family is rich and powerful, and they're dicks". It's mostly been about showing why Nathan has so much power in the community. None of this really directly implied anything larger than what we got in the end game. People talk about the Prescott's ruining the town, but even at the time it was clear this was in reference to Pan Estates, and so on.
It wasn't until Ep4 with the above letters that things were pushed over the edge. If they hadn't been included, or if the language had been more appropriate, I don't think anyone would be complaining about "loose ends" AS much. Similarly to how the Vortex Club was implied to have some larger importance in the early game, but it turned out it was entirely unrelated - nobody really cares about that anymore.
>What? They were in the game files.
As were a thousand and one other lines. At the end of the day, they were cut. We don't know why they were recorded. The least-implications version was used only in the trailer. Until we get a clear explanation of what these lines were supposed to mean, I think we're just shit out of luck. All the other Prescott's stuff makes sense, even if the resolution was disappointing. This stuff is the only open question.
>>122097209
But everyone should be able to relate, or at the very least understand the reason for her issues, unless you suffer from severe autism.
>>122096906
Don't force it. I like Chloe, but I liked her way, way less when I was doing a pro-Chloe run. Being fawned over by someone for going against your values just to please them does not feel good.
It's a shame, because episode 3 kinda sucks dick if you're not in a pro-Chloe run. It just doesn't fucking work trying to create this intimate moment when you pepper in "hurr, muh weed," "boo, no murder," "baw, cripple money," bullshit everywhere just to pretend your choices are making a difference to the story.
You know what Dontnod, my choices ARE making a difference to the story here here. They're making the story not work. They're making this premise not flow anymore. They're making it make no sense for these girls to be supposedly connecting when one of them keeps fucking sniping at the other for dumb bullshit every chance she gets.
Maybe instead of just parroting back information I already know to give the illusion that my choices are having an impact, you can actually let my choices have an impact. On anything. Anything at all.Anything that's not a fucking jacket because we saw how that turned out. Maybe there's a reason we got so weirdly excited about that.

>But main timeline Victoria treats Taylor and Courtney like her servants
Only in a couple of scenes Max witnesses. They maintain she's a good friend in private.
She's being a good friend to Max while they're sitting among friends in the grass, who's to say she doesn't also have her shitty moments? We see criminally little of this timeline.
But in any case, it may be that Max has too much backbone in this timeline to take Vic's crap, and Vic had to give up. And despite being friends, she probably finds Max even more formidable in this timeline with her extra confidence - this Max probably can't be kept down with some bitching, so Vic has to kiss up and stay on her good side instead.
>>122097586
Probably not. I mean, only people who were affected by Max's choices were Max and Chloe (in the bae ending). If they don't appear, nothing you did matters.
>>122097586
They didn't even matter in season 1, why the fuck would they matter in season 2?
>>122097673
so they're not gonna appear then. maybe they would make some easter eggs about them. just like Rockstar games.
>>122097764
hahah you're right. i just said that it's a stupid question
>>122096502
I dunno, the two games are just very different beasts, made by two very different studios. It's hard to work out how to best compare them.
My problem wasn't so much that the story would be unrelated - it's that it would almost certainly be totally non-canon. Probably a pointless distinction ... but I can't imagine they'd do it without including Chloe. So it can't take place BEFORE Ep1, and it can't take place AFTER Ep5 ... without it being JUST Max and Chloe travelling (which is waaaaay unrealistic given the number of new locations they'd need to build) following the Bae ending; or a Chloe-less episode at Blackwell following the Bay ending. I'm sure people would complain regardless of which one was chosen, especially given that the bae/bay choice was split pretty evenly down the middle.
So I imagine - and it seems most people describing what they want are describing the same - it would be a post-Ep5 episode where everyone (including Chloe) is still alive, and little/no reference is made to the events of the main game.
Hell, I'd play it. I'm all for it! But so much about it just seems unrealistic, even if we assumed there would be a genuine market for it. Maybe I'm just a pessimist?
>>122097447
>It's a shame, because episode 3 kinda sucks dick if you're not in a pro-Chloe run
I honestly have no clue how people like you perceived this game so completely differently from me. I only made choices I thought were right, I never tried to shoot Frank, I talked Chloe out of taking the disability fund, I even sided with David etc, but never did I feel that it actually counted as an "anti-Chloe" run or some shit like that.
Her relationship with Max was just as strong as on any "pro-Chloe" run and she never says anything like "boo, no murder," "baw, cripple money". You are flat ouf lying here. When you decide not to pull the trigger on Frank, she makes one sarcastic remark and then follows it up by saying she's actually glad it worked out that way and Max responds with "You don't need a gun, you have me now". If you talk her out of taking the money, she immediately says that you are right, again.
>>122097957
>one sarcastic remark
And then guilt trips you for letting Frank take the gun.
Say whatever you want, but Chloe is snapping at you pretty much every time you not support her (with the exception of the cripple fund, probably, but that was a minor choice).
>>122097764
Fucking this
>>122097957
She brings it up again in texts, and in episode 4 when talking about having no gun to confront Frank with, etc. This kind of determinant dialogue comes up a good few times, whatever the choice it relates to.
>You are flat ouf lying here.
>she makes one sarcastic remark
That's called exaggerating.

I saw it as banter between best friends. "Hey, if Frank is gonna put a bullet in my head because I don't have his money, at least let me have some fun" I suppose in your mind, she totally guilt-tripped Max to go to the pool with that line.

This isn't how I banter with my best friends.
>>122098145
Even though she doesn't snap at you for the cripple fund, it's jarring to go from Max chastising Chloe for suggesting something irresponsible, to Chloe immediately suggesting something else irresponsible and Max canonically going along with it.
Both in terms of Max going along with it, and Chloe feeling close enough to her to suggest it without fear of being shot down.
Almost feels like maybe the pool scene just should have been skipped or something for people who played Max as a stick in the mud up to that point, if there was no budget for proper scene variation. Either have Max decide automatically based on a point system, or just give players the option and make that yet another point for/against the lesbian tally. Hell, choosing to go to the pool works better as a bonding moment with Chloe than choosing whether to shoot some guy.
>>122098482
>urgh, I bet this'll be some strawmanny sarcastic anti-Chloe shit, wtf is this gonna- hellooooo...
Oh anon, how did you know?!
>>122097652
I think the relationship goes like this:
Victoria is Queen Bee. Shit travels down, so she gives the others a bit of a hard time. But she seems to be genuinely good friends with Taylor, and the devs have confirmed that they wanted to imply a greater friendship between the two than you might just superficially realise (with the stuff about Taylor's mother).
Courtney has much less of a friendship with Victoria, she's just trying to climb the ladder. Keep in mind that we only ever see her with Victoria twice in the main timeline, and once is a ~5-10s moment at the start of Ep2 where Victoria is bullying her into doing her homework. It seems that Courtney mostly just hangs out with Vic for status. We see that she's a total bitch to people with a lower status than her at the Vortex Club party; and in the alternate timeline where social status is mixed up, she's much higher rank, talking back at everyone.

To be fair, one of those irresponsible things is potentially harmful for other people. Another one is only harmful for two girls dumb enough to light up the pool in the middle of the night and hope that nobody notices it.

I agree. It's a shame Courtney and Taylor didn't get a little more screen time, I found their dynamic pretty interesting.
>tfw we'll never score that double makeover
>>122097957
This.
I kind of like how they dealt with these "anti-Chloe" decisions. Because in pretty much every case that I can recall, Chloe later tells you that she thinks you made the right call. So Chloe's friendship with Max might get a few short-term boosts if you choose shitty-but-superficially-pro-Chloe options, but it felt to me as though their long-term relationship was being strengthened by Max making the more moral decisions that Chloe comes to respect.

Not only that, but the way she says it's adding up, as if Max is obligated to be extra nice to her to make up for other crap in Chloe's life that Max had no control over. That's kinda fucked up, desu.
>>122099109
I have to agree.
>>122099336
Yes and let's also ignore that it's literally the second day Chloe had reconnected with Max after 5 years, in which she felt Max had abandoned her.
>>122099063
>Because in pretty much every case that I can recall, Chloe later tells you that she thinks you made the right call.
And yet it adds up to no kiss at the end, which makes no sense.
I really don't see how choosing whether to enable or challenge Chloe should have anything to do with their relationship being romantic or platonic. It's like, the game kinda rewards you for challenging her by suggesting long-term benefits, but then finishes up by suggesting you just don't love Chloe as much.
Just a little tangent, because farbeit from me to suggest anything in episode 5 should be used to judge content from episodes 1-4.
>>122095887
>>122099512
They do this shit for everything other character as well though. Alyssa, Kate and Vic all have their own checklists of completely irrelevant shit that Max did or didn't do. Like, somehow because you decided to take a photo of David harrassing Kate as evidence, that means Kate believes you don't care about her.

I'll totally buy the Kate one though. Her whole problem is she's been made a spectacle. In her shoes, I'd be absolutely livid if someone took a creepy photo of me in a compromising position, regardless of the reason.
The Vic thing with the paint kind of pisses me off though. It kind of makes sense from Vic's POV - Max is either just as much of an opportunistic bitch (if you made fun of her) or is a phoney (if you comforted her but then admit at the party that you set up the paint can).
But on Max's side of things, the only way to seemingly make peace with Victoria is for Max to actually be a complete fucking phoney. An even bigger phoney than Vic takes her for.
She's obligated to splatter Victoria with paint, then obligated to lie about it. Then two seconds after they seemingly make peace, Max is bitching about Victoria's blackmail attempt even though she saw with her own eyes that it failed, what the fuck Max?
And even with you're on good terms with Vic, that scene in the classroom of Max chastising her for things she hasn't even done yet feels bitchy - especially considering the last time Max saw Vic, she was crying on the floor that she doesn't want to die but probably deserves it, and then fucking dies. And the first thing Max does upon seeing her again is nag her while she's totally fucking confused. Wow.
>>122096274
"Weeeaahhhh my waifus are being sexualized." Grow up
>>122099512
>And yet it adds up to no kiss at the end, which makes no sense.
I feel like it's the difference between short term and long term.
If Max goes along for the week and does everything she can to placate Chloe - even if they're things they both ultimately think are unethical - I could see Chloe getting a real instant gratification boost in her affections with Max. Chloe is a totally impulsive person, so it makes sense for her to be impulsive with her friendship if Max seemingly spends the whole week tripping over herself to do everything Chloe wants her to.
But that's not how a sustainable friendship really works. Like I said, Chloe admits that Max makes the right decisions if she chooses to not shoot Frank, not steal the money, and so forth. I feel like this would add up with Chloe having more respect for Max and her friendship by the end of the week (especially after they continued to stand by each other, despite these choices) ... but she wouldn't necessarily have the same instant gratification dopamine boosts that she otherwise would have gotten.
So I can sorta see the former leading Chloe to having a higher overall - perhaps superficial - affection for Max at the time of the end decision. Maybe it WAS just implemented poorly? But I still read Chloe's later acceptance of Max's non-Chloe decisions as being more positive for their overall friendship.

>But on Max's side of things, the only way to seemingly make peace with Victoria is for Max to actually be a complete fucking phoney. An even bigger phoney than Vic takes her for.
I'm not so sure I read it this way.
Especially if you read Max's early journal entries, at the start of the game, Max just thinks Victoria is a totally superficial mean-girls bitch. She's just a dick. She doesn't really have any interest in being friends with her or anything. I read the "comfort" decision during the paint incident as more of Max being her passive, non-confrontational self ... and maybe partly feeling ashamed for splattering her with the paint in the first place. If you choose this option, Max says something like "I feel like I just got played, maybe I should rewind", indicating that she doesn't think Victoria's reaction was genuine either. Despite the fact that, in retrospect, it seems like it probably was.
It's not until you get deeper into the game that Max learns about the more sensitive side of Victoria. She's outwardly a bitch, but she's just as insecure as Max on the inside. She cares more about the other students than we thought, even if she shows it horribly. She receives her fair share of bullying too. She genuinely cares about Nathan's problems, far more than anyone else in the game. And so on. She has her silly fun side that she tries to keep hidden - her selfies, her action figure, etc.
It's not until Max sees this side of Victoria (and Victoria's friends) that she starts to drop the "Queen Bitch" type references. By the end of the party scene, it seems like she has some genuine affection for Victoria, even if it all came about through some initial phoniness.
Victoria was doing some shitty things to Kate. So I think the chewing out Max gives her in the focus scene makes sense. Victoria probably respects that more than, what she perceives to be, Max's faux-shyness. Max is stressed here anyway, so I think we can give her some leeway.
>>122101129

The problem is, Max opens the dialogue by throwing 'go fuck your selfie' in Vic's face, and closes the scene moaning about Vic's blackmail attempt. There's nothing to suggest her opinion has actually changed. Even in episode 1, if you 'look' at Vic when she's covered in paint, Max comments that she seems just as lost and vulnerable as anyone else. Her opinion doesn't really change much throughout the game.
It's the same thing with Nathan too - in their very first conversation, Max urges him to 'talk to someone' like she understands he needs help, and most references to him throughout the game are a wishy washy "he's a psycho, but he needs help," to a point where it's like... did Max even learn a fucking thing? What was the point of all this?
And people have pointed out how she's still quite romantically obsessed with Chloe by the end even if you don't pursue a romantic rout.
As far as her opinions go, she's just a fence sitter from start to finish, no matter how you even play her.

She clearly obsessed with her and blue hair.In whole episodes she's like ''CHLOECHLOECHLOE'' also nightmare sequences implying that.
And even if you didn't do Pro-Chloe choices and just kissed Chloe in Episode 3 Max's realizes that she's clearly into her.

http://strawpoll.me/5987949
>>122101809
>The problem is, Max opens the dialogue by throwing 'go fuck your selfie' in Vic's face ...
Is this such a problem though? Max is totally stressed in this scene, she's caught between trying to find Chloe so she won't do something stupid and dangerous, and wanting to warn Victoria about Nathan. She's there to pass on a message, she starts the conversation by telling Victoria to cut the bullshit and listen. The conversation evolves into talking about Victoria's motivations for being a bitch (she says something like "I know what this business is like, I need to be cut throat"), which is what Max is referring to RE the blackmail attempt. If Vic is on Max's side at this point, she agrees with Max on all of this and they seem to have some genuine affection for each other. I don't think it's fair to argue that Max's opinion has changed about Victoria - even if she still thinks Victoria is a bit of a bitch, it's undeniable that she thinks there is a sweeter side to her that she doesn't openly show to the world. Heck, even Kate isn't terribly anti-Victoria in the hospital scene, despite being the main reason she is in the hospital to begin with.
>Even in episode 1, if you 'look' at Vic when she's covered in paint, Max comments that she seems just as lost and vulnerable as anyone else.
Which is seemingly the first indication that Max gets. But like I said, even if you comfort her, Max makes the internal remark that she feels like she was still played by Victoria in that scene.
>As far as her opinions go, she's just a fence sitter from start to finish, no matter how you even play her.

I'm talking about after their conversation, when Vic's announced as the winner and Max acts like she only won because she blackmailed Jefferson.
Stressed? She's not too stressed to make Chloe wait around for her to hear them announce the winner of a contest that Max didn't even enter, then complain about the results as if Chloe gives a shit.

If so I want one.

good night anon, sleep well
Man, why do so many people relate to Kate?
...Is it because you're all virgins?
For real though, wouldn't have thought.
So will the Amazon version that came up a while ago be identical to the Limited Edition in the Square Enix store?

Kate is pretty relatable for people with depression/anxiety or childhood traumas.

>I'm talking about after their conversation, when Vic's announced as the winner and Max acts like she only won because she blackmailed Jefferson.
But from Max's perspective, this is still what might have happened. Even if she has some new affection towards Victoria, she DID see her trying to blackmail Jefferson earlier in the week. Their conversation moments ago included Victoria telling Max how she feels like she needs to act cut-throat to get ahead in the world of photography. It's totally understandable for her to have some doubts about how she won, even if she had previously complemented Victoria's entry herself.
>Stressed? She's not too stressed to make Chloe wait around for her to hear them announce the winner of a contest ...
Because she had caught up to Chloe at this point. She was stressed because Chloe had run off ahead of her into the party with a gun and was planning on using it to kill Nathan ... publicly, if needed. The winner of the contest is announced AFTER Max catches up with her to find that she hasn't done anything stupid.
At at the end of the day, I think we can cut them a little bit of slack for including a shot scene that plays a role in the plot later on, but might not have been at the TOP of the girl's priority list at that exact moment.

She's just so cute.

IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE WE'RE NOT BUYING IT
RIGHT, ANON?
RIGHT?

>Max chastising her for things she hasn't even done yet feels bitchy - especially considering the last time Max saw Vic, she was crying on the floor that she doesn't want to die but probably deserves it, and then fucking dies. And the first thing Max does upon seeing her again is nag her while she's totally fucking confused.
WHO JUST VOTED THAT HE PLANS TO BUY

Already pre-ordered it on Amazon, that's why I'm asking. If the amazon version will just be the regular game without the fancy stuff, I'll cancel it and order a limited edition one.
REMINDER THAT LITERALLY ANYTHING NEW THAT THE LE CAN OFFER WILL BE ON THE INTERNET WITHIN HOURS
YOU DON'T NEED TO DO THIS, GUYS
>>122101809
Brilliant, I'm glad people are finally starting to realize Max has her own opinions and isn't your shitty self-insert.
>giving dontnod money after episode 5

CANCEL IT ANYWAY

Fuck off man. I'm an employed adult with a steady income. I can decide how to spend my fucking cash however I want.
>>122104462
Having her own opinions does not demand her opinions remain static and uncommitted. The fact that she's forced on the fence from start to finish is what makes her mistakable for a self insert.
And the entire premise of the game is on the outcome of this week supposedly deciding what kind of adult Max becomesin our imagination :). Expecting there to be some variation by the end of it, within the scope of her personality, is not the same as expecting her to be a completely customisable blank slate.

I CAN'T EVEN SPEAK TO YOU WHEN YOU'RE LIKE THIS, GO TO YOUR ROOM MISTER
What if we buy the Limited Edition and play it and they surprise us with the story being actually updated and now features the Prescott storyline aka the ending as was supposed to be

>The fact that she's forced on the fence from start to finish is what makes her mistakable for a self insert.
But this simply isn't true. You've missed an awful lot of character development if you think Max ends the game where she started in this respect.
