That last episode was by far the best. It actually makes me excited to finish it in my own playthrough.

They even mention it, but I think it's implied that Nathan confessed to everything, which would mean he told the cops about what Jefferson was doing as well.
Interesting that someone thinks that. I honestly feel it's the weakest, or second weakest. My personal order is 4 > 3 > 2 > 5 = 1.

It is certainly weaker than the first, but I left it kind of happy (with how it turned out, not at the awful shit that went down) in the end.
She would need to rewind time to save Chloe (yeah, yeah, I know), but not to tip off the police.
edit: Ooooh, Nathan confesses? Ok, that makes more sense.

UPF when
3 p.m. PST, so about 40 minutes from now.
At least that's when it's normally on.

Man, Life is Strange is so good.
The photos show Nathan being interrogated by the cops followed by Jefferson being arrested. It's thus implied that he ratted out Jefferson.
You don't get it if you don't kiss her.
Ah OK, thanks guys, that clears that one up I guess.
OK good, becausemnz said:
except for that earlier episode kiss -- if you went for it -- I felt like there wasn't much of that kind of vibe to the whole Max/Chloe relationship. If they'd made it into a mandatory (romantic) love story, I felt that would have cheapened it somewhat. It's more interesting as a story about the love between two reunited friends, I feel.
Not really:
Now that they finished the game they might care less about those two things and are more invested in the Max/Chloe relationship, but that doesn't change what they said.
I'm hoping they talk about it with full spoilers on the Beastcast, and if they felt those open ended arcs mattered for them in the end. Personally I never bought into the whole Max/Chloe thing and was hoping for the larger mystery to be the focus.
I think the endings of Walking Dead season 2 were wildly inconsistent. I lucked out and got the ending that made at least some sense and led to a really emotional moment. The other endings I watched in YouTube were dreadful.

Hmm, I have not seen anything but the one I got.

That's a great point, and I agree with you. However, Jeff using that as a tactic in the debate was lame. In the end, the game stuck the landing and I enjoyed it thoroughly, and that's what matters to me.
What ending did you get?

I'll add Obsidian, for a hypothetical Alpha Protocol 2.
They also said they thought a few characters were too one-dimensional and most of the ones they mentioned had significant story archs afterwards. I still think the comment wasn't fair. But I also think the others should know by now how to feel about such comments from Jeff.

This is touched on briefly in the episode 5 but
Throughout the whole game there is only one Max that has the total knowledge of what happened throughout and that is the Max we play as. We'll call her Time Lord Max, or TLM for short.
When TLM jumps through a photo she "assumes" control of the Max in that timeline but still keeps her own memories. Once she leave the photo timeline the original Max of that timeline takes back over but doesn't have any of the memories or knowledge that TLM had when she was in control. We know this because when Max uses Warren's photo to go back to the party and Warn Chole she asks Chole to tell the Max of that timeline everything she just said to her because she won't remember any of it.
So when Max uses the butterfly photo to go back to the moment Chole was killed she is going back to the time before she even discovered she had time powers. By not using her powers to save Chole, TLM is ensuring that the Max of that timeline never discovers she has them once she leaves. The Max of the Chole dies timeline has no knowledge of any of the stuff that will happen over the course of the week. She doesn't know Mr. Jefferson is the culprit or that he was using Nathan. For the rest of the week until Friday when TLM goes back to the lighthouse before Chole's funeral that Max is just a normal high school girl living a normal life.

Sort of stunned they actually went for it and finished the whole episode. That was nearly 4 hours.

Yep, I figured I'd see this tweet.
Yeah, I prefer that ending but the execution of it is bad.

I can't find a YouTube video of the ending that doesn't have some streamer asshole in the corner.

Thats because they're essentially sacrificing the whole human race so Chloe can remain alive. No sane person would pick that choice.

That's hurtful.
eh
i didnt get the feeling that anything other than arcadia bay was in trouble. I mean they avoided the tornado by standing by a nearby lighthouse... plus things seemed fine in the aftermath. Besides arcadia bay lol

Weird list of top quick looks. Huh.

I noticed how high the view count on Xenoblade's quick look was quite high. Wonder why a fairly obscure game on a badly selling console had so many views. Perhaps, Giant Bomb has more JRPG fans than I realize.
Hi.
Clearly it was Vinny voice RP'ing the random encounter monsters.
Kenny, Celementine, and the baby get to the fortified settlement and the guard agrees to only let Clementine and the baby in. Kenny makes Clementine promise to teach the baby about all the people who sacrificed to see to his survival and walks off into the sunset, alone.
My problem with the "other" ending is not really with its implications or anything, but that it's so brief and feels cheap compared to the one Vinny and crew chose. It's obviously not the correct one.
It's also incredibly binary given Max's powers to shift even the smallest events. Granted, it's a video game, and time travel is always fucked, but still, it rings false unless you played as the most horrible person in the game.

Put it on your top 5.There were people in the GB GOTYs that put MM in their list because Jeff liked it (they also said that they didn't like it themselves).
