It's the MC that makes this a difficult game to play. I really can't get him. He's way too cold, way too abrasive, way too extroverted, way too horny, way too... everything at the same time. I don't know... I can't figure it out.
I agree with this, usually when he's around Vanessa. He just doesn't know when to shut up.
I generally really enjoy the game but there are a few times things have ..... irked me.
The chemistry between MC and Erika is great, same with Harlow and Marisa. Soph it's okay but her screen time is limited so don't see them interact much. Kate I had in friend mode.
As much as I like her as a character I don't think she would give the MC the time of day in any sort of relationship setting. I don't see her wanting to be intimate with someone her sons age. That and despite what the game says, I don't see the MC as mature enough to handle What Kate was offering.
Vanessa I like as a character. I love how she's so deadpan and how she casually dismisses Luke. I have to suspend a LOT of disbelief when it comes to her as a love interest. Their personalities do not gel and you know if that was a real interaction she'd have ghosted him after a few days when she realised he aint shutting his mouth.
I genuinely find some of the attempts at flirting with Riley to a be a bit weird. He's constantly bringing up high school but not in a reminiscant way. More like a "hey, would have banged you in high school, shame you got older".
That vast majority of the game is great but certain things don't work for me personally.
The whole thing with Vanessa, to me, looks like he compensates for lack of game with constant chatter and attempts at jokes.
Like, him and Erika has the same energy. They match pretty well, same with Marisa and Jordan to a lesser degree. I do enjoy his interactions with Harlow, they are adorable together.
The problem is, with the characters that have their shit together, he just seems out of place with them.
Part of that is his severe lack of rizz.
For instance I think Lori is a great character and their scene fit. However the next time he gets chance to flirt with her he's bringing up choke fucking her right next to a guy that's been like a brother to her since they were kids. I don't know about anyone else with sibling here but I don't want to hear someone discussing my sisters sex life.
I know my sister never has sex. People lied and told me she was carrying a child but all I remember is one day she was fat, next day the stork has brought her a child. Also she looked like she'd had a massive shit to lose the giant gut she had earlier that day.
