I have to say having only just tried this game that that I am really enjoying the story if not the MC.
Don't get me wrong he's not an asshole or anything and as a true Pokemon style player that normally has to catch them all.
I started the game the way I normally would and chased every Girl and Woman it would let me.
I love the way the MC talks to and deals with most of the girls on my Knight/Talker playthrough.
But then when each one starts to talk about knowing about each other and the MC's response to that for some reason makes me feel for want of a better word a bit of a Douche like I'm just playing them.
Don't ask me why it's just a feeling it gives me and I can't explain it.
I not complaining about the game for the most part I'm still loveing it.
But it was enough that even though I was at Episode 7 with all the girls upto then and working on the others.
I stopped my playthrough and restarted but this time only going after 1 girl each game.
This brings me to my second minor issue one of the things that made me think differently about my catch um all game.
And slightly put me off the MC was his interactions with Vanessa.
First he accuses her of having an attitude but then shows nothing but attitude when dealing with her himself.
(pot calling the kettle black springs to mind)
He says he do's but really he wont take helping her seriously and is always questioning her even though he's supposed to be her assistant and assisting her which he willingly agreed to do I might add.
Then despite being asked/told not to he seems to deliberately dress down even if its to attend formal meetings with her.
If I was on the Player route I might be ok with that even though I think he's still being disrespectful to her for no real reason.
But then again If it was actually a proper job he wouldn't even of lasted the first day.
Only I'm not I'm playing Knight/Talker with no player points at all.
And yet its feels for the most part like I'm playing full on Player when I'm with her.
His conversations with her and the people she has to deals with scream at best Player at worst dickhead.
Confidence is one thing but most of the time his level of confidence that he shows when with her.
Comes across as more the type of guy when he turns up everyone says.
"
Oh for gods sake which one of you other morons was stupid enough to fucking invited him".
Closest he gets to normal is when she invites him to share her condolences for the coffee shop fire.
And even then he go's into player mode with his flirt lines I know they supposed to be some what juvenile cheeky funny.
But they just came across as dickhead cringe to me.
Now don't get me wrong I will just have to cringe my way through the Vanessa scenes and avoid Vanessa as a LI.
Because on that route I really can't stand him.
But apart from that I will still enjoy the game and as I'm now doing Erika still have another 3 and side girls to play yet.
BTW Loveing the PG stuff.
Couple of quick question Why didn't MC tell Vanessa about the earlier pictures he could of had her post to the Maniac page they would of got more followers as well?.
And last question
How delusional is he I've seen the Sweeny and Dirty Harry ask subtler questions than him.
Just Sayin.
