VN Ren'Py A Man for All [Ep.17] [Venus Waltz]

[Ebet Ebety]

So I did a pretty normal playthrough, not really trying hard to do anything specific, just going with the flow.
All I did was staying away from sluts, bitches, wierdos and grannies, I swear!
Well I've managed not to unlock one single scene. I apparently cannot get laid even in a porn game LOL.

Jokes aside I don't think this game is for me. To me the characters feel just as sketchy as they look.
The girls all look like close relatives with very similar head shape, facial features and body type.
This is a very common theme in this kind of games; probably most people don't mind as much, but to me it makes things awkward; feels like creators can't be bothered to work on the appearence of their characters beyond a routine copy\paste\tweak\retexture and that is a shame.
At least in this case they have unique personalities, which is more that can be said for many other and on the plus side the story is not bad, even though player choices feel kinda hollow, as they all seem to lead to the same result.
All in all there really is little to make this one stand out to me and make me want to come back.
Still I will never give a vote at all if I cannot give a good vote, so I'll just express my opinion in the thread instead of trying to lower the rating of somebody else's work. I'm sure there are many who appreciate it, so best of luck to the devs in any case.

I think its a nice compromise. Dialog choices effect dialog and catching or missing a scene isn't decided by some arbitrary choice like which flavor of ice cream you choose.

It's got a nice flow and I've literally just binged through ep 1-6 for the first time and looking forward to more. In my play-through, I intend to give them all the pipe but especially Kate, because it feels a bit more wrong

You even managed to miss Marissa? (or does she fall into the 'sluts' category? NOOOOOO)

And I do you really think the LI's are too similar? I didn't notice (unlike, for example Once in a lifetime or University of problems)

 

[NewTricks]

Thank goodness that pink/blue/green choices don't matter cause I love the "ugh this again - eye roll" that Vanessa definitely does behind those aviators each time I flirt with her lol. Would have felt terrible if I had to choose something else just to avoid a penalty lol.

Got a question though ( if it has been answered then please refer me the page number ) we see stats for 5 characters but as far as I can count there are about 8 more beautiful women with considerable screen time ( love the stripper, my apologies I forgot her name) are they meant to be sides only or can we have something more with them? I hope I don't take you by surprise but the unlisted beauties enamour me just as well as the 5 listed ones, pity I don't get to track them or know what they think of me lol.

I tend to choose whatever reply sounds the best, but I adore bombing Vanessa with dad jokes and hearing her beleaguered retorts. It would be nice for some of the side girls to get their due, but I can't help but think that the five listed girls are so prominent in the story for a reason.

Yeah, Vanessa is a LI because eventually the MC wears her down. Everyone else she's used to dealing with will give up (out of "courtesy") when they see their behavior has annoyed her. But for the past couple of episodes at least, you can already see her "defenses" eroding. While she hasn't laughed yet, she let the MC do the dance-off and she has been less immediately dismissive as she was at the beginning. Some day she'll actually not sigh when the MC is finished talking.

Great game, like the main characters especially Riley, I trust the ending of ep6 - 15 was a fire bomb setup by the creep Riley works for, the guy Billy turned down - hope we get a chance to teach him a lesson soon - trust also we get to re-build billy's buisness

 

[BGRW2020]

Can the MC have a main LI - Riley but still have the rest as a harem?

We have a pretty good sense of 4 of the five main LIs. Vanessa hides behind her aviators and has shown us very little. Really hard to pick between those four. Each brings something special to the party, and I have a real fondness for Marisa. Unless and until I'm forced to choose, I'll just "court" them all. Someone has to, it might as well be me.

Marissa is just about the most uninteresting character in the whole game to me. Throws herself at MC in a second without a thought (which to me does make her come out as rather slutty), keeps insisting after being stone cold turned down multiple times and even worse proves she cannot make decisions about her own life and career for herself without MC's approval and help... meh, doesn't matter how hot she is, a woman with this little self worth holds no attractiveness to me IRL, let alone in a game.

If the girls don't look similar to you at first glance try looking closely at their high cheekbones, gaunt cheeks, slanted eyes, romboid lips and triangular chins; those are traits shared by all of them. Likeness between different, unrelated game characters is something that bothers me quite a bit, so I tend to notice it immediately, but I understand that people who do not care about it would find it irrelevant or even not realize at all

 

[pixado7875]

Game is great but I kinda wish there was some actual challenge to the fighting subplot

At least don't make the MC a One Punch Man every single fight?

That's not too much to ask right?

I want to ask something is there is a correct option when we have to choose between joker,knight and smooth or it dosent matter?

The option you want to choose is the correct option.

 

[-CookieMonster666-]

I want to ask something is there is a correct option when we have to choose between joker,knight and smooth or it dosent matter?

Unless I'm failing to remember correctly, I believe those really only affect the types of responses you get, more or less (which I think might sometimes flavor later text as well). The choices that are more major generally seem to be the all-white choices, which have things like whether to express your feelings / take a certain action (like sleeping with someone). I'm also not sure to what degree (if at all) the yellow-red attitudinal choices affect anything, but I suspect they are like the knight/joker/smooth-talker options.

Like VenusWaltz said, the "correct" choices are whatever you prefer, of course. But I think the more impactful choices are whether you confess feelings, sleep with someone, etc.

 

[UncleFredo]

The option you want to choose is the correct option.

Based on what you've previously shared your statement is obviously correct, but your meaning is somewhat obscure. Still chuckling.

The structure of your relationships will develop over the course of the game. I can't make any guarantees about something so late in the game. I don't want to promise something and then later have to pull back on it. But I'm considering all aspects of multi-tiered relationship and I'm hoping that I can do it. To answer your question directly, I'm going to try to do something like that. But solo and multi routes take priority in terms of development.

Game is great but I kinda wish there was some actual challenge to the fighting subplot

He'll get an actual challenge when someone presents one.

 

[Cokebaths]

And she's the most boring of all them
Almost felt bad leading her on
Isn't there already enough girls for the MC?
Don't want to miss any of the gallery scenes so it's just a completionist thing with the new girl

Sidenote:
Vanessa is literally the perfect embodiment of this image

I honestly thought she would be the most popular Li. Honestly I find her hilarious and her current personality makes any future romance even more sweet. Also with the less romantic route the "thrill" of chasing a girl like that is exciting. I'm a sucker for a good build up. I do admit that the build was getting a bit stale for a bit, especially because we don't see her as much as everyone else.

I almost completely agree. For me the build-up has been totally fine. I'm happy nothing's happened yet, and I'm looking forward to more attitude as she slowly gets worn down. She's the type of person who, once they commit, will be all-in. That's not to say that other LIs wouldn't be, but I appreciate having the MC chase her that much more.

Entertainment? Which is of course a subjective concept. Maybe I shouldn't say that though, as there seem to be people who do not understand or do not agree.

Some may play this kind of games just for the sex scenes, some for the interesting characters, some for the story, some for other reasons. I would think all of that would come down to personal preference, but I guess I'm wrong
