There's a set phrase in my contry which more or less says "it is wise to rectify."
Well, I try to learn something every single day and become a little wiser one step at a time, so I think it's only reasonable for me to rectify the post I quoted.
I don't like freeroams in general. With some exceptions, that is and will always be true.
However, I must admit that I rushed to judge the current version of the game based on a previous buggier version and on the first impressions I got from the first freeroam in this chapter.
I would prefer it if more development time were devoted to the story and the renders rather than to making those freeroams, but I must admit that after replaying the game from the start the sandbox part of this game was neither as extensive nor as bad as I implied in my previous message.
This game is already an A+ game. It's on my top 10 in the genre (probably closer to the 7-8), and if the story continues developing in a logical way it will make it into the top 5 easy.
Now, 3 complaints:
- Please, the dev should make an official walkthrough. I think it would be positive both for the players and for the future of the game itself. The sandbox is quite straightforward, but some variables are not and it will be a shame if people keep missing some content that IS there for them to enjoy. Not to mention what would happen in months time if it turns out that a path we thought was going one way ends up leading to a much different result.
- Vicky needs to be taken more seriously! Really, how is she not at least among the 8 main LI's??
- And 3, Adam's plan to leave Jenny without a penny (no rhyme intended) makes no sense to me.
I don't know anything about American inheritance law. I don't even know if it's regulated by the federal government or at state level, in this case New Hampshire. Maybe according to American laws a father has the right to leave a child completely out of his last will, that's not allowed in my country but maybe it is in America.
Let's assume that's the case and Jenny will not inherit a single dollar from her dad because he modified his will, his whole company and the academy going to Adam. What the fuck does that have to do with Jenny's house and businesses (e.g. the restaurant)? If she received money from her father while he was alive, she must have paid taxes and it became HER money. She invested it in a house and a business, so those are HER house and HER business. She's the only one in charge of them. Why the hell should Adam have any influence on the things she already owns?
The funny fact is that such a plan was not necessary at all for the dramatic effect the dev was seeking. Indeed, if Jenny ends up out of the academy, she will no longer be able to help the girls living in her house or the MC. There's no need to leave her homeless and penniless, she would still need to face Adam in order to continue with her special programme, which is the driving force in this game.
