VN Ren'Py Abandoned A.O.A. Academy [Ch.5 Gold] [TLGGAMES]

[hakuna-matata]

I don't think the writing is the problem, the decision making, however, is. Reading through the comments and I agree with one about this mafia arc being an endgame type of storyline. It's just too soon for this type of content, it looks comical seeing a guy who barely knows these girls wanting to risk life life for them. Let us build bonds and relationships first.

That's still a "writings" issue. Look even poorly written tv show can be quite entertaining. Look, the game is fun but it's not the best one in there in terms of writing. It took a 360, went from a school drama type to a mafia introduction overnight.

 

[Fiufia]

for me the mafia thing doesn't bother me much. what bothers me the most is Jenny behavior. at the beginning of the game she is completely different than in the rest of the game

 

[Darkdevil66]

you want a coherent reason on how a psychopath acts
good luck with that but i think you're going to need some long years studying psychology and even then it depends from case to case

Depend which kind you're talking about. Primary psychopath are actually very rational and manipulative individual, often above average in intelligence. You wouldn't even notice them. Adam on the other hand is just a cartoonish character, bragging how much he likes to be evil and see everyone around him suffer.

As I said before If the mafia arc was towards the end of the game I wouldn't care as much. But it's not, it jumps from the light hearted college game to a heart pounding stressful drama. The mafia arc hasn't been badly written at all to me, it's just too much, too soon. Hence, why I said the problem is on the decision making side. But, agree to disagree.

i think your definition is more of a serial killer. and although many suffer from Psychopathy is not true for all cases.
but I agree with how you describe Adam

simp mentality. Barely knows girl. Would do anything for girl anyway. OMG. The MC is a simp.

 

[Canto Forte]

MC is ”working” for all the babes in the mansion and dating around (going out with girls).
His shtick is sticking to his ”employer” like the brute is to Adam.
He can be fun like p uff di dd y butler or lack luster like wayne mannor butler.
Do you see him as a personal assistant to Jenny?

well
he was forced to this "job" at the beginning (stated this somewhere here)
so yes he is

Have you ever heard of the mentality of cowards?
which ones do you prefer?

This. If the story itself dropped hints as to what's to come slowly the Mafia plot would've felt better structured to me, if we kept the same pace prior to this arc and saw the mafia plot develop more and more after each update I wouldn't have minded. My problem is a sheltered farm kid was giving too much to deal with, too soon. The decision to just jump right in a violent storyline such as this one, so soon should've been considered more. The MC apparently has a savior complex, I was more concerned with the safety of him than anything. If I knew and cared about people for a certain amount of time, then yes, risking my life for them would seem like a no brainer for me. But to know them for only days? Weeks?

That said, I don't think the writing is bad at all, bad writing gets thrown around a lot but there's a difference to me. If the Mafia arc was total shit and didn't make sense, sure. But from what I've played it's been well executed. Players are just exhausted from it and want it to end if anything.

And without having sex it makes less sense

 

[Canto Forte]

We have a real mob assassin who refuses to assasinate for the safety of our girls.
She just would not stop the mob killers.
There is no reason for it.
Then we go to competing mob boss for protesction.
By that point, the contenders should have been dead by our assassin.
She does nothing.

Awesome female mob assassin with a throbbing revenge agenda would not revenge on her tormentors.
This is so weak for a mob game/movie/series/premise.
Violence in revenge is the mob modus operandi.

Then there's the ones who cant take a joke.

 

[Fiufia]

I just asked what you prefer MC simp or MC coward. what are you talking

 

[Canto Forte]

MC can dish it out - exhibited during Adam office scene.
MC can take all the hits - exhibited all over the bruised previews of game of hurt coming up.
Still waiting on the assassins to ... you know .. assassin like in kill bill and we are good.

I'm just waiting to punch Adam in the mouth, Jessica and her father probably have something planned for that weasel also.

Me being one of them.

 

[umbrela]

that's a good one, guys.
it's like from "came for 18+, stayed for story"
nice characters and very beatufil ost, i'm truly thinking of become a patron for this dev.

 

[StingerWolf]

Would be nice to beat up Mr. Arsehole. Currently the MC looks like beat up crap. Should be the other way around. In BADIK I sometimes even feel sorry for Tybalt. But this jerk here...Would so fulfilling to beat the crap out of him...
