i know what you mean, BUT losing SOME points with a girl doesnt rule her out, you dont need all points with a girl... if you want to pursue her all the major decisions are unavoidable. there are several scenes in the game at some points where you will meet multiple girls and there you have to make decisions which really counts...I agree
I think the most annoying thing to me is that the game puts a smokescreen over the impact of your choices.
We should be able to chase the girls we want to chase without having to replay the game 5 times because we told another girl we'd go to the gym with her, or study with another girl, etc. I get throwing a few curveballs at the player so it's not predictable, but don't make it so ridiculously confusing to pursue the options you want to pursue as a player. This really hurts the gaming experience, because instead of playing the game, seeing girls, and going after a couple, I'm left trying to guess which variable is tracked where, if I am nice to this girl here, does that mean I can't be nice to another girl there, etc.
If we have to choose, make the choice a little bit obvious, because then we feel like we have agency. Making the choices is hot if we know what they do, but irritating and a turnoff if we don't. Do I want to go to lunch with this girl? I don't know, let me look at the variables and see if it randomly impacts a totally different girl first.
I don't want to make a spreadsheet to try to date the girls I want to date. That's a boner killer.
if you go in a freeroam in the classrooms instead to the cafeteria you may loose some points with a girl you like, but later on you will have the chance to get some points enough to take the realtionship further. You will just miss some points, dialogues and gallery pictures if you dont have gathered every relationship point with the girl... but if you really want to be with a girl, you cant miss that, doesnt matter what you do in the freeroams and if you miss something there...
But yeah i agree, things should be way more obivious in that department, but well... thats what quicksafe is for.
