Damn if a lot of people aren't cranky these days.
A lot of criticism and complaints about--just about everything. I too have my issues with the game--hell even voiced a few. But the simplest fact is if you can build a better mouse trap then do so. In rendering and programing, I can't, though I could and have written better story plots. Still I recognize what L&P has done here that has so many defenders and detractors. It's a huge project, a lot of story arches, its complex, and has a goal. The projects very size is both its best asset and has its own failings, and proves the point, "if you are attempting to please everyone, the affect is you will not please anyone."
What is sad and most don't see it. The Developer is dropping content for the sake of speed and production. Imagine if the production time was much, much faster and the volume of content was how the developer envisioned it. Yes, still wouldn't please everyone and people will find something else to gripe about, yet, if there is a fair criticism that is valid, because of the size of the project, the Developer hasn't created a team and system to meet the audience's demands.
Sure there is an upcoming event of a house party, and everyone has their own pitch to how it ought to go, how it will go, and lines have been drawn. Honesty if everything about the project was going 5-by-5, I would love to see the start of another story arch and plot put into motion. That is not the case though--project is too huge for one Developer to start another story line

The aspect of this little side event is that it can go in any direction:
Dylan and Christine start dating
Ellie and Dylan start their own romantic journey
There is nothing but wild sex
A total plot twist is introduced
A boring party that accomplishes nothing
...anything
Regardless of this event and upcoming events, it still remains true that this game is unlike so many other dumpster fires of H-games available. The potential of making this game into one of those other trashy games was too easy from the start, and yet here we are 6500-ish pages and counting, praising, bemoaning, bitching, and commenting on the game
