The first thing that comes to mind after playing the alpha is i feel bad for Alex that she has to end up with such a piece of shit MC...and that's a terrible first impression to have.
So is it all doom and gloom...well no,i love the mob boss with a beautiful daughter setting. The daughter is a gorgeous young woman, but obviously very shielded away from the outside world living in a gilded cage so to speak. Seeing who her father is, i doubt she has had any real love in her life yet either. I think the mob boss and the goons look decent as well...you know they look like mobsters which they are intended to look like
There could be lot of interesting situations that could happen with the father and the mob so that's all good.
The renders look decent. They don't look any worse than in Intimate Relation...neither do they look any better.
What else do i like...oh the MC doesn't look like generic Michael 7 so that's good.
So what do i not like?...Well the MC is a despicable piece of crap.There is nothing relatable about that character...i'm honestly kind of lost for words as to why Ptolemy thought that was a good idea. Anyway that's just my personal feeling about the MC maybe rest of the players feel differently about that character. The overall story direction thanks to the MC is really not to my likeing.
I know it might seem as i'm being very negative but i belive if Ptolemy reworks the story and characters a bit it would have much more appeal to players.
For example why not make the MC a young man from a small town in the middle of nowhere who was unhappy and wanted more from life. His Cousin Dan offered to organize him an appartment and come work with him until he finds what he is looking for. Now i know it's a bit cheezy but it's also much more relatable to the players then some maniac who kills people because they looked at him wrong. From there the MC can meet the daughter, boss and his goons as it is right now.
Overall i would turn the game to more of a romantic route and slow it down a bit (i know many of you are screaming MILKING right about now but it's necessary for the game to feel more natural and have a better flow...it is afterall the chase and anticipation that is most exhilarating). The MC and the daugher spending time at work,sneaking out for some dates and such. All of that behind the father of course. Even the pool event could be turned around...MC is not a killer but if his woman is being threatened with rape and murder...well he will kill...in the name of LOVE :happyblush. after it could unravel like it is now in game, they run to MCs appartment, MC goes back to mob boss house, gets captured admits he killed the bad guys to save the daughter, they go back to MC appartment find that MC wasnt lying and MC earns respect with the boss, boss and daughter leave the apartment....BUT this is where the first sex scene could happen...let me explain. something traumatic has just happened MC had killed a man...a bad man but a man non the less and the daughter was almost raped and murdered...realising that she owes her life to the MC she somehow sneaks out and goes to MCs appartment,where they make sexy sex for the first time.
Obviously the stuff the i wrote won't fit itto the alpha time line. Many of you might think my version is stupid and all girled up but if you look at the most played and successful games most of them have romance in them...hell even Dana started out as a romance between brother and sister not the fuck fest it is now XD
Now admittedly i'm no writer...as you can clearly see from my incoherent rambling so take it as you want. Ptolemy does what Ptolemy wants and i have no sway over him but i just thought i give my 2 cents.
PS: Sorry for all the spelling mistakes,i'm really tired :angel:
