I started replaying this from the beginning since I had sorta forgotten the storyline since ep1. Not quite finished with the update, but I think far enough along to offer my own (unsolicited) opinion.
For the most part, I like it...the story isn't too bad, the women are hot, and the underdog is (kinda) makin his way up.
However, the story does kind of give me a slight headache with the mental gymnastics required.
The MC has the balls to reject her offer, not once, but twice. I can almost understand going ahead and taking her offer (I sure as hell wouldn't have done it right then and there...I'dve had to take the 30 days and try and find SOMETHING...ANYTHING). But then to NOT call her out on her bullshit? A 3 month old blind baby could she that she was manipulating shit. And then once he gets there, he's talking with her like they're calmly discussing a beautiful summer day? And talking about paying her back for stuff? Hell no, she's fucking with his life...anything she buys him is his due, and it's STILL not enough. And even if she's the beautiful embodiment of Aphrodite, Helen of Troy, and Cleopatra...I sure as hell wouldn't tell HER that...gawk at her all ya want, but keep the verbal interactions chilly and professional.
I mean hell...without the patch, what she did was bad enough...WITH the patch, it's damn unforgivable. And she's only helping him now NOT out of a sense of responsibility (which I'm starting to wonder if she even knows what that is with how she's been carrying on after he moved in), but because she wants something from him.
I'd really like game options to ignore/rebuff/snub her, but not a deal breaker for me.
I really don't want to seem like I'm dumping all over the game, I actually like it...but as one of my former NCO's told me "It's not WHAT you say, it's HOW you say it...you have no tact..."
