Not sure what the consensus on the latest update is, but I have to say that I'm extremely disappointed. I understand this is a game with multiple different paths so obviously some paths would be untouched in some updates. But I feel that the vast majority of this update is just fluff fillers that aren't meaningful.
Barry's house is basically just a "chill" event story-wise. The strip club is even worse. We already have so many girls that it's too big to fit everyone into every update, so what do we do? Introduce 3 strippers into the game for no reason. And while I enjoy the side characters like MC's Dad and Derek's band, I really dislike how we kept on just getting snippets of things where it probably advances the story by one baby step.
I don't mind having some fillers here and there, but it is disappointing that the majority of the update is the filler.
