The freeroam is just a chore to complete at this point. It was significantly faster for me the second time around, but the first time was beyond annoying. I'm also worried that the next episode (when it's released in 2070) might force me to go back and replay all of this shite yet again just to unlock everything. The scenes were solid and the animation seems a bit better, but this is probably the weakest episode so far in terms of gameplay experience.

yeah sadly you are right on this one... next episode has to make up for that big time. Hopefully DPC delivers on that.

But DPC sure likes his free roams... iam not very fond of them, but in the past the big free roams always contained something that give us at least some real progress for some plots. Not so this time.

Recently i made some new playthroughs... and i have to say, ovberall the last epsiode feels just like a big waste of time. Its fun to play, and has some nice scenes, but nothing meaningful happens, the only real meaningful thing is, if you date Jill and Josy/Maya and the breakup during the episode cause of that... but well, thats not really something that big. Its my least favorite episode so far too, the good renders and animations doesnt save it from that. Its just above the interlude, but that is not a really good attribute ;)

To be fair though... its the only episode so far where nothing major happened. And everything felt like the quiet before the storm.
However... after a year of waiting time and the "huge" episode 8 endings and a dissapointing interlude on top of it. It wasnt the right time for a "filler episode" like this... and for sure not the right thing to make 90% of the episode out of this free roam.

Hopefully DPC is changing the pace and the way to go very much from here on, or just go back to the way it was in ep 7 and 8... would make me very happy again.

And my hopes are somewhat high about that. During the development for episode 9, DPC talked very much about this free roam and made clear it will be the biggest part of the episode (but i didnt thaught it would be about 90%, i expected it to be maybe 50% or a little more..) and that there will be more scenes which are changing due to decisions than before, and yeah that was indeed the case, but everything felt kinda pointless.

So far in his dev blogs for episode 10, he didnt mentioned anything about a fact that there will be a real huge free roam. More so, he talked very much about "canon" scenes. Those are normaly scenes for the plot, cause they dont change regardless of your decisions. Those scenes were very rare in the last episode, and it seems so far most of the done scenes for episode 10 are canon-scenes. And i really hope this will be the case.

And after the long wait for episode 9 and mostly for unnecessary animations, i sure hope he can deliver the next epsiode at least in mid-july. But we will see...

I don't think this episode is weak. It feels so because of the waiting time, but I bet for someone playing the whole thing at once for the first time it would blend much better.

I'm sorry to inform you that DPC is busy making cuck porn, where MC gets cucked by fuckface, who might be the original MC or it might be a fuckface clone, we can't be quite sure yet which fuckface is the original MC.

The whole choosing between Sage and Jill. Jill does come off as a bit of a hypocrite for someone who cares so much about other people. Loosing points with her because you choose to help a sick person.

Abazzaba said:
I think it's more that she had a whole special surprise date planned out for you.
Is it fair that she's upset by it being canceled to help a sick person?
Not really, but it's understandable.
You can't help feeling slighted in that kind of situation even if it's justifiable.
Emotions are selfish that way.

osculim said:
No its not really fair. She planned this without you knowing that is not your fault. And you told sage you will come and help before Jill comes around. Any normal person would understand that would be the right thing to do. That really didn't take so much planning and she could easily have just postponed it a bit

Abazzaba said:
I know.
I said it's not fair.
My point was that it doesn't have to be for her being upset to make sense.

osculim said:
No I understand what you said. That just goes back to what I said from the start. She is being a hypocrite. She cares about other people until it affects her then she can't care any less.

UnoriginalUserName said:
I don't feel she's being hypocritical at all. It's completely understandable because of who you're helping. Sage is, for all intents and purposes, just some girl. She isn't your sister or mother or something, she's a potential rival for your affections and technically "just a friend" at that point. Sure, she's sick, but she isn't dying, and she could very easily either take care of herself, or have some other person take care of her instead of the MC. Sage wants the MC to come help her because she likes him. Jill realizes this and is hurt you pick Sage over her, especially with a date to a special place planned out.

At least that's how I see it.
(and for the record, I don't really have a favorite between the 2 of them)

osculim said:
That is being super selfish. She barely know Sage. If Jill cared so much she could have postponed the date. The fact that you want to help sage should tell her that sage is more than just some girl to MC.

No girl in the history of ever was happy to find out a guy she liked was off to see another girl instead of going out with her on a picnic she had impromptuly put together for his birthday.

If you don't get that, you ain't getting laid... ever. :p

I'm not a big football fan but I think it would've been a good addition to the game. It's a college drama series after all. And some of Jocks and the Diks obviously would be part of the same team so alot of potential drama there.
