Ah, I guess it's just me. I am not a fan of being lied to or of feeling like a third wheel. The former has already happened and may again, the latter is likely since the MC is entering a pre-existing relationship.
After careful, painstaking analysis of this thread over the past month, I think I can safely say you were not alone in that feeling.
Not me. It hurt like hell, sure, but that was only because they got back together so quickly when they really shouldn't have. Everything else they did I can understand and forgive them for because I like them, particularly Maya, and aren't ready to give up on them.
Sage, Bella and Jill are also main girls.
I don't really have animosity toward Josy, it is more that obviously the MC is a distant second option for both of them and it is only the second week of college. Why the hell would you tie yourself to an existing turbulent relationship? Sure there were strong emotions involved but some people have strong emotions when they eat their favorite food. Why not sever ties and explore in safer and saner pastures?
Don't listen to it and it's been fairly light compared to some other reactions.
Eventually, in these games, you have to make a choice (usually) and I would like to be able to make choices as we go along instead of having the choice made for me or waiting until the end of the game to choose between X number of routes. In addition I can't help but feel that if the MC did care about both of them he is either going to get hurt by continuing to be friends (and watching them from the outside) or by trying to be a part of something he doesn't really belong in (by wanting something "more").
Because even as friends, Maya and Josy still have a part to play in this story and they can't be gotten rid of because of that. There's also the possibility that they break up either on the friendship path or the threesome path and that this opens them up to a solo path if players want that which some do, so it's too early to burn those bridges.
I wouldn't say they lied to the MC as opposed to withholding certain bits of information from us. Then while Josy said that she WAS seeing someone and Maya, for obvious reasons stemming from her homophobic father, confidence and trust issues potentially as to why she didn't tell us, even with our supportive and caring treatment towards Maya.
Got to remember it's DPC story to tell here and not ours so we are stuck with them in some form in one way or another sadly. But see trying to explain that it's all DPC story boy that sure was fun
Eh, I feel like the MC got too invested too fast while at the same time he is going to fuck around on them. It isn't like the MC is going to suddenly stop pursuing Bella, Jill, or Sage even though it seems like he is going to be in a committed relationship with Maya and Josy. And again, he could completely sever ties and still be drawn into their lives by his maggot brother, the HOTS situation, the DIK fraternity, etc. No reason that he needs to have a friendly relationship with them just because he had some strong emotions happen in the first two weeks of his college life. He has 4 years to go and he is so emotionally invested in these two that he has to have them in his life forever?
Yeah, Quinn... My rooftop, high as a kite, chimney fuck... Just another reason that M&J should be running away from the MC. LOL
The friendship you give will return to you twice.
Friends who lie or keep things from you are not better than no friends. Additionally they have their own shit that they will be going through that they will drag the MC into (tuition, sorority pledges, etc). Finally, as I've said many times it has been two weeks, two weeks of college and the MC is unable/unwilling to walk away. Especially when he is already fucking multiple women outside of this triad.
I've been running away from Quinn every chance I got. Bitch keeps coming back like hepatitis.
According to what the creator of the game announced on Patrion, it won't be soon. We'll have to wait quite a long time. But it's definitely that 5 episodes are largely in the works!
If MC gets so hung up over a girl after only two weeks that he's ready to burn all the bridges, it says more about the MC, if you ask me. Especially when both girls explicitly stated they were already taken. He chose to pursue them regardless and got burned. That's on him.
Right? I was surprised that the MC didn't end up with something infectious after that. She uses syringes (IIRC?) and she fucks around. Not exactly a combination that keeps you clean forever.
Lot of "blame" to go for all involved in my mind. Love is a messy bitch. Arieth would know.
Perhaps, but neither of them exactly played hard to get either. Josy could have chosen to not have him over for dinner and taken him to bed. Maya could have maintained a certain distance throughout, some basic flirting is all it took for both of them to forget each other and move on to him.
True dat! I guess I am more of a "cut losses and move on" type than to linger and let the wound stay open. The MC is essentially Maya's beard, sure she has feelings for him but not as strong as her feelings for Josy.
