I tried once to play this game since it is loved so much. But, the setting "fraternity" really threw me off. There isn't anything like that that exists where i live. I wonder if anyone had the same difficulty, i am going to try it out a second time (i really want to like this game lol). It would really piss me off, if i still can't get on board.
American stuff. If you've seen any amount of US films, you should be aware of how things are done in colleges there. Completely foerign concept to myself also, but it doesn't stop me enjoying the story/setting.
I'd say B&R is much more based on the tropes of the comedy films set in colleges in the US than on an authentic college experience. BaDIK has much more in common with Animal House, Revenge of the Nerds, and Van Wilder than it does with reality. So, Maviarab is right... I think the assumption is that the player will have seen films like those and have some passing familiarity with the setting.

A couple examples? B&R is presented as a somewhat prestigious school, but half the characters in the game likely barely passed high school and would have trouble getting accepted into a community college much less a university of any note. Also, any school big enough to have 4+ active fraternities/sororities wouldn't have the same professor teaching math and English. The University I went to was fairly small, and only had about 6 greek houses, but our math and English departments each had 15-20 professors.

Oddly, that first pic is one of my favorites of Jill. I think she's one of the true beauties in the game, but for some reason her face has a tendency to look really unnatural in certain shots. That first picture is just a great, natural-looking perturbed expression that I expect I would see a lot of if I knew her in real life. :)

This is what romantized version of fraternity looks like in the movies, which is what the setting is based on. Just like the mafia movies, where some are way off, like the godfather for instances, it's more praised for its movie characteristics, than actual mafia representation. Fraternities, dont really go like that in an american college, specifically the vandalism parts, this is more like high school setting for boarding schools than actual universities/colleges, but let's not get into that.

Initially i didnt like it either, this me and the boys thing. But thankfully that's not the whole thing in this game. Besides, as the story grows you get involved more in this game and the DIKs jacket are pretty cool, sometimes the only way out, is through.

Nice look overall. I like her dress, though I personally would pass on the whip cream on top of my massive waffle-cone. Certainly seems to me like our second date with Jill is upcoming. I wonder if that will be restricted to those on the Jill path (or at least those who haven't told her to steer clear), or if everyone gets to join.

Jill said it was supposed to rain "next week," so this seems like further confirmation Episode 6 will be pushing deep into the week at least. Optimism continues to grow cautiously.

Very true so far I would say yes...while more 'mature' in content...it does have vobes of those classic 80's comedies yeah.
This is what often has me thinking that we won't see any great tragedies like we did in AL and that there might not be the same kind of dramatic, shocking, and unexpected plot twists as there was in that game either because of the entirely different setting and tone.

Might be luring myself into a false sense of security, but I guess we'll see.

I don't think those are narrative choices

already, on balance, there are too many characters, managing others just for realism became complicated for DPC.

we have 5 fraternities, but only 2 of these are fully involved in the story, the Jocks are bad and stupid, the Preps the spoiled and for the Nerd only theories, otherwise they are useless.

the audience of characters is already too large, and inevitably other more or less secondary characters will emerge.
compared to AL we are on a whole other level of complexity (and difficulty to manage for PDC).

I also hope it's a lighter, less dramatic work, but I don't have all these certainties

I made another new route. The Milfs, Jill route. I'm focusing Jill, Cathy, Bella, Jade, Envy, Nora. If he add more milfs I'm pursing them too

cool
I'm right now are unable to make different choices, so i don't have so called paths. Hell, I don't even have save files at the moment, because i wanted to start fresh, to make different decisions, only to realize that I would do everything in the same way, so deleting them was pointless :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:.

there is one major decision I'm struggling with, Quinn's restaurant, accepting or not. and that one decision, messing with my neutral play style :D.
