This episode reminds me a lot of some of the lasting consequences of Acting Lessons.
The warning signs were there....released on Fri 13th...plus we see Leah from AL go past when out with Tommy. DPC can`t help himselfJust finished the update and don't really know where to begin, but one thing is for sure; I'm pissed off! I started off with the usual anxiety of not knowing where this was going, but at the end, I'm just really pissed off with this episode.
I think one of the reasons is that I've gotten used to games where there aren't so many consequences and it's a nice bit of escapism from the harsh realities of life, and this game was that for the first 3, even 5 episodes to an extent, but now it's just delivering gut punch, after gut punch, after gut punch that I'm starting to think DPC might be something of a masochist.
I've been here a lot and I know people have, by and large, been giving DPC the benefit of the doubt by saying "it won't be as dark as AL" and that "he won't do what he did before", well he's doing it in terms of the emotional stuff and, in what is just my humble opinion as an avid fan and player, it feels like the game is gradually getting worse with all of this dark drama and the gut-wrenching relationship melodrama.
Without going into too much detail and in no particular order, these are all the things that pissed me off about this episode based on my main runthrough:
1) The Sims-like "rebuild the mansion" management system
2) The DnG game
3) The whole nothing burger that was the MC's Mom's letter
4) Not getting to resolve things with Jade as to why the MC didn't show up for their rendezvous
5) Not being able to talk to Cathy and Jade at the bar
6) Having to choose between Jill and Sage
7) Essentially getting "cockblocked" from Nicole for going on the date with Jill
8) Tybalt's slimy blackmail
9) Automatically turning down Lily's request
10) Mona geting expelled
11) Cathy resigning
12) Maya's Dad showing up and literally everything to do with what he's doing to her.
I'm honestly so fearful of what's to happen now, particularly with Maya, because this is the darkest part of the game so far with so much depressing and worrisome shit being thrown at us all at once that I'm starting to think DPC enjoys this and that all of us hoping for this to be a generally light-hearted game couldn't have been more wrong.
I'll probably come back to this game in a couple of weeks once the walkthrough is released and see exactly what the deal is with the different choices, but I think I might also need to take some time to decompress after this episode because aside from pissing me off, I'm not liking the direction this is going in and I'm not sure if I can do this for 6 or more episodes if it keeps going in this direction.
i know that one. He is in the main party room, but you need to go closer to click on him.guys, need help, kinda stuck on freeroam, the quest says i need to speak with rusty but i cant find him, not in a single room
i found her. when you see Jill & Josy on the isle, press the right arrow then the up arrow.. so right & upShe's in the isle with Bella but for some reason I can't talk to her?
Huh? You don't have to show the video to DIK's, i never did in my playthrough so of course he never got access to it. I never got a scene of burke having a video of mc/jade.Yo guys so I finished my playthrough and I got a question. When at the end Professor Burke is looking at his computer etc. How could he possibly got a hold of the video of MC fucking Jade? If my memory serves right after MC shows the video to the DIKs for the Hell Week, Rusty uses his DIK secret right or something (I know it's named differently) and everyone keeps that to themselves. So how did Prof. Burke has that video? I didn't understand that part and if someone has an idea or two about this and would tell me I would appreciate it
how did he get a hold of that though?I have never regretted a VN choice more than when I saw the last picture on Burke's laptop.
I know that it's an option to show the video. That's not the point tho lolHuh? You don't have to show the video to DIK's, i never did in my playthrough so of course he never got access to it. I never got a scene of burke having a video of mc/jade.
the same way someone got hold of the laptop to post the Cathy pic on Rooster.how did he get a hold of that though?

ohhh so If you don't show the DIKs the video Burke doesn't get a hold of it. Hmmmm if that's the case the "brotherhood" of the DIKs isn't as strong as it is shown then I guessHuh?
