Ok I just finished the update and oh my... fuck I feel sad, sad for waiting, sad for Jill, sad for Sage and sad for Maya... fuck fuck fuck... Is the first time an adult game make me feel this things xd unnatural on me... Well what is done is done

Guessing that if this is a new feeling, you didn't play Acting Lessons? That had plenty of sadness.

 

[brichouse]

not much content for sage this episode? besides her calling the mc for a talk and when she gets a fever?

Um... iirc, there's the scene in the rain after Chad left her ass, some short scenes when MC follows her to check on her during the day (all of which end with some variation of her asking MC to leave her alone), and the sick scene.

I'm waiting for Sage to finally figure out who Chad's been fucking (Melanie) because that shit NEEDS to hit the fan.

Episode 5 setting up a threesome with Johnny and Elena in the future? possibly idk

ahh i see. yea i can't wait for that scene to happen too! just so i didnt miss anything, shes supposed to deny you the kiss at that rain scene right? I understand, considering she just got dumped.

I thought the Sage stuff was appropriate for setting you up towards a real relationship. It went beyond being FWB. Jill is starting to force MC to commit towards one path, it wouldn't surprise me if that became the norm for all LIs.

No i havent. I rarely get feelings watching movies or playing videogames, I could count it with my fingers the times I did , and lets not talk about adult games none had made me feel sad or even drop a tear before xD amazing I have no words

Yeah, she rejects that!

The Nicole (Envy) and Sandy scene is another level

I agree that it seems to be building the bond between them, but it still felt somewhat lacking in a sense. At this point, even if they're FWB, they also seem to be good friends too, so it's kind of weird to me how LITTLE time MC spends checking up on her.

What do I do to get Nicole (Envy) and Sandys scene

 

[Shadu]

Feels like the game coming to an end soon for certain girls wouldnt be shock if its happens 2 updates from now

i think you need to get her to blow you when you were in the pink rose (strip club, have her on swyper and succesfully chat with her, and be on the DIK route when tommy invites you to the bar scene on ep6.

Bella is love, Bella is life.

Those scenes where Bella and Jill just show how much they care about MC. Bella helping MC with the library and Jill on that date with MC. These are the two best romantic partners in the game imo. I haven't really seen other characters go out of their way to do that for the MC apart from his dad and Derek.

Spoiler: love

Pretty sure someone said it's expected to be at least 12 chapters....

Thats true but Sage or Josy and Maya care of him too

 

[Soul_less327]

Jesus fuck, those fill in the line bullshit fucking mini games are some of the most annoying things I've ever seen in any video game of any kind, ever.

You don't need to out with Jill

 

[Wizard_Shiryuu]

I feel the same as you. I think it comes down to expectation vs reality, as Thanos said, "reality is often disappointing". The expectation here, at least for me, was that whilst this would have some drama, we'd have relatively unrestrained freedom to do whoever we want with little consequence, at least in the early goings. But the reality is that the game punishes players who try to have the whole cake and eat it too, but even punishes players who try to have just half of it.

I'm surprised you're surprised, really.

There are so many moments in this game that leave me scratching my head as to why we should be locked from doing certain things, like helping Quinn in this episode. Why it requires you to be on the DIK path is somewhat baffling because a player could have done several things with Quinn, like have the threesome with her and Riona, stay at Sage's and get most of that scene with her, smoke with her on the roof, text with her in Ep 5 and show concern, all these things that you would think would endear her enough to the MC to make her accept his help, yet she doesn't just because you're not DIK affinity. It's like the M&J ep 4 scene all over again.

I honestly think that limiting the player's options and interactions based on the DIK/CHICK scale and on being in certain relationships is fast becoming a major downside to this game because 9 times out of 10, there's no reason why, story and narrative wise, the MC or certain other characters should not do certain things just because of this. The type of character the MC is, both at a base level and what you make him, is very often not a character who wouldn't do something or who other characters wouldn't want to do something with yet we are forced to see what could be considere unnatural character moments for arbitrary reasons.

This I agree with. Some paths blocking out some choices makes sense, but most of those look like it's "just because". There's not a real ingame reason for blocking Cathy or Jade for M&J players. Same for Jill and Nicole. I would be ok for consecuences for actions, but not for random blocks.

This post mde me realize I haven't done a Bella playthrough for Ch 6 yet! I agree that what Jill did was really sweet and showed she cares about MC.

Maya and Josy seem like they're... takers; they mostly use MC, tbh. Hell, even the starts of their relationships with MC were basically built on the desire to use him to get the affection they weren't getting from each other.

Sage is a mess right now so I have no judgment of her yet, but I think she might be sweet once she GETS TF OVER CHAD.
