I agree. His relationship with them was not serious enough to allow the word "betrayed" to be usedSeems interesting. It indeed looks like a actual smarthphone now. I just hope this doesn't mean another extra month for the update...
To make open the possibility of the protagonist going on a polyamour route with Maya&Josy, leave on unfriendly terms or leave as friends and likely opening route for a single relationship with one of the two.
It felt jarring because there was no development on why the Protagonist should feel betrayed ingame. He knows Josy for a few months and Maya not even that. Plus he wasn't in a relationship with neither of them. He just needed to "feel angry" to set up those situations above.

Fair enough, but my point still stands: how different are the paths? BaDIK has a huge amount of minor variations: you can skip various scenes, a lot of choices will get dialog references later in the game , the MC's speech changes if he has DIK or CHICK status, etc. Do those qualify as paths? They are obviously less significant than LI romances, or the Episode 4 branches, but they still give the game a surprising amount of variety in my experience.
In H5, I respect the number of options available, but I find I just didn't care about any of them. The MC theoretically has a mission, but it progresses at a snail's pace even if I focus on it. There are a bunch of characters you can interact with, but a lot of the interactions feel extremely trite.
To me the "minor" variation in BaDIK feel like they build into distinctly different gaming experiences, whereas the variations in H5 just feel like a laundry list of different things that happened individually. Obviously we'll all have different preferences, but I think we need some sort of objective guidelines to try to compare choice between the games. That will probably have to wait until both games are complete, so it could be a while.
I think the world is interesting, but the presentation is bland and the backstory is too disconnected from the events we experience.
Plus I find the "logic" rather dubious much of the time. The ship's computer is smart enough to handle distributing orders on the death of a soldier, but still sends those orders to civilians outside the chain of command? Soldiers need to take birth control pills, rather than having dedicated implants?
IMHO, H5's emphasis is entirely on the details, to the detriment of everything else.
No argument there. I'm all for more games that the developer(s) actually care about!

You can see most of content with ~3 saves at the moment, though it is likely you will need to branch into more saves as time goes on and relationships with the LIs get more exclusive.
If you want to see everything, you'd need to meticulously plan out everything to make sure you cover all the right variables on each of the saves. Probably better to either have more saves, or play through a bunch of variations on each one. Or just skip some of the minor variations.

all consequences of the stupidest and least realistic choice of the game: MC decides to leave HIS room, the one his father PAID for, when they paid the registration, because Troy is unpleasant ..
now, i'm a relatively peaceful and non-violent type, but i would never leave my room, rather poop under Troy's pillow every day.
about Derek: I have known several people like him, but none of these have ever considered him a friend of mine, too unreliable and dangerous, he was just naked I could even bear it

this part was really stupid lol
I mean we beat his ass once why not do it again and throw HIM out
Here's to hoping this isnt the DnG of episode 7...
WARNING!
If you haven't played episode 6, there may be minor spoilers for you in this post.
This post contains minor spoilers for an updated feature in episode 7, but it's nothing that's story related.
Read at your own discretion.
This week's status update is a bit different than usual.
I wanted to present parts of an updated/new feature that will appear, starting episode 7.
Many of you have guessed it already, and for others, it might come as a minor surprise.
I have worked hard on updating the in-game phone to accommodate the future needs of the game.
The phone is updated starting episode 7, so it's not a retroactive change. The MC just got a new phone, and it's going to be an improved version of the old variant.
So, what I've done is a rewrite of the phone code. I've left functionality that works well, added new functionality that's needed, updated the GUIs, and more.
I could probably talk about the phone features for hours, but I have to limit myself and let you discover most on your own.
So, I'm not going to go overtly into details, as it's also a work in progress feature, but I will show you a few of the implemented features and my thoughts for them below.
The main GUI is completely new, but it should still feel familiar.
Note that the phone in the picture is from a playthrough without mini-games.
During free-roam events, there's a music bar displaying the name of the song that's currently playing. You can toggle this bar on or off if you'd rather see more of the wallpaper behind it.
In this picture you can see three new apps, and also notice the absence of some. Some apps may have been removed, some apps may have been merged.
The two new apps in this picture are 2D art and Pack Quest. You've come into contact with both of them in episode 6.
They will be handled directly from your phone starting episode 7.
With the exception of a few apps, most apps have been (or will be) revamped.
Two apps I'm particularly excited about are the Music and Bios apps.
In the Music app, you can now filter songs by genre, and I have included a genre for licensed music that many of you wanted to be able to play.
You can also set songs as favorites and have a playlist with just your favorite tunes.
This means that you can choose to have a customized playlist that you can play during free roam events.
I can't show you too much of the Bios app, but it's going to be a tilted version of the phone where each character will have their own screen with past choices and events.
Without getting into detail, a subset of other features that you can expect from the new phone are:
The phone feels very modern and it's an enjoyable experience using it.
- Customizable/favorite/randomized wallpaper functionality.
- Simple emoticons in text messages.
- Animated transitions and screens.
I hope that you will come to love it as much as I already do.
Have a nice weekend!

I don't think DnG is going to go away. Maybe not in seven but I feel certain it's going to show up again.
I think MC joining the DIKs as a maggot only because they brutally kidnapped him, sexually abused him and... said so, even if he showed no interest in them until then is a quite dumb series of events

I sure hope not.
If we stop to analyze we will see the story is full of events that make little sense and exist just to progress the plot no matter how absurd they look.

I agree that there is no point in applying excessive realism to a game's story
but the other "stupid" decisions are at least related to sentimental issues, and there one is easier to accept an illogical choice, but to give up the room (and then consequently risk giving up college) because you have found a roommate not pleasant (when either MC has shown him to be stronger than him, or has basically decided to forgive him) I really have a hard time swallowing it
and in the end it is fundamental, much more than Maya and Josy, in the plot

IIRC he goes to the secretary demanding to change room, and she answers that it's possible but it takes time
so i don't think that finding a temporary place to stay with the idea of applying for a new room later is necessarily a bad idea
i mean, living with an asshole like troy must be the worst case scenario at that point

Yes I can .. because the bond was enour mosly strong in the 1st episode and Josy made Mc melt and be all giddy!
He and his old man felt she was the one, it was his date, he was going in thinking of the beauty of his ma!

let's not waste time defending this choice, it is at the beginning and we have overcome it.
MC gives up something for which his father, very poor, has paid, and he does it because he cannot reason with a much less annoying and dangerous boy than Tommy (and Derek)
furthermore MC either beats him, and at that point Troy should be looking for another room, or he forgives him for which it is no longer clear why he has to leave ...
everything makes even less sense when thinking about a new assignment, because Mc does not look for this temporary solution, which can no longer even be Maya, but finds a definitive one with the DIKs (those who at the first meeting send him around naked for college) and then rather than confront Troy again he thinks about dropping out of college.
this is for the plot, and that's it
I agree that it propably was the stupidest thing that MC did (atleast for now), but it was driven by emotions in that moment.
MC lost something very precious to him that someone close gave him as a present,
MC just got into fight with his roommate - what will he do? Propably wont stay in the room and look at Troy laying on the ground,
The reasonable move he did was to ask for other place to stay - but it wasn't avaible
The problem with analyzing the game characters and their decisions is that we judge them without feeling emotions that they do (actually they don't cause they don't exist but shh).
I can say "yes it was stupid that MC cared about guitar that his father was saving money for, but didn't care about room that was paid for", but in the heat of moment most people don't make logical decisions. Of course i also agree that it was forced to move Maya's story forward.
But Derek helped MC to calm down and is basically used to prevent MC doing stupid thing.
However because Derek seems helpfull, MC is going to do another stupid thing which is fully trust a naked man who he even don't know. Like, ok he can be good friend and can be trusted but cmon.
If we are starting to analize some things, the game seems logical or illogical (or sometimes both) depending on how you look at it.

I'm fine with that, I'm not saying it's not worth playing for.
but a stupid scene remains stupid, I can't justify it
then about Derek I basically joke, but even then, the dumbest of my friends would have escorted me back to my room and made me talk to him or talked directly to Troy, he would not have embarked me on a business that basically interests him and not me .
they are all decisions that serve to justify the plot, I accept them, but I do not justify them
