Did you enjoy Pulp Fiction, where the story was broken up across different timelines, making it initially confusing and then at the end it all makes sense? Some people might find that approach confusing and therefore did not like the approach, others found it a masterpiece. This game's no Pulp Fiction, but it may be the Pulp Fiction of porn games:
  • Well chosen music
  • Twists and turns
  • Memorable characters
  • Memorable dialogue
...Ok, it's no Pulp Fiction... :ROFLMAO:
O god no, not one of Tarantinos adhd, god forsaken messes. Fuck that. Its every one of his movies. Tho this style can be done, Quentin cannot successfully. With his it doesnt make since till like the 4th or 5th time you watch it. :ROFLMAO:

Edit: there is a current TV show that uses this kinda story telling and its actually pretty good at it even with the jumping around which its called "this is us"

Sage doesn't give a fuck bout the MC. If she found out she was wrong about Chad cheating she would be right back with him.
Initially this would have been true, but because the situation has worked out the was it has, mc has brought something out of sage that apparently no other guy has, including Chad. Which currently (if your on her path) has created a sort of bond between mc and her.

Whether or not you agree with how it unfolds, it's the story he wants to tell, regardless of the fans, this story starts with Josy and Maya, and no matter how much you want to step aside, that story runs through the entire game until the end of episode 6.
And it will continue to run through the rest of the game.
After this and the need to believe that while the MC is not there, things continue to happen, it is clearly a matter of taste, while I see many virtues in the story of the game and I believe that things happen in the empty spaces, you see fallacies and that nothing exists beyond what the MC sees.
For example, after the discussion at the end of episode 3/beginning of episode 4, neither of them ran after the MC, they sat down to talk, as if nothing had happened 5 minutes before, and they reached an understanding very quickly, because what they felt exists and is there... otherwise either of them would have gone out to tackle the MC. They live in the same room, they even live together in the scavenger hunt. During all that time that the MC doesn't see... nothing happens between them?
I'm not going to try to convince you, I'm just expressing my opinion, which is as wrong as anyone else's.
dude the story starts in a love triangle between the MC who as shitty haircut Steve who has a less shitty haircut, drives a mustang and is in a position of authority and Josy!

That Josy would pick the shy and quiet MC who as worked with her for 2 months and barelly uttered a word to her over the guy that formally is the alpha in that environment can only be explained by how creepy Steve behavior seems towards Josy for 2 months and the fact that she as someone! If josy was not "dating" Maya Steve approach would not have been creepy but welcomed attention!

seriously what girl picks the poor dude that rides a bicycle over a dude that drives a mustang? Only those that hate mustangs ... although the skill and capacity level shown by the MC over Steve whose accomplishments are not by his own virtue but by his fathers does play a strong part in the choice of a sexual partner!

BADIK is a very comforting story, despite DPC's reputation....
so far...

One of the worst things is how the MC acts with Maya and Josy after he finds out they were dating. I would very much like a choice there to not act like that. It's cringe af and makes MC look like a little bitch. Atleast in my eyes.
the dude got a point here! the MC should have been like... so girls, threesome? and they would have kicked him out of the room! and he would pass it out as a joke later on but being a little whining bitch over 2 girls no matter how cute? grow up idiot MC and get a decent haircut ffs!

Has anyone of you tried to make a loser route? like you have no relationship, you fought with everyone and you also have poor grades in your homework .. i would like to know how the plot goes on like this ..
i deleted all my saves but this might be interesting! i do have a takegi run of staying pure but loosing fights and bad grades? could be interesting....

The closest I got is a Sarah only save just for shits n giggles so in that one I've drunkingly snogged Bella, had Jill kiss me uncalled for, Same with Maya plus the grinding pre-taser and the pre-college stuff and spin the bottle with Josey. I had to go a bit further with Sage to get the option to stay at the HOT house for the additional Sarah scenes and also let Quinn rape me at the cumpetition.

My other two saves are Sage and a M+J where I'm doing stuff with J but not with M.
one can never go wrong with the cross eyed fuck doll!

So it's a delusional sort of thing. Cause clearly you are not playing the same game I am. The tri-alphas are pathetic in this game. Whiny fucking bitches who get cucked like crazy.
yes... but in rl we know the sports dudes are always the 1st pick for girls! fallowed by the smart and charming fellows from the Betas (well some of them at least) and only then the rich assholes! after you leave school the best jocks with professional contracts stay at the top while the failures drop like lead and the smartest betas like bill gates rise to god status and the preps aslong as they keep their family wealth rise to the top aswell

those that have not lost their minds with drugs and bad business at least!

So in the end of the day its better to a Jock like Tom Brady unless you are one of those very specific betas that do theater like Leonardo Di Caprio! in this story everyone as problems and everyone is ridiculed to a massive amount! how can Dawe be a Jock? i suspect he is a prep that decided to buy his position just like Rusty!

the Dicks are the sigma males lone wolfs that decided to gather together and build a brotherhood but without those exceptional elements that gather 0 fucks given Jocks like Tommy and Jacob preps like Rusty Betas as Leon and Jamie (and Jacob who is also an artist?) and extremely intelligent social players like JB or Derek the Jocks would always be on the top of the food chain!

The outcasts from every group came together and built a family that destabilizes the entire social fabric of that college and give people like the MC who would only be a tri beta adjacent at best a chance to shine! Its what many of the movies in which this vn is inspired message, working together with different skills creates far greater value then just the sums of equal parts!

Besides the DIK also join in artists such as Jacob the painter or Leon the musician who have no real tribe or the potheads like Nick and Vinnie whose tribe is never strong or defined!

Sage doesn't give a fuck bout the MC. If she found out she was wrong about Chad cheating she would be right back with him.
and can you blame her? her babies would be models and professional athletes! that dude is gorgeous! what does the MC provide? guitar players who do drugs? She already as a junkie daughter in Q!

the MC as it stands would halve her lifestyle being so dirt poor, he is not particularly attractive or smart (maybe you can change her opinion when she knows about your grades) so babies with the MC = boys with big dicks... but if you have daughter you really want daughter with such massive vaginas that they would be loose? perhaps it makes child birthing easier but its not like we live in the 19th century where women are expected to give out 20 babies!

Sage is a smart girl she can pick wealth from the preps or brains from the Betas but that she already has, what she wants is beautiful babies and for that she needs a Jock! Failing Chad the MC seems pretty buffed but in comparison the MC does not stack up even if you beat up Chad!

So stop hating so much on Chad your jealousy is starting to show!

Roids will do that, you get the look. But lack the strength or power against someone that has achieved it naturally. Hence why mc can beat him up even tho Chad's bigger.

I am very late to this thread, so I ask, how long is the topic "quiet" when the update is released? or is it a never stop?
This is quite literally the busiest thread I've ever seen and we're talking every messageboard I've ever been a part of in the last couple decades. :)

In 24 hours, this thread usually has 3 more pages (and I've got my pages showing the maximum amount of posts allowed by the filter per page). I'm usually running 3-5 pages in the hole at minimum because I can't ever keep up with it. It's insane.

Does anybody know how to get episode 5. I don't want to redownload the whole game and play again without my save because I am still in version 0.4.1 and the patch file is for 0.5 only

Fairly argued points even if I disagree, or perhaps more accurately think that certain aspects of my argument were misunderstood.

As for this, a couple of responses. First, on the comparison of the Quinn/lack of M&J scenes, the problem there is that the game made the latter a central storyline. I can't repeat this enough, but if the cliffhanger wasn't about Maya's homophobic father. Because of that decision, their storyline is just a part of the larger storyline than the Quinn stuff. It is what drives Maya's need to secure her tuition costs is because of her father's threat because of her sexuality. Maya's whole character arc, stakes and all that are tied to her being gay, at which point it does become a glaring omission in the game that she never shows absolutely no interest in women and only expresses desire to have sex with a guy. That is what created the narrative dissonance and it why I'm baffled that there is litereally no attempt to address that with the progression of the game. If the story was just about how Maya was broke and needed money, I don't personally think that there would be that much room for criticism, even if it was still about turning the lesbian, as it wouldn't so inherently with the foundational struggle. Similarly if that cliffhanger only happened if the MC was in that relationship, then again I don't there's as much as criticism as at least had the bare effort with that one scene.

This kind of connects to the wish fulfillment thing, as I do agree that is what these games are. I'm not expecting real life. Rather my criticism is that within the story the game chooses to tell, it is doing a really bad foundational work with it. It is actually kind of odd, and I haven't been able to figure it out, but there was no other LI the game forced on the player like it did with M&J, yet it is the most lazy with their storyline that it also made a central storyline that you can't avoid. Just utterly baffling.

This isn't by the way the only narrative misstep as I do think in Episode 6 things are really spinning out of control. For example having the cliffhanger be about Mona losing her grant was so random that I just started laughing there. Again for similar reasons as my complaint about M&J as it was this grand moment where the game really hadn't done the work to justify it.
I seriously wonder how many women Maya should have sex with to convince you that Maya considered herself a lesbian?
You should also consider that she was in a relationship with Josy.
Due to the tight time frame until the first Maya/MC sex, there wasn't much time! And if we take a closer look at this scene, Maya discovers a side of herself that she didn't know before. Through the rubbing and the body contact of the MC, Maya became aroused.

And if you also look at Maya's flashbacks, you can clearly see that Maya is introverted. In the Josy and Maya flashback, Josy makes the first move. I could imagine that it was Maya's first sexual experience. In the second flashback, she is standing on the edge of the dance floor and is approached by a boy and is very reserved. This could indicate that Maya never really had contact with boys. In EP3, Maya couldn't even tell the MC in words what she meant and could only express herself properly through a gesture.

Now you should put yourself in Maya's shoes for once! The hormones are going totally crazy. They don't even know what's going on with them anymore. With 18 years only little life experience. A new environment. The future is uncertain because of the father. Fear of being surprised by the father at any time. On one side Josy, on the other MC or both. Lesbian or Bi. HOT's not HOT's. If HOT's, then this list. Quinn. Not to mention classes.

And that is exactly what DPC is trying to show us about Maya. Her evolution from an insecure teenager to a young adult woman. And I hope Maya takes a bigger developmental step in EP7.

Someone who isn't pathetically shallow? Someone who prefers character? Someone with character themselves.

yes... but in rl we know the sports dudes are always the 1st pick for girls!
I know nothing of the sort. Not all women are the same, just as not all men are. Some girls prefer nerds. Some prefer nice guys. Some prefer rich assholes. It's never been universal and only small minds stereotype everyone as being the same.

So in the end of the day its better to a Jock like Tom Brady unless you are one of those very specific betas that do theater like Leonardo Di Caprio! in this story everyone as problems and everyone is ridiculed to a massive amount! how can Dawe be a Jock? i suspect he is a prep that decided to buy his position just like Rusty!
They are not tom brady's. Most, if not all of them, will find that their sports career's are over after college. Very few college players ever play professionally and an insigficant percentage ever play in a major league.

You might not want to download the whole game again, but I'm afraid it's your only option right now.

Yes she does. She's just keeping those feelings bottled up and pretending it's nothing more than a FWB arrangement.
That's what I think too. I believe she grown up in an environment where everyone was playing with her and just wanting sex and nothing else from a relationship. Now that she's encountered the MC, she sees in him someone who truely care about her (staying with her when she has a cold for example), and not someone who just want her ass (that depends on your RP too).

I could not get one that only has the patch only the full version of version 5.0
Do I have to manualy patch the 5.1 to the 5.0(7.87g) or is it already 5.1 ? The downloading link given there says the version is 5.0 only so I'm confused.
