He hasn't been in college long enough yet for the girls to notice they've missed their periods, especially at the rate everybody's partying.
See, people often imprint on their first sexual experiences. No wonder he's got a stocking fetish.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
I agree with you 100% on the first part.While I'm certainly not going to defend (objectively) the way BaDIK handled the Maya/Josy crisis in Episode 4, I do think it manages to beat out the... incident in AL.
- The BaDIK MC is at least a decade older. A teenager overreacting to a failed romance (even one that never got off the ground) is a lot easier to swallow than a ~30 year old becoming a recluse because a friend died tragically.
- We have far more control over the MC in BaDIK during his funk. Sure, the MC is still a moody git, but we get to make a few significant choices in between the forced actions - starting with the the three potential paths through the episode. We can advance alternative romances! We can rate asses! We can return to the Pink Rose and bang our distaff doppelganger! We can water plants! ... okay that last one may not actually be in BaDIK's favor. But I stand by the rest!
- The tone of the game is worlds apart. I said AL wallows in the misery it unleashes, and I meant it. The MC is a broken man looking back on events from two years down the line, apparently having little to no contact with his friends in that time. In BaDIK, the MC is in his funk for 2 days, and his friends and acquaintances are all trying to lift his spirits - Jill even succeeds! (Hell, much as I dislike Jade, I thought her heart to heart for MC on her path was excellent.)
- Sort of obvious, but the final act of AL was the end of the game, whereas Episode 4 was just the end of BaDIK's season. That means BaDIK had the chance to recover from its mistake, and by in large it has used that opportunity well (IMHO). For AL, there is no recovering from that faceplant.
- Most importantly, the crisis in BaDIK is entirely rooted in the game itself: the MC's journey to adulthood, with all the bumps and bruises that normally entails. The crisis in AL, on he other hand, isn't about the MC connecting with new friends, it's about a serial killer we never knew existed killing someone the MC likes because she's batshit crazy. Not only does this mean that BaDIK's twist is a surprise rather than a blatant asspull, it also means BaDIK is well positioned to deal with the ramifications of the twist in the future. AL, in contrast, became a totally different game (including the near complete removal of game mechanics) because it was forced to grapple with something completely alien to what it had been doing for the first 6 episodes.
Allow me to return the favor.
- "All that time" was a week and a half. She obviously couldn't visit until Maya was at B&R, and for most of the first week Josy was probably hoping her acceptance would arrive any day.
- She explicitly says she needs to talk the matter over with Maya before she joins the HOTs, and as far as we can tell Maya accepts the logic of her decision even if she doesn't like it. (Note that Maya does back off in class when Josy tells her not to take her frustrations out on her).
- What's to defend? Becky never said anything bad about Maya. We don't even know for sure that she was lying about not remembering Maya. I suppose you could argue this makes Josy look self-absorbed, but it's not like having a girlfriend means you can't spend time with other people.
- I mostly agree with this (though I think Josy intended to come clean to the MC and then decide what to do with his input), but I don't see how that counts as frivolous. While she was clearly thinking about ending the relationship, I see no evidence that Josy was doing so lightly.
- Ummm... Maya asked the MC to let Josy sleep in his room. She was afraid of Patrick returning when her guard would be down.
How would Zoey do that? I'd say the MC is already a lot more emotionally invested with the LIs than he was with Zoey (and a few of the side girls to boot). If he's still dating multiple girls when Zoey resurfaces, I doubt she'd make a dent in his thinking; more likely he'd just try and add her to his collection.
Besides, as ChipLecsap said, we already had this exact scenario in Episode 4. Sure, it was handled badly, but adding Zoey to the mix would not have solved the problems. (Plus, I feel like Jill's polaroid has claimed the role if we ever need an encore.)
I think if Zoey does return at a dramatic moment, it's more likely to be as a sounding board for the MC. She can give him objective advice while still knowing the MC and caring about his well being.
Yeah... Especially when she told MC that she would not hesitate to play dirty in order to "win" (the swimming pool scene if MC stays with Sage in EP4). Along with that abandoned puppy face when she saw Chad left the party in EP7, I can't really shake off the sense that Sage was using MC to achieve something instead of trying to develop a healthy relationship with him.
I think you wildly overestimate that relationship.I agree with you 100% on the first part.
But you are also underestimating Zoey. Of course the MC is more emotional with the other LI's right now than with Zoey. But here's the thing.
Zoey has known the MC much, much longer and thus better than all the other LI's combined. It's a little over 3 years that Zoey has spent with the MC. No LI can come close to that amount of time. She has the potential to be a danger to the LI's.
It is solely up to the MC (player) to decide what the MC will or will not do with Zoey when she reappears.
It may also be that Zoey ends up being a good friend who helps the MC through difficult times and/or problems.
DPC wrote in an EP8 status report that he has been looking forward to creating a scene for 2 years. That actually falls within the time frame of Zoey's review.

side girls who fuck a lot of people who are not the MC? Where does that sound like????Let me add my dime's worth into this debate.
Zoey can never come back and expect to be a side girl.
She fucked the mc. They split up. She's off fucking some other dude. Then she comes back? Hello?! NTR much!!?

Oh man wait until some of those people find out what Stephens been up to with some of those girls.
its not a fetish its just that in northern Europe it can get really cold and energy costs a fortune so an extra layer of clothing even during strenuous activities helps save up some nice money!
Look, on the other points I agree, but they are all related to the fact that BADIK is undoubtedly a game of another level compared to AL, is much more ambitious, has a much larger cast. then comparing the final of a small game to an intermediate stage of a major one, it is normal that in the second case you have greater freedom
Maybe it's true that Chad is gay will be the only way to break out of the circle of fuck buddy.
I think that's the first time I heard that idea, and I like it.
so instead of going to San Diego she lied to her best friend & stayed in the city?
He hadn't heard from her for 6 months when he told the story to Bella, so she could have moved, for reasons.
Bty the way most here pretend like that the oth girls were(maya,sage or josy) virgin before mc. Nope they were notOh man wait until some of those people find out what Stephens been up to with some of those girls.
. Murder is committed everywhere, the question is which killer you want to let go. first will be simple people, which did it for fun like sage,maya or josy on ther other hand we have sluts so they did so they can get free tuition. shitty but true.This kind of a guy get chose for marriage by girls and for fucking they chose bad boys.
That thing is out of question buddy there is no love path with sage. mc and sage first make out in sage room and sage inner thoughts- If he can't do they why can't I, that will teach him(chad) a lesson.
