Hey guys, I've been away from the forum for a bit and I was wondering if this new update requires us to start a whole new game or not. I would look through the forum for replies but I'm avoid spoilers as much as possible.

No, you don't have to start all over again

nope didnt noticed her... but thats the reason why i do so many playthroughs (just started another one) there are just so many details you can easily miss... thanks for that.

I thought maybe she wasnt invited. Cause i think there is still tension between jill and her mother... as i can see it Jill never forgave her for abonding Lana. And i think Jill got many problems after her death... she said to bella after MC is gotten beat up by chad, that she just wanted to help the Mc like she wished somebody would have helped her once... so she was in need of help and didnt get any. And iam sure that has something to do with her sister and the blame she gave her mother for that.

So that the mother appeared at the recital is not a small thing.

I have a problem with the game, as soon as I finish seeing the results of the housework and talking to Rusty, when I finish talking with him the game closes, does anyone know why?

Ok, every time I do a run through and get to where they're cleaning the Pink Rose I get to the first screen where I'm supposed to pick up 4 things. I get 3/4 and can NEVER find the 4th thing. It's long enough between playthroughs that I don't rememeber how/where I found the 4th item and got past it. I got the tray and glass on the table adn the bottle under the blue chair but what's missing@

HELP!

Okay, I didn't read the replies in this thread, so I'm not sure of the general consensus regarding ep 8, but my personal opinion is that this might be the worst one. Not in terms of content, because there was a lot of good shit going on, but more so regarding the pacing. It seems rushed but also not rushed at the same time if that makes sense. Maybe DPC wanted more focus to go into the free roam area that her forgot other things.

Anyway, that ending... just wanna say I definitely saw that coming. Glad I was right. This game is starting to remind me of Intertwined lmao Also, Jill's mom and MC's mom. Knew it. Surprised MC didn't recognize Jill's house in the background of that pic. Unless I'm tripping and that was a different house.

I hope that in the future episodes Dpc will give us an option to cheat. I really cant see my massive dik MC not cheating on Sage if I chose her.

It seems to be a mild consensus that people feel the same way about the episode, personally I wouldn't say episode 8 is the worst but it's definitely not the best.

Once more I will quote ename's great effort post on the subject because not everyone has seen it but they should :Kappa: (y)

I've gone through Episode 8 with several different runs, and I think I've seen just about all there is to see without a guide. Now I need to sort out my thoughts on it.

This was definitely a large update. Yet somehow it feels extremely thin, as though the important parts were diluted by an unrelenting stream of high-gloss filler material. Worse, while several scenes were quite nice in and of themselves, the overall character/story progression was handled surprisingly gracelessly.

BaDIK hasn't felt this railroaded since Episode 4. Far too many of our choices were ignored or neutered, seemingly for no reason beyond a lack of imagination by DPC. The titular "crossroads" in the MC's relationships comes not as a natural result of our choices, nor even as the result of an external crisis a la Josy's arrival at the end of Episode 3. No, this crossroad is literally because the MC woke up one day and decided dating multiple girls was unworkable no matter what had been said before. The episode then abruptly ends before the MC can actually implement his decision, meaning there's a high likelihood we're going to be stuck doing this dance all over again as Season 3 unfolds.

As a result, my enthusiasm for Season 3 has diminished significantly. It feels like we're going to be stuck in endless loops as the main story is advanced drip by tiny drip. I've long wanted the MC to be able to commit to a single relationship, but that was always with the assumption that the game would branch sufficiently to reflect those differences. Between the ham-fisted "crossroads" and the revelations in the closing montage, I don't think that's going to happen anymore, and the rate at which it fails to happen is going to be glacially slow. That's not going to sit well as we wait 6+ months for the next installment to clean up this mess.

So yeah, overall I'm pretty down on Episode 8, and the game as a whole. Now let's look at the details, which means spoilers.

tl;dr Despite a lot of fun aspects, Episode 8 overall feels like a big step in the wrong direction and I'm no longer eager to play Season 3.
