The problem isn't giving attention to girls I don't like, it's the nature of the attention. The D&G sex scenes were essentially special renders: sexy shots of MC and girls acting out of character in unusual settings. But whereas the actual special renders in Episode 6 represented something like 2% of the overall static render count, the D&G sex scenes were a whopping 52% of the number of animated sex scenes in that episode (and a minimum of of 6% of the total animations, even if each D&G scene was only a single animation).Well, I don't compare it to Acting Lessons. .They only common thing is that they are both Renpy.
if you look at NTL Games, all of their 3 games is basically the same, surely with different story. But the same type of Milf, Harem, mini games, etc.
AL and Badik are vastly different. However I do admit I stopped caring about AL after a couple of chapter, the burden of playing it after Badik. It was just weak, in my opinion not even worth it to compare.
I went for a long Fucking long Rant , but I deleted it because in the end of the day, you right about one thing. We all have different Perspective.. what you might feel as a Waste of Time, others might find it fun, and vice versa.
I could say that , I don't care about Bella, Jade, Sandy, Envy, Mel, Sara, the list is long, and Every time When DPC work of a render or animation of them, I could consider it as a Waste of precious development Time . But would it be true ? or fair ? Probably not, in fact It would make me look really stupid
All I can say, Me Personally, stopped caring about seeing the Ending of the Game, I dont wait the next episode because it's one episode closer to solve the mystery, to the end. I probably won't even live long enough to see.
All is matter, if every new episode give me enough Fun or not ? and so Far it is always more Fun then its not. So a couple of Filler not really bother me. even if its Fucking Madam. Who know, may be She is indeed Tommy mother ?!
I think it will be noticeable, When or If, He hit a wall, and just try to stall the time because He doesn't know how to finish. But I don't think we are there Yet.
We will know, because the game will become, repetitive , boring , unoriginal and most of all Un-Fun
Well, after all, I just ended up with some Fucking ranting![]()
To me that's way too many resources to squander on random spank material.
But we never make any impact on the narrative. Zoey remains on good terms with Bret and Jonah (and possibly Jenna) regardless of what she does to Emma. Likewise, Zoey is out of money no matter what decisions we made along the way. The only things that change in San Diego are Zoey's relationship with Emma specifically, Emma's relationship with Bret (and that last one could easily be retconned if DPC wanted to). The lasting impression of the Interlude is entirely down to how Zoey decided to handle a crisis: lash out, or try to mend fences.the two are quite related, aren't they? Whether Zoey acted like Attila, spreading salt on the ground and not growing anything anymore, or whether she went back to MC while still theoretically being able to stay in San Diego
I kind of see it as a major choice, shaping the character but having (almost always) its own narrative importance
BaDIK definitely has a story: it's about the MC's coming of age, meeting his surrogate family and finding his place in the world. Season 1 worked well with that. We meet the cast, see the MC make some big decisions, get hurt and ultimately learn from the experience. The problem is that Season 2 got bogged down in sexy digressions that didn't advance the MC's story (or worse, devolved it).I almost feel the opposite about filler content in a game like this.
BaDIK isn't really going anywhere in particular. We have a bunch of random plot lines that are more of an interest than a driving factor, as it's the characters that carry the game.
This is like any good sit-com style tv show, where you tune in each week because you enjoy the characters and the hijinks they get up to. There's just a little bit more fucking in BaDIK.
In those kinds of shows, you're not champing at the bit to get to the end, it's all about the ride. I think BaDIK is more like that.
At this point, I don't even need an end to the game. I've loved the ride so far, and I hope to enjoy the few more years left in the game, but I don't really care what happens, it's more that I like how it happens.
And as far as filler content goes, where's the distinction between the mc going to a party (pretty much any party that's occurred so far, and the much awaited Halloween party) or the mc playing a game of DnG, or paying for a blowjob from the Madame?
The way I see it, all of the events in the game are filler. I don't even know what the main story is. If he's gonna end up with just one girl, then all of the other girls are fillers.
And while the sex scenes in DnG aren't "real", the fact that Sally is grossed out by the mc all the way through the campaigns is so much fun.
And even if this didn't happen for real in the game, it's fun thinking the mc is imagining it:
Also, I reckon even the Madame would be fine if she just had a personality. That scene, where Jade sits with the mc after class and opens her heart to him regarding her own troubles, made her so much more of an interesting character.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
So yeah, I don't mind any content in the game, as long as it's enjoyable, I don't need the story to progress, because what are we progressing to anyway?
Yes, we do get the MC leading the DIKs through their time in the wilderness, and that works quite well. But the MC's own story was a mess. We immediately back out of any apparent commitment to M&J, his relationship with Jill endures the miserable blackmail plot and ignores the implications of any involvement with Bella until the very end (if then), and Sage's path ping pongs back and forth between the MC embracing casual sex and insisting on a proper relationship. The Affinity system is now permanent, but the decisions themselves are as muddled as ever. And the MC remains utterly guileless, completely blindsided by who Sage's parents are despite knowing he was going to meet them and wanting to make a good impression. All of this culminates in a "crossroads" that felt completely disconnected from the events that proceeded it, then leads directly into Zoey's melodramatic return the instant the MC supposedly settles on what he wants out of his current life. That's less of an arc and more a scatter plot.
I say we'd be much better off if BaDIK kept a stronger sense of progress about the MC's maturity. That doesn't mean we can't have lots of sexy side content, just that such content should ultimately lead us to a better understanding of who the MC is. Too often DPC seems to look for loopholes that permit the MC to have his cake without being the kind of person who would obtain such a cake.
It gives the impression of padding not because DPC is out of ideas, but because he's purposely delaying the important content until the last minute to avoid ending the story. IMHO, of course.
