Well, it's not a 'porn game' either, BaDIK is the definition of an AVN, with sex scenes as bonuses.Is it just me or would the game be better without mom's diary? That shit is fucking depressing which is not great in a porn game
True, but it's still fucking depressing and and overshadows the sex scenes somewhatWell, it's not a 'porn game' either, BaDIK is the definition of an AVN, with sex scenes as bonuses.
The story and characters are the main reasons this game is that popular, not the sex scenes.
It adds to the mystery of MCs backstory, I suppose it will connect many dots in the future.True, but it's still fucking depressing and and overshadows the sex scenes somewhat
Never played acting lessons. Is it really that bad?It adds to the mystery of MCs backstory, I suppose it will connect many dots in the future.
And, well, there's only 3 scenes about the diary... I know it didn't make me depressed, more curious than anything.
Honestly, if you're depressed by that, I'll reach into an hypothetical future, but the next 2 seasons could be very bleak and depressing at various points, DPC is the creator of Acting Lessons after all.
No, not bad, unless you think depressing is bad, I know it isn't the case for me.Never played acting lessons. Is it really that bad?
Is it worse than someone completely innocent, full of life dying in childbirth and then having to go back and view their memories?No, not bad, unless you think depressing is bad, I know it isn't the case for me.
In fact, one of my top5 LIs in all the AVNs I played is in that game (Melissa).
But let's just say at some point it becomes -very- dark.
Yeah, absolutely. First game I cried, and I'm not even ashamed to say it.Is it worse than someone completely innocent, full of life dying in childbirth and then having to go back and view their memories?
Jesus this guy should be a writer rather than maker of porn games. Depressing shit seems to be something he loves.Yeah, absolutely. First game I cried, and I'm not even ashamed to say it.
That's why, to me, the only thing that saddens me so far in BaDIK is Quinns backstory, but there's nothing that comes near Acting Lessons... so far.
If you get the chance, download it, you'll understand
Well, he is a writer, that's why it's called an Adult Visual Novel, the best AVNs have great storytelling and writing. Of course not all of them deal with complex stuff, but DPC likes that, and I can't blame him, I love it too. That's why you've seen plenty of people theorizing about what's incoming, why this thread has over 200k posts (it's crazy). Otherwise people would play it and no one would remember it.Jesus this guy should be a writer rather than maker of porn games. Depressing shit seems to be something he loves.
You know what I mean. Having story doesn't stop it from being a porn game. It only makes it better, though I wish there was more management in it. Rebuilding the mansion was probably the most fun part of the game.Well, he is a writer, that's why it's called an Adult Visual Novel, the best AVNs have great storytelling and writing.

Well, there is management, you manage your paths and your choices, that's why I don't use mods/cheats, I want to manage my MC the way I want, but like in life, deal with the consequences. And, I still disagree, it's not a porn game, it's an AVN, changing the story through choices we make, with everything in-between, character arcs and all, that's what I love about games like those. The sex scenes I honestly don't really care about them, they're alright but those I see as bonuses, nothing more, winning over those LIs is what turns me on.You know what I mean.

I agree with everything you said except for the management part. Choosing paths isn't really management. I also like consequences, but only the ones I want. That's why cheats are so nice to have.Well, there is management, you manage your paths and your choices, that's why I don't use mods/cheats, I want to manage my MC the way I want, but like in life, deal with the consequences.

But that's just my humble opinion, to each their own man
I once thought like that too, when I was way younger than I am now (not trying to be condescending), of course I mod some games like Skyrim, Fallout, Cyberpunk and the like, to add to the game though, not for cheating, but AVNs ?I agree with everything you said except for the management part. Choosing paths isn't really management. I also like consequences, but only the ones I want. That's why cheats are so nice to have.
Real life is boring though, both the girls and the sex. That's why you have games like this. Why deal with negative consequences when you don't have to?I once thought like that too, when I was way younger than I am now (not trying to be condescending), of course I mod some games like Skyrim, Fallout, Cyberpunk and the like, to add to the game though, not for cheating, but AVNs ?
I thought, well, I can't cheat in real life, or I can but have to deal with consequences, but I'm not a cheater, so, why would I cheat in a game like that ? Also, I'm an avid reader since I'm young, so to me, I treat AVNs (quality ones) as an adult comic, kinda.
You can learn from consequences, especially those you have no control over.
I don't want to push too far, those are just the way I think, like I said, to each their own, as long as you're having fun, that's all that matters man.
BaDIK is awesome, can't wait for Episode 9 to get out.
You can be just neutral for M+J, no need to dip in the Chick spectrum; my throuple run has the MC practically all the time with DIK status and neutral affinity, with no issues.and if you want to try the throuple with Maya/Josy, you have to be at least Neutral Chick before the choice (because of Maya, Josy alone really is neutral), otherwise you're fucked,
Thanks for the clarification, that's not what I did read at the time so I didn't take chances and was Neutral-Chick. Fortunately it's pretty easy to maneuver that affinity bar, up to the major choices.You can be just neutral for M+J, no need to dip in the Chick spectrum; my throuple run has the MC practically all the time with DIK status and neutral affinity, with no issues.
I remember my second playthrough, my first chick run, a save i had back from first release and didn't use any WT.Thanks for the clarification, that's not what I did read at the time so I didn't take chances and was Neutral-Chick.
