How can you even compare AL and Being a Dik?

Railroaded love interests, shit quality renders, 3 or 4 paths. It was nothing but a stepping stone and learning step for DPC.
because its a better STORY and because of that it literally changed the whole scene for AVNs. AL showed that somebody with passion and talent and drive can tell a good story with characters you care about even in a game with lewd scenes, and that they can do it in a reasonable time and on a budget.

BaDIK is now one of a plethora of games that are bloated beyond belief, have insane dev cycles for comparatively small progress per update, and that conveniently coincides with making an assload of money on Patreon due to the pay structure. it may have higher production quality in the visuals and in some characters, but its not unique in the same way that AL was.

I fail to see how AL is a better story. And Being a Dik is a college comedy mixed with drug dealer shenanigans. It makes people laugh and have thrills. Unlike whatever was AL.

Ask yourself one question: does Zoey want threesomes? Does she have a sexy ass mom you can fuck? What about red hair and big tits?
These all count as one question.

I think you know the answer ;)
Zoey doesn't trash talk Tyballs with a Fake account, Sage 1, Zoey 0. It is what it is. Found extra love for Sage in Jill Run on how she taught Jill do deal with pesky Exes.

do you fail to see how AL literally changed the game for AVNs? do you fail to see how many games copied THAT game and now BaDIK?? like for real, even if you dont like the game or story, you if you cant accept that the quality level DPC brought to this genre of games specifically because of AL, then whats the point of even trying to have a discussion with you at all?

AL while it was good in terms of story telling perspective, it was super heavy handed in the drama. Lets not forget to mention he torched some love interests, made another one a psychopath and punished you harshly if you decide to fuck around even if you weren't dating.

Furthermore, there wasn't a lot of branching, there was the Main Girl, Mel, Rena and the Psychopath.
While BAD has the Main Girls Path with additional branches if you cheated on those girls and then the other paths that will soon have more branches and taking the romance paths.

Its massive and while I appreciate such expansion, DPC doesn't know the limits and is doing a team's worth of work.
Like he has the 3 girls at the christmas party, expanded Tara's Lore, Carla, Bianca and now Cinderella like broooo.

Just because it was the pioneer in the genre doesn't make it better, it just makes it a pioneer. And I do appreciate that he made that game before and learnt valuable lessons on story writing, branching, not railroading without Player's choice.

feel like story is going anywhere
barely any plot moved that was relevant
and most of the stories remain where they were at end of previous chapter
Its fascinating to me, its like we play a different game entirely.

The episode that moved almost all relationships to the next level, had Zoey finally make her move, had multiple reveals to game long mysteries including ending the almost universally despised loan situation, the DIKs imploding, Tommy and Heather breaking up, the Masked girl from the Halloween party reveal, Sally, new hoes, Bianca route seeds, Quinn hitting rock bottom and probably going to the point of no return, ending with Bella's locked door finally getting opened...its somewhat called an episode where nothing happened and the plot is moving at snails pace. :WaitWhat:

I swear, people complain to complain at this point.
