Finally unlcoked everything i'm planning on before the guide comes out. Some thoughts on the episode.
In general I thought things were fine, the panty party is great. The BJ contest is awesome. With Heather, Bianca and Zoey all giving a great performance. The Bianca spank scene is super hot, as is her on the snow bike and the hot tub. Getting her on the DIK path will be great, as a temptation on the Bella and Jill path she will be hard to resist. I liked the Nick story line, and the Quinn plot is interesting. Not sure what the point of MC saying he is ride or die and then her not taking him for revenge is though.
My main concerns which have been growing since episode 8 are the number of forked paths. The basic paths I can think of right now are
I'm sure there are loads more not to mention variations and combinations to set up scenes later. I know the others path this episode can be done in 2 runs, but you essentially have to fix Nicole and Lily on seperate paths. Same with Sarah and Melanie, not to mention Quinn. You can only get a unique scene with Cinderella if you don't make out with other girls. The Bella panty party is fun, but the fact none of the girls are at the main party is kind of dulll especially since the Bella party basically only has two variations. I think sometimes Pink forgets that he is 40 hours into this story and finding you need to go back 6 episodes to to unlock a lewd scene now isn't fun.
That brings me on to the ball ache of the party planner this episode. Now I like the mini games in general, and I think the party planner is fun. (the maths game this episode got to complicated for it's own good). The problem with the party planner is that some 6.5 multipliers will get you an A and some will get you an S. That sort of margin is frustrating, especially when it's boardline impossible to get 6.75 with some lay outs if you don't have certain resources to hand.
At the end of the day, 15 months was a long time to wait for three great lewd scene and several good ones, but at least half be totally forgetable.
