Ren'Py Big Brother: Another Story Rebuild [v0.06.01] [Aleksey90]

[dwalsh]

I call them war, snitch and ass licker

Personally I group snitch and ass licker under "I don't care". Once they don't affect my path too much to each their own.

One day I might give them a try for the extra scenes, but currently I am not interested. I am not opposed to "sharing" content, but I am also not a big fan of it. As long as it fits the story I'm ok with either.
The problem is the character. Usually the "competition" are written as nice guys, I just can't cope with a slimeball like this one. The ones who create fan art for him also often want to see him as an abusive char and if it goes in that direction, I'm out anyway.

I play other games with sharing, NTR and a host of other fetishes. My problem is the same, the Eric character is toxic, parasitic and devoid of any sense of decorum. I can't do that even for curiosity. Death to Eric, may someone shove poison evy up his ass one day and plug it.

NICE! I always felt there needed to be more Eric in the original game or at least give people the choice for there to be more Eric. He needs to be around more so that when you finally eliminate him, it is that much sweeter down the road after he has done way more things with the females. Getting rid of Eric too soon would be like killing off Darth Vader at the end of Episode 4. Then what are you supposed to do?

You prefer true friendship path then. I played the fake friendship path where I keep his paws off the girls except Ann. So far I'm satisfied manipulating him.

Nah sounds like he might be on the fake friendship too. I won't lie I get jealous of the extra scenes that route has sometimes. But I'll take dealing with anything or anyone on anyday rather than dealing with Eric another day. It's been what almost two years and I feel like I've been released from prison. Not going back there. The last frictional character that drew such a distasteful emotion out of me was Frodo..... And I'd pick him over Eric still.

Have never tried any of the BB's but, after reading some of this thread.
I'm very tempted to try this with the primary objective of cock-blocking Eirc, just out of spite.

Frankly Eric doesn't bother me anymore because he's simply off my path so I can get to enjoy this version more. I promised myself to stop talking about him but I just wanted to clarify something for you.
Its mostly just a few people still banging on their drums for Eric content (I can say most assuredly it's not the majority). Aleksey has decided to try to please them by continuing with more content on the Friend / Fake Friendship path it seems, that's not an issue for me. Once again not on my path so.... There. Unfortunately the minority will still bang (louder I'm afraid) their drums for content. Even DS in his reboot went with the majority this time and didn't even bother with Eric on the Kate or Max path. Whether Alexsey is shooting himself in the foot with this only time will tell because the more time he puts in creating content for the Eric fans the less time he has to complete content for the rest of us. We'll see how it goes.

I get that you don't like it, and perhaps the majority don't either, though you have no way of knowing how many pass the game by for the lack.

Your attitude toward people who are disappointed or hoping to change Dev's mind is a bit condescending though. You act like we're just bothersome annoyances, banging our drum, and pouting that the content we want is cut. But like, the game came out with this content. It presented it as though it would be a part of the game.

People supported it because they liked the content. They are no different than you in that. You just got your way. Until the Dev says stop, people are just as in the right to push for the content they want as you are to do so for your preferred content.

Just my two-cents though. No harm meant, more just a heads up that your tone could be taken pretty bad by some people.

Well, the pro Eric faction is small, but sadly some of them are very loud and annoying. I don't know if you were here when it was announced that Eric will get kicked out from the house, that was ... awful. "whiny children" is a nice way to describing the people who posted and ranted then.
And they keep mocking those who don't want Eric around, like those could not stand the competition, should grow up and all sorts of things. And of course they keep repeating that the game is all about Eric (no, it isn't, Eric has a rather small role, even on friendship path) and is "dead, Dead, DEAD!!!!!!!" without Eric.

Yes, that sounds very much like a bothersome annoyance and I would be glad if that faction would just play something else with as many Erics in it as they want.
The BB Renpy Remake has a whole Eric path that uses fan art as graphics.

edit: gramma fix

It's unfortunate that that was all you derived from my comment. I'm too tired to continue this, the character is over in my path so I'm good now.

Moin Nemo56,
Eric doesn't interest me either, the guy can go to hell for all I care.
I am always at war with Eric and always eliminate it.
I care about good game content in the future.

I can see what you mean. I don't see that stance from pro-NTR people anytime recently, but I get that if those upset were being rude or abusive then one would hope that does not start back up.

I would argue though that I saw a lot of that same behavior from the pro-vanilla crowd anytime anything NTR was put into the game

 

[kgirlffx]

It's unfortunate that that was all you derived from my comment. I'm too tired to continue this, the character is over in my path so I'm good now.

Fair enough, but were the situation to be reversed, and NTR became the main path, you and most vanilla people would probably be just as upset or drum banging. And yet you would probably feel in the right to do so.

My main point is that I wish people would be more supportive of things not exclusively for themselves. I for one dislike all Max content. I very much dislike the model, too childish, and I have zero interest in seeing him with any of the characters. I support the development of it though because I know a lot of people love it and I want them to enjoy the game as well.

But, the reverse seems to not be true. Your crowd dislikes Eric content. But instead of supporting it anyway and just saying that part is not your thing, most either actively hate on it, try to stop it, or get upset when it is developed.

Take this all with a grain of bias on my end. I've seen a lot of good NTR games drop the angle or die out due to vanilla people losing their collective minds over the kink even existing. And when you consider how few the games are with any good NTR in comparison to harem or vanilla games . . . . that the vanilla crowd tend to always kill them off . . . . . perhaps I'm just butthurt over.

But yeah, it is frustrating when something NTR people put our hopes on and was super looking forward to falls through, again, and everyone just kind of dunks on us and cheers that that happened or writes it off as just being sort of an annoyance.

kgirlffx I think you should read this.

That's the easiest question I've gotten in weeks. If it's too much for me too bear I move on.

That's the easiest question I've gotten in weeks. If it's too much for me too bear I move on.

And you would be able to do so easily as the vast majority of games cater to your preference. Easy to just move on when you have dozens of new options to give a go.

And as for "I play other games with sharing, NTR and a host of other fetishes. My problem is the same, the Eric character is toxic, parasitic and devoid of any sense of decorum. I can't do that even for curiosity. Death to Eric, may someone shove poison evy up his ass one day and plug it. "

Sounds to me like you just don't really like NTR. NTR has different levels, but a typical NTR is having your romantic interest taken. Not shared. Not willingly given. Taken. If you think the Eric character is especially toxic, your scales is pretty light.

The constant push from your side that no NTR path, even if have the option to hard shut that path down, can exist because it's toxic or you hate the character ruins games for people with that preference for no real reason. Can you give me a single reason why NO Eric NTR path can exist for anyone to take, a reason that's not just you not wanting any time ever spent on anything outside of your specific fetish?

Like, if you remove Eric from your game, then why does it bother you if others don't? Honestly curious, as to me it really just looks like a selfish desire to only have content made for you and you only. *When I say "you" I do not mean you specifically, more people as a whole who are anti-NTR path*

Know what? You win. There are two out three routes with Eric in it still, I'm gonna stop here, play my route and wish you happy gaming. I'm out of energy to continue talking about that character.
