I am just curious why the MC always use light armor and basic weapon without attachments? We are talking about year of 2077, where is the advanced heavy armors and technological weapons? Is the MC out of money to buy some good equipaments?

The game is set in 2042, not 2077. The tech can't be too much more advanced than present-day stuff, and I believe Chapter 1 establishes that the MC hasn't been taking many jobs recently, so his fund to buy equipment is probably not that much at this point.

His ex wife, who is supposedly elite fighter like him, goes in skimpy outfit... micro shorts and revealing top... Tex goes like a character from Brokeback Mountain or My Personal Idaho... MC at least looks like a futuristic soldier or something...

I'd hardly call MC's choice of attire "futuristic" the guy dresses like a cartel sicario with a black sweater on minus the body armor. PG doesn't over do it with attire and keeps it casual.

I have wondered about this before. He makes no mention of having any sort of implant and usually dresses very casual other than his helmet during missions.
Ingame i like to think this is his personal preferences plus lack of money to buy more expensive equipament.:LOL:
Out of game i get the feeling maybe this is a way to make Jake, Sonya, Tex more distinct as characters. :unsure:

Ya I wouldn't mind seeing the MC dress up for combat in more beefed up gear. Chandra had kind of a good point when she goes back to his apartment in like Chapter 2 or 3 and says she expected to see guns everywhere, etc. I would definitely like to see him have more gear and wear some cooler heavy armor when going into battle.

Not just more distinctive, but also more defined. The faceless ghosts get bulky armor to make them look disposable but still a bit intimidating. Tex gets the cowboy look to suggest he's eccentric but rugged. The MC gets simple clothes to appear relatable and outmatched. (And to explain how he can take them off so fast if a femme fatale stops shooting, of course!)

In game, I can see two possibilities. The first, as you mentioned, is that he no longer has money for the good stuff so he prefers to maximize his mobility. The armor on the ghosts doesn't seem to do much against his gun.

The second is that he actually is wearing armor, it's just sophisticated enough to look mundane. In this scenario, he bought it back when he had a regular income and spent extra avoid attracting the attention of bulky combat armor. It probably wouldn't stand up to heavy ordinance, but could deflect the small stuff; his missions seemed to be more about kidnapping rather than straight up combat, after all.

Given that we know he still has access to some apparently cutting edge munitions I'm inclined to believe the second option, but either option is plausible.

can someone tell me how good this vn is on a scale of 1-10
A perfect ten !! I definitely recommend you to play it ASAP or you can wait for Ch.8 to pop up this month. If u never gave it a shot, look on pornhub for some dudes like JohannesGaming, MisterDoktor, JoyStickCinema, xxxninjas, LoveSkySan69 etc. they do walkthrough vids of porn games and u can check out the content to see if u like it. Gotta keep informed, right ??:WeSmart:

But seriously now, you can't go wrong with this game or this dev. I also recommend Depraved Awakening, his last game. DA was a great game but COBD is a masterpiece.

Have fun playing both games and consider supporting Philly with a positive comment/review, constructive criticism or subscribe to his Patreon page !!;)(y)

Other thing he said he was thinking of is an Indiana Jones-type adventure mixed with some Lovercraftian elements.
Well fuck, there goes my next game.

EDIT: I wish I was joking...

If that's your plan, you should continue development. There are many works across all media that are similar in concept, some nearly identical. Different creative perspectives can make for enjoyable experiences regardless of the relative budgets or "star power".

I'd be excited to see any developer tackle such a story concept. And while Philly may choose that idea for his next game (he hasn't given any direction yet on what's after CoBD), he won't be finished with this game for a good long while, giving you more than enough time to develop some momentum.
