VN Ren'Py Completed City of Broken Dreamers [v1.15.0 Ch. 15] [PhillyGames]

[RC-1138 Boss]

While Chandra may not have been a potential romantic interest from the start she was heavily involved in the plot from the begining. Kleo also has been added to the plot in a more organic way, going from a virtual date to being Sonja's partner.
That is quite different from Sasha being shoehorned into events after her role as the hacker's kidnapper ended.

Venus is definitely more interesting after she starts "malfunctioning", to the point i wonder what will happen to her on that path.

 

[Hawky1984]

Anyone can relay to Philly that we don't want Venus scenes anymore?

I've never tried it, but when you get on the path where Gloria breaks Venus, is she gone from the game? Or is she just fixed by the next scene? Honestly, that one scene with the 2 optional modes would have been enough. I'm tired that every convo we get with another character, she pops the door open and she be like. Wanna gibe me $1000 for another scene? Can't i pay her $1000 and at least have her in soldier mode so she can take those guns and help me fight the cop robot? She can be a doctor on a whim, so why not extra firepower with a big triple D protection shield for my character?

And as for the people complaining about Lack of Chandra scenes as well as Sasha is a forced character comments, remember that Chandra too was a side character with no relevant story that ended up forced on us. But Philly made that side story about Abby, her spying on her mom, so there's always hope for Sasha. I didn't play this game for a long time because the main picture to sell the game i saw on most sites was that Chadra picture with the neon yellow light dress from the start of the game in the club, which was a big turn off for me, so if i can get over that, y'all can get over that my irrelevant side character might get a forced scene too.

.....*otherbullshityoupostedhere*

Really. You're saying drop Venus and then you're saying others shouldn't be complaining about a lack of content for Chandra because it's a turnoff for you? Yeah, maybe let the dev just continue his excellent work so far. One can only hope he ignores your dumbass posts.

Further scenes with Venus will most likely be to the detriment of other characters screen time. Wouldn't you mind sacrificing events with Victoria, Shanlon and Katie for the sake of Venus lewd content?
Unfortunately, having to make sacrifices is unavoidable in the CoBD case due to the dev's human power restraint.

It really depends on what Venus' future scenes are. If they give us insight into the characters (Venus, the MC or even one of the other girls), that's a worthwhile use of Philly's time. If it helps establish some plotpoint or setting details, that's probably worth it too. If its a memorable, innovative scene in its own right, that could also work. (Ideally, it would be all three.)

The problem comes when Venus gets more scenes that are functionally equivalent to scenes we already have: more of the same sex, in the same location, without shedding new light on anything. That's the rut several of the girls have been in lately (Katie being the most glaring example), and Venus is very vulnerable to it. Her malfunctions in Chapter 8 are a good way to avoid that rut - in theory. The problem is that the malfunctions are optional, so Venus' scene was 80% same old with a 20% interesting garnish if you were lucky enough to order it in advance.

Going forward, I'd rather give Venus more unique scenes, even if that means they only trigger in runs where Gloria wrecked her. (Mind you, there are other characters I'd rather see get scenes first; I'm just assuming Venus will get another scene eventually.)

Nope. Considering the girls tiers shared by a few users last week, far from it.


Mmmm... I don't know about that.
She's had the same number of sex scenes as Ellen for example, and only one more than Chandra and Katie.
Obviously, Vicky is going to be featured in a lot of scenes since she represents the other side of the story. It's her, Meredith, and little more. She has to be there to move the events forward with her participation from Baynard's POV.
On the other hand, the MC's side of the story included many female chars: doc, Ellen, Gloria, Chandra, Sonja... Each of them is bound to receive less time since they're all on the same boat so to speak.

the tiers that users created last week ara laughable and pathetic, classifying girls like Vic and Shanlon in D/F tiers as basically garbage.. is just the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Better ignore that stuff

 

[KanyeT]

So that preview with Shanlon points at some new relevant info being shared with Jake, but I'm 99% convinced it won't involve any sex scene with her. Firstly, it's too soon after that gigantic threesome scene. Secondly, it's in broad daylight and she's in her own jacuzzi at home.

I'm sure one sex scene will be with Chandra for 2 reasons:
1) It's been ages since she had some fun, the poor child.
2) Remember that old preview from December or January that Philly eventually removed from ch 9? The one with Chandra lying on a reception desk?

Now, it's time to hypothesize about the protagonists of the other 2 naughty scenes:
My candidate number 1 is Victoria.
My candidate number 2 is Sasha.
There might be room for surprises as usual.

I think we'll see Chandra, I think we'll see Victoria, and I think we'll see Katie.

If there is time for extra, I think we will get the first scene with Sasha too.

 

[MilfMaster90]

I figured I'd also make a tier list. However I had to add some tiers to fit Meredith in.

yikes, you created a new account to rank most of Philly's work as C... you should try other games here on F95 and characters like Meredith will become an A for you.

Why is no one willing to provide save files?

 

[Canto Forte]

We are all deep into playing this game .. who has time 4 dilly dallying ?

Why is no one willing to provide save files?

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

Because you can skip dialogue in a matter of minutes. Besides how can anyone be sure of what choices you want? Go play the game instead of crying for saves, it is faster.

Several members did assess Shanlon and Victoria lower than or equal to (!) the sex bot, whereas Meredith, a polite and humane (towards her loyal employees) character, was attributed to (!) a non-human being tier without explanations.

Tierlists are cancer with metastases in any thread: never relevant always 100% biased, they switch discussion topics from a relevant VN to personal preferance mumbo jumbo.

This single render with Meredith contains more of cinematic dramatic and immersion value than the entire extremely overrated City of Milfs. Notice how Meredith gives an impression of a real human being and not of an artificially engineered overexaggerated and implausible eye candy.

These tier creators most likely never even supported Philly, instead of casting their vote in polls on Patreon they share their horrible taste here lol. Even if a character is not for your taste you can't rank it so low because everything looks great in this game, not like those brown teeth characters from other f95 games and Meredith is kinda a good looking woman for her age.

Well,if we were to compare cobd characters with other games it's true,however i feel like people that are making these tiers are rating them in a league of their own,not trying to compare it with other games.
great render btw

TF?!

Who's we and who the fuck are you? VN Jesus or something?

GTFO

Actually, there is a lot of save files posts back in this same thread. Scroll back some pages and you will find it.

 

[DavidCSR]

I played the Steam version of this a couple of years ago and it was brilliant. It was the first VN I had played, that was exciting and exhilarating and felt as though you were the pivotal character in an action movie!
Looking forward to seeing how this has developed!

 

[zack_from_office]

it seems, the game turns into "wanna be shitty harem plot"

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

That is nowhere near the truth.

 

[Real Kreten]

I wasn't rating the work; if I wanted to do that I'd post something in the review section. I may have misunderstood what these tier-lists are for. I was quite sure their purpose was to rate the characters by how much you care about them, not how well designed they are. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
I think this game is easily the best on this site (I'm rating based on render quality, story and relatability of characters), but that shouldn't required me to want to screw every character in this game.
I would even say it's a sign of Philly's good work that I feel so strongly about some of the characters in this game. But to each their own, right?




I'm actually interested in other people's personal preferences. They sometimes come with other points of view. A fresh perspective on things I may not have payed enough attention to, you know?

No right way to do tier list is there. Some make it in the way you do, and some make it in other ways. You are the only one, who can determine what is your way, but other can write comment according to their opinion.

Some people for example don’t think, that Chandra is best girl. They have right to their opinion, no mater how wrong it is, as long as we are all civil about it.

 

[beef-devourer]

Well I get your apprehension, it's not baseless:

Certain characters passed away namely male characters Henry and Tex​

Jake gathered a squad of 5 loyal broads (Sonja, Gloria, Katie, Ellen, Betty) + a reserve unit of 2 (Chandra, Abby) on standby​

Chapter 10 out of probably 14 ones is on the line​

​

Nevertheless I believe in Philly that he will be able to pull it off without shitty harem plot.

 

[Nulldev]

You can't use this 3 words next to each other: harem plot shitty
