This make absolutely no sense if you are not pursuing her one way or another. Why would he think this if every interaction they had were negative?
It's a coding error or some bug. Try starting a new game and see if you get the same result. You seem to forget that Philly's working alone on this game, and he also has his fair share of problems both with the game and RL he needs to deal with, so why not take the problem to his discord and ask the man himself to fix it, coz I don't think he reads the comments in this thread anymore ??

Did the dev just expect everyone to fall head over heels for Victoria? Because I found her non romance or spellbound path a big let down, and it doesn't even make much sense for the story.
Pretty much, yeah, coz storywise, someone with important info on Baynard like her is CRUCIAL to the success of their mission, which means she's waaay more than just a juicy fat ass and 2 big tits this time. Let's not forget that she was Meredith's right-hand woman and can easily 'convince' motherfuckers with or without her augment powers to let her in the building, so a silent infiltration is a MASSIVE advantage, especially when the enemy has a damn Red Moon on their side.

There's no option to tell her to shove her offer up her ass
You tell her to do that metaphorically and the Red Moon might literally shove something up MC's ass. Don't forget that she saved him from certain death a few times even on the Spellbound path, so you might wanna tone it down with the hate and replay the game a few times first before posting. Victoria realizes she was just Meredith's lap dog and wants out of the game after seeing how crazy she and the ppl she works for really are, that's why the sudden change of heart. She'll help the MC even he treats her like shit, BUT don't be surprised if she stabs him in the back for that treatment, coz duh, everybody has their best interest in mind. On her love path, even Gloria admits she trusts her coz she feels Vic legitimately changed and wants to right all 'her' wrongs, so she has no reason to betray them, given that her ass is also in danger.:WeSmart:

He default says he trusts her, no option to say something like "I don't trust her, but she's our only shot" or similar.
If you have enough relationship points with her, she has no reason to betray him, if you don't, Gloria will also say she don't trust her, but she has no other choice than to cooperate with them, so until Baynard is taken down, your MC's ass is safe. And if she wanted to kill him, she would've let the Red Moon do it. Why would she save the MC if she always wanted to betray and kill him anyway ??:WaitWhat: It's ok if you don't like her character, or her proportions, or shit, that's a matter of taste, but she's very important to the story, and I bet she'll play an important role in winning the final battle and taking Baynard down, so treating her like shit on the Spellbound path is bound to bite you in the ass down the line.

This doesn't make any sense in the context you quoted???? Anyhow, I never said she wouldn't be useful or shouldn't be integral to the main story. My problem is the writing is bad when you have a neutral relationship with her.

You tell her to do that metaphorically and the Red Moon might literally shove something up MC's ass. Don't forget that she saved him from certain death a few times even on the Spellbound path, so you might wanna tone it down with the hate and replay the game a few times first before posting.

Oof, sorry I was ciritical of your waifu :rolleyes:

My problem was about one specific route, so no I don't have to replay it before being allowed by you to post here. Sorry I hurt your feelings...

If you have enough relationship points with her, she has no reason to betray him, if you don't, Gloria will also say she don't trust her, but she has no other choice than to cooperate with them, so until Baynard is taken down, your MC's ass is safe.

I never said I hated her, and I was quite clear I'm not on the spellbound path so idk what you are going on about. I have no problem with Victoria, her character, writing, or place in the story. My problem is quite specifically the writing in one particular path, where the circumstances of her joining you is not well made. Almost like the dev treated it like an afterthought, because he expected the majority to be involved with Victoria somehow.

Dunno, never went for a neutral approach with her. I recommended you to start a new game to see if you get the same results, tho Philly is usually one of the devs who hardly screw up players' saves for minor 'improvements', so Idk... it was just a suggestion. Try following the WT, maybe you'll get the results you hoped for.

This doesn't make any sense in the context you quoted???? Anyhow, I never said she wouldn't be useful or shouldn't be integral to the main story. My problem is the writing is bad when you have a neutral relationship with her.
You never said that, and I never said or implied that you did, but I just told you why Philly would expect ppl to "fall head over heels" for her, as you yourself said. She's a very important part of the story, and whether you decide to pursue her romantically, just hate-fuck her to take your anger out on her instead of Meredith and the higher ups at Baynard:WeSmart:, or just keep it neutral/professional/whatever with her, she's a very important asset in taking Baynard down. That's why the MC asks for her help, no matter if you on the love or spellbound path. And if the writing seems bad to you in certain parts of the story, it's coz Philly works alone on the game, and coding can be a bitch sometimes, but future updates will fix that.

Oof, sorry I was ciritical of your waifu :rolleyes:
Sorry I hurt your feelings...
Don't worry, I'll survive somehow, and the fact that 'my' waifu is just a fictional female character in a porn game helps a lot.:ROFLMAO:

I never said I hated her, and I was quite clear I'm not on the spellbound path so idk what you are going on about. I have no problem with Victoria, her character, writing, or place in the story.
Let's see what you really think about her in the spoilers below... And if you have no problem with her character, why 'apologize' for being to critical of her ??:whistle:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I can see a lot of 'indifference' or whatever you feel about her there.:p

My problem is quite specifically the writing in one particular path, where the circumstances of her joining you is not well made. Almost like the dev treated it like an afterthought, because he expected the majority to be involved with Victoria somehow.
Joke aside, we can both agree on this, but there's 2 or 3 chapters left, so maybe this misunderstanding will be fixed in the those last updates. I personally don't mind this lil hiccup for the reasons already mentioned above and in my last reply, but you should tell Philly about it in his discord if you wanna get a conclusive answer.

Uhm, yeah? Pretty much. I don't see how finding her non-romance path a letdown, or missing drama/catharsis when she switches sides equates to hate :unsure:
I only tried her worst path (the assault) to see if it would change anything, it didn't. It's not something I did or wanted on my main playthrough.

Hi, is the next update near or is it going to take a few months?

I plan to try this one out but would hate it if a new update suddenly drops.

Good renders, but a pretty mediocre story.
Perhaps for AVN 3D games this game is the pinnacle in terms of narrative design, but otherwise everything is written at the level of some second-rate cyberpunk fan fiction. The world is quite banal. The usual corporate battles, the usual conspiracies, the usual human struggle against the system.
Of course, I'm not saying that the game was something on the level of Deus Ex with a unique post-renaissance world, but it's just an ordinary novel with ordinary heroes and ordinary conflict.
As for the girls, it's better here, but they still seem formulaic and sometimes flat. But what the author has surpassed everyone in is working with color. No one knows how to combine colors so cool and clever.
You are obviously not looking to make any friends here in this forum, are you? Take your gameplay elsewhere. We LOVE this game here. Adventure ever on, Phat:mad::poop:

In my opinion, the story is more than good enough by AVN standards. In fact it's probably in the top tier of AVN storytelling. After all, we aren't exactly talking proper big-time authors writing novels for a living.

Care to share the name of another cyberpunk AVN with a better story so we can all enjoy it? I'm sure all of us wouldn't mind another good one.

Yeah... the ratings thread is for your shitty comment. This is the fan boy section and you just took a major shit on our concessions stand. So, don't be surprised when we don sanitary gloves and fling all of your shit right back at you.
:FacePalm::FacePalm::FacePalm::FacePalm::FacePalm::FacePalm::FacePalm::FacePalm::FacePalm::FacePalm:
Chill out, Phat. Ten's criticism, especially the tone, was entirely reasonable, even if most of us don't necessarily agree with his viewpoint. And hell no, this isn't the fanboy section. You need to seriously adjust your expectation if that's what you think.

yeah was he know how to mix colors , above aberage T.T. THOSE ARE RENDERS with meat , one of the best around here.
no suprice the number of fans be high, other lassy, etc, etc developers should learn one or 2 things from this one.

I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to say, but if you are suggesting to try his first game DA, then let me just say that DA is NOT a cyberpunk genre game so no, it's entirely irrelevant to what I asked asked Ten-man for - a better cyberpunk AVN.

If you are saying DA was better, then also no, not only is it entirely irrelevant, but most people will disagree with you on that.

Anything I say will be a guess because I don't even think Philly knows for certain and he isn't committing to a date to avoid the crying and whining if it takes him a week or a month longer than expected. I don't blame him...

However, I will tell you my opinion and what I am hoping... Popular opinion is that there are two remaining chapters, 13 and 14, possibly an epilogue or 14 may just be longer... All of Philly's renders and animations, characters, backgrounds, in world items are custom. Philly doesn't seem to use any stock resources at all. He'll start with a preset mesh, maybe but all his textures are custom works of art. So, it can take a solid five to six months to see a new chapter. So, given that the last update posted early September, late February or some time in March '23 would be the next logical date to expect chapter 13 with the final chapter possibly available by end of August or early September of '23. TBH, I am just hoping to see chapter 13 by my birthday, end of March and the final chapter before next Thanksgiving.

I have followed CoBD since chapter two or three... Sometimes the chapters are released as little as four months apart but more often than not, it's a five and a half to six month cycle.

Short answer for completion speculation... sometime in the next 10 months, I hope.

Adventure ever on my friend, Phat:cool:(y)

Can someone tell me what depravity does in this game? like more kinky stuff on sex or what?
You actually answered your own question, my friend. :) While not as intrinsic to CoBD as it was in Depraved Awakening, depravity leads to the more kinky options like anal and bdsm.

Adventure ever on, Phat:devilish:(y)

Just to be sure, are the yellow lines supposed to represent actual Ch12 or guesstimate Ch13 numbers? The legends on the side says Ch12.
Correct, the dashed yellow lines represent the static/animation count from the previous chapter, in this case Chapter 12. I figure the most recent update is usually the best comparison when trying to estimate the final size of a new update. In CoBD's case in particular, chapters have been fairly consistent (~900-1000 statics and 50 renders). So the previous chapter would normally be a very reliable benchmark, though as I've said it's possible the chapters will get longer as we approach the finish line.
