I believe a lot of people were constantly at him for this being a BaD clone (Which it really isn't) and the game was not in a great shape prior the extensive updates and reworks. I tell ya, Joshy... This place has quite a few religious zealot maniacs who don't like AVNs set in a similar setting to their favourite. They get extremely territorial.
It’s definitely “we have Being a DIK at home” clone energy but that’s not a reason to be a jerk.
I agree it's similar in setting, but different in other areas. Both the conversation and art styles are very different, and both have their benefits.
In writing, Badik has a more serious tone, whereas CK has a more carefree tone. That's not to say Badik doesn't have moments of levity or CK doesn't have seriousness, but overall each games' scenes tend to follow. It's like comparing Timothy Dalton's Bond to Roger Moore's Bond, some will prefer one over the other. Myself, depends on my mood.
In art style, the girls in Badik are typically heavily made-up, and dressed provocatively to match. The girls in CK are typically dressed in a non-descript way, and with a few exceptions have a more natural makeup style. In this category I prefer the CK look, girls who actually look like 'the girl next door' as opposed to 'the stripper who lives next door'.
i really don't understand there is collage kings 1 and 2 and there is act 1 and act 2 and before rework ? i just downloaded College Kings [ACT 1 v1.3.17] should i play this and act 2 or what ?
Yeah it's confusing as hell how they notated the versions. IIRC, "before rework" was the original game, went up to and beyond Europe trip, then ended when you have a fight with Tom on the rainy street.
Post rework, I believe Act1 corresponds to "ck1", whereas Act2 and beyond are "ck2". Act1 post rework contains nearly everything that was in the original "before rework", I think they just tweaked the fight scenes? The download on the first page here for "Act2" also includes "Act3" - but you need to use the steam api thingie buried in this thread somewhere.
Long story short, I'd ignore the 'before rework' and download both Act1 and Act2, also use the steam api thing to unlock Act3.
