Well, at a first guess I would say have the system reviewing the reviewers set up so that you need to have reviewed x amount of games and have received x amount of likes ( on your reviews) to be eligible to assess the review. That way you cut out the trolls and review bombers because, statistically, they won't put in the effort to get to that point and once they have it - They won't want to lose it.
Unfortunately tho while cutting those out it would be rife with overinflations from the opposite of review bombers - review pumpers - ala games where many toss out 5 stars lilberally and get cheered on by the sycophants.

I can't think of a way that would judge a reviewer's past while excluding both kinds of reviews; underinflated and overinflated.

A friendly reminder: The reworked Episode 2 will be released September 26th on Steam! So if anybody hasn't played the old version of Episode 2 and are curious to why people hate it so much, this is your last chance to try it before it's gone!

good the dev have not removed the Amber detective event about the finding Nora in the cabin case, there were some really hilarious dialogues and situations depending on the detective set you choose.
the other detective events were nowhere as funny so them getting axed or replaced are not a loss

Try part one. It's free on steam. If you like it, you may enjoy the rest, but as of right now, part one is definitely higher quality than anything you will find in part 2.

The boat murder mystery is included in part 1. Sorry, I meant CK 1 on Steam which is all of act 1 here. It ends with the return from Europe. I think the Europe trip is pretty fun, other than not spending much time with your GF if you have one, and not nearly enough sex scenes.
Oh yeah, I forgot, the original part 1 didnt even end promptly after the europe trip - it went far further until you have the fight with tom on the rainy night.

While I enjoyed the subsequent parts, I think you and others would agree they started to feel more like a series of vignettes, instead of an overarching story (e.g. Joining the frats, going to europe, etcetc)

Yeah, it isn't perfect
But I think we call all agree it's still a kick arse game
I can't really agree to that, though it certainly could have been one. All I feel is frustration, that it never quite became what it should have been. I suppose it might eventually get back on track, but after all this time, that's becoming more and more unlikely. :cry:

Ask again in a week after the revamp of College Kings 2 (called Act 2 here) Episode 2 is released. As it is now, College Kings 2 have been a mess. CK2 Episode 1 was good (some didn't like changes done to a couple of characters) but Episode 2 had new writers and was a disaster. That's why they have rewritten it and made new scenes for it while deleting some stuff that didn't work. When it comes to Episode 3, many skipped it because of Episode 2 but it's supposed to be much better. It will not be revamped.
College Kings 1 (called Act 1 here) is a solid experience and I recommend you try it. It's free on Steam. If you like it, try College Kings 2 after the revamp that will be released on September 26.

It all hangs on the revamp of Episode 2. If it bombs, the game is as good as dead, sadly. It still has some really good parts (sadly, my former favorite girl Lauren isn't one of them) so I'm, hoping for the best. I just hope they stop listening to the Patreons and stop trying to cater to the people who only cares about the sex scenes. That and giving new writers too much freedom is when it started to fail.

For those wondering about the size of the revamped Episode 2, it will be over twice the size of Episode 3 (and twice of old Episode 2). So they have really added a lot of new content.

I can't remember do I have to buy the revamped episode 2
Or is it free for people who already purchased it?

It is free for people who have already purchased it on Steam. The Patreon version will require an active subscription to download it and will be made available before the Steam version in order to release a Steam version without the bugs that they will find in the Patreon version.

In episode 3 when the naked lake scene part comes, Aubrey's relationship changes from boyfriend to friends out of nowhere and I don't understand how.

I tried to make other decisions but the same thing happened.

How do I get her to stay my girlfriend? to take out his other scenes

My English is not the best, sorry.

Could be that you did something before that she finds out about in that scene. Or it could be a bug. If you don't have any mods installed and you have the latest updated version, go to the games Discord and ask there. They will help if they can, or fix it for a later update if it's a bug.
