Sigh, well I just finished my first playthrough and I must say I was terribly disappointed in 0.5. Yes, yes, I know, for all of the fanboys, I really liked the game up to now and I will still play it going forward in the hopes that this was a speed bump, but porn elements aside VNs live or die by the writing for me. A couple of relatively easy path navigations in Andromeda and at the party, some absolutely ridiculous dialogue and suddenly everyone can't wait to fall on MC's dick at the slightest provocation in the most inappropriate moments. I understand that it's a porn game, but even so there's tons of room for smoother integration of sex and character development into the game. It's like suddenly MC has too bang as many people as possible as quickly as possible in order to win a scavenger hunt or something. Is there that much need to rush at the expense of the story and basic logic? I suppose many would disagree and want to see as many lewds a possible as quickly as possible. Hey, some of the animations were great. Still, it grates on my nerves. And seriously, an Alien sequence? really? That was brutally bad. There were no words for how bad that was. Now, this isn't to say that there weren't some good story development elements and some intrigue, and the core story itself is still really good, but this is the kind of thing that distinguishes the really good games from the ones that are "meh". This chapter was "meh"
