I think the problem here is that deciding to be asshole is always because of some internal justification, but in the remake the player isn't really offered anything that could serve as such.
The rationale is always there even if the person exercising power doesn't stop to acknowledge it. People who choose to lord their power over others get off on that, simple as that.
I kind of worded that wrong and it can give that impression, yeah. Let me try to make some sense out of it: while the rationale of indulging oneself is always there for people who do it, no matter if conscious or not, arriving to that point is something of a process. You don't just wake up one day and out of the blue decide "i'm gonna be raping people from now on because this is what i enjoy" without any sort of build-up and prior experience with how abusing the power you have is actually pretty enjoyable.
I'd say you should probably look at it as just a porn game and not an autobiography lol.. it's already been established that the version everyone was playing was the vanilla patreon version, so the dark stuff is naturally missing there. And if the dark scene in the full version ends up being a little less extreme, and you may have missed the author discuss it, it's because he felt her return would make more sense if the abuse was less violent; I mean, the dark content in the latest chapters are still very, very dark, so it's a little silly all the people worried about him scrubbing the dark stuff.
100% man. None of the other girls deserve a dark path either, but people still clearly play them; I think it's entirely whatever the player feels like in the moment, or however the player wants to interpret the LIs, use them as a scapegoat for maybe other women they're reminded of, etc. Nothing wrong with that, and of course maybe these ladies are intended by Neon to be worse than we realize, but, to me, they all feel like normal struggling people just doing the best they can.
See - if you make it that obvious, everyone knows you're just trolling. No one hates Nicki and the dev has been talking for a year or so, in this forum, about doing the update and why he was doing it. You have to pay attention, at least a little bit, if you're going to troll successfully.Bro wasted a whole update on more nicky, the one girl everybody hates
I strongly disagree. I like the old Nicky contentBro wasted a whole update on more nicky, the one girl everybody hates
I like Nicky old and new Nicky. Without her character the game will be only a easy porn where the main character, a very rich man, fuck girls. But with Nicky all change, she’s his old love, like Beatrice was for Dante Alighieri.I strongly disagree. I like the old Nicky content
Agree - Nicky's the one who convinces him that he can do good and help people - otherwise, might as well skip all the charity stuff and just hire hookers. It would cost less and you don't have to win them over or convince them to do anything. Personally Nicky is my favorite, she doesn't have to be yours but this game wouldn't really be much of a game without her - just a menu of ladies.
Don't say things like that, or we're gonna get next remake, Hookers In Need.
There is definitely a place for a harem game where you do nothing but collect Lis and there's no real story, and no real game and the Dev just spends all of their time inventing new repeatable scenes and new women. People would pay for that, but I imagine it would be pretty dull to make.Don't say things like that, or we're gonna get next remake, Hookers In Need.
The only bad thing about Nicki is, she makes me feel guilty for non-platonically liking Brittani. NeonGhosts can we get a "Nicki doesn't mind Guy having hots for Brittani" patch...
everybody does not include me and many others that love her so speak for yourself. I loved Nicki before and love her even more now it was 100% worth it to meBro wasted a whole update on more nicky, the one girl everybody hates
