Every big game on this site that I have played we have to talk and interact with the girls.lol Yes, we can. I ignore the ones I don't like. Sorry, Joshy. I know you have a bigger heart then me.
But we aren't forced to help them. We do have choices which limit our interactions with them. Hell, we can even ignore them somewhat.
Honestly, I just feel like everyone is blowing the Risa thing out of proportion.
Yeah, college themed games have been over blown. I stay away from most of them. Too much of the same same.
Look, bro. I get it. You love and simp for all the girls. Sometimes to your detriment. But that's you. Not everyone is like that. I avoided Risa and others as much as I could. Only interaction I've had with most of them have been what was forced. Ok, no issue.
It can be done, and there are games where you have the ability to choose whether you want to pursue individual girls or not, or groups of girls, allowing you to bypass some elements of repetitive or undesirable storyline, but they're few and far between and often require some common sense decisions (or admitedly sometimes seemingly odd decisions) in order to navigate the game. College game or not if something is well done then you'll enjoy it, just like movies, where people race to try to clone the magic of something original with cheap and ill conceived copies as soon as possible after release.The real challenge is to have varied story lines that allow you to replay without having to endlessly repeat all the same scenes over and over again.This greatly increases replayability but people are lazy and they want to be able to bang everybody in one go in a linear fashion, which to me becomes boring as fuck. I suspect that it makes the branch mapping so complex for devs that it becomes too challenging and too much work to try to maintain a cohesive storyline and continuity when most people are satisfied or with or even prefer linear storylines to keep things simple. As a gross and sometimes inaccurate generalization most people here seem to have an aversion to complex branching and any sandbox or free roam or puzzle elements that complicate their ability to fap without straining their brain overmuch. I personally like game elements that make the stories more complex, but I recognize that I'm in the minority, and I have to keep reminding myself that as much as we refer to these VNs as "games" they really are stories first, and not video games, and that the people who play these aren't "gamers" per se, and come with a completely different mindset and cultural values than what gamers do. For people who do both it's a bit schizophrenic. lolYeah, college themed games have been over blown. I stay away from most of them. Too much of the same same.
I don't mind interacting with them so long as I don't have to make them an LI.
Haha you know me bro I simp hard.
Of course. But in RL, you wouldn't survive. Shit like that only happens in movies. In my younger days, I was a badass and even then, stormin a drug den was never in my job description.
Yeah I was also not happy about the Risa line and fact neon decided MC needs a protagonist or else there is not enough drama. I know it is a me problem but I dislike most games with protagonists that are in reality unsurmountable for MC except for some serious plot armor. It is cheap drama, where making an MC fail due to own mistakes or treating people as they do not like is way more interesting as drug dealer number 2001. Like Nicky disappearing when went to rough was fair enough for me.Of course. But in RL, you wouldn't survive. Shit like that only happens in movies. In my younger days, I was a badass and even then, stormin a drug den was never in my job description.
IF you're like this in RL, bro, you're goin to end up in a situation you don't want. I mean think about it. Even if you're the toughest, strongest and biggest badass in the world, that's not goin to save you from a bullet. Dealers don't carry bats, knives, pepper spray/mace or tasers. They carry guns. You want to save someone who is an addict and I understand that. Addicts can't be saved, unless they've hit rock bottom and finally want it. Even then, it's still up to them. Not you, me or anyone. Buyin them drugs yourself is only contributin to them killin themselves. That's what drugs do. They kill.
I have to do something though bro
I haven't played in months, bro. Am waitin on Gabby and Mason's update. But I'm sorry, addicts use those eyes, words and actions to their advantage. Believe me, I know from experience. That's what pisses me off the most with this bein forced. One, I don't know Risa. Except through the very few forced interactions. Which amounted to very little. I never sought her out for convo or anything.
Sorry about your sister bro.
It's all good, bro. It was a long time ago.
Which is why yes to all harem is the one true way, come to the light my friend.
Or if not really a harem, at least lets us have Ashe and Gabby both at the same time.
I really think the dev is going to make each LI have 1-2 other LI that they are willing to also date. This will be the compromise of having no harem.
