That's what I was trying to say though, thus I agree. When I say rape I mean Haley coming to the realization she was raped, not the revenge plot that was, as you said, developed in .60.
Yeah, your interpretation is correct, though I do literally mean end. Revenge as the climax seems inevitable at this point, hopefully with Haley and not MC. I meant more "the story" in a metaphorical real life sense and not literally this game. Surprised to see you'd be okay with it ending in revenge though, that doesn't really seem like something you'd be for. Unless you didn't mean actually ending and just the climax.
I see what you're saying with Victor about Viit not ignoring the plot a little better, but that's still MC's side of things and not Haley. I'd be surprised to hear you say that you'd be okay with Victor talking MC down and not having it be Haley, which would bond them together a little more, but you're right, MC has to get there somehow.
That said, I'm saying it's being put on hold because it is. Haley said in .55, and I quote: "When we get back, I can tell you more" and the absolute nail in the coffin: "You can ask me anything you want." MC asks, and definitely more than a few times as the time lapse in .60 gives us this: 'But whenever you'd bring up Mr. Klaus, she'd clam up or change the subject.'
How exactly is that not putting things on hold? I realize and agree the wheels are turning so to speak, but .55 hinted at some kind of conversation that would happen in .60, and .60 gave us jack shit.
100% on hold
A. Haleys MC dialoques about the incident
At the lake. No dialoques since MC Is unwilling to Start a conversation. All we get from that scene Is MC Is noticable uncomfortable or even angry. That vibe Is constantly present in 0.60. Haley either neglets it or bypasses it.
At the Van.
In the naration of the story.
" But whenever you'd bring up Mr Klaus, she'd clamp up or change the subject"
II just dont get it how someone can read between those lines and figure out differencies on haley's responces and that the procedure of her realizing the True nature of the case Is progressing.
While ignoring the obvious. That she totally Backtracked for her previous stance or promise to openly disquss the case.
B. Haleys MC dialoques regarding the daddy references.
After the bike accident
"Daddys taking care of Me" she whispers.
P Isnt that what we said. And Stop calling me that.
END OF DISQUSSION.
First night at home.
"She takes your hand and slides it up her tshirt.
H My Pussy Is yours, daddy. Here... at work.. the post office..
P He he... The post office?
H I am a good girl.
P I Am tired though
END OF DISQUSSION
No comment.
C. Mcs actions towards Mr Klaus or dealing with the case.
Mcs will to confront him Is highlighted As he tries to find him. Leaving aside that in previous update asks his dad about mr Klaus whereabouts, dad Is clueless, and Yet MC knows where to find or to seek him, the confrontation Is Postponed. The story isnt only getting on hold on that part but its getting more bloated or complicated. Additional elements, mr Klaus getting remarried or having a stepdaughter are added to storys frame without getting deeper Into them or to the preexesting ones.
Mc revealing his Sister rape case to Victor and Adriana. Again widthening the story in a problematic way. Dont know how rational Is disqussing your Sisters rape case with a typical buddy or a fuckbuddy. While they have a typical but everydays relationship with her.
The New element here brought to story Is that they are more than buddies or fuckbuddies.
And Yet again its not the cause that justified the outcome. Mcs relationship with them wasnt presented so close or deep enough in order to make sense revealing the rape case.
Its the outcome that justifies the cause.
Since the outcome Is revealing them the rape case its justified the nature of their relationship being more than buddies or fuckbuddies.
Just poor story writing.
Having the second main fc being raped or abused in the past. Leaving aside the plausibility of Everyone you have a romantic relationship being raped (or 40% of every female in story) or the logic to use As a device of progressing a rape case the introduction of a New one, again adding New elements in the story without looking deeper Into them or the preexesting ones.
So 100% zero progres in every issue pending. Without avoiding to add additional elements in the story while retaining everything in a surface level.
If they gain 30 patrons (which Is pausible since rest of ptolemys games are declining, are on hold or in a very early stage) this month, they are gonna rape another.
Cause the more you rape them the more character depth.
The nature of the game has changed, the nature of the fanbase Is changing accordinglly, the nature of opinions in the thread Is changing.
Between constant insults or questioning "why you play it when dont like it", "why you are stickings around", "why you dont make a game on your own", "what if a loved one of yours was raped in rl, then what would you do bs.. bs.. bs.. you arrogant critisizing...." its still refresing to find real arguements regarding the Games progression.
While i strongly disagree about storys progression while it keeps overbloating while not dealing with anything or characters depth while characters are constantly twisted or the dialoques about the pending issues have become autistic.
