Anyone else feels like all of a sudden Emma is just a spoiled little unlikeable brat ?
I don't know if that was what the dev was going for but man, is it hard to like her.

Yeah I just got to the talk about the date, and up until now I have loved Emma, but right now I couldn't give a fuck if she got kidnapped, she just become such a fucking whiny brat.

If you want to believe that Emma is a whiny brat that's totally up to you, I wouldn't totally disagree. Saying Emma just magically turned into a brat though is so far gone the entire plot must have just flown over your heads. The thing you guys seem to be missing is a tiny little thing called CONTEXT. Maybe just maybe..... the reason Emma has become whiny now and not before is due to the fact she had nothing to whine about before? She was coddled and protected and has not been told no up until now. Suddenly she's in a situation where she's being denied something she wants desperately. Brat? sure! But to make out that it's out of character or she's suddenly a different person is ridiculous. Believe it or not peoples attitudes can change in different situations!

I didn't say she just turned into a brat now. But until this version I thought she had some redeeming things about her as well. She was also not that unlikable, at least for me. But that whole I hate you, I love you just for letting her go on the date or not was too much. Sure, I've never been a young girl in love, being denied my chance at a first date, maybe it's common, but it's just so unlikable. Whiny people in general are, but that was soooo much.
You are right about the fact that she didn't have anything to whine about before though. She was an unlikable character in disguise until this episode .

He thinks of himself as her father, I don't think it's that type of game.

Did dev say that or it's just your opinion? And what type of game you talking about which this isn't?

Playing the game will tell you that Emma sees the MC as a father figure and wants the MC/Charlotte to hook up and get married so that he can become her father.She even calls him dad at times and has him down as Dad on her mobile.

Why am i grinding my ass again for? That would be biggest L for plenty of Emma admirers.

So you want to play the speculation game too?

Did you even played the game? There are plenty scenes where Emma or the MC are thinking/saying that. Maybe that changes later in her route since Emma is a LI.

Fair enough.

You are right about the fact that she didn't have anything to whine about before though. She was an unlikable character in disguise until this episode .

If you don't want to like her that's up to you. I like to give her a little bit of credit though and heres why.

First of all I think we can all agree without a doubt that Emma is spoiled and protected to an extreme degree.

She has her mother and aunt treating her like an infant showering her with gifts and doing everything in their power to make her happy. She doesn't go out and pretty much lived in a vacuum before the MC arrived.

The MC turns up and treats her the exact same way at her mother's request. She doesn't even know why the MC is here he's lying to her the exact same way everybody else is. For crying out loud even Zak is lying to her. She's living in a bubble where shes treat like a princess and shielded from anything that might upset her or hurt her she is a product of her environment.

Her behaviour at being denied a date with Zak while bratish is totally expected with the way she is treated. There is no way she can imagine the danger she could be in while living in this little fairytale world her family has created for her. The only reasonable explanation she can come up with from the information she has is she's being punished.

If she knew all the facts do you think it's possible she would have acted differently? I think theres a good chance she would have. I don't put 100% of the blame on Emma for her behaviour, I think it's reasonable to imagine most people would be the same. I mean you only have to browse this site for 2-3 minutes to witness so many people who acted just like Emma.

Again if you want to hate her, that's fine. But I think she isn't as bad as some of you think and I wouldn't be shocked if we were to see some siginificant character development with her after recent events.

They did say that but the point is how that concludes she not being love interest? You trolling me isn't it because Why the Fuck am i here if i didn't play the game

 

[White Lamp]

y’all can stop arguing.

Dark blue already confirmed Emma will be one of the love interest of the game. As for how that will happen just wait and see.

 

[J.R.]

You even did not read my post - I said she IS a LI! Oh my...

 

[Antonie van Leeuwenhoek]

And how's your first phrase helping that cause?

 

[SirAlexander111]

Playing the game will tell you that Emma sees the MC as a father figure and wants the MC/Charlotte to hook up and get married so that he can become her father.She even calls him dad at times and has him down as Dad on her mobile.

So Suzy (Emma's sister) will be fine going forward being a li because she doesn't call him dad?

 

[D9074]

The FBI is likely targeting the Weinstein lookalike. You can see the path its going. The agent is likely right there, since they are surveilling him already

yeah she is around that group and he is the main one, if the mc does end up in jail it will not be for long and he will get out.

 

[SirAlexander111]

Yes, DB has confirmed the 4 LI's, Charlotte, Emma, Lucy, and Suzi, on his Discord and here.

Kaylah and the new brunette in the preview are side girls or "distractions" for fun. Although I think having fun with them will have serious consequences for your chosen LI path.

I should calm my tits now

 

[D9074]

for the people saying about emma, yes in that update when it came to not getting her way she was bratty.. i think that with what happened its something that will make her grow out of all of that. she will now see why they didnt want her to go to begin with.. she annoyed me at times in the update but when she finally stood up in the cinema to leave that little cunt then i was happy with her, she finally see him for what he is. Yes she was naïve but i think her character needed to be for certain events and for story purposes.

She has always been the mcs number 1 fan and after her nearly dying and her and charlotte seeing him save her life fuck knows how they will both react to him from now on. its not going to be a bad reaction

With Charlotte, you never know. He did save her daughter, but she also saw him kill a dude when he could have incapacitated him instead. Judging by the pacing of the game so far, I think that could make her pull back from him for a little while, now that she's seen with her own eyes how dangerous he can be. Hope I'm wrong, and it brings them closer together.
