I was reading and caught myself thinking that every second comment was about the fact that (oh my God, what an amazing story, keep up the good work, everything is super and without sex scenes it’s great). I wonder who else has the opinion that the story in the game over the last 3-4 updates has become boring, gray, forced and uninteresting?
right, plot isn't advancing much.

yup I agree relationship building is the best which is why when this is over im going to be the one to marry Charlotte and be Emma's new dad. I'll let Joshy visit when Suzi isn't around don't want my second step daughter to catch a murder charge because Joshy was holding Emma's hand to tight.

I don't agree on this. Plot is as much important as relationship building if not more, after all it's the plot brings them together. If plot is not moving forward I think story will get boring too quickly for everyone. :unsure:
I think it depends on the player and what the game is trying to be. For me I can play a game that has a bad story if I like the characters alot otherwise I wouldn't be able to enjoy about 1/2 of the slice of life games I play. But if a game is focusing more on the story than it better be decent. Which is kind of why even tho I see issues others have with some of the villains in this game it really is a non issue for me as I play this game for Charlotte first.

Well I'm still looking forward to seeing Jason and Harry get what's coming to them. They need to pay for what they did to Charlotte and Emma. Which is hopefully a bullet to the head, so the story still has me engaged enough.

That may be correct but if corrupt cops and wannabe player was not meddling Emma's and other Lloyds' life then you would not meet with Emma in the first place. I know it's hard to separate the plot from the rest but if you think about it, you'll see. As I see it, a game only good if all the points that makes it good enough. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying characters don't matter, they do but without plot it will get boring. That's why it been said a story only as good as its villain.

That's a different perspective sure but I am fairly certain there is a limit for you how bad the story can get and if you hit that line, you'll drop it regardless how much you like the characters. I am not sure anyone would like to play an epilogue where the story ends but characters stay to eternity.

idk I have a pretty high threshold of enjoying things that are bad when it comes to entertainment in general ive rarely dropped even tv shows or normal games. I have yet to drop an AVN because of a bad story up to about 100 played just about now. I've only dropped a few because of the characters none because of the story. I think it depends on the character tbh for me. Someone like Charlotte I can enjoy an endless epilogue if it's literally just about them and their day to day life as long as it has romance , drama , fights etc you know stuff you would see in a normal relationship. As that's what alot of slice of life games are barley any plot and more about the romance and dating aspect. But you are right at the same time certain characters like Emma , Suzi , Lucy I would get bored or tired of it eventually as I like them but not nearly as much as Charlotte . It honestly comes down to how much I like a character I have to like a character more than normal I think.

Edit : but you are right on another front I just now realized. A bad story will never be able to get a player to care about the characters in the first place. But once I do I think the rest the story can be bad and ill like it. Like in this game I find alot of Emma's stuff a bit boring to me so I dont have any interest in her + a few other reasons but do enjoy her as a character. But Charlotte if it was never for her story of her trauma and what happened with her I would of never liked her or gotten so invested into her character to the point I can enjoy a endless epilogue. So yeah a game does need to have a good story initially but it can go downhill if im hooked to something.

Meh, Emma is who she is because of who the MC is and his role in protecting her. She's a naive innocent girl who likes to make dresses and she's in danger. That's what makes it all tie together and become interesting. If this AVN were the "typical" MC creeping around the house like a loser I wouldn't be invested in her or the AVN at all. Story matters, it brings out interesting characters in interesting situations.

Who said the mc has to be creeping around the house? I don't play any game like that because they are trash.
I'm just saying the cops are the weak point of the story compared to the relationship building.
