Well, for me artificial Academy stopped with the 2 and I don't see the reason to make a 3. it would only make things worse, and even if they did just an upgrade of the game it would disappoint a lot because it doesn't add anything new.
look HS2 is the same as the first only with improved graphics, it has not had a shred of the success of the first, and except the fans no one has watched the game.
and then in my opinion the Illusion does it on purpose to make basic games, so with mods and more the game goes on over the years. like Minecraft, you can say what you want but vanilla sucks, while with mods it is better, in my opinion he would have died immediately if there were no mods.
I can fully agree on mods and how it keeps Illusion games "good".
Already the very basic required ones to be even able to play them on modern systems.. That alone shows how Illusion wouldn't exist anymore, if it wasn't for modders pulling their asses out of the shithole every time.
But if it comes to AA2. Surely it had its downsides, but i prefer games that have at least some more AI for the girls where they try to interact with you or even "force" themselves onto you. The newer games are just plain boring, if you basically need to tell them everything.
Also back then they at least tried to make the models functional, even if it makes them look a bit less visually appealing in total.
I rather have a bit of a blocky head but a pussy that actually spreads if you go in instead of a top notch model of a naked body, if it has as much function as a Barbie doll.
Heck my ex gf hated that Sexy Beach... where you run around directly. It looked so promising to both of us and at the end it was complete garbage.
So yeah. In my opinion. Give AA2 a upgrade. Better models. Keep what it has if it comes to functionality and i am fine with it.
