I'm just getting to the point where I don't really care anymore. There are too many people, nobody gets any development time, and the over-arching story has basically stalled out. I mean, who can even keep track off all these people without a rolodex on hand?

LI's - Jessy, Tracey, Juanita, Oxana, Larisa, Rachael, Maria, Nikki, Katy, Kat, Rin, Willow, Angel, Chloe, Leelee, Candi, Angelica, Sadie, Hanako?
Future LI's? - Twila, Ashley, Kira, Tori, Emily, Della, Sarah, Hailee?
Casual Side Pieces - Brooke, Angie, Simone, Charli, Nora?

I don't even remember half of the names above. I just keep really meticulous saves (47 pages worth) and I was able to go back to skim through all the faces I saw, and it allowed me to compile the above list; and there's no guarantee I didn't miss a few.

The three girls who get the most regular content it seems are Jessy, her mother Tracey, and Rachael. Many of the other names on here have only one scene with them and were never touched on again, and some never even got a scene (e.g. Tori grabbed Ryker's dick in the hospital, and Emily helped him piss in a bottle). When was the last time anyone cared about Juanita or her daughter Maria? They were introduced, sexed, and effectively left to rot.

Ryker's 'core' group of motorcycle club and strip club ladies is well over a dozen, and there's no reason to care about most of them. This isn't just complaining about how the number of LI's has reached immersion breaking levels of absurdity, but how spreading the cast so thin allows for little to no character development. How much drama is left in the tank after you fuck Kat and her mom? How long are they gonna be shelved in favor of the next one-off 'project' girl, who also gets fucked and then never gets a follow up in favor of the next girl who needs saving? There is just little to no investment in these characters, so much so that even referring to most of them as 'characters' I feel is being overly generous.

It's a cast wide as a lake, but deep as a puddle.

I just wish there was a much tighter focus on a smaller cast, that shit actually happened, and that the audience could be made to care about it and the characters involved. I'm just getting tired of this 'flavor of the month' constantly rotating cast. I mean really, considering how much of a man-whore Ryker already is, did the addition of Leelee add anything meaningful in terms of plot, character development, or narrative progression? I don't think so.

(This isn't a dig at her design, I happen to like the petite ladies. Just, what does she add that couldn't have been done already with Jessy, Katy, Angel, Willow, Twila, Nikki, Hanako, etc.?)

Tori and Ryker's hospital story could be continued. Their closer relationship could also change the political situation for the club. Tori is hot. ;)

Saves from this 10_part_4_beta_update 1 probably don't work with the new version? Will play this just to see what the m/d content is then download most recent update and restart game which is fine with me. Have a felling my old saves won't work.

Why shouldn't they? Have you read anything that say that? Eg. in the OP?

Unfortunately a rival band called the Minions is causing all sorts of mischief so it's up to the Rogues to use their magic sparkle wands and turn into mahou shoujos (except, you know, Korean ones) to fight injustice and bring love to the world with their impeccable dance routines and fantastic hair! Effete action abounds!

So why am I riding bikes instead of just going on music shows to promote the band? Rogues have poor management. Bet they're managed by old people who are not up to date with current market.

Oh boy, there's posts being critical of this game, and, there's people up in arms about it...

Let's start with [Breathe], now:

1 - Size of the cast. Please do correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't ALL the LI's optional? Don't we get, at some point a decision if we want to open their path? I think that we do. So, blaming the game and the Dev of putting too many women in your Harem is a rather large LIE. You were give the option, since then, it is YOUR responsibility, not the game, not the Dev. They are there because you suffer from the FOMO disease. Reading this may feel bad, but, hey, it was your choices that brought you there. Restart the game, say No to any that you feel like you don't need, Job's Done. No, it is NOT a valid criticism.

2 - Lack of depth in the characters. This is an ongoing story. In spite of the fact that it has been 3 years in development, not that much time has passed in game. Believe me, you don't get to know people in any level of depth in this time frame. With exceptions, obviously. Some people are able to open themselves up and allow others to know them with ease, while for others it is a rather difficult process. All I can say here is that the pace seems correct for me. Not too fast, not too slow, with a firm continuous movement forward. Sure, some areas of the story advance faster than others, it is that way everywhere. So, no, in spite of how you feel, it is NOT a valid criticism.

3 - What does this new LI adds? Well... one more option added to the pile. You don't see any value? Shut it down. That's why YOU are asked, otherwise it would be an automatic Yes.

Let's end this with a final reflection, no one promised you a PERFECTLY balanced and exquisitely written story able to rival any other ever made. It isn't. It will NEVER be. What it is, is a decently made and written story that while imperfect still provides quite good levels of entertainment. Just so you know, it is ABOVE (way above) any of the TV-Shows on the CW, with their fake drama and absolute brain dead writing that is completely improper for intelligent consumption.

I'm sorry to say, but, maybe you should consider tempering your expectations.

Peace :)
