Not complaining about you complaining, but this game isn't for the fain hearted. Fail once, shame on you, fail twice, shame on me - and yet I still didn't get an Emma relationship working. I know how it should be done, but somehow I fail. And that is one of the things I really, really love about this game: you fail - but not because the game is unfair or similar, but because you did something wrong. And it is not out of your grasp. So next time surely ... surely ... surely I'll manage. It is just about the correct amount of challenge to me. Yes, I need a couple of updates for a break after one more embarassing failure, but I am ready to go again one day, and this time ... this time surely ... ah, dammit!
I find this way more rewarding than the usual "okay, at the second date I need to eat a burger, and after that I should not go Karaoke, and then that's settled" stuff. Maybe just me, but yeah. It will never be my favorite game because that one will never change from the first real game I had in this genre just by luck of timing, but it tries really hard to be.
