Played several of the latest updates in a row. This game is my favourite AVN as far as fuckfests go; while that may look like a questionable compliment, it's actually not too shabby considering the nature of the AVNs and the tough competition. It also allows me not to take everything going on too seriously.
Thoughts:
That's old news, but I like
the Carol retcon, even if I usually hate
retcons. S2's ending had a bad reputation for a reason,
making all the characters ultimately irrelevant, MC included (as they were mere code), and any continuation impossible. Making everyone
real humans again was a lifesaver.
Alice is quite obviously shaping to be the MC's endgame. While I don't dislike her, it's on the contrary actually, I think she'd make a poor couple with the MC. She's
too brilliant of a mind for him; she'd be better off developing stuff at NASA rather than waste her potential dating a horny teenager. He, on the other hand, would work better with a girl he can actually comprehend, such as Ellie.
Ellie. Her path is obviously not completed yet and waiting for further development. On the plus side, the MC faced the consequences of his actions, which should happen to him more often. Also, I'm really glad
Kate is back. After her ex didn't turn up at the hospital during Elizabeth's events, I thought that their plotline was gonna remain in S2's Extras forever, but thankfully, she's now made an appearance in the game proper. I love gals
in uniform 
.
Jessica's S3 story is the best so far, imo. Her attempts to
track the MC and 'play' the other LIs were some of the funniest LT content imo, and her unconventional relationship with Chloe has finally been uncovered and developed.
Amy. I still think her model is too hot for the character she's supposed to be, so I just play all of her paths as pure "A"s in AVNs, and her S3 plotline delivered, as always. Still, whatever happens in the end, whether the MC
helps her escape again or she gets
shipped off to Tom, I feel like neither guy's gonna keep her for long. Once she realizes the
sheer power of her looks, she'll dump either of them and go seduce billionaires in no time.
Nicole. Like with Ellie, her story doesn't look over yet. That epic departure would look fine in a serious story-based AVN, but in a sandbox? Nah, here, all the paths have to have a good… or, rather, a beneficial to the MC... ending. Also, a bit too much leaning on the fourth wall here with the NTR jokes, and Carol is the much more fitting character to do that than the MC imo. I liked the MC's noir fit however. I think noir is incredibly stylish, so I welcome such scenes in any media.
