I dunno why the devs picked the least attractive character in the game to give the most progress with. Maybe theyre all low key milf hunters? Doesnt really matter. But other than the fact that I loved MSM I first started playing this game cause Jess and even more so Meg were on the cover art. Then Ellie shows up and I'm like damn these are some fun and sexy characters.
But then the game starts forcing you to do stuff with Elizabeth to progress, and shes pretty boring and not a particularly attractive character IMO. Even worse, every time you seem to be progresing with Meg, the game keeps shoving in Zoe. The annoying clingy insecure carry on that seems to follow her like a lost puppy and constantly looks like a mixture of confused and scared. I get that she might be appealing to other people but dont force me to pay attention to her to be able to interact with characters I'm more invested in.
Speaking of, I, like everyone else, am getting very tired of this 2 steps forward 4 steps back style. I enjoyed the buildup it created in Season 1, but towards the end it was starting to drag a bit. Then the game forces the MC to play a shitty day when he knows by now exactly how he needs to behave for the best results? He ignores that, giving the player no choice, then of course thats when the day ticks over, all to milk a season 2.
Then in season 2 it gets even worse, cause despite waiting however long for this exciting sequel to release, once again, the players is given zero choice. Just the illusion of choice. But youre instead forced to fuck up almost every promising thread that you hafd going over and over. Finally S2E2 comes out. Should all be fixed right? We got the obligatory delay it a little and fuck everything up, now we have the chance to finally DO something. But nah, all of a sudden the MC has virgin stamina again despite it literally being a story objective to build up stamina several times over the course of season 1. This makes no sense and is clearly a cheap cop-out where the writers couldnt think of a better option to extend the buildup.
The final thing I wanted to talk about is these bonus renders. I dont know how other people feel, but I personally do not care about these 'non-canon' renders. If I just wanted to see animated tits I could find a billion of them on the internet. I play games like this for an invest story that gives a better pay off at the end of my 'business' and I find x-ray mechanics a cheap shitty way to insert nudity before the story has progressed to that point to keep players who are just there for a wank interested. But here its excessive, I dont care about them because the characters have literally zero reaction. I've seen these characters naked before I get it. Stop bloating the image count for your changelog and focus on rendering actual plot progression please!
Sorry for the Essay style rant but I wanted to summarise how I felt about what could honestly be an incredible game with some tweaks and perhaps better organise how some other fans are feeling about it and why. If you agree let me know if I'm way off tell my why.
