Going back and playing the original I forgot just how like, great it was. I forgot what it was like to truly enjoy playing this..
The characters are better. Almost every character is ruined. Also, ever notice how everyone was like, way nicer? Remember when, like, for the most part, the characters...generally were nice to eachother and liked eachother? You know, Beth's boyfriend wasn't abusive, just in love woth her mom and you could work with him? Laura was sweet and innocent?
The story is better. Remember when the dad...wasn't evil from the start? WHen we didn't know what he was up to? There was some mystery and intrigue, and his family actually thought he loved them? Remember having to slowly get closer to the icy Maria? Remember when Lucy was a mystery lady? WHen Sarah's quest was really intetesting?
The music was better. The music is fucking awful now.
The gameplay was better. Yes. There are those 2 or 3 big grind points, but emember when basically every single charcater had their own schedule, and you could find them around town and interact with them any time? Rememebr when you could pursue any girl in pretty much any order? Remember fun stuff like pussyfights?
What's "better" in this version that makes it worthwhile? 1. Technically we have more content for girls like maria. 2. We can finally bang a worse version of Lucy who isn't nearly as cute as the original. 3Helen and her daughter are in the game. That's.....literally like, it. Even then, that's just picking up from hwere the old game left off, and Helen is just the old Maria....with less content.
Honestly, it's been so long that I forgot...the old game was actually like, genuinely good game that I loved. Yeah it had issues and deays. But I was happy with the project. How long has it been since I was satisfied with this project? The last time things felt pretty nice was ALaura update, several years ago. The one thar ruined Laura's character.
I just realized that I was really waiting for the game to be as good as the original, but it never will be. The only reason I still care is the old game This whole thing was a mistake... Why couldn't he have just made mnl2?
