Is it crazy to have higher expectations from this game? I'm looking at MM and can't help but feel disappointed at the direction it's going, or rather the disappointment is more because of its lack of direction. MM excels at delivering beautiful characters with colorful and unique personalities, and putting the mc in hot situations with said characters. But it's become a sandbox game with a serial of related but ultimately insignificant events, and maybe that's all it was ever meant to be. There is no story. You complete one event and the game moves ahead to the next one. The carryover from previous events is absent. There is no consequence from your choices. That oral sex scene with Esther at the Cafe was ridiculous. Are we really supposed to believe that no one noticed what was going on?
You can argue that there isn't any romance either. For example, there are roughly what 27 or 28 main events with Esther? You go from being sexual with each other, to actually having sex, yet when was the last time you got to kiss her? If Esther and the Mc are slowly supposed to develop their feelings for each other, then there needs to be a story about their journey. And frankly, there isn't one.
The first couple times I played MM, I couldn't wait for future updates. Now, I'm more reserved. For me, it's turned into another Battle of the Bulges (and even this has a story that's driving your actions), a game only meant to get you off. However, BoB is supposed to be over-the-top and doesn't take itself seriously. Anyway, I suppose it's my own fault for expecting a decent story out of the games I choose to play. I just feel like it MM could've had that story, which would've catapulted it to the next level of the games of F95.
