While I don't disagree that adding people to existing locations makes the game feel more alive, they're also constantly adding new locations, which kinda feels like a vicious cycle.
I feel there should come a point where they'd stop adding new girls/locations to focus on the multiple ones they already have in the game. We're at like 2 in-game pages worth of side characters, we have plenty of variety as it is, yet some of them haven't gotten new content in years. It feels like they're just adding them for variety's sake, not because they have an actual plan for all of them.
The fact that these patches should be releasing at a much faster rate doesn't help. I can't help but make comparisons to Harem Hotel in my head, where patches are released in half the time and with more than double the content. I don't see many (or any) complaints about side content there, it feels much more balanced.
Here is the thing though, the updates SHOULD come out when they are good and ready, and not before. There is NO set schedule, and there is no law or rule that says they have to do things the way some other halfassed games do it.
Developing a sandbox game is harder than some linear bullshit, and developing new and unique areas takes time. Sure they could slap some bullshit together, made from the same crap everyone else uses and get things done faster, not use any custom assets, or anything, but that would suck, and be boring.
One of the things that appeals about this game, is that is it NOT using the same assets that are in every other game.
Eventually, I am sure they will stop adding new locations, but not until all the ones that they promised us are done. You know, all the ones that you can click on and say that it will be added later. Frankly, if they stop adding those new locations that they promised, with all the new potential that entails, I will upset. THAT is when they go full Icstor, by dropping a game, long before all of the promised content is complete.
Good things take time. If you don't like that, go play some derivative nonsense while you wait. There is plenty of it here.
Personally, once again, the two main girls I don't like are featured in half of the main events, but do you see me bitching about it? Nope. I am just happy about all of the other stuff I get to see, including all of the new people.
