Alright, since everyone has been sharing their opinions I thought I'd do the same.

Remastered Chapter 9 is pretty good. Definitely an improved version of the game, there is no debate.
The prologue was a nice addition and it helps establish the game mechanics better. I pretty much love all of the additional pictures added to the previous sex scenes (my favorite being the bench sex-scene with Lena and Ian) and the little reworks of some scenes. I don't pay too much attention to dialogue, it's hard to remember it from 5 months ago, but i'm sure some of it got tweaked as well, certainly the one of the newly inserted scenes, which are nice addition as well.

That being said, it's a completely pointless rework. The biggest change is Stan and he is literally the same guy except worse now. He gets to do the same things he did before but now, there is more dialogue option with him which are pointless in the end. He just looks different while doing the creepy stuff he did before. Oh and the music producer guy is awkwardly white now, which ruins the whole dynamic of Alison getting blacked. There is really nothing worth spending 5 months work on it.

Hopefully, Eva fixed what issues she had with the game and from now on it will be smooth sailing...

TLDR: update is good, but took too long, ORS is still one of the best games on here, but really 6 months??

I'm of two minds on the revamp. On one hand, I'm glad Eva did it, I know the pain of wanting to revisit a product, but being kept on a deadline and being hardcore pressured to just leave an imperfection as is. I like a lot of the smaller changes, like having a small moment with Ian and Jeremy singing and building up their friendship. I don't know what it is but after in my recent playthroughs I've been way more in maintaining their friendship. The prologue also feels much better, setting it a couple months in the past and having during a club session with Jeremy makes the world of ORS feel lived in even before we begin the story. I much prefer the new Stan as well. He still embodies that shut-in creep that gets laughed at, but also feels like he isn't actually all that bad of a guy.

ON THE OTHER HAND. 6 months for an update with no new sex scenes at all is very disappointing. I know it isn't chapter 10, but I was hoping for atleast one lewd scene with Stan. Did not even have to be full on penetration, could have been a blowjob or something, anything. I do hope that during these past months Eva has been planning chapter 10 on the side, so she can get the ball rolling as soon as possible.

I see a lot of people on here talking about the dual protagonist thing being a bad idea. It definitely adds complexity and by extension time in development to the game, but this dual protagonist twist to me is the appeal of the game. Sure the sex scenes, dialogue, and artwork are all far beyond the competition, but the dual protagonist twist combined with the high Eva Kiss quality is something unique to this game and I wouldn't have it any other way. If I wanted a only female protagonist game where I can make her sleep with different bad actors or make her form meaningful romances, I would just pla GGGB. If I wanted to play the male protagonist game where I can sleep with loads of women and romance them I would play literally any other porn game on this website.

I'm kind of worried that the content for Ian will be weak forever. As it is he's just Eric v2. I mean yeah it's from the same dev but that was a female protagonist only game so it's hard to compare.

I never said I wasn't. What I am not doing, however, is ranting on and on about how the development pace is unacceptable, or that the direction needs to change, or anything of the sort.

I am not doing these things because to do so would make me an entitled twat.
as opposed to... a twat? In all seriousness ... nope I think my first comment covered all the bases lol

That is actually the feeling I get too, basically, all we are doing is getting to move a cuck around a little bit while we wait to get our hands on the real mc

I'll post my own two cents for this update if it's worth anything.

I liked the little nuances Eva's added with this update, the little bits of story and the new renders for certain scenes. Do I think it was necessary to delay the next update and polish a game which wasn't really in dire need of polishing just yet? Nah but maybe Eva just needed some stall time to get the plot in order.

That being said my huge gripes were the sudden ethnic changes to Billy and Holly's pairing off with the guard. Just felt really weird and unnecessary as someone that played the game multiple times previously. My opinion is probably a drop in the ocean and at the end of the day, Eva still calls the shots but it would be nice if they could be changed back.

TLDR - Liked the little things but felt unnecessary, some character changes felt really weird and even more unnecessary.

Why was Billy changed??? I actually liked his character...smh
Eva must've misread "please make his dick bigger & color the tip pink" as "Bleach him white and give him newscaster hair". :unsure:

Easy mistake. I'll put in a bug for it. :geek:

Really, wtf though? Probably from all the complaints and shaming about fun interracial tropes. There are more than enough white dudes in the game already.

My only guess is to avoid the stereotype of "black rap guy".
"the stereotype": *Looks up some hip-hop videos* :unsure:

:ROFLMAO:

I'm just playing... sort of. Sort of not. Putting all these limitations on the story you want to tell based on political objections gets really tiring though, since it's everywhere. It's like making a movie about Silicon Valley and not putting any Asians in it because that's a "stereotype".... *Looks at racial make-up of large tech companies... wonders*.

I'd hate to see Eva's remake if the game was about the NBA.

Even if he is, aren't the players that want to see a cuck Ian annoyed by the amount of development resources being wasted on his stuff? I don't know, it feels like this game has a lack of focus problem but we will see.

So what you are saying is Ian's best LI holly is getting paired up with that huge guard who will make him look like tiny-tim? Feels incredibly out of character for her. Can't say I'm happy about that at all. Game is quickly turning into a cuck game with some of the porn built on super flimsy logic.

Ian is the only part I liked about the game I really vibed with- did this rework add anything good for him? He is pathetic and the game seems to be rubbing it in constantly.

My main concern with almost all Ian routes it's that I have the impression that even in a single focused route, I'm not sure if I will have a succesful ending. Seems to me that in almost all the romantic routes there are an unknow problem/variable that it's gonna hit later in the game without any control by our part, as a players. I didn't have that problem on GGGB, I mean if I did a focused character route, I didn't have this feeling of problem/variable out of my control.

And of course with Lena routes I have the same concern.

Eva even made a character card for Billy back in September with his original look, so I doubt she planned his appearance change for as long as Stan's.
