If Eva thinks Stan is worth it, then it is so, because what some people can't seem to realize, Eva wants to write what she likes. Writing something you don't enjoy is what truly not worth it. And no novel of decent quality has been written "first try", without multiple revisions or rewrites of chapters or even entire storylines.
Blocked Dude still pissy about lack of Ivy I take it ? Trying to bring the fight here ? Oh well. The amount of salt is unreal.
But is he really worth it though? Entirely debatable. Much like Pussy Pass Robert. Eva could certainly do better writing and handling certain things. Much like Jeremy's infidelity and his and Louise's relationship. But nope. It's glossed over entirely and Small Dick gets promptly rewarded for it the same night. But what do I know as a writer myself. -Shrugs-
I can agree with that. Trying to make some characters shine and add them to the grand scheme not only adds issues down the road in possible consistency but also makes neglecting other characters as well (Ivy -cough cough-) while simply trying to make a character "appear" better. Not every one of these Side Characters (Stan, Robert, Mike, etc) doesn't really need to be worked on if they simply are meant to be some side character or in Stans case, a real nobody character.
Kind of...
Hence why Patience is a Virtue. The struggle is real. I would fucking know. I've been waiting for Ivy-Ian for 9 damn chapters. Though I will admit, the patience is indeed running thin. But with updates, the notion is simple: IT WILL BE OUT WHEN IT'S READY!
Well of course EvaKiss can do what she wants. But doing such a large re-writing after you have already published a round 45% to 50% of the story is a bit unlucky and as mentioned already by others it doesn’t make her work easier for the future.
You said it yourself, Stan had quite a few fans who liked his appearance and story until chapter 9 and were eager to see how his story progressed prior to the rewrite/restructuring of his character, at the moment it is uncertain if he would be able to maintain that popularity especially among those who have been able to play and see Stan before the rewrite.
Regular re-writes can kill the potential of a story-oriented game like ORS, especially if they are significant enough to alter the story as a whole. Players have already established their headcanon since we're roughly halfway through the game's development, and if you suddenly go back and change large chunks of the game, it will mess up with their perception. Simply put, the players are familiar with the established characters, and changing them too much is never a good idea.
Let's be honest here, looking at that line-up even the gangbanger from GGGB would come third. Hell, he'd come first. Most of those 'characters' are literally just stereotypes, and not too interesting ones either.
Surprised to see Jeremy but I agree 100% feel like he should've maybe got his own route over Stan. I am even more surprised with Perry being 4th to me Perry is the holy fuck is the dude's unbearable character didn't know a lot of people vibe with him.
But wasn't the 'complexity', the vast amount of hugely different choices what people liked about GGGB? Isn't that exactly what puts its above any other game? The problem with the end wasn't so much its inconsistancy but the need to come up with something new, with ever more over the top scenes.
So ... you want EvaKiss to stop wasting effort on 'side' characters and put more effort in one other character? Why? Just because you happen to be into Ivy?
) or now Stan with his rewrite. But, you know, a game is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are gonna get.How so? You could only vote once for every character.
