The update has been completed on all the routes that I have. And again conflicting emotions.
Some good points:
1. Really hot scenes with Cherry, Cindy and Minerva. Ian finally fully reveals his abilities as a chad-dominator. But there is a small minus: some of the art in these scenes are repeats of previous scenes.
2. Finally, the development of the Ian-fighter (more on the disadvantages of this moment later)
3. Ian and Lena have equal rights from now- Ian can also get sex with a character from GGGB (it’s a pity that it’s still not Nat
)
4. Ian economy finally get some balance - more options for spending money and I was left with $3-6 depending on the route at the end.
Bad points of the update:
1.
The combat mini-game is poorly implemented. The system was too complex and inconvenient, where you had to roll back to autosaves 20 times during the first run. Later it became easier, but the unpleasant aftertaste from the fact that the mini-game was done through the ass remained - there is a good example of how to make battles fun and convenient, you all know it (hello Brawler, I missed you. See you soon.)
2. Sex scenes. Eva again keeps us on a starvation diet and blocks us from Emma and Ivy. But this time she blocked us...from Lena? Seriously, on pure Ian/Lena, where you're not a cheater, you don't get ANYTHING. There is simply no scene with Lena. Naturally, there are no lewds and you just get half an hour of plot. Balance, huh? Okay, this is just a short prologue that took two months to complete. But it's not worth $23.
3.
Characters writing. Ah shit, here we go again.
Perry, who in one of my saves began to improve and develop as a person, again behaves like an infantile spoiled child. This scene is static, no matter what you did earlier. You already know about the scene where he asks Ian to pay for the purchases, and if you choose to pay in half, then he is offended “Muh YoU gOnNa LiVe iN mY hOuSe fOr FrEe”. In general, the same Perry from the early episodes.
Ian. Well, now Eva has made Ian a hypocrite too. Ian admitted that he fucked Louise in a threesome, Jeremy admitted that he did the same with Lena. Ian ends up frustrated, even when choosing the most positive answer, although this seems absurd - in that route he is a manwhore, similar to Jeremy (only more successful, lol) and he is connected with Lena only by friendship with benefits. He fucked his bro GF, but get angry that his bro fucked his friend.
This is a copy of Lena-Ivy conversation from the previous epilogue.
4. It looks like this is the most buggy release. Eva even had to do a quick fix and reboot the build - at the launch yesterday the game contained critical bugs that broke the gameplay.
The overall feeling from the update is 3/5. Hopefully the full Chapter 12 Ian will be made better, right? RIGHT?
P.S.: Please, can someone share Alison's save on the Chapter 11 beginning? Don't have time for full run, but want to made an opinion.
