I thought you were just talking about the relationship with Ryan alone.There's no world in which carrying on simultaneous relationships with multiple people will have no downsides.
Good to know. Often female protagonists will be critizised for things that are seen normal for male protagonists.I do dislike them which I why I enjoy games that are as distinct from them as possible.
Just to put the record straight. Ryan starts as an office hookup and when he asks you to become his girlfriend the very next thing he asks you is to fuck one of his business partners. That also happens at the very end of the game.In real life? Absolutely. But in fiction, well... nobody wants to read about happy people. Conflict drives drama. So, a relationship with no potential tensions is happy if you can get it, but a slog to read about for long stretches. So, I get where that sentiment is coming from.
So not exactly boring or a slog
I agree that the latter half of GGGB felt rushed because just so much was happening. Apart from Ashley being devasted when Jack left her (after she slept with his business partner and his brother) she just didn't care about anything any more. (Thats why I like to play a goodish Ashley. Bad Ashley just annoys me always being so cold and mean. Also the outfits are hotter )But, indeed, once past a certain threshold in GGGB, the relationship choices are an emotional cakewalk. It would have been fun, for example, if Eva resisted Ashley's domineering or cheating.
But, come on, GGGB gives the average soap opera a good run for drama. You have the dead character returning to life, multiple suicides, murders, drug deals, you can become a snitch for the police (kinda) assault, robbery, prostitution (kinda) and I haven't even mentioned Jasmine.
