Man, I was playing through some of my many routes for this game (been a while since I last played it). One favourite route of mine is where I have Lena focus on Ian mainly and maybe some of her female friends, but none of the guys (they are honestly all idiots in my opinion) and Ian focuses only on Lena and he supports his friends.
Well, I had NO problem avoiding scenes with Lena and Robert, who is a jerk, or Mike, who is a womanizing jerk, or, well, you get the picture.
Anyhow, while playing Ian and TRYING to keep his male friends happy, I... just can't do it. No way, no how. Wade is an idiot. P-P-Perry is an idiot. Jeremy is a backstabber (if you don't tell the girls that he is late because he was seeing his girlfriend, Louise, he still backstabs you and rats you out anyhow, so piss on him). Wade and Perry complain about how Cindy always wants her way when Cindy only EVER goes to the bar THEY like with them, when she wants to check out the new bar for ONE DRINK, Wade and Perry are asshats... I know it's just a game, but, every fibre in my being is saying "don't you dare support these morons!!!" Heheheh... so, not sure, I tried not to fuck Cindy (REALLY difficult to avoid!!! LOL) so I think she'll end up with Axel. The story with sticking with Lena has been pretty good I think.
The part when Jeremy tells Ian that he was told by other people that Lena has been cheating on him with different guys, because the man-whore Jeremy is a trustworthy source and how Ian is stressing about it annoys the piss out of me. Anyhow... it's been interesting. I replayed some routes just to remind myself of what happened and it was fun to do again.
I also avoided having anything to do with... what's is face, the rich guy, can't think of his name (it's late). And that has went well.
I have some other route ideas I may play with.
