The big baddie in your profile provided a ton of drama to GGGB. There were plenty of negative consequences to your choices, you could destroy your relationships with people, destroy them emotionally or even make them kill themselves, there was drama between Jack and his brother, love triangles, family drama, etc etc. And Arthur was the meanest of the bunch.I thought you were just talking about the relationship with Ryan alone.
Good to know. Often female protagonists will be critizised for things that are seen normal for male protagonists.
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.
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, 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.
I see choices on ORS having even more clear downsides to them. If you push for one girl, you lose another, if you try to fuck one, you'll destroy your relationship with your friend, Lena has to make compromises to make ends meet, work for Seymour (who looks to be the next Arthur), hook up with Robert or lose her job,choose to help the cafe owners and his parents, avoid her crazy exboyfriend...
