It's more so that the criticism really doesn't make sense at it's core, I'm sorry lol but I've never went into a video game, saw an optional feature and then decided that the optional feature has ruined the game. I don't think it's a honest enough complaint to get it more than once. It Could also just be that guys friends, idk, but I don't really care, more just bringing it up because the point I'm making with that is, I don't think it's honest criticism. Plus The criticism is just so weird to me, that I have no idea how to take it into consideration. If the criticism was, I'm focusing too much on customization, and that the main game is starting to lack content, ok good criticism I can take into account. But how do you take in criticism that an optional feature, has completely destroyed the game because the simple fact you can customize your girl, somehow turns them into a barbies, even though...you don't have to customize them? Like I have no idea how to take the criticism.I don't know who you pissed, but I went to check the time that the last few guys who made a negative review joined, and it's so far apart that the alt account theory doesn't seem believable to me. Couldn't it have something to do with an update being released and having the game in the front page for a while that attracted more people to comment and rate?
Anyways, the point with customization in this regard (in my opinion) is that the classroom girls feel more like Barbies than characters, since they have no particular visual core feature about themselves and, because this game goes into action very fast and there's not much dialogue to have with most characters, more often than not it sorta feels like fucking a sex doll instead of a character.
Let me expand a bit more on this: Corruption as a genre has many ways of being executed, but generally speaking, you want to have an established female that isn't a slut, and through words or actions, turn her into a slut. The more defined this female is by her looks, dialogue and scenes, the more solid the corruption feels with them, because there're more elements that are transformed due to your influence. In turn, the less established the girl is because there's less conversation to be had, less scenes in which your influence manifests, no evolution to her looks (through moral and sexual degeneration, not just selecting her to be naked out of thin air), the less the corruption feels there. I imagine this is a relevant subject because the game leans heavily into the corruption kink with how the MC interacts with the women. So taking away what makes a certain character... a certain character, diminishes said corruption. This one is very to the point and fast paced in the sex encounters, and there are many characters through which the action is spread. So that already has a consequence on dialogues and scenes to be had.
Now, if you decide the benefits of customization outweight the downsides that I and other have mentioned, that is fine for me, too. I like the game as it currently is, despite the apparent flaws I've pointed. But I hope now you get my argument. At the end of a playthrough, which characters will be remembered? Racher, Sam and the Teacher, or any of the featurless students in the classroom that can be anything by not being anything, and are treated as a mob due to how little individuality there is to each of them?
Listen man, sometimes it takes more words to understand the criticism, I was just trying to understand what your criticism was exactly. It sounds like with better clarification now, the corruption is too quick, the girls are too grouped up, and because of that, combined with the customization. It takes away too much individuality. Not the customization ITSELF, but that just enhances an already existing issue. Good criticism. I can use that!
Thanks for taking the time to voice that, I really wasn't understanding the problem. I'll definitely be trying to remedy that issue for sure.
