Not sure why it's embarrassing and cringe. Lots of people dislike her, but lots of people like her. She's a very good character, as well as being incredibly attractive (both my opinion since they are subjective).

Btw how about the development/release cycle for this game ?

I wouldn't say childish, and obviously (from the context we are given) neither of them put in enough effort for their marriage, you can't pin that entirely on the MC. The cheating part yes obviously. But that didn't come out nowhere. Also he didn't "become" committed to Lily. He was a good father before all that, even Allie admits that much.

Mmm, I think you're making the MC look bad in order to make Allison look much better than she really is. He has always been a good father to Lily, not just after the accident. Even Allison, the person who loves and hates him the most at the same time, acknowledges it.

Sure, the MC shouldn't have cheated, but I doubt he did it because he was bored of the perfect life he had with his ex-wife and daughter. From my POV, both failed as a couple and didn't put the necessary effort to save their marriage, but since the MC was the one who cheated he's seen as "the bad guy" here (and I get it, because Allison wouldn't be as loved if she was the one who had the affair instead of Jake).

Allison (aside being a good song from my youth) was a helicopter mom who was also a career-focused workaholic. That didn't live much room in her life for her husband (this happens all the time with marriages, and why the divorce rate is so high). He got frustrated and gave in to temptation with a bitch that was only looking for drama, then dumped him. They were both at fault. My problem with Allison was that she blamed it all on him (denying any responsibility for problems), and took it out on him in front of their kid (which is a shitty thing to do to a kid, never mind to him).

In the game I always try to play nice with Allison because it's better for her to heal, and most of all, better for Lilly. I will never play a run where they completely reconcile. Good coparents are what I'm after with her, aside for maybe a hate-fuck to get it out of their systems.

I honestly think the last chapter, if you take Allison with you, is a great insight into her psyche. It seems Allison is too influenced by the image she thinks she should have; she's gone from Miss Wet T-Shirt to No Bikini Because Mom Doesn't Wear Bikinis.

Sorry, sorry, sorry! I honestly didn't remember exactly how their relationship exactly was described in the beginning of the game.
Thanks for reminding me what it was really like! I do agree with everything you guys said about it.

100% and I hate people like that in real life. It's bad enough to lie to others, but to lie like that to yourself and try to force the lie on others ruins lives.

So speculation on your part. Got it.

well yeah but it's a Reasonable guess considering how Cooper acts. I wasn't the one that brought it up or anything but just saying it would be a good guess he can act a bit childishness once in awhile when with him. I can't think of anything in game other than how he acts in his relationship with V at least until the player decides to stay on her path.

How is it speculation? He still acts like a 12 year old throughout the Vn at times, as does his fucking idiot best friend. The pair of them in reality are grade A morons and kids at times.

Yep, I like the story and several of the women in it, especially V. But I definitely don't identify with the MC. I've known guys just like him in my life and didn't like any of them. Jus' Sayin':cool:

I see that several languages are offered, which is great, but French is missing. Please think of French players and translate it into that language as well.

You're asking gooner pirates to translate a game for you? You do realize that this is not the game's homepage, right?

These are better ways to make that request. Translators cost money, though, so unless you're a patron it's kind of a rude request.
