VN Ren'Py Race of Life [Act 1 v1.04.5] [Underground Studio]

[guidedbyvoices]

Finally, someone who gets it. I wholeheartedly agree, my man. I personally consider ALL women deserve to be loved, respected, supported unconditionally and cherished (especially) IRL and in fiction, but all those sweet things fly out the window the next sec women themselves say through their own words and/or actions they don't deserve this treatment.

Accountability for one's own words and actions and Allison seem to mix as good as fire and water or oil and water do. She loved the MC soo much she still holds a grudge against him after a few years since the divorce, but she didn't really put that much effort into saving their marriage, and ironically, she expected from him to do the same things he expected from her, including the sexual aspect of the marriage.

From my experience with those women and what I could make of after reading about those personality disorders, I think their main drive isn't to be happy (as in, what's conventionally considered to be happy) but to be able to have as many emotional outburst as they want, when they want, with the least amount of repercussions. It's like they didn't develop a fully adult personality, they got stuck somewhere between a (moody) child and a (moody) teenager and that's where their worst behaviour comes from, like intentionally creating problems, sabotaging the peace, being attention whores...

This is why they not only don't want a peaceful and stable relationship, but they actively sabotage it when they feel it got too peaceful and stable.

Inside this faulty logic, she did nothing wrong by being a moody bitch, she thinks he had no reason to cheat on her because she wasn't cheating on him. This is why she is so angry, besides pride, because she doesn't feel he had a reason, since it's his job in the relationship to put up with her being a moody bitch.

Those two idiots deserve each other and should get back together just so we could see them trying to kill each other for the most trivial nonsense you can think of, smfh.

It's definitely funny to watch and I love to push the "Fight back!" button during arguments. I can think of several ideas for their romance path, being full of arguments and conflicted and turbulent emotions. But it's a fucking nightmare to live through it, unless you are as emotionally unstable as her.

 

[lorddarkam]

That's why Kris is Best Girl. (Fuck, I really do have a type )

As for the rest, you're basically spot on, but I'm not sure about Nat being evil, per-se. It'll all be revealed when the MC gets more done with his project I guess. I could certainly see a "She stole it!" "reveal" that basically everyone paying attention saw coming.

Kris and Natalya are the hottest girls until now

 

[Gubelicious]

but no Veronica.

Nah cmon now I actually like Veronica she is a must need for every new episode

no need delete the game. you can get rid of veronica viktoria. you can have fun with the game

 

[Bryan_Colt]

i was semi sort of joking i am not deleting anything but i am tired of real life creeping into gaming and more people seem to support

that shit which raises my rage to unlimited, i am a harem kind of dude i do not care i want them all if i am to pay for anything in this life

i would pay for fantasy, and i hate choices in any game and that is why i use mods to remove choices.

 

[Steuan]

You mixed up the Allison picture, here is the correct one:
View attachment 4415743
she is really something special to all the other women!

Well... then try Volkswagen because of the emissions scandal

Nah cmon now I actually like Veronica she is a must need for every new episode

 

[Bryan_Colt]

I hope the mc can afford to get his daughter her own room when she is going to get better and try not to let her out of his sight lazy

bum.

 

[SamualHand]

Well... then try Volkswagen because of the emissions scandal

Why don't you like the Polski Fiat? It's a marble car no other can compete with it!

Skjall Don't you want to confirm that Allison is special? She is not like the other girls....

 

[Prokopije]

Special like super cool or "special" like eating wall chalk for breakfast?

 

[pavan23559]

I'm on Veronica path and stayed loyal to her. She seems pretty cool. .

We can find at least 100 good reasons to hate Allison and believe those two getting back together after everything that's happened between them is complete nonsense storywise that can only work out by using porn 'logic', but after all the complaining about the MC and ALL the Veronica trolling, I find it very disappointing that almost nobody is afraid some lunatic like Wyatt will try to do something to Delilah out of spite and to sabotage the MC's so far too-smooth progress in his endeavor to make money for his daughter's treatment and become someone in the scientific community.

I think Delilah's almost-abusive everyday use in a mostly street racing game, where she's playing a crucial part in MC's winning streak, should be illegal, ffs. Dude drives her everywhere, even when going grocery shopping and picking up his daughter from school, when he should go get himself a shitty car he can afford to abuse for that kinda day-to-day use.

Fuck Allison and her nagging ass, she can get run over by a damn truck or a tank AFTER Lily wakes up from her coma, and I wouldn't give a shit, tho I'd prolly drink some champagne to celebrate it, BUT Delilah needs to be treated more carefully, with more respect and more love, like the mechanical boss bitch she is, not a glorified GTA pickup truck. If Allison can't understand the simple fact that Delilah's the most important and helpful girl in MC's life after his daughter, she's welcome to go fuck off right back on the streets where she belongs.

I completely agree. The MC should get a damn gold medal for courage and superior pair of balls for being able to resist for years in a loveless marriage with all that nagging, neglecting, constant arguing and barely any intimacy and hints of love still being left between them, not to get his balls busted for doing what at least 7/10 men would've done in his case. I know I wouldn't put up with it, and I'm pretty sure at least 9/10 women IRL wouldn't either, not for that long, which is why I think their reconciliation is nothing more than a big ass fan service to whoever's interested in her.

That's you, and just like you have your own tastes, preferences and opinions in what's good or not in porn games, so do other ppl. Just ignore the comments and porn games you don't like, only focus on those you do, and you should be good.

However, there needs to be a certain percentage of realism in the story for a more interesting experience, otherwise non NTR porn game stories would be almost as engaging as cuck/slut simulators are with their overused, boring, nonsensical shit about women who're perfect 9s and 10s fucking guys who're perfect 1s and 2s for a sane woman with an ounce of self-esteem only on a good day and only after a looot of drinks and months spent without getting any dick. That's why non NTR stories like this one are always better than that cringey ass rapey shit.

The story changes drastically between the Hate and Reconciliatory approach. The devs really pushed "responsibility" to one or the other... as in almost a complete role swap. Yes I know both were at fault, but they really go out of their way to try and set primary ownership on one or the other.

If you are on the Hate path, MC says it was Allie who turned the marriage loveless, was never home, always working, and ignored him. And she doesn't disagree.

If you are on the reconciliatory path, Allie says the MC turned the marriage loveless, he was always gone, always working on Delilah, never home, and broke her heart when he spent more time under Delilah than her. MC even owns up to it on a few of the scenes.

The devs really went out of their way to diverge that part of the storyline, and it makes it really complex to discuss as you have to caveat your take with the path you took as the story changes.

 

[Maviarab]

Again....this happens on both paths, it is not a hate path exclusive conversation. I have this convo on my reconcile save.

 

[cooldevo]

Oh it is, but it's very much minimized compared to the rest of the conversation. Just like on the other path, it's all discussed but there's a larger focus of the talking one way or the other.

 

[Naps-On-Dirt]

Like the dev is making a self fulfilling prophecy so that whichever route you take with her is the "right choice".

I think the devs read some of the comments in the thread on this seemingly never-ending debate and simply wanted to be done with it for good by letting the players themselves choose who's the one responsible for everything, which, if you ask me, it's wrong, bcz we don't have just one person to blame here here, we have two, both of them are, and the main one only changes genders, depending on which path you take with Allison.

If you are on the Hate path, MC says it was Allie who turned the marriage loveless, was never home, always working, and ignored him. And she doesn't disagree.

There's always two sides to every accusation or story like that, but in this case, it's too much. The writer overcomplicated things for no reason, when a simple "they tried and it didn't work out cuz of this and that more or less valid reason, but their lack of life experience when making the big step toward getting married was the main reason why the marriage didn't work".

The bottom line is, shit happens, a lot of long term relationships and marriages don't last forever, ppl eventually grow apart, they say and do things they later come to regret, and everyone deserves to be forgiven as long as they work hard to earn their forgiveness and prove to their partners they deserve that second chance. So, whether the player wants Jake and Allison to be together again or not, it's a simple matter of having two different saves for both routes, and nothing more than that.

The devs really went out of their way to diverge that part of the storyline, and it makes it really complex to discuss

Yeah, it's why so many white knights always jump to her defense, most of the time, without taking both sides of the story into account and just cuz they saw it was the MC who cheated on her, instead of taking the logical step to divorce her first and then look for other women, to which I can only say that she didn't take this 'logical' step either, didn't put too much effort into saving their marriage until it was too late for that, but it's safe to say they both only stayed together for Lily's sake. She's the only reason why Jake and Allison didn't divorce and go their separate ways, like it usually happens IRL.

 

[Pr0GamerJohnny]

All this longwinded analysis of Allison seems so utterly silly in this context - this is a porn game first and foremost and shouldn't make apologies.

I mean, can any of you even imagine a narrative where mc had split with his wife, their daughter was in an accident and hospitalized, and mc through choices could either try and make up with the wife or push her away...... but in nearly all cases the wife was having massive amounts of sex on the side with others....

That'd be seen as a ridiculous over the top ntr-style horror story. Clearly the tone of this game isn't going for that - but that's my point, it's utterly silly to apply real world relationship logic to a world built on non-existent rules.

I was very disappointed to see the only Allison sex scene be placed on the hate route - that pretty clearly communicated to me where the dev's personal interests lie. (this is all an aside ofc, Veronica and Maggie's path are far more enjoyable than either of Allisons)
