Not sure what happened to this "porn" game but it really hasnt had anything erotic with jensen and his ladies since season 1. Really good renders though, just was hoping for more actual sex.
It was never a 'porn game', nor a 'harem game' any more than it was a FPS or a driving sim. Nobody ever said differently, outside the heads of some very misguided people.

Right there is the basic problem a lot of people are having. Who ever said it was a similar game? Nobody. That's only ever been in you own head, as your own mistake.

RtP was never, ever, meant to be a 'similar game' to most games. It was meant to be a story that hadn't been done before. Unique. It was never a 'porn game', nor a 'harem game' any more than it was a FPS or a driving sim. Nobody ever said differently, outside the heads of some very misguided people.

MrKnobb set out from the start to tell a story. A story that wasn't in other VNs. If you absolutely can't live without forcing a label on things then it is a Visual Novel, aimed at an adult audience, in the genre of Action Thriller. It could have been an awesome movie, but MrKnobb didn't have a spare hundred million dollars or so sitting around to afford that, so instead it is a VN.

It is meant to be an interesting story that makes you think. Apparently, mostly it succeeds in that, other than that a lot of people only think "Where's the cock?" or "Why can't I fuck my daughter?" :D
At least for a few people you succeed in telling a story that is not the same 0815 MC fucks anything, gets harem, bam end. Sadly such games with a real good story are few here, more of them would be most welcome, at least for me.

In general, I’m not interested in top games, probably too old already.:confused:
Milfy City got tired of it in half an hour, from DMD it was just sick - it rolled into some kind of insanity. In AWAM, he stopped playing and supporting, after she turned from a family history into a story of blackmail and crime, having lost its atmosphere. Detective / crime is not grateful ground for such games, love does not fit into them. Remember the great ones: Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie, Hercule Poirot, and where is love there?
BEING A DIK added to ignore, after the first part.
You can’t be offended by people because they just want to have fun after a hard day and don’t want to solve other people's problems. To see how MC solves them, it is possible, but to strain the brain itself, why?
Depends on what you call too old. 25? 35? 45? And what you would classify as top game as it is a label you yourself put on the games you play and then rate in your head.
Milfy City may be good but for me it is not a top game, same with DMD, no top game for me and the story... well meh, forget it.
But saying detective/crime is not grateful ground for such games and love doesn't fit into them... You ever touched Depraved Awakening? If not I would recommend you to try it and see for yourself. (Though I still didn't finish it as the last point I was on gave me a little fright to continue and see what happens in the end :D)
Except people did call for it.

There are a few wanting the devs to go back and redo it as a harem even though it doesn't fit any of the characters or the plot. There are also people wanting incest content even though Jensen isn't interested in that nor do the devs have any interest in adding it.

That's the problem with some people on this site. There are a few games on here that do things differently yet when told it's being done differently people keep asking the dev to change the game to suit them instead of moving on to find something that fits them better.
Its a typical 1st world problem. Getting something for free and still complaining if things are missing that the Dev/s don't want in their story because it would fuck it up. Sadly most Devs either cave in or just plain give up (at least concerning games I was that happening, can't say it for the majority). But if a Dev doesn't budge on his stance? Then he is a sadist, an as*hole, monegrabber etc.

At 45, I planned to die.;) It was a long time ago.

I do not have a better game, a better film, book, music, athlete or artist. I either like it or not, all that’s next is the disease of the fans.

It isn't a porn game.

I actually wish this was a porn game then and we had a harem of sorts here. Think about it, both the mother and daughter eyeing the same man and sleeping with them until it is decided that he looks at the younger one as a frigging daughter with no incest plot? damn and give up on all the women out there when he reeks of pheromones that makes women around him go crazy? Heck, I like the assistant better and I don't want her to be a one night stand! Man, I hate keeping multiple save files to view the endings of each and every one of them, there is nothing wrong in that, but a harem route seems to do justice with the emotions that we have played with here. Again, I honour the developer's vision on the game, but I am ranting it out here, more out of losing out a good ending with all the bombshells out there rather than the game itself.

I guess I had the vent it out...... but yeah, I just wish that it was a proper porn game with a good plot rather than a game with some porn in it.

Just a word to summarize my feeling after this update: "WHY?"
I mean, why do you have to let them go, you already have them, they think you are perfect and "kind of" agree to share you already (to be honest, I really got bored of ALL females saying the MC is perfect all the time), WHY go full white knight now? This wasn't suppose to be a "porn game" (at least it was the original premise), now it became an generic ecchi kinetic novel where your only choice is what girl do you want, and it's not even a date simulator.

OBS: Maybe this could have been a review, maybe i will write one, who knows, also who cares...

The only thing they agreed on was to wait until Jensen decided who he wanted to be with.

OBS: Maybe this could have been a review,
Sure, write a review when you've completely missed most of the major plot points. Sounds logical.

Then again it seems a lot of people here recently seem to have completely missed the words and just looked at the pictures, no idea why i'm surprised at this point.

We've only been building up to this choice since mid way through season 1, i'm sure it must come as a shock to some people, it was only built up for an entire season.

The only way this could come as a surprise to anyone is if they played the first half of season 1 then started season 3 ... or skipped the entire story which is what I think some of this lot have done.

Main story set aside, this choice has been what the girls story lines have been building up to since Jensen met Nicky and Vicky. Devs said they would add a third choice that turned out to be Eve.

This was never a secret, it was in the game and the devs were open about it I just don't understand why some people are this surprised about something that was said to be coming.

No, I get it. Believe me, there is significance in that bit where Jensen says it would all be easier if he could have a harem.

Consider this - to write all the versions, all the choices for all the girls, we have to love each of them. We have to be able to present a valid, believable, deep reason for loving each of the main girls - despite always knowing that you'd only be able to choose one, and have to be platonic with the other 2. So to a very real extent we've been suffering this a lot, lot longer than any of you.

The trouble is, it is right for the story. Nothing else would be as genuine, as legit. Easy to write, sure. But if we wanted to do easy we could have done yet another game with a kid at school banging all the girls, his mom and his aunt. No, the gritty, tough story with that real feeling of genuine characters is what we wanted. This is the price for it.

Tough as it may be, I'm still feeling the price is worth it. But if you don't feel the characters, if you don't feel torn, then you have an easy choice. What makes the choice hard is that these characters are each strong and appealing in their own right. That's what we were going for, and is the payoff for how real they feel. If you doubt the reality, tell the girl you are interested in that you want her to accept you having a harem... See how real the kick in the balls feels :D

porn/hentai's fans: "masterpiece", "unique", "adult story", "not just porn";
you: can't stand even 1st chapter, coz conversations are retarded/cliche(even for porn).
Each time it's like this...

Life never goes as planned, thats for sure. But hey, more time to enjoy the fun things in life :D

And yeah, thats one way to see it and I can't disagree with you on that. Its actually a pretty good stance.

Though quite emotional at least your rant about what you don't like in this game is somewhat more constructive in my eyes as many others before you. Especially since you honour the developer's vision on the game and don't DEMAND that they change it :D

I may take a stance with the Dev's on this game's story, but I too wish there would be a chance with Andi, Amber or some other characters of the cast (like with GP Marias assistant Penny, sadly). There is none, at least with Jensen, so ok accept and move on. But at least we get to see some of them in action, just not with Jensen, that provides a little bit of satisfaction I believe.

No spoilers, but choose Nicky. That's all I'm saying.

Hahaha, reality sucks for some of us here :) If our reality was rocking then we wouldn't be here playing porn games :D. It is tough to accept that but yes, It is true from the plot point of view of on where it is headed. If the story is envisioned that way by the story teller here then it ought to be it. It is better to have an original "sad" ending rather than a gussied up "good" ending.

Hehe, as far as harem goes, the right girl will give you right opportunities ;), just make sure that you reap what you sow if she gets a harem of her own lol.

I'm actually fine with Solo routes. I mean half of the sex we got was because of the Pheromones and we lost that at the End of S1. All games don't need a harem especially if it wouldn't work story wise and if you're trying to be realistic. Though harems do exist still today.

I never was expecting a harem from this game to begin with. I was more so there for the story in S1 and S2 made it easier with Evaline for a single choice(she is a choice right?). Though that said the women choice does seem a bit limited(only 3 women correct) from what I've been reading here. I still haven't reached S3 but spoilers are fine for me as long as it's not Plot related.

Oh and because i saw it mentioned, Dual Family was not a good game from what i remember. It was a glorified Dad worshipping Sim tbh. It made the son look like he was the bad guy while the Dad was some god with the Aunt, Niece and the sister all being obsessed with him for reason i don't remember but was most likely pretentious. Obviously there was some of the context but i don't remember and that game hasn't been updated in god knows how long(probably 2 years now).

The 3 women aren't a spoiler, they are the only 3 Jensen was interested in with regards to a relationship and the only 3 he's spent any time with throughout S2.

Nicky, Vicky and Eve.

Nicky and Vicky were the obvious 2 given he was debating which one to date going through S1 and Eve was added to the group at the start of S2.
