or i already saw too much xD
Well, I'll put it this way; no, it isn't just great renders and animations as well as great models that makes this a good game, but there IS a story too and I like the story. And everything that's going on in the story in the present time, has everything to do with the past, as the title suggests, and with every episode we learn more and more, so it's not just random things happening for no reason, not at all :p

Afortunately, not all member of the human race have the same tastes.
ya don't have to remind me what different tastes mean... really,... :cautious::confused:...
i just think that some reviewers are too easygoing with their ratings. 4,5 stars means, it's an almost perfect game.

To them it is, reviews and opinions have always been subjective, they rarely are objective, people like what they like, and people dislike what they dislike, you don't have to agree either way, but it doesn't make their opinion any less valid :)

And not all have the same yardstick to qualify ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i see... this is getting nowhere, 'cause it's going that opinion line again (exactly that line i tried to avoid). sry for wasting your time talking about these ratings. guess i'm going back to threads where i normally stick around.

No need to be sorry, we just have different point of views, that's all, we can just respectfully agree to disagree, is all good :)

agreed with the renderings...but did it really just boil down to graphics to make a porn game good enough to receive such high ratings?
Kind of i guess. Well this probably goes for most of us here. But like you know those text based porn games. Like some people love that stuff and the stories as i heard are really good. But most of us are visual kind of people.For me if the story is incredible but the visuals are bad or not even present it just doesent do it for me. So if the visuals are awesome we can deal with a sub par story.

I know people don't like the crossovers with Our Fate but I was just so flabbergasted when my name popped up in this game. MrKnobb must've accessed the save file from Our Fate to get the name given to Our Fate's protagonist. Made me giggle a bit.

I'll be brutally honest, this feels a little bit like a game where the dev wants to do something else, but threw porn in as a draw. It just feels a little like fanservice, how there's sort of inserted a "sexy scene" and keeping a proper sex scene in the future as a draw to keep playing, while the plot goes off on its own a little. It's hard to explain exactly what it means, but it feels like all the porn content is a side-story to the main plot, where it's only kind of related. I still like the game, but it went from being one of my potential favorites to something I'll keep playing just because I started it.

Not alot of choices with this update, it felt like MRknob just threw a ton of plot at us and we just had to watch it... :)
I won't even attempt to 'channel' @MrKnobb here, or speak for him, but I can say that when a game is still being created and released in stages and chapters, there are basically 2 ways you can go:

You can either go broad, with lots of choices and branches, which gives you lots of options, but then has actual progress split between all the alternate routes (so, for example, if in a given update timeframe you had time to create 30 minutes worth of extra plot development and renders, but had to split that over 3 alternate paths, you'd only get maybe 10 minutes of updated play on any one path you took per update).

Or you can go narrow, focusing mostly on advancing the central plot and storyline, and once that main path is complete, go back to add in alternate paths and branches to create a finished game.

The choices you have made in these first six chapters (mainly in the last 3) all ultimately affect the ending you are going to get. So there are choices, there are several of them, and they have a serious effect on the game ending.

I think it is clear that MrKnobb decided to go with the path that gives us greater advancement in the story and plot - and given that even as a player, before my more 'inside' involvement, I got the feeling this plot was going to be very big, and very complex, I personally think that's probably the best option. This isn't one of those slice of life or life sim style games where the plot is just about how many girls a college student can get into a harem, and the big plot twist is whether or not he goes to the nightclub at the weekend. Just from the title of the game alone you get the sense that this story has a plotline that spans years, and involves a lot more than just the day to day activities in the life (and city) of Jensen today.

No spoilers here, but there is a huge story to be told, and for that to all come out at an enjoyable pace, given the time-consuming nature of rendering hundreds of images, I think you'll soon understand why the story's depth of progression is a little more important than it's breadth of options, at least for now.
