Well, since lot of people offered their thoughts, I guess I can share few observations too.
First lets says few things about current state of game. It's fine, there is decent amount of sex scenes. Quality of renders is very good. Especialy for beginner. As far as I am concerned I don't like femdom, but it's easy to avoid, so no reason to protest. I haven't play story mode, since it's later introduced, besides, it's easy to play this game in free roam, and hint system is rather hand holder. There is some grind, but it's not terrible. Only thing I would suggest is to reduce both prices and earnings, but ok. There is decent amount of teasing and foreplay scenes, which can be boring, but I would say developer didn't exaggerate, and there were some sex scenes introduced pretty early, so it's ok.
EDIT: MC looks like a young adult. He is tall, handsome, has a baby face... he has a pretty decent sized dick, for sure, but it fits rest of his body... He is rush, and pretty naive at certain points, yet he is quick thinking, and sly...
Maybe he could be more aggressive and cocky (as future crime lord), but it would make him less likable I guess...
Why it's not more popular? There is a lot of games here, and it's not easy to make a breakthrough. Especially for beginners. Established devs have plentiful resources, established fan base and reputation...
About the MC? I went to begining of this thread and read it... There is few things we need to remember, original concept was quite different. I would even say it's different game.
Robbery1211 did the right thing and started new thread, but mods merged threads, so it didn't really help. Gangsta rap might be interesting and unexplored concept, but for me personally, there is no appeal... Many of players are from the Europe, and such things are not really popular, especially in Eastern Europe (ok, I am here speaking from my own, Eastern European perspective, but this seems like logical explaination to me). Same goes to White/Black MC.... if I have choice, I will prefer white.
There were some complaints about lead girl character... well, I might be wrong, but I think it's about preference. Lana was one who gave here holes to MC earlier, she was the first who went to be his plaything... I guess, many developed preference for this character, and felt that Robin "took" Lana's place as a rightful girlfriend... As far as I am concerned, I prefer Robin character (she is supportive of MC, allows him to lead her, mold her.. etc... but ok, it's just my opinion)... Besides, in the end MC will bed both of them together.
That said, this was not a review, I will wait bit more to post it. Also, this was not request or anything like that, I do not support game financially, and really have no right to demand features. I like it at current form... and I hope dev will continue good job, and of course, he will be more sucessfull.
