If I remember right, Ocean was worried about the upcoming Steam release. First impressions are key and the first two chapters weren't worthy of the quality he has reached in newer content. I can understand his point of view. I think he promised this would be the only rework of the game. Let's see how things will pick up after the rework is done in Chapter 5 full. He has been doing a lot of quality content for the rework, and then all of that work will be only for new content!
but he is not only doing a rework, he is changing the story too, we got 2 new characters this update, the red white hair...wtv that seems to be a friend of Sasha and Robin,and Eva, who´s strong first impresion dissapear right after cause we dont see her again, oh, and an incident that looks like a set up for some problems later.
Also, by what u are saying, then we have 1 more update of rework, 2 if the next one is as small as this one, cause he needs to rework many scenes like the game when MC gets his balls crushed, the night with Bella or Nami, victoria´s breakdown, the second visit to Bella´s house and im sure im forgeting a couple scenes more.
