The fact that I can no longer tell you in which chapter she looked better is exactly my point. Maybe it's just me but I notice her body change in size and shape from scene to scene. Ocean is making her "thiccer" with every update/rework. She looks great at the lake, in the gym, the night where they get drunk on the couch with that yoga outfit and the jacuzzi. She even looked good to me before the rework. Sure her face and hair were a bit fucked up but body wise, still great. I started to notice in 4.5 when you go out with her to grab pizza. Her ass and hips look are larger in that scene with the blue panties than ever before. Shit hit the fan with 4.5 full. She straight up looks ugly to me in some scenes/shots like "the wiggle" one.
I truly hated every single bit of the new update tbh. Girls look worse. New characters being injected retroactively. Story beats changing drastically. The MC's personality went from interesting to weird cringetard. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the source of his trauma was Summer playfully shoving her pinky up his ass and he snapped at the cabin. Then she moved away with her family. Every ounce of captivating atmosphere and storytelling is being washed away by generic "fixes" with every update to the point SG is borderline uninteresting to me now. I'm well aware I'm in the tiny minority here. And that's fine. At least everyone else can enjoy it.
Nah I think I understand some of the frustration, although I'm still not sure if Ocean is using different shapes for Nami and making her THICCER. I agree her body was perfection at the scenes you mentioned but I don't have a save right now to where we're slapping her ass so can't comment on that.
I can understand a little bit of some of the other things. I think the Chapter 2 Rework will take me some getting used to, it might be the nostalgia speaking, when I first played through the Chapter 2 old version I loved it, even though it looked far worse, there were some things taken out that I liked. At the same time, I liked some things that were added in Chapter 2 Rework so for me it's a mixed bag.
I'm not sure what to think about the increased panic attacks yet. On the one hand, I liked that Nami showed her nurturing and caring side to the MC while he was having one but at the same time the one with Maja seemed a little over the top.
Think there's a right balance there that needs to be achieved, otherwise he just feels too vulnerable around
everyone he's just met. That's just my opinion on it though, I know everyone is mostly praising the new rework of Chapter 2, rightfully so, there's things to praise there for sure, just giving my thoughts on what I was thinking while playing the new Chapter 2.
