Yeah, a very strong emotional scene, especially these contrasting images, like Amber being happy for her daughter and wishing her a good date vs. Nami trying to put on a brave face and hiding her pain behind a parting hug like she'll never see him again.
Dude it's an Ocean game. SOMEONE is always crying and usually it's me :HideThePain:
But seriously runny mascara should be his company logo.
Breaking Victorias heart was hard enough, i almost don't want to visit Nia in the next update.
We haven't even talked about Sasha, Zara, Nadia and Sonya. Rivers of tears are still to come lemme tell you. RIVERS :FacePalm:

The nature of the relationship between some characters is visible to everyone, and in WIAB it's even worse. Friend Leia, my ass :)
Yes, in the WIAB thread there are semi-regular jokes about Willi and Leia "bestest roommates 4eva";) and the like, since the patched and unpatched version of old WiaB were even clearer on this. But even new WiaB is rather open about it. When Willi tells Kati that he can always get under her skin even today, she answers him that as long as he does not get under Leia´s skirt all is good. Well, if the teaser pics we got for ch.3 are to believed, on the "reconciliation with Leia too" path he even keeps to that. Leia does not wear a skirt then...:sneaky:
And we also see that Willi sends a very enjoying look down Leia´s dressneck at breakfast, Helen is spying on the two what they do when alone, there is still something between the two.
While only some bits of old WiaB´s storyline will be transfered to new WIAB, there was a scene in the old version where Willi and Leia are in bed together. They only go down on each other, because Leia is unprotected. But they keep it like that not because she is fertile, but Leia says herself, she would fuck him right here, but she does not know currently if he will be staying in Wollust.

So I tihnk in any of the WiaB storylines were Willi and Leia reconcil we can be rather sure Ayua will have halfsibling(s).

Although everything you said is true, I meant something else, just put it wrong. I meant rather how are they related to each other. "Step-roommate", "blood friend", these kind of things. I've no doubts they are going to roommate as rabbits:) But I really liked the remastered Miru, and if William treats her well, she reveals herself as a very caring, witty and loyal person, always standing by MC's side, helping him reconnect with his, *wink*-*wink*, friends. Something about her reminds me of Nami.

Ah, I see! On the topic of Miru: I also liked old Miru, but new Miru is everything you say.

honestly (based on the content so far) I only really see Bella, Nami and Victoria that I'd go for... sure, there are some really good looking girls in the game but they're not very well developed yet, so my thinking could change in the future, we'll see

Agree for the most part but as you know, we hardcore gamers are a very superficial bunch so it should be obvious that I would kill everyone in this room and then myself for a simple smile from the russian assassin with the scarred face. That is the way it's meant to be played. Don't really give two shits about the others but that could change at any given moment. Or in like 2 years when the next patch will drop.

Man, I love Bella, but it broke my heart to see Nami cry, fuck this game, fuck this dev and fuck every single person that recommended this amazing game. Instead of a blueballing warning, we should have a too much feels warning.

My only solace is the fact that people seem to imply that Nami + Bella is possible, because I am already regretting my choice.
You know what game just absolutely fucking broke me? My Bully is My Lover. (Which he's got to come with a better name for, or at least one that makes telling people this not quite so embarrassing.)

The thing I've discovered I like about this medium, when it's something other than pornography, is an element of completely unselfconscious melodrama I've never come across anywhere else in modern fiction. I mean, Summer's Gone is about a traumatized grouch picking which girl to date freshman year of college, and Ocean's turned that into a grand Byronic tragedy through sheer aesthetic power and totally unwavering commitment to the idea that it all matters.

I can't think of any other contemporary form that can pull off that level of sincerity. Even the best of it has this morbid level of self-doubt baked in from the get go. As if every human passion is just a passing malady to get through on the way to a proper state of broken indifference.

Never even looked at that game for exactly this reason. Might have to reconsider.

Welcome to nihilism young padawan. There is a whole world out there to not care about. :BootyTime:

Did you account for the fact that Ocean works on 2 games and it's the other game's turn right now?
He 2 separate PCs rendering each game.

Haven't checked out that game, but "My Bully is my lover" is a very trashy anime sounding title, and kind of makes sense with the aesthetics. Will probably check it out, how far long is the content for it?

Summer's gone has plenty of content already.

I know I'm late into this and that I will get banned by mentioning another VN, but I think I've found the new LoF, and that is the biggest compliment I can give since that VN had the best story out there, and Summer's Gone matches it to the punch!! Congratulations and keep up the good work!!!!

Funny you should say that. While this game has been slow in development, with rework of earlier chapters still ongoing, it actually predates LoF by nearly a year!

Not sure if I agree with it being as emotional quite yet. That game had me in tears. Either way, both good games.

SG has much better visuals but the tradeoff is that it is going to take so much longer to complete, this seems to have actually started before LOF like another poster said. Wow. There are pros and cons to perfectionism.

I'd say there's about as much content? It's much, much sillier than SG, (though what isn't?), but it's got a way of slowly sneaking more and more of these little heartbreaking details into what seems at first like another ridiculous porn game. And all of sudden it's 3 in the morning and the masturbation fodder you downloaded to while away a few hours of insomnia just made you weep.

"Summer's gone has plenty of content already."

I mean, so does The Lord of the Rings, but you can't just keep rereading it for the rest of your life.

I don't think so. I think it's just some kind of intellectually decayed epicurianism plus malaise. Real nihilists tend to be remarkably immune to self doubt. Their own conclusions are the one thing they fervently believe in, with a faith that would make a saint blush.
