Ok thank you very much for the answers.
I think you've found a gem in Summers Gone!
As I imagine it did for anyone with a half functional brain. Unless we find out the MC developed multiple personality disorder after whatever happened at the cabin. That would explain why in the reworks the guy is all over the place.
Interesting, because in the version I played he
That's right,one of the reasons i played this game was Mc's personality, he's unique, you can feel his macabre acts. And the way the npc's react to your decisions is really well done. If Ocean gives us the option to mold the MC I'll probably still be a psycho, maybe a bit normal but also a psycho.
The guys here pretty much answered this, but I think it will be interesting for you to read the Dev post about the "dark route" and the MC's personality:OK decided to finally give this game a try with all the reviews and talk it has surrounding it and I don't mind a story driven slow-burn.
Now question I have is does MC ever change and become more approachable?
First few minutes of the game and he shows signs of being a psychopath, a sociopath, and on the spectrum.
Im not that far in and just got to the college introduction but his whole demeanor the entire time has been nothing short of super unlikeable.
The renders are beautiful and the girls seem somewhat interesting atleast so far.
My half functional brain is a bit confused as to why anyone still would expect the MC to keep his trench coat and shotgun if the Dev has said it many times that the game will be all about healing and personal improvement. Unfortunately, it is not the MC who develops multiple personality disorder. You really shouldn't keep two conflicting versions of the game in mindAs I imagine it did for anyone with a half functional brain. Unless we find out the MC developed multiple personality disorder after whatever happened at the cabin. That would explain why in the reworks the guy is all over the place.
The edgier and darker MC in the earlier iteration of the story is what pulled me in. Yes he came across as an unlikeable asshole but that at least he was interesting. This revised version is pretty much devoid of all emotion and, quite frankly, logic that the story used to have. A watered-down rendition of what was once a uniquely amazing introduction to a story that prioritizes maistream appeal for a wider audience.
I can always count on the panic attack scenes to shatter any sense of immersion I had as I burst out laughing, praying for Ocean to give us that sweet line of dialogue "I'm literally shaking and crying right now"
The revised version is not devoid of emotions, just the tone of emotions has changed and this is not to your liking. And here my half functional brain suddenly turned on a chorus in my head, singing "You can't always get what you want." (consequences of re-watching House M.D, I guess).The story doesn't say that MC's have PTSD. If the author wrote that Summer was killed in front of his eyes, in this case, post-traumatic syndrome on his face. But even so, something must happen to make the MC cry, like when he saw Victoria's eraser.
as far as I know, the old version of the game before the rework was created by Regium, which became popular. According to this MC behaves differently. In the new version of Ocean, you have lost the fast-paced plot and actions that reveal the nature of new characters. On the other hand, a lot of unnecessary conversations and actions have appeared that do not make sense like a board game in the library. Therefore, it seems to you that the game has lost all emotions.
It's so fun to read older comments and compare to what's going on now.
It is tough to portray someone who is dealing with deep mental trauma - trauma that he has not dealt with in a healthy fashion for years - and is now actively working on trying to overcome.
all mankind is built on comparisons and disputes. People always try to choose the best and it's not just about games. If there were no disputes, how would you be able to distinguish a good game from a bad one?
The easiest way I can think of is to just open the "game" folder and delete all files named ChapterN_image.rpa. There are still some background and menu images left, but for most of the story, you'll be reading on a black screen with an annoying red "image 'xxxx' not found" message at the top.
You're right in a way. But in this case, you have no choice here if you want to continue the story. If you or anyone else likes the old version, that's your decision, but you won't get fresh content for that. The author decided to reshape the MC and some other characters and continues on this path. If someone doesn't like this, then leave the game and play with someone else. The discussion and comparison would make sense if both versions always received new content. And it is not necessary to argue about what is a good game and what is a bad game. It's just a matter of perspective. I love red haired women, but many people don't. Should I argue about this then? Everyone likes something different, and that's fine, but there are many things that aren't worth arguing about. You have to get over it...
out of context but I hope MC invites Bella to his roomIt is tough to portray someone who is dealing with deep mental trauma - trauma that he has not dealt with in a healthy fashion for years - and is now actively working on trying to overcome.
I think Ocean has done a good job representing the MC as someone who is still afflicted with panic attacks, but he is actively challenging himself to now push on through instead of isolating himself from the world as before.
One of my favorite scenes of SG includes the onset of a panic attack and what follows.

I believe that, with time, other LIs will have a similar effect, but Bella is clearly the first in this regard.
CH 4.5 had almost no Bella content in it and yet, the way CH 4.5 ended - with Bella's arrival and what it meant to the MC, we got exactly the right amount of Bella time and just when we needed it.
Cheers!!
If he manage to do that, he should go out of the room for 20-30 minutes. To let Bella all her poverty jokes out of her...out of context but I hope MC invites Bella to his room
Based on the previews of them relaxing in Bella's car, this is not going to happen (or it wasn't revealed in the previews). But if she comes for a while, I would like to see her locked in the same room with Nami. Either this will end in a catfight, or two more crazy girls will team up against the MC.
Nam&Bella&catfight? I don't see a catfight. It would be like heavyweight boxing championship. I can't see those two to fight with teeth and nails...Based on the previews of them relaxing in Bella's car, this is not going to happen (or it wasn't revealed in the previews).
