There is at least one big lie there.

I do believe the kiss with Bella has the wrong music. Scene before and after has a deeper, more mysterios touch. Hints of melancholy even. The kiss movie has a lighthearted song.
It feels like a very unnatural transition.
But I agree in general with you. I just hope more mood music is included, music to set up the ambient of the story.

I mean... you may not like the game, or the dev, doesn't make it a lie. It is one of the best AVNs in development. This site, in the download section, even confirms it.

Sad that board game sucks and is completely linear.

Number of views and likes not necessarily make it one of the best.
Popular is not equal to quality. Steam is full of crappy games that are popular. Moreover, rankings are even more biased here as they evaluate unfinished products.
Acting Lessons, from the same dev, is way less popular and way better novel.
You are conflating popular with best. But don't worry, it's a way too common mistake.
Some of my favorite tracks in SG include a few that are no longer licensed (they will live on in mods but not in Steam SG) so here is part of my mix (not in any order, just Fun):Hey gang, how about we discuss music instead of waifu wars and troll fights? Personally, I find the soundtrack in SG quite depressing, but I've come up with a few powerful favorites:
1. Plays during the first kiss with Bella.
2. All tracks of Grace Mesa, the best music anti-depressant.
3. Nami vs Bella fight
4.Tennis training. Also gives BaDIK vibes
5. And my favorite track. Velvethead is something next level. Band name almost like in Become a Rockstar
What about the rest of you, do you have any favorite tracks?
Summer's Gone: The Game Soundtrack, Mattijs Muller - Through New Eyes When my Bella drives all night to come home to me:
Summer's Gone Soundtrack - Sound and Vision - This Party Bussin' This is perhaps my favorite dancing song from SG - I Can't sit or stand still when this comes on!
Summer's Gone - Only love can hurt like this (CHP4) Humble Hey feat. Emmi - What My Mama Said This is moving and Poignant, perfect for showing the emotions Bella is coming to grips with... Maybe she's found the one... (This is my favorite SG song to sing, at least so far
)Summer's Gone - Because you like me... ┃Waykap - Give My All To You The perfect song for two broken people who find something unexpected in each other, perhaps the missing piece that makes each of them whole again... Only time - and Ocean - will tell! (My comment from this video more than one year ago.)

I disagree that the ending came out of nowhere and it was precisely the ending is what makes it so good. Not that there is anything bad with an ending coming out of nowhere if it fits the novel. I do hate it when the "out of nowhere" is a deus ex machina just to save the day. But it was not like this here. Nor it was a "somehow, Palpatine survived".You serious? The plot is kinda meh and the ones whose carry it till the end are Melissa and Mah boi LIAM
The formula is, overall, quite simple. First, meet the characters. Second, get to care about the characters. Third, glimpse at a super happy ending. Fourth, totally destroy those expectations, generating an emotional connection with the reader. It is actually the reason so many dislike it, that it made them feel bad about it. Five, give an okeyish ending, not leaving the reader totally devastated but not putting him up either.
Let's not get sidetrack though. There is a place to talk about that and it is not this. My bad.
We lost some good and great songs But we still have so many more that I enjoy.
I also believe that with Steam success, SG will get both the resourcing and access to even better music.
For now though, I am back to my SG playlist!
Cheers!!
Honestly in my opinion looking at those videos you can see that Bella fell and fell hard the second her and the mc kissed the first time.Some of my favorite tracks in SG include a few that are no longer licensed (they will live on in mods but not in Steam SG) so here is part of my mix (not in any order, just Fun):

Which of the above are removed as of ch5? Please don't say all of them. I enjoy those 3 the most, on top of the song Demons...

Amber, Sasha, and Vic for mine in no particular order.So - on to more important matters - who are your top 3 LI's for the MC, based on what we know so far?
You already know that I am a Bella first guy.
For me, the rest of the top 3 are:
Zara
Amber
I like Nami, Mila, Nadia, Sonya, Sasha and Vic but for a top 3, these are my current fav's.
Given that we still have 25+ chapters to go, I suspect that there are a number of the other women (listed above and not) who will grow in favor as their stories are told.
As always, Good to 'see' you!
Cheers!!
Mila and Nami very close behind.

I think Ocean said that some of the songs by "Late Kids" will be deleted.. but I also think that he later contacted the artists directly and got some new deals(?)
I really hope this gets to stay in the game..
Also, Vesky has some great tracks in the game and such a great artist overall.

Nah, not exactly. That's what I love so much about Ocean's character building. The feeling grew and developed, there were so many little hints here and there. If she likes the MC, she lies next to him while they work on a project together in her room, otherwise she lies much further away. She grabs his head and pulls him to her chest out of nowhere as they waiting for Mrs. Harrison in the empty classroom. She was more worried than she wanted to show when she saw the MC after the fight with Sai. Finally, the scene in the changing room of the store: the tension is obvious to both of them, they just don't admit it explicitly. And the kiss was the culmination where Bella's feelings were finally revealed, and for herself, too, which is why she panicked so much.
I'll add in Ocean's willingness to use freelancers to create important sets. The outdoor field/track is a set that was created by a freelancer hired by Ocean specifically for this task and I think the track looks great!
The phone is another example of someone hired by Ocean, but this person dropped the ball.
Ocean has some help with the phone, but he is still doing significant coding work to make the phone for SG (and then WIAB).
____________________________________
Here is some info about the phone from the May 17 Dev Log:
As mentioned above, the work on the phone has begun. Good boi Messe has created a lot of fantastic-looking UIs for me. The coding part is definitely the hardest, as I'm still doing it myself. But I'm getting there. Here's the current main menu.
Progress is pretty fast, even though the phone takes quite a few hours away from setting up scenes atm.

Cheers!!
This scene made me start a new playthrough of:
XCOM2, LWOTC - heavily modded so I have all the classes from SG (and then some) but it lacks the sophistication to allow me to get the faces of the women or the MC closer than about 70% of SG... bummer.
#2 & #3 are removed as of CH 4.5.
One or more modders are working (have succeeded??) on adding back in all the music removed for licensing purposes but the Steam rev and the Ocean official SG will not have these barring an about face from those entities who control licensing access to those songs.
There is still a lot of great music in SG, but these two songs were Perfect for their scenes.
Cheers!!
