Yeah i don't know but i don't believe that bit with MC's uncle, i think he was straight up lying about that.
It just came out of nowhere and it was never mentioned before, either that or maybe Ocean plans something, maybe more will be revealed in the future, he keeps everything in mystery and reveals things bit by bit as story goes on.
I just had the weird thought, does Willi play basketball? What if Nika is the NTR child of Leia or Katie?
For anything popular like Summer's Gone that in reality means only fan criticism is fair though. It's writing off anything that doesn't fit a fan's idea of what's flawed as not legit so every other criticism is unfair, flawed, meritless or bad faith.
That attitude is why F95 threads are often a repetitious echo chamber cycle of memes and theories that are either giant circle jerks or mass hate. What everyone agrees on is not a good metric for fairness or legitimacy because that quickly becomes what fans or haters whichever is more prevalent agree on and every other criticism or praise gets pushed away. People that like a game pretty much by default are willing to overlook it's flaws or they literally don't bother them or even see them as flaws. I know for a fact I'm guilty of that.
We see that on F95 all the time. I look at the SG and BAD threads because I like the games, every popular game has people that have been posting in them week after week for years because they like the game no? Contrary opinions get dog-piled, mocked, shut down and butthurt facepalmed by thread regulars every time. Let's be honest it's very predictable. Because they're not seen as contrary opinions, they're seen as something wrong to be attacked and discredited because fans don't want to hear it or are tired of it but aren't tired of the same positivity brought up and repeated endlessly. It's plain fanboying.
No sex content is a perfect example. It's a literal plot point in the VN through Nika's PTSD and impotence but people decide it can't be criticized because there is a disclaimer. When no it's literally part of the plot the decision for it to be there is absolutely open to been criticized or disliked as much as any part of a plot or theme is. Negative opinions don't need consensus they just need to be made in good faith for the criticism to be "fair". I don't think we're all so sensitive something is only fair if we all agree with it.
It's that good faith approach that is most moft lacking - the different opinion isn't the problem, it's that some opinions are now memes in their own right:
- "I'm going to be 84 before this is finished/my kids will play this wah wah wah" This isn't a discussion point, it's a now a trope. People saying this aren't being honest, they can't have this complaint without wanting to see the game finished. Things take as long as they take. This is disingenous at best.
- "where's the compressed/android/mac" Learn to pirate better. I can't think of a single thread where people haven't explained what to do. Every time someone asks for a compressed, they push the actual post deeper into the search (like I've now done, I'm an asshole).
- "You like the game, you're a white knight riding Ocean's cock." Imaginative, witty and a great comeback for every time someone disagrees with trollish behaviour, sprinkle through comments to show how salty they are. 100% guaranteed to win the internet with this meme. Wait, why do the trolls fantasize about people riding Ocean's cock so much? Are they truly into NTR?
- "You don't agree with me, you're a child. I have seen everything in the world and am the repository AND font of all knowledge. Nothing deviates from my world view, YOU SHALL NOT PASS." Pretty hard to have a meaningful interaction with all the good faith shown by those peeps.
- The sex thing "There was no sex, this game sux" is not a discussion in good faith, because it is stated there is no sex. Discussing that Nika could have fingered or muff dived, or heck stayed still and let Bella grind him like sandpaper is a discussion, and most people have debated that in good faith. If people can't read the first screenshot, before they can even set the skipping of pages and transitions, how do they even AVN?
Most theories are debated when in good faith, heck, a troll who will debate a point without salivating over cock riding is almost a breath of fresh air. I like your direction, but maybe you're giving too much credit to the trolls, lumping them in with people who think differently. Trolls will simply oppose because they like grinding on other people's opinions. The minute there is sex in the game they'll say "huh, a full blown threesome with the twins and Kate only? Why can't I bang Josy yet? What do you mean wrong game? You're just cock riding." It takes dedication to not act in good faith - ie not be human and be a troll.
