I would kinda argue, why not "dead people" or "dead chicks," instead of "dead children?" Is Nika implying he's a necrophiliac and a pedo? I'm sure that's gonna shock Nami (who's OK with incest by the way, but the other two are rightfully a bridge too far!) /s
Nika can't type /s, only Ocean can. My guess is he's trying to shut the convo down by out-awkwarding Nami; we know later on she wishes he'd be more open about the subject rather than deflect.
Sometimes I wonder if someone posting about Summers Gone has actually played the same AVN as I have.
It reminds me when I was a kid. Adults had all these interesting Second World War books. I wasn't interested in reading them (I was kinda too young to appreciate or understand them anyway), but I LOVED looking at the two or three pages of photo plates every several chapters. I was kinda like that when I first found the world of AVNs on F95.Sometimes I wonder if someone posting about Summers Gone has actually played the same AVN as I have.
I have to be honest and say my CH 5 SG experience was Vastly different and- seemingly better - than yours.
I do enjoy Ocean's storytelling and I spent more than 20 minutes on the book club scene alone.
That scene was an onion in terms of complexity/reveals:
* Noji secrets (she's known Amber far longer than she admitted, after pretending to meet Amber for the first-time outside Amber's office prior to the MC's therapy)
* Amber pretending that she had not met the MC before
* Sasha and her apparent siren's lure effect on multiple married men
* Charlie's Rule of the book club (and her lack of appreciation for the MC when he challenged that rule And when she found out that he was the male involved in Robin's 'scandal' at school - the sex in the bathroom which did not actually happen)
* the appearance of Katie Zane and her interest in both Nami and the MC
* the sudden appearance of Sasha when the MC has his panic attack (and Sasha just happened to have a medication to help with panic attacks and she shared it with him)
That scene also had great humor with Nami commenting on all the cougars and her quip about it looking like a scene from a porno.
I personally soaked up the Bella time at the beginning of CH 5 and enjoyed her first breakfast with Noji, the MC and eventually Nami + sleeping with her and getting the Zara reveals.
I won't regurgitate more of what I have already commented on in other posts.
I'll just say that the above is why I feel like we played different AVNs with the same name - our experiences seem to be so different.
I'm still a supporter and I thought CH 5 was a great close to Season 1, including the final scene with Bella and her sister.
This is certainly the most ambitious AVN I have ever supported and at current development speeds, it will take decades to get through the 30+ chapters that Ocean has talked about for SG.
(I think that development speed will increase once the Steam SG season 1 release is complete - plus hardware and software improvements will help here as well - his latest dev log about a Daz update and improved loading times was a major eye opener for me).
I hope that your CH 5 Full SG experience will be much better than your CH 5 Beta experience was.
I absolutely believe that mine will be, and I loved the CH 5 Beta.
Cheers!!
I'll reply in reverse - have you played WiaB's recent update? These games are playing in sync almost like two halves and they'll both converge. Ocean's drawing out revelations to prevent spoiling the develoment of each. If he does it well, there won't be anything comparable. For example, the original Star Wars trilogy had massive revelations that destroyed the prequel triolgy, because we already knew who the emporor was, and we already knew who Darth Vader would bang. The prequels suffered from being a pantomime because we already knew what would happen, all we got to see was the details of how. It was telegraphed. If Ocean does this right, he can keep the surprise in each. If does it poorly, it'll just be obscure with too many secrets for too long, or nonsensical plot points. Currently I'm feeling he's doing it well.
The thing more disappointing than those "Haters" is your response its one thing to respond to them at all but to completely disregard their whole point and thinking you solved something is outrageous some of them raise valid points about the game's development and some people including myself just cut support after 6 months because there was so little content to put my arm around now i did make a post here about the development issue does that make me a bad person? no its the opposite being concerned about this series and how its being handled is important to me and i come here to express it in the most respectful way possible some people might degrade the series in question those are the "Haters" you probably are talking about and guess what you can find them in pretty much every big title this industry has published but the problem here is those haters are most of the time completely random people that played the game for 30 mins hated something in it and then come to diss on the creators but here its a specific problem many people talk about it that being patrons or non patrons some out of concern for the series and some with ill intentions you cant escape the latter no matter what and if alot of people have the same problem and are expressing it here then you should know the problem is real and can lead to lasting problems in the future if not fixed.Yeah... the constant complaining is getting rather annoying. If the update cycle's not something you can cope with, or the rework & changes to the story aren't things you can live with... then why not leave? These grand announcements of how this user won't play the game because of X, and that user hates it because of Y... they're getting quite old. If these things bother you so much, why not leave and scratch Summer's Gone off of your list? Why stay to announce to the world that you decided not to pirate this game? Like omg! Whatever will Oceans do about a random F95 user who decided that they're no longer going to pirate his game??
I honestly get the frustration; some of it is definitely warranted... but some of you need to relax. Find another game to play... or better yet, do something rather than stalking these pages waiting for the right moment to meme about how your grandkids may finally experience the end of this game. Since I'm probably the only girl here right now, I'll say it. It's kind of sad that for some of you, your only comments are about how Oceans is a bad developer, how the development cycle upsets you, or some other flaw of this game. My goodness, find something else to do because seeing so many users add nothing more to the conversation than ripping on the game... gets proper annoying. Often enough, I saw people voicing their praise for the game, saying how much they love this and can't wait for that, and some of you guys will show up(out of nowhere) and go out of your way to kill their joy for the game. It's literally crazy how some of you will go out of your way to do this kind of stuff. Hundreds of games on this site, and you choose to spend your time annoying people in SG's thread. That's... kind of sad
Some of you will hate me for this(if you don't already), but I'll say it anyway. Some of these critique/review posts seem disingenuous... almost as if some people came here just to complain. The last few pages have been 70% made up of people complaining that they'll never see the end of this game and the fact that Oceans will rework this game to death. If you truly believe that, truly believe that Oceans will never improve and genuinely believe that Ocean's pace will stay the same forever... leave. If you think honestly that Oceans is out to rework this game every single season... leave. Save yourselves the heartache. This thread can do without all of the extra negativityღ
Like I can't stress enough how dumb this all isღ
I haven´t played the new chapter, i prefer to wait for the full season 1 and them jugde it, but i have this fear, i see comments about the chapter and there aren´t so good like with other chapters, It is obvious all the chapters can´t be equal good, is the same for the series or games, sometimes they are very good and sometimes less...
Don´t forget CH5 is still Beta - so let´s wait what to come in CH5 Final
You've been around enough to know what's going on. Everyone gets upset when their fetishised subjects don't get the attention they believe is necessary. If you are able to wait until the full season then you can do a whole intergrated play through without wondering which renders will be replaced and which things are continuity errors vs not finished. To be honest 5 was far more emotive than the tabletop game. There's also a couple of moments I would say are high points of the the first season for me. I think also, the last part of the rework will finally lay to rest the old render mismatches (we'll just have Ocean's fluctuating cupsizes from here, no more ghoul grins).
Yes, i don´t doubt about Ocean´s talent , i know the story is excellent and the renders are uniques, but the news about the songs licenses problems and all the changes in the jacuzzi scene and all of that make me to be a little worried. Of course this is only a feeling becouse i haven´t played the new chapter soYou've been around enough to know what's going on.

Best thing is that you'll have it as a seamless whole, so you can judge it on it's own merits. At least 57.3% of the negativity (not an accurately rounded number*) is people complaining about what's missing. I'm going to do a full play through just to remind myself of all the details. Even if there's not a huge lot left for me to find out for season 1, I'm still excited for the full version. Playing the full thing, I probably won't notice or care what's missing. The dangers of getting things before they're complete, ...is you get them incomplete.
*The other xy.z% of complaints are due to the lack of dick pics. Facts
Don...really? I iz dissapoint son...Of course this is only a feeling becouse i haven´t played the game so
I can certainly understand newbies trying the game for the first time, not liking it, and leaving a comment (providing it's not "dissing on the creators").
I´m talking about the chapter 5, i´m waiting for the full
Damn...don't do that to me, thought you meant all of it lol. Also waiting for full 5 before going through updateI´m talking about the chapter 5, i´m waiting for the full
I know, sorry!!! I didn't notice i wrote "game" , i wanted to say "the new chapter"Damn...don't do that to me, thought you meant all of it lol. Also waiting for full 5 before going through update
Well, WiaB basically starts with lewds, so I think Ocean will let Nika grow up at a belieavble pace. Let's face it, no one buying it on steam will believe for a second that SG will remain SFW, and will be clamouring for faster development.Yes, i don´t doubt about Ocean´s talent , i know the story is excellent and the renders are uniques, but the news about the songs licenses problems and all the changes in the jacuzzi scene and all of that make me to be a little worried.

The whole overall rationale of Ocean's games is that they all occupy the same world, so everything is really one big story. It's incredibly ambitious. The Star Wars reference I made has a parallel here as well. Not knowing what happened in the phantom menace in no way spoil empire strikes back. Mad rabid fans, like me, will enjoy the whole lot, but ultimately the plot isn't about the dynasties of Wollust - that a subtext. The plot is about Nika, and I doubt Ocean will make it impossible to play or enjoy without knowing all the trivia.
