Sasha is already Ocean's top 3 favorite girls, besides Nadia and Sonya. The problem is, will Ocean write the script based on his feelings (likes for certain characters) or based on professionalism ? :unsure:
If he writes based on his feelings, be prepared to receive a lot of content from the three of them in the future . :sneaky:

I'd say Ocean can clearly write without favouritism. Sasha and Sonya have been his favourites since they appeared in CH2 and he hasn't let them dominate the plot.

For those arguing about the lack of a plot, there are many different things that make up a plot. and many different styles of writing one. If you want an action game plot that drives you to fuck like a bunny to save the world from the virus that will cause all men to disappear, there are xyz AVN's to play.

SG's plot won't represent a plot to you because you don't have the self critical skills to doubt yourself and your opinions. If you think the plot has to revolve around sex, that is an assumption you've made. Where does Ocean say the plot will be around sex? If you assume the plot is action and it's about ththe heist, where does Ocean say that? You've assumed again. If you want the basketball or the street racing elements to move forward, where is is stated that the underlying plot? If we want to see a continuation of WiaB, even that is not the plot.

All the plot is is how Nika learns to deal with the loss and trauma in his life, be re-engaging with the world around him. All the character development mirrors this. If you can't value this, its because the story doesn't mean much to you. Fine. But it will never be the other plots. It will always be about how these other things combine and affect Nika as he comes to terms with himself.

Self discovery is a valuable story. Overcoming trauma is a valuable story. If they are irrelevant to you that doesn't mean there is no story, it just means you should find another one.

And maybe stop flinching when looking in the mirror. You'll find life a whole lot more interesting if you stop projecting your own desires on everything around you. That's actual strength of character.

no i found the plot, but i just it sucks
Genuine question: considering how long it will take to develop the next season, do you think you'll wait for it to develop in a way you like in that time frame? If it sucks for you now, what do you think will give it a 180 degree turn for you to not suck?

If you don't see how the story can develop in a direction that appeals to you, are the renders really worth your time?

initially i was interested on the mystery of summer and how the story would developed around the MC, her and the other characters, but after years of reworking and the introduction other characters with their sappy background stories i find myself feeling completely at odds with this game.

ima still play it because i usually finish narratives that i start. will it get better for me idk.

I respect that that, not that you need rendom internet approval from me.

In my opinion, the most poorly implemented part of the story is the mystery around Summer. Other parts of Nika's life have effectively distracted him to the point that he goes from dreaming about her every night and being a recluse to her just being his weird ex. It undermines the trauma aspect, and makes the trauma side feel like a random lightning strike, rather than a ball and chain he drags around.

Having said that, I expect there will be more therapy sessons soon, and I'm sure we'll get more of a sense of how some of the characters interact via Ayua's fight training. Ocean won't give us a clear explanation for Summer so early in the story, part of the process for NIka will be learning not to hide from it. But yeah, I think the spectre of Summer needed to be more prevalent to give greater weight. Things like, when with Bella, if he kisses her, he has a couple of frames flash back to Summer and he pulls away upset or something. Or when she tries to get something going he freaks out has a panic attack. Nika's basically gone from being conpletely non functional, to balanced and calm, with erratic moments like seizures instead of overwhelming trauma.

This is not a problem, you can check it yourself, and I am sure that you will confirm my words. To do this, you need to take any ready-made scene and render it in full HD resolution and record its time. Then render the same scene only in 4k resolution and record the render time. Then you need to compare the time and you should get that full HD renders 3 times faster than 4k.
Read the message again. He already renders everything in 4k before downscaling, so it won't add anything to the existing time. If anything it'll save time because he won't have to downscale the renders to 1080p.

I feel this so much. I think this is the root as to why im able to find enjoyment and entertainment from things that are probably not really that good for alot of people. Like enjoying the character building in this game for instance. As i've had this mind set my entire life when it comes to video games , tv , movies etc etc. It really takes alot for me to say this is bad or drop something i'm getting close to 100 AVN's played since starting to play them last summer and only dropped 1 or 2 and most I enjoyed or liked to some degree.

I understood that Ocean was doing the entire 2nd season in 4k, but the conversation was about something else. If you didn’t know, downscale takes no more than 5 seconds, this is all the time that Ocean will save from 1 render.
