Wish there was a dl link for the pre rework like there is for WIAB.
This can't happen, the rework started from CH3 and was part of each release. So which is pre rework? It doesn't exist after th Ch2 release. You can use the amazing search function to find compressed versions of every single released chapter, but you know that'll just mean you can see Mario's dick, 1 render of VIc's pussy, the 1 short assjob that even before censoring didn't get a happy ending, Jeff's dick, Nika's dick, oh and that one screen grab of actual porn that's too tiny to really care.

If you're going to play a game before it's finished, things WILL change. It's a work in progress, and I've promised myself not to get too attached to anything I play on this whole site for that reason.

I know, most of the stuff mentioned is in the mod for the game(i have the game with and without the mod). I meant i want to play it before all the asset updates, I want to see the original direction of the game before the credit card company's castrated patreon and before Ocean made it less edgy. I lurk a bit and see mentions of this used to be like that or that used to be like this and would like to experience it myself.I played blind then did a run using the guide and there's mention of firing a gun. What gun? I want to shoot the gun!

All I'm saying is I'd like to experience the old version of the first few chapters and it would be convenient and appreciated if a link was on the first page like how WIAB has a link to its old version.

Found it. I originally used chapter 3 in search earlier but they were the wrong keywords. Compressed did the trick.

Finally finished completing the SG collection for each chapter (Final/Full). :geek:
For those who are interested in collecting (as a memory of SG's journey), this is the location where you can download it (compressed version):

I understand the reasoning. I've kept a version of 2 and 4.5 for this reason. Fell of the other stages had anything dramatic changed. Ch2 givs you all the old school vibe, with all the cringe. Interestingly, it had a flow despite the lack of subtlety - when Nika and Nami swear or get angry, it actually feels volatile. Same with Bella's breakdown. Some of those things were released in Ch4 or 4.5, can't remember, but I think it was 4. Basically when Mila in Ch 1 became massive was when the early chapters became 'smoothed'. I can see some value in the way it was before, but it came with liberal dosing of cringe sauce.

That early rework made sure the start didn't look embarrassing compared to the later parts, but it did lose a sense of immediacy? Volatility? Something like that. Someone who hasn't played wouldn't notice it missing.

Ch5 Beta was where most of the 'lewd' moments were cut - which basically censoring the jacuzzi scene, removing flaccid cocks, and clothed facesitting. Season 1 had more cuts for things that didn't make sense, until you consider Ocean was trying to get the percentage of 'adult' material down enough not to screw him with the music. As it was, a significant number of cinematics are gone, purely because of the music issue. So I'm personally glad Ocean just decided to cut what he did rather than embark on another rework to find new mix that fitted etc.

The only reason I mentioned it's impossible, is because it was a progressive rework. Stuff in the chapter 3 release is changed in Ch 4.5, then in 5 beta changed again, then in 5 full we have a committed version. Trying to decide what is the original pre rework version requires playing three different versions at least. It's not just renders swapped out, whole scenes are different in some cases. My personal favourite addition to the rework was the chat you have with Nami if you don't go on the heist. Anyway, I'm more warning you that you have to find multiple early versions because there are changes everywhere in each release since 2 that someone somewhere is sad to have lost. The mod might restore some content, but it can't easily make it fit the new script - the uncut mod is selective by nature, as there have been too many significant changes. WiaB is a different story. You can clearly see where OCean finally understood his rendering aesthetic in Ch6, but then we have three different hairstyles for William. It got messy, and then after starting that process of SG of fixing it while devloping further, he did use some wisdom in starting over and scrapping his early work. The releases of WiaB are far more consistent development wise that SG, because Ocean didn't have to stitch renders into the middle of the story and hope it wouldn't be noticeable.

While I do agree about the plot moving at a snail pace, and kinda expected in a 32 chapters games. I don't think the relationships are moving to fast, Bella has the first season almost entirely dedicated to her and the maximum you get out of her is a no strings attached relationship, it hardly is moving too faster. The nudity I partly agree, the only time it bothered me a little was Bella at the beginning of chapter 5 and even so I can think of a half hearted excuse, others instances it makes sense and not every culture finds boobs so offensive that they had a visceral responde to see it so MC behavior is not strange to me.
they're moving at a pretty okay pace. if anything, college kids dont really need much to fuck around tbh. on the other hand, alot can happen in a couple of days if the vibe is alright. idk, seems pretty good to me and most other people it seems.. its not all over the place, nor at a "blink and you'll miss it" pace.

lol, its just tits. also, the whole point is that Nika is scarred and has ptsd and whatever else.. it simply doesn't affect him as much as it would a normal teenage boy. its talked about all the time by many characters, the fact that shit doesn't really phase him at all.
not everyone is grossed out by nudity haha. also, Ocean is german, i think? here in europe, most people are pretty open, i think. xD
Sorry for the late response. I'm form Spain so yeah I agree we eastern-Europeans are more progressive but still. The scene with Victoria going to the bathroom threw me off lol. I don't know, asking someone I've known less than a week to pull my pants down so I can pee, seemed weird to me. I'm just being extra harsh on this game since it's supposedly focusing on story and characters first so yeah, of course I'm gonna focus on that.

I don't know, the Vic scene is supposed to be strange and uncomfortable, herself draws attention to it saying that how confortable she is, is a sign on how the accident affected her. SG does has a tendency of sexualize some scenes when there is none reason for it, the Nojiko talk at the balcony comes to mind, but I don't think that this Vic scene was gratuitus or cheap eroticism.

I'll just reply to this part because I haven't had enough coffee for much thinking. No harem is planned. Ocean's stated in the past that he hates harem logic in games. I think he wishes to focus on developing trust as part of healing, which means that rejecting other LI's is important to building relationships. In a similar way the polyamories that ARE plannned are meant to he hard to achieve and easy to fail, because people do get jealous if there is any sense of unequal affection in a triangle. By going this way, Ocean avoids harem logic by pointing out how hard it truly is to keep a harem.

This is mostly my conjecture from things Ocean has said over the last two years, so he could have a different mindset now, who knows? BUt there is a link on the first page of the thread that details who the LI's were that Ocean revealed, again with the caveat that Ocean might just mess with us. In some ways it's best not to know, because we'll treat characters like game to hunt rather than acknowledge their stroy in detail, simply because we know they're a LI and we know there's a payoff if we follow the porn logic. My guess is that Ocean partially regrets giving out some of that information, as people don't play the game with surprise. At least the planned complexity of the throuples will mean people will find it challenging, walkthrough or not - just look at how hard it was to get WiaB's first NTR styl scene. Even with a community of people telling others, people still find is hidden. So throuples will only be the case for people who made the right choices early on without really knowing.
If it's true, like that. Harem isn't something i like in game, but i deal with that because it's so common. None of my favourite game are Harem, but some good trouple exist nonetheless (for exemple i like the one in being a DIK with maya and josie; i know it's an unpopular opinion : ). Harem is generaly too sureal for me, it's like the woman are just some meat that the mc are gonna consume, and it's fine when you just wanna fap or have this fantasy but if you wanna read something with a more depth and feeling, it will not do the job for me. Like when you see the MC telling how much he love X, that he can't live without her and 15 minutes after he is banging another chick like the previous one was nothing. It's sometime even disgusting a bit to be honest but this is what it is.

I say that i'm curious to know but that doesn't mean i wanna use the link you are talking about. Going into the game and trying different setting, redoing it with something else in mind is part of the fun imo. It's like your commitment to details are rewarded, i like it. Also i'm not sure it's a bad thing that Ocean give that information. Most people would probably don't read it and only the one who are curious enough or needed it would read it. Yeah sure, some of these wouldn't care enough to fully commit to the game with the surprise probably intended by Ocean, but it's the same with people who use walkthrough.

They will always be people who aren't that much interested to a game to give it much time, and that's alright, especialy if they have fun that way. We aren't immortal after all.

Yeah, I'm the same regarding harems. I think some players prefer to play the game once, and get all the content, but here that's just not possible. The infidelity of an MC in a harem game where they swear undying love to all the girls is just lazy writing. Any of the harems in real life would end up with th MC being a missing person, dumped in the river with his face disfigured by 5 or more sets of nails.

Something i find valuable about SG is that the relationships aren't the reason for the events, even if they might in some ways be triggers - there is a story of what Nika is going through independent of whose path you chose. This also means that Nika has other things on his mind than simply getting his erections back. He doesn't actually miss them like (what seems to be) 90% of people in this thread. He'd rather have a sense of looking forward to waking up the next day rather than be relieved he survived through a day.

About the list - my sense is that OCean's probably changed his mind about some of it since it was posted. But your take is a great one - not knowing who has extra content means you've got to be careful with every interaction in case they are a LI later. Chosing how Nika reacts to people is our only task in the game really, so not knowing who is really important will give us a more interesting playthrough in my opinion. Like the redhead that isn't named or the goth bus/pizzaria girl. I don't want to know if they are or aren't chances are we'll find out.

I also like the idea of a hidden LI, someone who requires a who bunch of choices to unlock. I've been playing some RPG's lately and some characters require an epic amount of perception to simply notice, which makes them more rewarding to play.

I agree 100%. (it's my biggest complain about game like Eternum, the mc is going here and that make no sense )

Yeah they are a story despite what girl(s) you choose. He will probably get into this wood cabin to tell his therapist what was happening no matter what, or at least a bit of it. I really wanna see that now; damn, i'm gonna take a seat into the hype train for the S2 like everyone : )
This also means that Nika has other things on his mind than simply getting his erections back.
As it's stated in Bella's route, i think that Nika want these back to please to woman and not only for the other way around.(i think he say that when they are on the top of Bella's car) And it's something natural imo. I mean if you love (not sure we are here yet in the story) someone and aren't narcissist, you will do what you can to please them, not only seek for what please you. And in a way pleasing the person you love please you too, so it's win-win.
I also like the idea of a hidden LI, someone who requires a who bunch of choices to unlock.
I wish we will see more of that in Adult game. Or some secret ending. They are a few games who have whose for sure, but it's really rare. I bet we will see stuff like that in Being a DIK but who know for now : )

Yes I have two save files one on Bella's path and the other when I reject every possible available girl. I'm just really curious how the story will develop in a situation where Nika is constantly waiting for someone to show up who will catch his attention. The game already seems to pay attention to this Sasha seems more positive towards Nika when he's not dating any girl I wonder if Ocean is going to do something interesting with this as I said earlier ''hidden romance options'' when you spend let's say 16 out of 32 announced chapters alone and hidden events which trigger only in such a situation would be amazing and would go hand in hand with how he advertises his game as a mature story with adult elements

I think you're right. Although if you look at SG impartially, you'll see a lot of meaningless dialogue. That's why the game isn't developing and players have been discussing the same thing for years. This can also be called lazy writing.
