Don't think that we will gonna get much more fight, Nika seems to favor mind games. Also I kinda like Dwight, he as a vibe of charismatic douche.

 

[vampires69'in]

It's a miracle that the college hasn't been shut down, porn logic I guess. Let's see: animal experiments, several cases of male and female professors having sex with students, the first women's basketball team bribing the principal with naughty pictures and probably sexual favors. Yeah, it looks like it's all good.

who knows, maybe if Nika makes the first team, he'll get his own "place of business" office on campus all without ever showing his face even once...oh wait..different basketball AVN

 

[BobTheDuck]

Drugs are there, Sasha gives Nika a pill in chapter 5 .

Violence is there too, Bella attacks Nika when he asks her about her sister and there's the fight with Zac?, I can't remember his name, the guy who likes Nami, when Nika ends up with a black eye.

That's Sai.

To add to your list:
- Vic being hit in the first place
- fucking Seigbert, the avatar of ultraviolence, spontaneously manifested after Mario watched True Romance for the 12th time in a row.
- when Bella rams the dude with her car.

Curious is Katie a MILF who is her kid?

We don't know, the suspicion is there might be, but all we know in WiaB was she had a girlfriend, and a massive sideserving of unfulfilled lust for William.

I get what you're saying but I think he's doing fine and will keep doing fine. There are plenty of creators focused on fully vanilla content that do very well. MrDots for example.

All I'm saying is Ocean clearly picked a lane and will most likely stick to it. So we should manage our expectations accordingly


Technically right but...I mean...THC gummy bears? Really? No "hardcore drugs" then.


Also technically correct but...c'mon guys. That's hardly "violence". That type of content could feature in a kids schoolbook. Or am I just super desensitized? A scuffle with a couple of thrown punches and a hugging session with Bella is hardly what I'd classify as "violent" but ok. I'm not dying on this hill

You're right, there's nothing shocking. Having said that, there's nothing shocking in WiaB either. The jam on the arm for Nika's wound in the violent incident, Vic's blood that looks just like, I don't know? Dirt? The Seigbert bloodless scratches.

But yeah, no sudden eviscerations, no gang shootups. I don't think it fits, but to some extent, NIka could be living in a troubled neighbourhood rather than by a nice lake, make it look grim. OH well. I mainly miss the idea that Nika crawls out of where he was, currently it feels like we simply accept his trajectory out of the hole, and Nami, Sasha, Vic whoever will carry him to the finish line almost regardless of what he does. I'd like to think that Ocean writes choices that turn LI against you, not just turn off LI status, but actually cause them to dislike you and only tolerate your presence - ie Zara going back to being bitchy like Nika's ripped her top.

Language wise I don't know how you can have anything much more hardcore than fuck or cunt. The only thing more intense is string them together to make longer, more articulate sentences, like "Fuck those fucking fuckers now cunt." Other than swearing, the only thing is using politically incorrect language, like Stahl's racism. USe it and have him called out for it, makes it non offensive but still keeps the violence of language.

So many different levls of potential, and I'll still play whatever we get and I'm sure I'll enjoy most of it, regardless of what could have been.

Also, it's funny reading this crap, since neither takes any real effort nor artistry, lol.

A man can only dream, well at least the lessons of fighting with ayua remain. As for Dwight, the guy plays his asshole role perfectly, the only problem I have with him are those weird tendencies he has and the groping.

Charismatic douche ??? Sorry, what

 

[dameromexxx]

Dwight acts like Sasha's bitch in front of her which gives him a minus 10 on the Tyler Durden charismatic douche scale, giving him a rank close to Johnny Bravo. The rich kids from Vanessa and Cerill school make an even worse impression. I hope the real douchbags are still waiting for the reveal

[Ahx]

It turns out that normal-sized chapters should take him about half a year, so the full completion of the second season is mid-2027. At this rate, it will take 14-16 years to release all the planned chapters, requiring three years to produce the season

That is if this guy is still talking about taxes in 2027.

But it would still be better if he divided this chapter into two parts.

Wanna pull off an inception and tell him? Nah, it still wouldn't change his mind, would it?

animation, cinematics' are both a waste of render time in my opinion. Not like you really get any sense of reality from them. A rich story and some awesome still's are all that is needed.

I disagree I really like those cinematics. Especially when there's Bella in it. Hehehe
But having these animations make this VN even more immersive you know. I mean, unless you are very much invested in the story and appreciate Ocean's vision, you will never experience that sensation.

it seems like a cult. Many there love Ocean. He can do whatever he wants about the game, delay updates or increase the value of the Patreon at the game's launch and they will accept it like little bitches.

doesn't mean I can't share my opinion!

This is illegal. Shut up!

Why is it soo hard for him to give some sasha renders?

Because a certain iDIOT! thought doing this would make him give us more Sasha!

Inception-schmenception, people are telling him this on Discord. I guess he thinks this is the best way to break in the new season and make SG adult again.

And if he also rolls out WiAB before SG, then no one will care about the several extra months of waiting. And if it happens before the end of the year... Sweet dreams...

And besides, aren't we submissive bitches, as one rebel boi with opinion wrote here yesterday? Throw us a few previews with Bella and we're happy until the next other week, right?

I think that´s true and it´s been discussed here sometimes, Ocean doesn´t listen to anyone, if you go and tell him as a Patreon that you don´t like how he changes the body shapes of characters he just say that this is his game and if you don´t like you can go, and he is right too.

I don´t know, i think Ocean sometimes should listen to his Patreons, maybe not in essential things like the plot or things that pretend to change his vision of the game but there are some things that need to be resolved, and listen the people who pay him would be good.

I´m okay with his work to be honest, that´s why i support him nowadays but i have my red lines, if he does again a rework or change things suddenly like in the first season (which i end up liking by the way) i´m out.

Anyway i think is difficult to find the perfect behavious here, this is his game and he has the right to do whatehever he wants, but on the other side... Yeah, Patreons can stop paying him if they don´t like his work but a little attention by his part could be good too, at least to his older Patreons, because if he starts listening all his Patreon the game would be a mess, there is a mayority who wants sex right now and woul let Nika fuck all the girls in the first chapter so it culd be dangerous too and harm the game, but the ones who support Ocean since the beginning... I think they deserve a word, if they don´t try to change essential things, of course, like the plot, characters behaviour and that stuff. Just things like the bodies shapes, i swear i hate when he change suddenly the boobs sizes of characters or things like that And he doesn´t listen to the majority who thinks that´s not good!!!

there is a reason that Christopher Doyle is perhaps the most sought after cinematographer in the film industry (to give a clue, it's not because it brings nothing to a film).

What about Greig Fraser? I think he is fucking good too. And is Australian too, how curious.

It's a miracle that the college hasn't been shut down, porn logic I guess. Let's see: animal experiments, several cases of male and female professors having sex with students, the first women's basketball team bribing the principal with naughty pictures and probably sexual favors. Yeah, it looks like it's all good.

The college of my dreams

I think Sasha would spank both their asses if they would fight

 

[dameromexxx]

But what kind of fight are we really talking about.

After all, Dwight likes Nika, he's more of a material for another homie for life next to Jeffrey, I really doubt that Nika will have any enemies in the first team, most of these guys are pretty cool, especially Aziz and Jazz, and Dex is Jeff's buddy, if we're going to look for enemies, we'll probably find them in rival colleges. Nika can only get a slap in the face from them if he starts acting like a total Man-Whore and becomes a professional heartbreaker and anyway, this protection probably only applies to Sasha.

...because Ayua only needs Dwight's help when smashed

Most likely any fights will be with Sai, but early on, because they'll both be told to pull their heads in or they're off the team. The other place for fights is the racing community. It wouldn't make sense for Ayua to train him for nothing, surely there will be at least one scene with Nika displaying his Ayua sponsored moves.

I don't remember exactly who, I think Mila warned Nika that people from other colleges might try to seduce Nami to damage Nika reputation as a star basketball player. So those are also potential candidates. There are also Sonya's brothers and we don't know exactly what kind of threat Melanie Cerill is at this point if the prank Zara ordered went wrong. and of course the enemies that have not been discovered yet, which I am counting on being here, just as we know that we have them in WIAB, of course not the same ones

honestly, now that i think about it... this game does have some massive gossip girl (or insert random teenage drama show/shite) vibes.

and as RNasc4444 said before, switching the debate here from the WiaB thread, ty, btw...... this is pretty vanilla shit. but, you know, everyone came here to fap before we all realized there's no dicky no matter how much clicky.
and now that we're here for the story, and after replaying it a few times.. it's just bland af at times.
i still think it's a slow burn thing. ocean gonna surprise us by un-fucking-believably slowly making it more gritty and/or darker.
I HOPE. -.-

and yeah, the whole summer thing... SO traumatic.
boy needs to fuck some of the supermodels around him and stop being 15 and angsty. the grunge era is over, mofo! xD

Nasty Frat Boy late 90s early 00s era let's begin still angsty but different kind in more William Zane way

THe grunge era will never be over for me. It's a nice touch that Ocean mentioned AIC would be NIka's favourite band (at some point, can't remember where). I grew up on that, so seeing the dark moody renders, and thinking which song Nika's got for a sound track kinda give me my own internal existentialist playthrough

The only reason replaying it is boring is because you know what's coming up. No game's immune from that. If updates were faster, we'd be rushing to replay to remind ourselfs, but with the excitement of knowing there's stuff we don't know. I honestly don't care how long it takes for Ocean to get to fully lwd, but what I do care about is how long I hav to hold my breath for anything. Tomorrow would be a great day for a surprise, or the day after that

The trauma hasn't been shown yet. We don't know what Nika was charged for, and whether that was related to Summer or to just violence. Elsa's way of avoiding talking about details suggests that everyone who knew about SUmmer knew how traumatic it was for Nika, but don't forget their own trauma. Does Elsa know what happened to her cousin? NIa doesn't know. We don't even know what the news was like, or if it was just the family relocates abroad. We've grown used to the atmosphere and forgetten how much of the game is unexplained.
