Move your ass...I'm buttin' in...heh.
...
You ARE right, it does give that 'highshool feel'...
* then Cyrus shoots Marla in the right leg *
So you have an edgy teen who thinks shooting a person during a car accident helps. Is that supposed to give you a 'college feel'? And I actually thought this scene in the beginning of the game hinted a darker theme to the entire game. But the game didn't follow through this initial introduction. If the game went on a different path, my impression could have been different.
MC was bullied in the past, no more...what bullying are you talking about ?...If by someone being poor you mean Mila, she was not being bullied, she was being looked down. She and her mother are diminished by the society because of the orientation of their family, her mother is a whore and you can only imagine in what place that would leave her daughter in front of others. The upper class people, most of them, marginalize the likes of them and they just look down on you like...well...you can only imagine.
"She was not being bullied, she was being looked down" Mila was literally insulted by rich students for being poor. If you don't think that's bullying then you need to read its definition. Furthermore, due to the definition of bullying, a person who is bullied is also looked down upon by those who bullied that person. Those two aren't mutually exclusive. You can explain all you want the background of a character and the woes of that character, but it doesn't change the fact that this is literally a very common trope in a lot of high school drama. Hence this scenario supporting that "high school feel". Reminder that what I'm arguing is that this game is more suited in a high school setting. You can talk all you want about the socio-economic troubles that plague modern society but the fact of the matter is that this game has a more appropriate setting given its narrative.
You are obviously talking about bella...Mister Obvious.
You are so fu**ing wrong here...it actually has been explained like a few million times already.
Bella is not mean, a mean person is cruel and likely want others to fail miserably, they don't have anything that good inside...You are simply passing judgements without even considering to recognize her, understand her and know what truly motivates her, you obviously fail to empathize with other's emotions. I think you need to work on that...big time.
I'm pretty sure everyone knows who I'm referring to when I described her character. I feel like you don't understand what I am writing. It was a description of her, not a hint of being elusive that people have to guess who I'm referring to. Using a hyphen to connect two or more words is used to form an adjective before a noun. Often, it is used to have a succinct description. Sometimes, people exaggerate its use to form a sarcastic or playful tone in a sentence. For example, I could use a hyphen to have a 'man-eating dog'. On the other hand, I could also use the hyphen to form 'corporate-bought-but-pretends-to-serve-the-people kind of politician'. What do you think is the tone that I am trying to portray in the latter example? So you stating obvious and saying 'Mister Obvious' while failing to understand what I'm obviously referring is incredibly ironic.
"A mean person is cruel and likely want others to fail miserably" Again, another word that you seem to misunderstand. Your description of mean is so specific and severe when in fact 'mean' is a broad term and can be used in a lot of situations. For example when I say "Don't be mean to your sister", do you think you being 'mean' here means that you are so cruel and want your sister to fail miserably in some way? No, in that context you're probably just teasing your sister and I want you to stop. Ever heard of the phrase 'mean girls'? What do you think it means?
Bella
is one of those rich girls who is mean and rude to people but is actually vulnerable and good 'deep inside' if you get to know them well enough. This is a very common character trope in teen shows with a high school setting. Even other characters in the game commented on how mean she is to them, who then advised the MC to steer clear from her.
Also you writing about her as if she is a deep and unique character and asking me to 'empathize' with her when this type of character is incredibly common is hilarious. People here is already familiar with this. There are a lot of shows, books, games that have this. I think you're the only one who finds this deeper than it actually is. Again as a reminder, what I'm arguing is that this game is more reminiscent to a high school setting. You can talk about how deep you think a character is but it doesn't change what I'm saying this ENTIRE time. In fact, your arguments thus far have no relation to what I'm arguing about.
* Widened eyes, unsure facial expression, tongue flipped *
Nojiko...is his adoptive mother. Nami, his adoptive sister ? (I'm still not sure)...Mila and Cyrus, both poor, MC empathize with her and stands up for her. Nadia doesn't like him or not sure about him, Ayua, well, she is attracted to danger just like her ancestor..
...sorry....where was I ?....right...
Amber, his psychologist, not sure about her intentions with him...yet.(Nope...don't even try to quote the intention and troll me, you bad people) In front of Vic's eyes, he's her savior, I mean , he put her in a recovery position in the worst day of her life for fuck's sake and promised something he might regret which made Maja think hard...that you should never judge someone by just their appearance. (There are some people that take this point literally, maybe yourself, you can look at a creeper behind a child and say he is a child molester , you may well be right)
Yeah, they are pretty much flocking around him aren't they ? meaninglessly, just for sex sex and sex...what do you think this is ?...porn ?...neverrmind...got ya.
Yep you just stated the many ways hot girls flocked to him. This might come as a surprise to you but being an edgy, rude person makes a lot of people, including girls want to avoid you or have a poor opinion of you even with the circumstances you stated. And again if you actually understood what I've written, I stated that I UNDERSTAND this scenario and am fine with it because I know that this is a porn game. The point that I was trying to make is that this character, not the situation how the hot girls flocked to him, is more noticeable in high school or teen drama that is WHY I said that this game has a 'high school feel'. You just keep blabbering on things that are irrelevant to what I have written. You need to improve your reading comprehension.
Hard pass... ... ... just learn to empathize mate.
You really don't understand what I was writing. When I critiqued the character of Bella, it was in congruent of my argument that this game is better suited in a high school setting. You, on the other hand, kept on blabbering on how I should 'empathize' with her. You assumed that I don't understand her feelings, motivations, whatever when you missed my point ENTIRELY. EVERYONE HERE understands what she is. What you're not understanding is that her character is another example of my point of how this game has a more appropriate setting. But, oh, you just keep yapping on how deep and lovely this character is, and how I just don't understand this, oh so lovely, girl, and how I'm cold and uncaring I am to this, oh so wonderful, person.
Okay...Did you even read the overview before you downloaded the whole game ? 'cause if you did you wouldn't be having this crisis...sorry, WE wouldn't be having THIS...let me help you with that...
Overview:
After a traumatic experience, a young spirit tries to find its way back into life. College is about to start and mysteries are about to unfold.
So in what universe a traumatized 19 year old would go to the college and then be like LET'S PARTAY BABIEEEE !!!... PULL MY PANTS DOWN NOW !!! and at the end of the day, he'd sit around a bonfire with his classmates and sing kumbaya with wrong fucking lyrics.
You're at the wrong place and I couldn't be more right.
"After a traumatic experience, a young spirit tries to find its way back into life. College is about to start and mysteries are about to unfold." Having a trauma as one of the backgrounds of a character doesn't mean they won't experience college events like everyone else. This is just the main character's background. It doesn't mean that the setting is suddenly going to be all gloomy and sad. It only means that this would affect how that character would interact in the setting or environment. There are a lot of shows/books that have 'damaged' main characters who then face a new a chapter in their lives, and experience new things. Want an example to one of these shows/books? Perks of being a Wallflower. The MC in that book had a traumatic experience and is going through college for the first time. The setting in the show (college) shows what you would expect in such a setting, with the college parties, college classes, and all that. What changes is how the MC interacted with other characters, and how he navigated his college life WITH the trauma he experienced. The background of a character doesn't define the setting of the work.
"So in what universe a traumatized 19 year old would go to the college and then be like LET'S PARTAY BABIEEEE !!!... PULL MY PANTS DOWN NOW !!! and at the end of the day, he'd sit around a bonfire with his classmates and sing kumbaya with wrong fucking lyrics."
Just because you're showing the party culture you would expect in a college setting doesn't mean it's all going to be rock and roll and fuck all hoes. The parties could be used as a setting in a narrative, to introduce characters and conflicts or further existing ones. I feel like you haven't been in a college party before.
Oh, and we literally have a basketball arc so your argument is completely irrelevant. We do, in fact, have lively and energetic narratives. So yes, the party culture you tend to see in college should be expected in this setting. I love how you think you are so right when you missed my point entirely.
Didn't you just say that this game have more of a highschool feeling than how a college would feel ?...whatever you're trying to say is just out of joint mate. I'm not gonna say that this is not the game for you. There are different games for different people and I encourage you to find yours. It's easy.
What? Do you even understand what I wrote? How is this disjointed to what I was saying? How is this not congruent to my point of this game having more of a 'high school feel' than a 'college feel'?
Tell me this honestly. If this game omits mentioning its school setting and you show this game to someone - what is more likely going to be their guess: that this is a college drama/setting or a highschool drama/setting? I'm not totally dismissing the game but story is really more suited in a different setting.
Read what I wrote again, and again, and again, and again until you understand what I'm asking here.
Okay. Don't take this the wrong way. I assume your first language isn't English because there are a lot of sentences and contexts that you are not understanding well. So I'm not going to be very critical on you if this is the case. If it's not, then you are probably very young and haven't seen a lot of shows or read a lot of books to be familiar with tropes that are associated in different genres. You probably haven't experienced a lot of things either, given how you passionately described a common character.
