It was. Felt randomly placed in the middle of story too. Don't know if it was a cheap way to extend content even more by stalling progression, or just a dev wanting to play with new toys (daz assets). Probably both.

Another popular game did something similar once but at the time it already had 4x the content this has. Certainly not something fitting for a game having 3 updates in 3-4 years....
Doubt it was cheap a way to extend content. And I think Ocean really enjoyed this considering the work he put into it.

However for regular people like myself it is simply too long. It could have been shorter or not in the game and the update would have been better in my opinion.

In the other popular game you are referring to, it works because it's silly and most of the content in that game is silly and fun. And was much more complex than here.

For me personally, it feels like it's not in line with the tone of Ocean's game, at least not yet.

So. now I played this update and I can talk about it.

it was most about the dinner and the rpg. I didnt feel like the story progressed. We got to know zara and her sister a lot better. But we didn't get to know anyone else better. There were so many characters added at the start and we didnt even seen or interacted with them in this update. So it makes me feel like, most of the storyline before was about Bella, in this update was about Zara and Vanessa. The next will be about someone else?
If we go in this pace, where every 8 months update MC will only interact with one or 2 characters it will take long to progress with the story of the game.
I didnt even see my lady in this whole update. Ayua had no line, other than ask if Bella has MC's nudes. I didnt like her design changes as well.

It was still good because these animations are amazing. But story wise it lacked a bit.

Sonya, that has been the face of this game since the beginning, we know nothing about her.

What are your opinions?

Again I have to praise the devs for a job well done. This chapter is truly well done too, the characters are getting more and more interesting as their stories unfold; especially loved the subtle introduction of the earrings mystery, seamless and smooth, very clear and memorable and yet not overdone in a way that would disrupt the plot or feel gratuitous and out of place (it's so easy to slip when introducing a totally new element so suddenly, without laying the ground first).
I was slightly surprised by Zara, I wasn't expecting the knockout blow to come so suddenly for her, I thought she would play bitchy and resentful for a bit longer; then again it works very well and doesn't feel rushed, because the reason behind her competitiveness is so absolutely crystal clear: huge inferiority complex. With a sister like Vanessa who can really blame her... holy cow! That woman is the devil isn't she? Forget about Bella playing the part of the bad girl, she looks like an amateur in comparison. I especially like the comparison between her kind of "bad", driven by anger and trauma, and Vanessa's which is entirely due to a manipulative and narcissistic nature (and therefore 10 times more dangerous).
Also Nami just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter; come on how is a man supposed to resist such genuine, sincere and warm passion? It becomes hard to get myself to pick any other girl just to see their content lol.
I have only 1 criticism: I feel the table game interlude is way too long and adds very little to the plot for the time it takes up; I would consider cutting it short a bit and instead flesh out the 1 on 1 time with Nadia more. That is unless of course the plan is to make this a game long full fledged side plot with some sort of relevance by the end. As things stand I found it a bit redundant and distracting.

All in all amazing job once again!

I realy like the chapter, but i can also sympathize for the people who expectedd more. All in all, a good update in my opinion i personaly disliked the D&D part wich is strange cause i liked the one in BADIK a lot, but this one didint like the scenery or their interactions in it. But besides this part i think everything was great, Bella only appears on a few scenes and yet she still feels relevant and important, also liked the focus on Zara shed a lot of light on this character as for Vanessa realy interesting addition not realy what i was expecting when she is first mentioned, it appears she will a important member of the cast and has an interesting depthness to her personality. The talks with Nadia were a bit interesting, but i was kinda confused how did she act so headstrong in chapter 3 and she was tottaly meek in this one. But its still a long road im guessing, im not realy up to date but i guess next update will be about Victoria her sister and Mila (?), wich means Nadia, Robin, Sasha, Mia and the other not so important chicks ( the one who invites him to yoga and Nadia friend) will be left out. I think at some point in the game (far away) you will have to decide who you want to pursue and im guessing if you want Mila or Mia you will have to move out and live with them and if you want maybe Zara, Nadia and im guessing Vanessa you will have to move in with Nick.
Tho i wish the next update wont take this long, good work.

Exactly this. Only real progression was made with Nami and we got to know new characters.

D'oh. I forgot that this game also had a D&D campaign.

Someone mentioned that BADIK is overrated, but I just can't see that. The dev puts out consistent fun updates. Sure some of the LI models in this game are the best I've ever seen in my decade of playing H games (Mila and Sasha best waifus), but there really is no parallel in terms of the amount and overall quality of content between the two games.

C'mon, devs! Maintenance is key to making a good game!

Waste of time? Clearly characterisation isn't a waste of time at all! The RPG session exists because it gives characters like Nadia some depth they wouldn't receive otherwise.

Keep the "other event cards" in mind, you know, that ones that wast intendet to be in the game. It seems that our little Nadja is preferencing a more ...

... how can i put it? ...

... exotic kind of sexuality

Call me weird, but i just finished the Bella + Nami (as much as you can get from both) play through, still need to do the Nami one and some other ones, but i don't miss the sex scenes not one bit. The story and dialogues are so well put together, it should be clear to everyone that it's not a porn game. There a lot of ones like that in my sig where you can bet with yourself if there's a pointless sex scene coming up in 3 renders time or in 5 renders time :LOL:
And yeah, the Vanessa character is very interesting :unsure:

You know, when you criticize a certain type of behaviour and literally the first guy who gives you a facepalm reaction, you just want to go:"Yes, you dude, it was indeed you, who I was talking about." :cool:
