Despite the criticism here about the story changes, I, for one, like the update.

One of the issues I had with some of the previous versions:

This remains one of my favorite moments in the game (and no doubt someone has posted it before):

I believe the following may be a continuity/timeline error by OceanLab:

Anyway, the game continues to be like an addictive TV series... binge watch a "season" then wait impatiently for close to a year for the next "season" to come out ...

Thanks!

Duh, how did I miss that...the name was right in front of me!!! I didn't notice the name on the last playthrough, and thought it was a continuation of the MC talking.

Hey guys! I have played till Ch 3 before the reboot. Does 4.5 has all the reworked parts or is it better to wait till 5 and start again from scratch?

 

[Freedom9555]

Is there a difference in 4.5 beta and 4.5 full Storyline?

Yes, the Dev re-arranged the story abit in chapter two. To make it flow better. Also updated many of the renders to the newer style they do.

meanwhile me listening to Beza - Leave the Past Behind among others

(although I don't understand what he is saying because I don't speak English but I still like how it sounds)

has there been any significant story change since the scene where you are walking home with the sister? Because I tried this a while back and then a idk how many months back but literally there was no change then.

Story-wise, nope. Only reworks to make the old content match the new ones in terms of render quality and dialogue. Also, some scenes/dialogue have been removed while at the same time, new ones have been added.

 

[ntohugo]

fantastic story and renders, damn.

Guys, pay attention at the characters in the background.

First day at "university" (sure it is ). Nojiko's talking to MC & Nami: you will notice Sasha and the basketball team's leader (the guy who puts a finger in Trey's ass!) arriving, entering the building and walking around together for a while.

either your memory is playing games with you or 4.5 full has some dramatic changes compared to old version

Deleted all my saved games and replaying from the beginning, no mods this time (avoid future headaches). REALLY loving the replay.

I've stopped playing AVN's with mods long time ago. It's truely better in the most cases. Sure, I've installed URM and sometimes I use it but you'll have more fun without modding after all.

I have two monitors, so I will use a walkthrough PDF sometimes, just have it on my right monitor while playing if I want any assistance. This way I don't have someone else's coding to contend with. I can program myself, so I have unpacked files and examined code if I REALLY need help... usually search for "menu:" then check for variable changes... even recoded some to colourize the right choices in green at times, heheh...

What I'll sometimes do is create a variable at the top of script.rpy like:

define grn="{color=#0F0}"

And then if I seen a menu item that is the right choice, I just add in "[grn]" to the start of the menu selection like

menu:
    "[grn]Good choice":
       #code goes here
    "Bad choice":
      #code goes here

That will make that selection green. That's about the most I will do, and usually ONLY if I have problems later and I need to see where I went wrong. It's a simple way that works in many cases.

So sorry for you, but it happens in 4.5 full

Hard disagree. I won't even touch the game if I can't run at least URM. I have not had a single instance with any game in which URM did not wildly improve the experience. This is especially true with games such as Summer's Gone. I like having control of my playthrough. Not falling prey to devs getting clever with variables or limiting your experience in order to force you into multiple routes/saves.

People babbling about this being the best story ever when Ocean himself is making this game without a script. Changing who is LI and who's not. Supposedly connecting two games and then saying that Wiab gets a whole story overhaul. All in all, I bet that chapter 5 is going to be a turning point of this project flopping or turning into another VN with porn in it.

For the record, the first Ironman movie didnt have a script...and if my memory doesn't fail me i think it made great sucess in the box office....

I thought the same times ago but then came the point at which I realized that I wasn't giving myself more control, but rather less control. Instead of making my own decisions, I only ever chose the options that the mod showed me to be the best. It's like reading a book. In the end I played the game like the mod wanted, but not like I would have done. In principle, the author shouldn't have built any queries into the game. You just keep clicking. Only at the moment on the variable displayed by the mod. I took the fun out of the AVN. It's a lot more fun to discover things and see things that other players don't even notice because they never get to see those dialogues and images because of their gameplay. And as I said: I also use URM from time to time. But never in my first playthrough, the real playthrough. Only in later runs, although I tend to go for walkthroughs and only check something with URM from time to time. Every once in a while I change a variable, but mostly it's unnecessary.
