It might be new content but supposedly it shouldn't alter the story in any significant way. And it's not like the "new" content is fap content. So those that are very impatient and can't wait another month or so, go ahead and play through right now. You know you want to. Those that don't mind the wait, should wait.
No, some reworking of Chapter 2 will come with the Chapter 5 final release. But see my comment earlier in this post.
To add CabinFever: it´s said the chapter 2 is mostly reworked, especially the Heist is given more content. And I guess some models (e.g. Mila) got a new look.
I'm not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me, but the point is none of that is in contradiction of what I wrote.
If you haven't played SG before, then it makes sense to wait for Ch 5 FULL to drop (sometime next quarter). Then you'll get a very good idea of what the AVN is about and you will be able to decide if you like or not (bearing in mind there's no sex in the AVN yet), without the distraction of reworked content.
The quality of the renders themselves are far superior.
I'd say a careful storyteller would make those absences work into the plot's favour; Bella being in a hospital bed in the same way Vic was would be a cheap way to create drama, but told well, it could be very emotive and a great mirror to show different ways to dealing with loss. It might also be a way that Bella and VIc get brough closer together. A prolonged absence of Bella might also create tension as someone like Kate tries to win Nika behind Bella's back. Or the canyon race occurs while Nika is getting therapy at the cabin. THere are so many ways to weave that story.
Already rolling on the speculation path, maybe it would work better if Bella would get arrested and incarcerated for a few weeks for illegal racing (she would also lose her race car and her license for a longer period and she'd have a huge quarrel with her mom, obviously), instead of getting injured and hospitalized the way Vic was?
Just a somewhat interesting thought I had...
Yeah, much more interesting than repeating the same traumas we've already seen. Also a very good way to get more tension from the Ceril'sAlready rolling on the speculation path, maybe it would work better if Bella would get arrested and incarcerated for a few weeks for illegal racing (she would also lose her race car and her licence for a longer period and she'd have a huge quarrel with her mom, obviously), instead of getting injured and hospitalized the way Vic was?
Begging aunt Claire for a few bucks...
Because people don't read stuff....
Moreover, mind you, Ocean only had to add a little of Zara in chapters 4 and 5, develop her character a little, let the MC interact with her in a few scenes, and she already had a lot of fans, even among people who previously called her an arrogant bitch, worse than Bella.
I agree. Besides, Ocean is ultimately trying to monetise this game. If Bella's screen time drops drastically, Ocean's revenue from Bella's fans could drop significantly. I'm honestly not sure if Ocean would want such a drop in revenue.
Fans and haters of anything are very fickle people heheMoreover, mind you, Ocean only had to add a little of Zara in chapters 4 and 5, develop her character a little, let the MC interact with her in a few scenes, and she already had a lot of fans, even among people who previously called her an arrogant bitch, worse than Bella.
