Why do you think it's hoax? Didn't Ocean's patreons make a fuss about this last year?

 

[BobTheDuck]

Does anyone know who's that red-haired girl is that found Nika in the classroom almost at the very beginning when he was having a panic attack? She looks like she has too much of a significant presence to be irrelevant in the next seasons. She's also part of Sasha social circle and have simillar face features is this possible is that her sister?. I can't find any info about her in the fandom wikia

No, we only have theories based on what we hope, mainly because we really want her to be important enough to be a LI. Currently she's just a badass redhead who has a sense of civic compassion to look after poor person

Ocean even labelled renders of her as something like mysterious redhead in the DLC, I forget the exact name. But she's important enough to warrant her own renders, so that provides hope. And well, if we hang out with Sasha, we'll likely get to know her friends.

I suspect she does martial arts with Ayua and Sasha, because of how she and Sasha appeared and effectively broke up the fight. Everyone would know Ayua and Sasha can hold their own, and Sasha's family own part of the college, and all these girls seem to do some form of fitness... maybe we'll see her when Nika visits Ayua's gym/studio.

Man... I miss those times where Ocean still had balls.

I just felt the overwhelming cringe at the gun scene and the "psycho" reactions and "jokes" were also cringey AF. And I'm glad the cringey fake wannabe psycho is gone. But it's just my opinion. I guess I'm not the "cool" school shooter type.
The stupid teen me might have liked it though. Maybe. But I don't remember much about that time any more. Luckily.

I remember when I saw the gun scene for the first time and I couldn't help but laugh cause how stupid and cringey it felt. Idk, maybe I'm weird that way, but for me I couldn't help but really enjoy the weird/cringey moments. Because of it MC didn't felt like the typical run of the mill guy I saw for the hundreds of time. While I'm still probably gonna choose the old version over the new one, I found myself appreciating the new one in a way because of how it matured in some way.

I noticed that when Robin calls Bella to free Nika from the handcuffs, she tells Sasha that Nika didn't deserve it and she replies ''Maybe he does''. So I installed Scrappy Mod to unlock all the scenes and it turned out that when Robin calls Miss Marla she answers just ''Maybe'' instead. I don't know if it's just a mod's work or if it also happens in the original version, but are there any theories about it? Or is it treated as an unimportant detail? Typically, these types of details are the spark of various theories.

You know, I agree. I always said that time will put everything in its place and there is only either success or failure. From the very beginning, SG beamed , gained interest and great popularity, and Ocean got the golden ticket into his hands. He has all the stars agreed so much that this project could become the second Badik. After the decision to rework, everything was changed. To the point that mc began to have problems with potency and all in order to release avn and not receive an 18+ rating. Let's look at the results of the release on steam and the last devlog. For some reason, the number of patreons remained at approximately the same level as it was. 1400-1500. The number of those who came is approximately the number of those who left, who are very dissatisfied with many things and are simply tired. And, hehe,about the last devlog. Apparently, the release on steam for some reason did not collect millions like Badik, there is only enough money for taxes. For some reason people did not appreciate the story of the healing of an emo-impotent, where gender roles were reversed, where strong and independent women pay in restaurants and buy things for male losers, and in bed, when these losers refuse, they treat them with *understanding*. Maybe, purely theoretically, maybe the great businessman miscalculated with cutting out sex content and changing history? I have often seen a comparison that SG = Badik. But this is far from true. For some reason, people forget that drawing such scenes is much more difficult, and if Badik had followed the path of SG, then the update would not have 7 thousand renders, but 10+ each? It turns out that SG is very far from Badik. Okay, let's move on. Let's go down to the SG level in terms of the number of patreons. 1400-1500. Suddenly it turns out that the developers are going to insert sex content, violence, incest and normal men and have the same level of earnings , without buying top cards for 10 thousand euros. And personally, I don’t believe that anything will change much in the second season. The introduction of setralin into the plot as a way to kill libido and the narrative that this is a game with adult elements seems to hint. And this is only the beginning of the end. There is still another ballast project on the way with strong and independent female kingpins and losers ntr-men, which will definitely beat the ratings on steam and of course will not drag SG along with it to the bottom.

Paragraphs man, they are useful. Guess you haven't got to that stage yet at school huh?

Also, may want to brush up on forum rules while studying, don't discuss other games in a games thread.

Wait, when did this happen?

I think Amber is one of the hottest MILFs in any AVN... But I like Nojiko too. Even if I liked the old Nojiko even more. Miss Maria is hot too, even more with her new hairstyle...
Nojiko is unusually sexy in those renders, Ocean was always a little indirect with the questio if she would be a LI or lewdable... If I remember correctly at his LI was; "not a LI, but nothing is set in stone"...

Of all the MILFs encountered so far, Amber is the top of my list.

She's intelligent, observant, compassionate, just plain smokin hot and we have yet to see Amber in a bikini - because she does not strike me as a conservative one-piece type of woman.

I'm hoping that the cabin trip gives us quality time with not just Amber the professional, but Amber, the relaxed woman who literally lets her hair down and finds common ground with the MC while they share stories and jokes trying to keep the mood light ahead of the actual cabin visit which will be a tough one for the MC and Amber as she helps him through it.

Cheers!!

Funny sarcasm. Considering the wave of nonsense of your people in all the nooks and crannies where they interfered with other projects, as if they were somehow better. I have never been against snobbery when it is confirmed by facts. But the funny thing is, you guys have nothing to try to elitize on other projects of *your* level, and even more so compare yourself to badik. Only success matters, and you don’t have it. You won’t have it. So stop comparing yourself to badik until the statistics come together. Your developer is no different from other second-rate devs.

WTF? Did I miss something or is this indeed just a word-salad?

"Your people" / "You guys" / "Your developer"

Who do you think frequents this thread? - the MOGA (Make Ocean Great Again) movement or something? Pro tip - you'll have better luck chasing down Emmanuel Goldstein if you really need a boogeyman...

BobTheDuck and I worked on an alignment chart for most of the characters. After long posts containing detailed analysis (mostly from Bob) and curses (mostly from me), this is what we got:

William is the most interesting and difficult case.

Before, my list of the worst people among the main characters in both games consisted of five names. William was second right after his sister and Nika was fifth. But I'm currently playing SG for the second time (still didn't finish ch.5) and recalling the events in WiAB. And well... I was so wrong about both of them.

"Willi has thrown Leia's world into chaos, but he is not a chaotic character. It is his difference from Leia's memories of him that is causing her dissonance. Willi is quite logical about Donna/Jessy. He's quite logical and manipulative with Katie, getting the info from her about Kat's professor. His immaturity is a mask he hides behind, and Miru also uses that same mask. Evil? He's definitely got a lot of selfish attitudes, and is trying to be better, but I'd say lawful neutral. He runs to Wollust knowing it will hurt him, because he's worried about Helen, for nothing he did. He cries regularly about what he's done. He sees the consequences and he sees the choices to redeem himself. When Leia asks him to seduce Monica he refuses because he thinks he was an asshole to her and he doesn't want to be further. We can choose to give Katie the sweet burger etc. He was the only one who used his brains to notice the spiders were not native. So not chaotic, but rational in a lot of his decisions and thinking. He might be closest to a true neutral character, with a strong tendency toward evil/selfishness that he's trying to redeem."

William is a jerk, but that's about it. He's a nice guy who is struggling with his past. Unlike Bella and Nika, he actually sees his mistakes and tries to be a better person. So good for him.

I feel sorry for him because WiAB strikes me as a story not about healing or redemption, but quite the opposite.

As for Nika. His case clearly shows how difficult it is sometimes to judge a character who is the protagonist of a story. On my second playthrough, he completely fell in my eyes and ended up at the very bottom next to Leia. For those who don't understand why, I suggest trying to take an unbiased look at what he does during the first season.

I've touched on this topic before when discussing the consequences, but at the time it was mostly about Bella. Nika is more awful and dangerous than her.

So, overall
1. Leia
2. Nika
3. Bella
4. Vanessa (a high probability that she'll move up to third place)
5. William (only because he's a jerk)

 

[BobTheDuck]

Wait, when did this happen?

After Bella and Nika draw on each other, at the end of that class, Stephanie is acting nervous, and Nika talks to her. She then mentions why the police didn't visit Nika about Vic. The last screen I posted is after Nika leaves.

Is this guy Jazz supposed to be one of the ZPR college basketball players of the 1st team? Or is he one of the coaches?
He looks older than the ages of coach Hill and coach Stahl combined or 10 years older than I am.

Spoiler: Jazz

Considering what he says here, probably one of the coaches, I guess. The senior coaches But still not sure...

In my opinion, it's the opposite.
I find Marla to be potentially a much more interesting LI than Ayua.

It amazes me that people buy into this cheap sentimental nonsense.

Nika is the last person worth listening to when it comes to who is a baddie and who isn't.

I feel so bad for Mila. She has to listen to this hypocritical bullshit from the man who has the audacity to judge her and defend the person with whom he caused her so much trouble behind her back.

Again, I hope Ocean knows what he's writing.
