This was such an high school manga/anime moment for me, the way Ocean played the abusive upperclassman.

The whole basketball arc is remniscent of an anime. I half roll my eyes at it, and half love it.

Yep, and the redhead Nami has absolutely nothing to do with One Piece, it's just a coincidence.
I'm not even talking about the MC's haircut :KEK:

If this was any other game, sure, people would be justified in being tee'd off for not getting their coomer content in their coomer game. But this is an explicitly story driven titillation game that literally starts you off by immediately by setting your expectations straight about the type of content it has and will aim for.

Complaining about the lack of sex scenes in SG is like going to a steak house and complaining that the salad dressing isn't the type you want.

Ocean stretched out the introduction of characters for 6 years. Because of this, many problems arise. By the way, if you didn't know, there were porn scenes in the game, they were just cut out.

There's a difference between being slow and putting all kind of excuses to avoid any lewd stuff, like an impotent and almost asexual main character or even Germany patreon rules but if you enjoy your 50th buttshot with Bella or Nami, goof for you Turian.

The problem is the story pacing is just as slow. Take Summer, you know the so called character who gave the game its name. The mystery of her disappearance has still zero impact on the story since nobody, except for the MC, cares and he does nothing about it. After 5 years, five chapters and one rework we still don't know what really happened and while the recovery is apparently the main thematic the majority of the updates feels like filler content, adding new pointless characters to a already bloated cast like the 10 new milf in the book clubs or the new random friends of Bella & Sasha introduced in a rework while most of the love interest not named Bella are still waiting to be somehow relevant. That when we don't have a thrilling tabletop session :unsure:

I just want to replay the season 1 but… Season two is set to release more or less around June? I don’t want to play it again and wait three months more for the second season

Nah, it's someone's wishful thinking.
If we're lucky, WiAB CH4 will be out in June, for SG there are 2000-2500 renders left to do, not to mention the other "little things" like animations.

Right, i forgot about WiAB (sorry Mav :ROFLMAO:). It is what it is, a yummy new update in June and then some more months for SG, it’s a looong way, but is a good way.

Thanks!

I do like my terran booty shots, sure. :KEK:

But its not so much that, but... I know what I'm in for. I play SG knowing the diddling and shagging is way down the road. I don't expect it. Because Ocean set my expectations at the door.

Yeah, the story progression IS slow. I'm with you on that. While I enjoy the game for what it is, I do have my own bag of issue with the narrative and its progression. But thats a separate issue. Slow plodding narrative is a separate issue from slow, plodding coomer content. The two don't happen at the same pace in AVNs. And the point of topic is coomer content.

Yes, Ocean has tied coomer progression to narrative progression, and if narrative progression was faster, maybe coomer progression would be faster too... BUT. Everybody goes into SG knowing that coomer progression is gonna be blueballingly slow as a snail. So no, I don't agree that people should be up in arms over getting what you were told you were going to be given. You can dislike it, sure. But you're intentionally consuming content you know you dislike at that point... :HideThePain:

Anyways, we're clearly just gonna run in circles on this. And thats fair enough. Like the good man says, "it is what it is".

(I'm sure when we finally get some shagging down the line in 2035, it'll be.. unsatisfying.:poop:)

The sex comes with the story; the problem isn't the absence of sex, but the slow progress of the story.

What makes me pessimistic is that we haven't yet reached the part of the VN where things get complicated because the Dev has to create animated sex scenes, or follow different routes depending on the relationship between the MC and the LIs (from what I've read here, there will be a lot of possible variations).
