Yeah, that joke isn't getting old at all yet.

You should understand them bro, they're mourning their broken sisterfucking hopes. It's a coping mechanism.

Anyway, I finished the WiAB update and now I don't treat it as an annoying bonus episode of SG, it's now a self-contained game with a solid plot, story and internal logic. The motivation and relationships of the characters are clearead and follow the plot.

Now I'm looking forward to the SG update again, not only because judging by WiAB it will be fucking awesome, but also because I wonder if this update will have any additions to the stories of the characters from WiAB 20 years later.

Did anyone know Summer's release this summer or still Gone ?

Anyone who's been following the game's development news knows. The dev's rough estimate that tt'll be Q4 2025 (though I wouldn't count on it happening before December), so no, not this summer.

Poor girl has no idea what awaits her.

Zanes family awaits her. She's been working with Scarlet as she mentioned to Nika.

That was the joke, yes.

A "great joke", can you tell me what the logic of the relationship between Katie and Willy is? How many days have passed in the game, 4 days? 3 days you mock her, and on the fourth you "sucked on the ISS airlock" and she almost jumps on Willy's cock. Mira has gone crazy... Excellent internal logic, to return to a family that does not need you, to return to a "society" full of shit , for what?

I'm out of reactions but just know that

A "great joke"

Yep, this thread last week.

can you tell me [...]

Do I have to? It's all in the game, all you need is to read what characters talk about.

what the logic of the relationship between Katie and Willy is?

Please clarify what you mean. As far as I understand, this is a relationship between a girl who fell in love with a guy and was deeply hurt by him. Now she experiences a mixture of feelings, resentment, anger, mistrust, irritation, and an attraction and lust for him that she is afraid to admit to herself.

On his part, it's regret, guilt for the way he and Leia treated Katie as children, guilt for abandoning them both. And, depending on your choice, also attraction to her, seeing how beautiful she's become.

So they both try to rethink who they are to each other now, and build a new relationship based on the feelings they have for each other now. Does the MC trust her, does he have feelings for her? The game asks you about it. It's your choice. And suddenly you ask me, what is the logic of their relationship?

How many days have passed in the game, 4 days? 3 days you mock her, and on the fourth you "sucked on the ISS airlock" and she almost jumps on Willy's cock.

Yep 3 days after his return and the years of living together before he left.

If you've been observing how the MC behave, you'd have noticed that he's one of those guys who naturally gets along with girls. For him, grabbing a girl he knows (or even just met) by the butt or tit without getting slapped by the face is as natural as it is for you to write a post here about how Ocean ruined everything again.

And I got the impression that the main reason Katie threatened to rat on Willie and Leia (and the reason he left) was jealousy and not just a revenge for how they treated her. So the feelings didn't arise on the 3rd day, but were suppressed for years. And now the floodgates have opened.

Also Katie doesn't strike me as a shy and prude girl, just look at her lingerie models. So jumping on his dick wouldn't be a big problem for her if she wanted to. But now she still doesn't trusts him and tests the waters, how far she can go and what his reaction would be.

Mira has gone crazy... Excellent internal logic, to return to a family that does not need you, to return to a "society" full of, for what?

Lolwhat?

if you're not being sarcastic ....... you're coping , seething and malding as much as the sisterfucking dudes .

 

[yossa999]

These are the most incorrect combination of words to associate with the changes brought to WiaB.

Nope, they are best describing what I've seen.

Just take Leia to prove it
When William explains why Leia and Katie's relationship is complicated he says that Katie's birth has basically lowered their status in the family by ruining their chances of becoming heirs. But despite this Leia treats Katie like her annoying little sister not her godfather's daughter

Because they actually had relationships like sisters have and raised like the ones. Like Tom Hagen and Santino Corleone. I already have a blister on my tongue from repeating this example from The Godfather.
By the way, Tom Hagen was the family consigliere, and Fredo Corleone was just a bratty child, weakest and less capable, although he was Don's own son.

Scarlet, Dylan and Helen are her superiors in the hierarchy and she is far too arrogant and disrespectful towards them.
Leia dealing drugs against Helen's approval works on a "plot" level with "Mama Helen" not "Donna Helen"

And "Uncle" Joe is superior to them, and he left his business under the supervision of Leia. Not Dylan, Scarlet or Helen.

Not to mention that as an organized crime syndicate they are so big that they have their own secret jury inside, but at the same time they are so small that outside the confines of Wollust William is out of their reach.

Can't connect the parts of this statement to get something meaningful.
Yep they're organized crime syndicate.
Yep they're big. In the area they operate.
Yep they have their jury. How it correlates with the size of the syndicate?
Yep size is relative, something can be big, compared to one thing and small, compared to another thing. For example, Zanes family can be influental in Wollust and have no power outside of it. You see any contradictions here?
Gus Fring was a big shot in Albuquerque and nobody, when he was standing in front of Don Eladio.
And why would they want to follow William and bring him back to the Jury if the sentence would be exile out of the state, exactly what he did by himself?
Besides, Helen visited him in prison, so he wasn't that unreachable, it was just that no one needed to reach him.

This man got a blister on his tongue from typing too much. His keyboard must be so disgustingly wet with saliva.

Yep, that's my secret fetish! I'm gonna convince Ocean to add it to the next SG update

The next time Nika has an Amber session, she's being all seductive typing her notes into her phone with her tongue.

Well written, I wish I could see this in the game.

By the way, Tom Hagen was the family consigliere, and Fredo Corleone was just a bratty child, weakest and less capable, although he was Don's own son.

Bad example, Tom is never treated as anything other than one of the henchmen with a little more privilege. For example at the beginning of the story when Michael is a stranger to the family business Tom is incredibly respectful towards him because he is the son of the boss

And "Uncle" Joe is superior to them, and he left his business under the supervision of Leia. Not Dylan, Scarlet or Helen.

"Uncle" Joe is presented by the feds as an enforcer for the Zanes, which puts Leia below them anyway. Even imagining that Joe is external at the moment the operations pass to Leia as an associate she must answer to her superiors

You see any contradictions here?

A lot, take Tulsa King for example to see the differences between a small organization with local power and the interactions between mafia families.

I'd say that the dynamics between the Zanes and the Aranos need to be revealed more before we can decide:
- Are the Aranos a separate family that pay tribute to the Zanes?
- Dylan is the Zane, but Helen is the leader (and not a Zane herself) as Dylan's brother and sister are also Zanes. So Scarlet is also not a Zane.
- Is Helen a marriage of convenience/politics from another Family, like what they're considering doing with Leia?
- Is Scarlet bing related to Helen the reason Joe works with the Zanes? Or does Joe have a background with Dylan or Helen directly?
- Leia's empire is really Joe's that she's building up in his absence, it will be interesting to see if he approves and the dynamic of that discussion, but we can assuming it works out because:
- Leia still appears to have control over some things, so I assume the gentlemen's club be a recruitment establishment in SG
- and Katie's contracts appear to still be extended past the 5 year mark for any business that Leia invests in (presumably it's Leia who invests in ZPR, and that's why Katie is the designer).
- Will the way the Aranos relate to the Zanes be the same dynamic for the Petrovas and the Reveras by the time SG kicks in?

 

[yossa999]

Bad example, Tom is never treated as anything other than one of the henchmen with a little more privilege. For example at the beginning of the story when Michael is a stranger to the family business Tom is incredibly respectful towards him because he is the son of the boss

Tom is a lawyer and respectful for everyone he talks to. But Tom and Santino were in power after the assassination attempt on Don. Or rather Santino, but he completely relied on Tom's judgements. Both of them didn't trust Mike, not in the sense that they suspected him of something, but simply didn't believe that he was capable of helping them in gangster showdowns. And only when he took the initiative into his own hands and literally got involved in family affairs did they begin to respect him. And we should go in off-topic thread to continue this.

But the dynamics between Zanes was a bit different. Leia and Will were raised almost as Helen's and Dylan's children. They were "firstborn" Their attitude to the kids didn't change with the unexpected Katie's birth. So, the MC treats Helen with formal respect and is a bit afraid of her, but not Katie, she's their bibi. And Leia does the same.

"Uncle" Joe is presented by the feds as an enforcer for the Zanes, which puts Leia below them anyway. Even imagining that Joe is external at the moment the operations pass to Leia as an associate she must answer to his superiors

Well, maybe it will be clarified later. Maybe she's been assigned to this position by that guy with moustaches who was lecturing her in those flashbacks from her childhood. Obviously Joe doesn't trust Scarlet, and Helen is muted Why not Dylan, I have no idea. Probably will be explained later.

A lot, take Tulsa King for example to see the differences between a small organization with local power and the interactions between mafia families.

Man, no, please. Just no. Just not Tulsa King, it's pure comedy, and I'm still under the impression of the detailed analysis, precisely from the point of view of the character's behavior within the framework of criminal relations. In short, bullshit, made for show. And we have to go to the off-topic thread to continue.

But even there you can see that once you set foot on foreign soil, you will have serious problems with the locals, no matter how respected your family is in the mafia hierarchy. You have to be really desperate to do it. Young runaway "recruit" is not a cause to do that.

And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is a perfect story based on the memoirs of former mob bosses, claiming to be accurate showing of the thug life. Moreover, it takes place in Wollust, a completely fictional city located in a fictional country reminiscent of a mix of Europe and America. Within its own logic and rules, the plot is quite consistent.

Hi, Chapter 5 Beta includes 1-4?

 

[Dr.TSoni]

In at least two different conversations their relationship is described as the exact opposite of what you described.

But the point remains, the "families" have contacts among themselves to avoid war unless they are rivals. In the context that Ocean has inserted, the Giuseppes would have contacted their allies to ensure that Willy ended up shanked in prison

Yes

I said it in more rude words, and he replied, "Lolwhat?" I almost believed it was an ocean in disguise.
