VN Ren'Py The Adventurous Couple [TACOS S2 P4a] [Mircom3D]

[rob7278]

I loved the fact that Tony could be an alpha male and a beta male at the same time. That made him a different and much more interesting kind of character in this genre, where usually males are just one or the other. It didn't matter what he was in the scene, he was convincing in either category. And you always felt that when Anne was getting dominated by some big dicked black bull, and he was there watching, at any moment he could join in and comfortably hold his own.

I can kind of get behind your line of thinking, but I see it differently.
From my understanding an Alpha cuck is someone that chooses to share their wife with other guys, because they get really turned on seeing how much other guys desire their wife. AKA Hotwife genre/fetish. An alpha is very secure with themselves and aren't intimidated by other guys fucking their wife. They view other guys as human dildo's/sex toys. The other guy is just there to provide physical pleasure, then they have to leave.
A beta cuck is basically someone that feels like they are unworthy to be married to such a goddess and they are willing to be subjected to humiliation just to be able to hold on to whatever relationship and attention their wife is willing to give them.

If anything, the MC is actually being more alpha by sitting in the corner watching his wife fuck other guys. Because in his mind he can get up at anytime and join in, or if he really wants to he can tell the other guy to get lost and take over by himself.

I'm not trying to get hung up on semantics, because I agree with your underlying point - that the MC is different and more interesting in TAC, due to this dynamic.
But I also am starting to feel like any character development is becoming more and more just filler dialogue between sex scenes.

I truly appreciate what Zara's trying to do here, because I used to try to do it in the old days, in which there was some sort of chance that this game had comprehensible character arcs. Once I admitted that it doesn't and never will, I stopped trying.

That said: between the various massage therapists, waitresses, women he met at the diner, women he met at work, women he met at the beach, women he impregnated, women who gave birth to his wife, and so forth...how many times does the MC confess to Anne? Never. Not once. Nicole, Emma, Mike's wife...those she knows about because she either set it up, watched it, or knew about it via her partners. The rest? Everyone whining that Anne never confesses...listen, you're playing with a blindfold on, because the MC cheats with far more impunity than Anne. He always has. She cheats too, and there's more visualized erotic content if she does, but nowhere near as often as him, unless you attempt a very attenuated playthrough.

Sadly, none of this applies to the hard reset, which is among the most ridiculous things this game has ever attempted. Just make it a willing cuckold/hotwifing game and keep writing new sex scenes for Anne (and the MC) forever, until the inevitable calamity. (I say this because the dev used to "like" every post that pointed out this was where the game was headed.) But please don't insult our intelligence and claim that there's some sort of narrative structure or consistency to their behavior, because there hasn't been one for ages.

Do not make me laugh. MC cheats more often than Anna is curious. See how many sexual partners Anna has and how many Mc. How many times has Anna not told Mc she had fucked the doctor, the receptionist and a few other people. Anna never asks Mc to tell her who he was fucking with. What disproves their findings at the beginning Ch1 ,, We always tell the truth. “For those who think Mc is an alpha and can join anytime, Mc just thinks he can join, but only in the mind. There is a scene where Mc wants to join. When Anna fucks some guy, Anna gets frustrated and replies that she is waiting for her turn, so Anna is not happy when she joins. Mc is a happy cuckold idiot, not an alpha.

Just finished both paths, and there doesn't appear to be any difference between them at all. I hope that's going to change, because otherwise why bother?

I can just about get my head around Anne cheating on Tony, on the cuck path, even though it totally ignores all those people who chose for Tony to find out about it from Emma, and for Anne to admit that it was happening, when Tony confronted her. On the cuck path, I'm going to let it go, even if I'm not totally happy with it. Because if Tony is a cuck, he's more likely to go along with her cheating.

But on the swinging path, it makes no sense whatsoever. Because swingers are supposed to share everything, so why would Anne be lying, even we eliminate the possibility that she started doing it at all (which on a purely swinging route seems highly unlikely). The only conceivable way, it could work ( and I still don't really see this in Swinging relationship), is if Anne had Tony's complete consent. Which so far is totally not the case. So I'm really hoping the Dev is going to change this, (preferably to Anne not having fun with Martin, but at the very least with Tony's full knowledge). Because otherwise, it will make a total nonsense of this route.

I mean really they should alter the whole scenario at the club, so Tony knows exactly what is going on ( at least on the swinging path), plus I don't understand how Tony having an orgy, whilst Anne wasn't around fits in with the swinging route either. Swinging is supposed to be both partners having fun, with other people together, not separately. It seems to me, Mircom is very confused about what the term actually means. And if he's not going to do it properly, what's the point of doing it at all? We may as well, have just stuck with the game as it was, because at the moment I'm not seeing much difference anyway.

So please Mircom get your act together, sort out the issues with Martin, and start treating these two routes with some degree of seriousness, instead of the confused mishmash we seem to currently have.

Finally it seams that you get what most of the other members on this forum are saying....

I myself have been one of the biggest critiques for this game..... When I first came across it 2/3 years ago I absolutely loved this game.... It reminded me of my own relationship with my wife when we first got into the swinging and hotwife/cuck scene. Maybe that's why I have become so critical of the game and maybe that's the wrong way to play these games. My wife and I have played this game together and I got a few surprise to the choices that my wife chose. She stopped playing after half way through chap 14, I have stuck with it in the hope that it returns to its core value of a couple having adventures together.
I don't hate this game, I just don't like that there is no consequences to the cheating from either partner and that our choices don't mater. Even if we had the control of Anne (which it looks like and I do hope is going to return in TAC2) I probably wouldn't play Anne much different to how she is. The main different actions would be Martin and any other character that I didn't particularly like ie not being respectful to either Anne or Tony. Exactly how I am with my wife when she chooses potential guy's and girls to play with.
I am going to give this game another couple of chapters to see if mircom can turn the game around before I give up on it for good...

No you misunderstood me. Within the very limited format, that Mircom appears to have decided to try to squeeze the game. It doesn't make any sense. If you have a purely swinging route, and up until now we didn't. Then having Anne cheating on Tony with Martin is just nonsense. Because Swingers don't lie and cheat. They're supposed to tell each other everything. I'm just saying that the game has now changed radically, and within those limitations, it's just stupid to carry on with that storyline.

But that doesn't mean I've changed my mind about what Anne was guilty of, prior to Chapter 15. I still think she wasn't cheating from Tony's perspective. Chapter 15 though has changed the goal posts, by forcing you to follow a particular line in the Anne/Martin story. The one where they have sex, whether you made that choice or not, and if you did, Emma never told the MC about it, and he never got the opportunity to confront her about it, and Anne didn't get the opportunity to finally tell the truth. All of that was ignored. That is hugely different from what was in the first 14 chapters. In the context of a swinging route, which I assume is not supposed to have content where Anne and Tony are off doing there own thing, and not telling the other about it. That is completely bonkers.

In the new context of this game, my interpretation of whether Anne was cheating or not, just doesn't apply anymore. Because we're now playing a very different ballgame. So that's why I've changed my opinion. I just think going forward, things are going to be very different. And at this point, I don't know whether I'm going to feel the same way about this game in the future. It was flawed before, but I still really liked playing it. But now, who knows?

I LOVE THIS GAME

Another idea - the jobs Anne has go away so she gets a new one - call girl or streetwalker depending on certain choices.

Anne, I want you to fuck everyone you see because I get off on it.
OK.

Anne, I want you to fuck everyone you see because I get off on it, but not Martin.
OK. (fucks Martin)

Anne, I want you to fuck everyone you see because I get off on it.
But can we just be honest about it?
Okay.
(Neither are honest.)

Anne, would you like to be blackmailed into being a whore?
Sure!

Solid writing. Really solid. So sophisticated, so mature. "Ya babe me to, lets' common, rights?!"

This was one of the first games I got into on this site, Chapter 11 (later played 12 as well), but it sounds like some of the more recent updates have gone off the rails / retconned a lot of what happened. It's a shame; I feel there's a few games that I enjoyed that redid earlier sections to where I'd rather not try it out. Perhaps I'll swing by once finalized, but would rather TAC be completed and a new game get started rather than undo.

 

[Deleted member 3727657]

hi which is the season 11, 12 and 13 of this game?

 

[Deleted member 3727657]

Is season 14 actually a remake and does it contain season 1 to season 14?
So I don't need to play Chapter 1-10 Old?

 

[yarrak19051905]

So I don't need to play Chapter 1-10 Old?

yep, just go with "chapter 14 full fixed".

 

[zoker60]

I played this game a few years ago, and I thought it was very promising. Man, it's gotten worse since I last played it.

 

[herrbertold]

I've enjoyed this game since it first came out. But some things need addressing and I would say repairing/changing. In my game MC's dad fucked anne, and he knew it, so why is it set for auto cheater now? 2nd, When asked to work for MC's Uncle, I said no, which should mean that the characters don't do it. Having the MC automaticly tell Anne to do it, when the player has already said no, is Stupid, and will loose you players. As a player, I don't like illegal shit, I HATE blackmail and I find it highly irritating when I am asked to make a choice in a game, and then the Dev just ignores my choice and goes about his merry way without a care.

I am almost afraid to continue playing at this point in fear that other things I hate will happen without my consent/control and I will have the game decsions I have made ignored.

I hope this will be fixed. One of the best things about the game (other than Anne's skin) is having the choice to say no to any of the scenes. With this choice being removed (yeah, yeah, I know I have mentioned this a few times) the game has taken a severe downslide.

Yeah, I think there are about 1,362 people on this thread that will agree with you. Just scroll back and you will see. I'm an optimist though so I'm waiting for the full update before I pass final judgement. I will say I am not a fan of people who complain that he is just listening to his patreon subscribers. I would fully expect he would. I don't support him but if you feel that he is just listening to his subscribers then join his patreon. If not, I don't think you can complain about him listening to them. If they are giving him the money then he should. Trust me, I've followed this game for a long time and for a while it was my favorite. I don't like this direction at all. I agree with everything you said in your post.

You probably played not carefully. You have no choice in most of the scenes. The doctor, the receptionist, the guest on the beach in the gazebo and in a dozen more scenes. But here it is terrible that we do not control Anna.
