.... it doesn't have to be a defined relationship for them to be an LI.... an LI is an LI, whether or not they are in an official relationship... anyway this arguing is pointless as it has the tag now anyway.
Also the past thing counts if it is the protags bloody wife XD
I just will never get the NTR thing, if there is no relationship or emotional connection(which I don`t see how people would have in so little time, but I might be wrong and there is) what is the problem? If that doesn't exclude them from being with you what is the problem?
Edit: didn't intend on posting this but since it for some reason was posted with my other reply I'll clarify.
I don't want to discuss NTR that is why I wasn't going to post this, but to complement it, why are the people most vocal about NTR not bothered by their character cheating on their partners? I don't know, just reflect a bit on it, also I do understand not wanting to watch, I don't want to watch anything the MC wouldn't be present for, and that is a valid criticism. I just don't know why keep bringing it up at this point.
"hate on the game" makes it sound as if there is only two camps commenting on here: diehard fans and haters. Nothing as juvenile as that at all. Most of the criticism on here comes from people like myself who enjoyed it from the start, got into the story and then watched it devolve into a "what the fuck?" type mess.
Those of us who do not like to see our supposed iron man SF super soldier act like a complete mentally challenged cuck when near any woman and who for the most part lets his sister emasculate and taunt him repeatedly, can`t be blamed for the direction it`s been going. It may be a "passion project" for the dev but what audience is he exactly aiming at? those who enjoy all their Li`s being passed around and "shared"? or literal femdom sexual coercion aka Deb with Julia...? cucking?
Romance? it has the tag but where the fuck is that so far...
Not sure exactly where the dev is going but I`ll see with the next one or two updates if he has any other route or MC actually can function like a normal man around his sister/daughter.
The Astrid was a bad sign, instead of telling these overbearing females to back the fuck off he has to allow Deb to watch him with Astrid and hey, like all the others she`s Bi now. Oh dear.
Looking at the comment thread, there seems a lot more pissed off players than gratified ones.
Hmm, I wonder why.
Although the Mc was said to be a soldier on special forces I don't know where the whole "iron man SF super-soldier" came from, I met plenty of soldiers that were as dumb and emotionally stunted as the MC, hell one of them became the president of my country, he was discharged because he wanted to do a terrorist attack, but there many like this, many much worse, much much worse, the problem is that it didn't reach your expectations from the looks of it, like the whole cyberpunk 2077 thing that is happening now in mainstream gaming.
I'll agree that there really isn't anything akin to a romance yet.
The Astrid thing I already approached, for me, as a bi person brought up in a very religious household, it looks like she never even though about her sexuality and now is curious, maybe she is bi maybe not, well see, so far she didn't do anything that is really by, she got turned on by being watched and domming Deb and she got turned on by a massage and some touches, all pretty normal, also I have met far more bisexual/bicurious people than straight people, although since my country used to be very religious(still is way more religious then it should be) a lot of people repress it, so for me, it really isn't that farfetched, most woman that I met were bisexual, but again this is because of my experiences.
Now for the "normal man" that is a hard claim you made, and it depends on what you consider a normal man, and you are really expecting that in a game that has had nothing even remotely close to normal so far? now if you mean a more mature person, then again it will depend on what you think that is.
Maybe because people like to bitch about stuff far more then praising it, I praise most games that I play if I liked the update but rarely feel the need to talk anymore then that, and when I have money to spare I like throwing it at the dev's, the reason why most people who like the game don't stay on the thread Is that when we praise it things become a discussion, and that gets tiresome, even I who really like discussing things get tired of this thread, also it is normally people repeating the same thing over and over again and I'm just done with most of it so I don't come around often, this does not mean that I don't have a criticism of the game, much for the contrary, but I already aired it out multiple times and don't feel the need to do it even more.
In the end, this seems like it is a game the dev is making for themselves and people like him, and they seem to enjoy fucking with peoples expectations and getting them riled up, I'm not even saving that people hating is a bad thing as it keeps the thread alive, and that seems to be the point, now when people give valid criticism without hate and with alternatives I actually see the dev taking into consideration, at least for me that is obvious from update to update, in my opinion, the game needs the "humour" tag at this point, someone already explained it in fine detail a couple of pages back.
