To be honest, I like Where It All Began more than Summer's Gone so its kind of lame that SG gets a lot more attention but I still like SG a ton so its fine. But I do wish WIAB got the same level of attention.
I kinda have to agree the only reason i play SG is because I like Bella that much (the interactions between the evil cop and bella and the cat and mouse game between vanessa and bella have potential too)
but I already now that SG will be kinda boring without all the rivalry,ntr,intrigues... and so on and the story will probably much more rely on highschool/college female groupe drama and be more vanilla
so in my eyes WIAB has more potential for a more darker story, gangs,intrigues,rivalry and KINKS.... and so on and can craft a way more interesting and engaging story around that so
WIAB will probably by FAR take the cake for me even if I like bella build up alot but the story will be more boring just because you have way less options its like batman without joker ,or superhero story without failure or game of thrones without all the rivalry and intrigues
Its just boring...I saw it all the time with dik game and all the other BIG games that go in the direcction
