When I get to the end of the Ocean games update, I really wish for the next update 
, I wish it would update 100 renders every week.

What the hell happened to this game?
As someone who played the original when it was first coming out, I can proudly say it was way more fun and engaging than the current version. While I do admit that the renders for the remake are vastly superior to the og, everything else kind of feels like a downgrade (Especially the story).
This feels like the dev is trying to make the story bigger than it really is. And don't even get me started on the update schedule. At least in the old game I understood everyone's position in the story. Katie was a little she-devil that was fun to provoke but was ultimately a sweet girl who acted out as a defence mechanism. The fact that she also had a crush on the mc but also had an inferiority complex because of the mc's focus on Leia added to her character. Hell, even og Zoey realized that she was into him the moment they met. Now remake Katie is kinda boring in comparison. Outside of some banter she's forgettable.
Miru has improved in some areas and somehow regressed in others. While her presence as the mc's gf in more notable, its concerning the amount of times she threatens physical violence on the mc when he says something that doesn't involve her. An example is the introduction of remake Dana. MC calls her jabba or fatty something as a joke between old friends. Then out of nowhere Miru comes in saying "Be grateful she took it as a joke or I'd break every bone in your body including your penis." like wtf? Where did that come from? Again, outside of her new design she doesn't have much going for her in terms of memorability.
Leia's character is weird. In the og she called the mc because of what happened to Helen but also used it as an excuse to get him back so that they could rekindle their past relationship. In the remake she doesn't even trust the mc so her calling him is completely random. And we don't even know if these two had a relationship in the past (which the og made clear very early on). Watching the og version strut and show off her dominace to the other girls made her memorable as she felt like a shark going after her prey (mc). Now outside of being angry with the mc and irritable about everything, her current version also isn't that compelling.
Not much to say about the mc except he seems so much more boring and somber now. OG counterpart was fun, relaxed and low-key a scumbag but very entertaining to watch. I mean he literally threw a cup a Katie in a bar from across the room for sh!ts and giggles, fought a racoon and got high in the woods!
As for poor Dana... This one hurts to much to even describe. Her old character was just so sweet and naive that it was actually endearing and made me root for her. Now she's a different person with the same name and different design.

My advice to all the OG WIAB fans will always be the same - stop comparing old and new WIAB and it will be easier to "accept" and enjoy the reworked version.
Surely you can discuss all the things you dislike so far compared to old game as you did in your comment, but you won't really bring anything new in here as I'm pretty sure all this stuff was discussed too many times already.

"Bringing something new" isn't a prerequisite to post anything. And frankly, most of these games develop the story so slowly that would be an inappropriate expectation anyway.
Why make any effort to "make it easier" to accept or enjoy a story? You either enjoy it or you don't. Having not played the older version, I find it interesting to read people comparing how the game has evolved.

Never liked WiAB (the old one)... to me it was a huge mess.
The new approach seems be more "clean" like Ocean has a plan for the game.
But i didnt liked it either the first two chapters. Dunno... all characters know each other but i dont know shit about them. Everything is foggy. I dont like it if a story starts like this. Like dialogues that goes like this "you know why i hate you" "yes i know and iam sorry" bla bla... well... i wanna know too? Cause i dont.
So... yeah... was annoying like shit. With chapters 3 and some connected dots with the first 2 chapters i would say, i at least know enough to get most characters and what they care about. Which is just essencial for me. If chapter 3 would deliver "more" too it, i would have just dropped the game. But all in all, now the game has my attention. I like Oceans style, how the games look and how they are written. Summers Gone is better in many regards, but WiAB caught a little up to it, enough so that i want to know how it goes on with the next update.
Hopefully the update shedule decrease a bit... for both games btw. I admit, i am not a fan of the fact that ocean is doing both games at the same time, and i think its one of the reasons why the update shedule is so long. Would be better he focused on one game i think... But maybe he just cant, needs the "distraction" for himself too, to create something different then the same game over years.
Well it is what it is, WiAB wasnt a game that i liked so far, now iam at least way more interested.
LEts see when the next update comes out for SG and WiAB... the waiting time for both were to long in my book but the updates were good ones. Not exactly "worth" the long wait, for that there should have been more content over all. But its way more than the average DEV delivers to be fair. And the quality is just top notch, especially for SG.
Ocean had to overcome some obstacles as i know, he moved, some hardware issues and so on... and he said the upcoming work should run "smoother" lets see how that goes...

Do we have a theory how many years MC was gone? Previous to chapter 3 I thought it was 3-4 years, but now with prison + being together with Miru for 5 years (assuming they didn't meet before/during prison)...
Do we know how old MC is (could help)?

It doesn't even have sex and the MC can't get his dick hard. But no, it's not an NTR game.

No Sir, and according to Ocean never will have.
I literally posted a theory about that this very morning.Do we have a theory how many years MC was gone? Previous to chapter 3 I thought it was 3-4 years, but now with prison + being together with Miru for 5 years (assuming they didn't meet before/during prison)...
