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...

I freaky love this version way more and Miru might one of the most beautiful models I’ve seen in a long time. Full in on the Porn/Sharing/NTR route.

I’ve never played Summer’s gone, does it have any NTR?

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)? :p

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

I literally posted a theory about that this very morning.

Why can't summer's gone have this much sex scenes in it :unsure:
Because it's all carefully calibrated. MC will:


1. start by jerking into a sock while watching a cable porn channel in his bedroom, before get caught by Nojiko.

2. stick his penis into a warm apple pie to know what 4th base feels like, but have Nick come home early and catch him.

3. jerk off to a porno video while using superglue as lube. Officer Ceril will arrive and arrange his trip to hospital.

4. have Nami stick a trumpet up his ass, as she coaches him for his first big date with [insert name of your fav LI here]

5. finally have drunken sex with the one LI or side character he wasn't really interested in.
Big /S.

As for WIAB, were the first Miru sex scene animations in chapter 1 new? It's been so long since playing, I don't recall them being there. The animations were excellent, top notch (other than Miru's spit looking like glass).

'loved that comment between Leia and the MC about Donna - an Easter egg reference to the original WIAB perhaps?

MC: "So... there was this girl... She picked me up on the way to the house."

Leia: "And the next thing she knew she was pregnant?"

MC: "No."

Around 10 years. If I am not mistaken it's said somewhere in game.

IDK. Said it before and I'll say it again - as much as I enjoy the story, having a year or more pass between updates is pretty shitty. Seems that kinda time would be better used to just focus on Summers Gone (or vise versa) to get the game updated in a semi decent timeframe as opposed to having 2 games with yearly updates almost.
Yup. I just finished downloading the new update, booted it up, found that the saves are gone due to RenPy version update (which this one in particular is not his fault), started a new game just to close it again.

I don't want to play and finish this update then have to wait a whole nother year for the next one. I already forgot most shit that happened last chapter, so I just exited the game thinking I'll just play it when there are more updates or closer to the finish line so the wait can be less agonizing.

I don't remember the old Katie super well, she was similar, but I feel like this one is better.

There's always this air of flirting whenever they're together, and the line being danced between (joking about being mean/obviously having feelings for each other) trends much more towards the latter.

I mean what did she do that was so wrong in the old one? I genuinely don't remember. In this one, the things I've seen posters complain about like Miru telling her MC wanted her, those are just bizarre complaints - those are clearly joksey flirting comments between them all, and if this didnt have a snails pace development, MC, Miru and Katie would be having a big ol fuckfest already.
The whole thing with Miru is in this new version when the MC goes to the gym with Miru he sees a cute girl and Miru ask if the MC would have sex with that girl, only to be revealed a bit later that its actually Katie, fast forward to the latest chapter Miru reveal that information in front of the MCs family, which some deem offensive for her to tattletale on him, I mean personally it fit her playful teasing personality, and its not particularly offensive, I guess people expect that their partner shouldn't reveal amusing slightly humiliating facts about their partner to the family of said partner.
