First time I ever played this, I went the cheating route because I want to bone everyone in sight as soon as possible, but the story made that feel awful, and also pointless. I stopped around the time that Jaimie gave the green light for fucking anything and everything that moves and played the game without cheating, and quite enjoyed it.
Tried the cheating route again for this update just to make sure there wasn't something I'm missing--and while there are technically a few women that get skipped, seeing some of them pop up in the story anyway leads me to believe that we'll get around to those anyway. So I still don't see a point in cheating. Plus, Shauna regretting going too fast in the beginning kills the entire fun out of cheating with her in the first place, in fact I'd much prefer to avoid that conversation. So apparently I want to be a "good guy" in this one. Sort of. The main character still says some things that are too good for my taste. Some people need their eyes eaten out of their skull and the MC is just too nice to admit that sometimes.
Never liked the Natalie makeover, but it wasn't a big deal. I only slightly preferred the old look. Rainn deciding she doesn't want to walk around in those cool-ass contacts and nose ring all the time is a tragedy, I really like the look. I am not a fan of the Ruby redesign, I thought she looked really cool before and now she's just ok.
I love the way Willabelle looks, especially her eyes. I'm going to cry if that ever gets changed. I could have sworn there was a sex scene with Tia on the non-cheating route a lot sooner than the party, but it could be my imagination. I mean, it has been awhile.
I have mixed feelings about Millie; Oh she pisses me off. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's someone who tries to control full-grown adults while projecting their own problems and what they would have wanted for themselves. On the other hand, holy shit Millie is hot. So I'll give her a chance.
Who's the heavy chick that's into jogging and super-shy? Was her name Carly? I like her. I think she's hot. I'm not one of those people that are so into body positivity that I'll argue against a morbidly obese person losing weight just because I think they're cute. People like that do exist but in those cases I don't think the weight's actually a factor and a person really should strive to be a lot healthier than that, but honestly I don't think Carly is anywhere close to that category. Will she look better if she loses weight, or will she lose her fabulous curves? I have no idea, but I hope she isn't just losing the weight just because of looks because in that department she's fine.
Thought of a solution for the fact that I find Willow/Cedar hot and don't like having prohibited girls in a VN: I an going to PRETEND. Problem solved!
That last-minute BS news thing with that "Tip" prick really got me riled up. What was the team called, the Briars? I hope MC gets out on that court and eats that arrogant basketball player's eyes out of his fucking sku--I mean, I hope he gets out there and kicks their asses. In Basketball. And not at all with violence.
