Ah, man, this topic should also be banned from discussion at the dinner table, like religion and politicsA common trend I see here are original fans who were attracted to/turned on by playing a psychotic, abusive, manipulative MC in the first incarnation of SG (pitted against an equally psychotic, abusive, manipulative Bella). Many haven't forgiven Ocean for taking their candy away by reworking the game and story.
I can empathize to a point, but not for those who can't move on and mask their disappointment by shitting on Ocean and the reworks in a sea of negativity whenever they can. [...]
Watching Dallas has done some bad things with your mind dudeYeah, I can imagine the F95 riots if Ocean had a future chapter where the MC woke up, walked to the bathroom, and opened the door to see the naked back and ass of a showering woman. The woman slowly turns around in a very Bobby Ewing-esque way. It's Summer. She looks at the MC quizzingly and asks, "Nika, what's the matter?"![]()

Because it is really difficult to find a constructive point on this topic that would satisfy both sides.
Psycho MC initially attracted a lot of people to the game. To deny this would be simply hypocritical. The MC remained like this until the middle of the current season, and then the author changed him drastically. I understand perfectly well that many considered this a cheating, so it turns out that the author lied to them for the half the game? (To be fair, some decisions previously limited or lowered the MC's insanity level and made him more similar to the current default MC.)
And the author has repeatedly explained the reasons for such changes, and has repeatedly drawn attention to the fact that the game is a work in progress, it is not finished, some things may change in the future, and this must be taken into account before starting a game.
Both sides have valid arguments, and both have their reasons for being disappointed in each other. People asked: "Well, Ocean, you want to make the MC softer and saner, okay, but you have already prepared everything for this, these infamous dark and light paths. Let us have our psycho chad we like on the dark path and play with your wuss emo on the light path as much as you want."
But the author answered this too, and with the last chapters we ourselves see that the story is branching out more and more. There are many new storylines unfolding. And adding a dark path on top of all of this would require not only doubling the amount of content, but also exponentially increasing the number of story branches. He just can't handle it. Therefore, he had to make a choice in favor of one of the options, and those who disagreed with his choice became the biggest critics of the game. But again, these are religious wars rather than constructive criticism.
Second-hand smoke or collateral damage, I'm afraid. I wouldn't be caught dead watching Dallas, even more so when I was young. However, it was almost impossible to turn on a TV, read a magazine or newspaper back then and not hear about the infamous shower sceneWatching Dallas has done some bad things with your mind dude![]()
Considering how relatively young Ocean is (around 26), is that a threat? Asking for a friend...I was in my 20s when I saw this game online. I am well into my 30s and this game has turned into more of a novel than an adult game. The author will be dead before he gets half done with this project. Good luck to everyone waiting for season that will be 6 years maybe more. Good luck on the steam release though.

So, didn't play this awesomness for a year and a half. I was about to play that update, but just read that Chapter 5 Full will also feature the rework of Chapter 2's renders, and that saves from the beta won't be portable. Should I wait for full version? Do we know about a timeline for it?
Here is what Ocean said:I would wait even longer:
- Chapter 2 still is very unfinished and has many dead paths (variables for them were removed in the Chapter 1 remake) + there's practically no audio
- Chapter 3 is also unfinished and has lengthy sections with no audio
- Chapter 5 is still "Beta"
I think it's best to wait for the full Episode 1 (chapters 1-5).
At the current pace, finishing chapters 2/3/5 will still take a year or so.
"Remember that time I made you impotent? Well, here's my comatose sister." Is that how Bella is going to finally break the news? Just open the door and have them meet that way? I get the reveal was a plot twist, but her scenario makes zero sense. You couldn't even be friends with someone if you had to worry about outbursts, triggered from a picture inquiry. Yet I'm supposed to believe they'd make out like horny teenagers before talking about that?Addressed by who, though, Nika? Her friends? Bella herself?
And true, Bella talks fondly of Nika both if she's fooling around with him or if she's in friendly terms with him (Haven't tested a playthrough where he threats her, though). Bella suffers from what I call the 'beaten dog syndrome': A dog that has been abused in the past will bark and sometimes even bite any human that approaches them after they're rescued, and it takes some time for them to heal enough to overcome the trauma and allow contact.
I don't believe she's a true psycopath, cause we can see different scenarios where she feels empathy and compassion (Like you mentioned, feeling bad about Brenda, feeling protective of her shorty rude friend, recognizing and complimenting people when she knows they're nice, caring about Nika after his fight with Sai, reassuring him that taking therapy with her mum will help him, etc).
But sadly, people know her for her outbursts and how her behavior changed (the beaten dog) after Melanie Ceril bullied her, cause there's when she started to viciously attack people like Mila in such way that people started to recognize her for that, and that's why Jeff warns us about her. Hell, she gets so mad at you over such a small thing that she ends up hurting Nika during a match, and even her own mum thought she had beaten Nika and immediately scolded her.
I don't want to ruin your enthusiasm, but there is a little problem here. Bella's sister, like Amber, Claire and Bella too is blonde, Summer, on the other hand is dark brown. And MC would probably recognize Summer, if she was on the picture, in Bella's room."Remember that time I made you impotent? Well, here's my comatose sister." Is that how Bella is going to finally break the news? Just open the door and have them meet that way? I get the reveal was a plot twist, but her scenario makes zero sense. You couldn't even be friends with someone if you had to worry about outbursts, triggered from a picture inquiry. Yet I'm supposed to believe they'd make out like horny teenagers before talking about that?That's one of the biggest reasons why I denied her in most of my playthroughs. It's a recipe for disaster going after her.
Nami and Vic kinda confirmed this at the movie night in ch4.5.My guess is who the girls are who are still virgins.
1. Nami
2. Victoria (because she looks innocent)
3. Sasha (judging from her response regarding sexual relations discussed in the book club)

As for Nami, it has been confirmed that she is still a virgin. Meanwhile, Vic, apart from the kissing scene and breast squeezing, still doesn't seem to know much about sexual matters, like when he put a vebrator on the MC's face.Nami and Vic kinda confirmed this at the movie night in ch4.5.
Maybe Bella is still a virgin to dik, but not to dildosBoy I don't really care about Bella V status but is going to shatter some people fantasy about the Queen bee.

Ah, you nasty Bella fanAs for Nami, it has been confirmed that she is still a virgin. Meanwhile, Vic, apart from the kissing scene and breast squeezing, still doesn't seem to know much about sexual matters, like when he put a vebrator on the MC's face.
just my opinion.
MadnessNami and Vic kinda confirmed this at the movie night in ch4.5.
Nami is a highly educated girl in this discipline and is well trained. Do you think she only asked Vanessa about anal toys out of pure curiosity?Madness
Ocean is going to give us Nika and Nami first time as both virgins. Boy I do hope so.
