Supplemental: Replayed the game ignoring Sara, Carol, Yuki and Ashley, as well as Roxy and Rachael.
I HAD NO LUST score when I was in Hospital and could have banged the nurse.. and no lust score when I was with Natalie for the one on one naked Yoga, and missed out a scene.
I also never got to meet Nikki, who was just 'Girl' the rest of the game.
I got some extra scenes with Kim, because I investigated the Porn Studio, but not much.
That path gave me Lexi... but not much.
I ONLY GOT ONE EXTRA SCENE with Natalie after all that, and an extra BJ. I did not even get to slip her it again. I mean, where's her An*l Full Nelson moment, her sister has like four? But nope, she takes a ride on the bench press... all the while I am anticipating the Mallory Natalie Me threesome will make up for it... and ... NO... nothing. Nada. Zip.
Oh, did I mention that then HARD LOCKED ME OUT OF ALL THE OTHER GIRLS? I could not reply to their texts, because I missed the window I guess.
The game ended with me eating a burrito with Lexi on a park bench, not even getting anything more spicy.
This game feels like it is forcing one of two options:
A) You get a lot of action... but are forced in Romances with the girls.
B) Stick to the NON Romance girls... and get F all from them, for your efforts.
I know there is a choice to JUST be Friends with Sara... but there was NO choices like that for ANY other girls in my first playthrough. And no FWB choices either.
What is the point?
It feels wrong, like you can have all the s*x you want.. and this game will be HEAVY on it... but ONLY if you get in to deep relationships.... OR if you chose another option, which is given... get a shorter game, with WAY LESS of the A part of an AVN... almost as if the dev PUSHING you down one path.
I want to love this game... the story is pretty good... the characters have a bit of depth, the models are hot, and the scenes are FANTASTIC compared to MOST games of this Genre.....
...but being punished for just wanting to build a Harem, and being coerced towards some stupid Romance Sim BS if I want the depth the game has to offer, really makes that impossible.
This game SHOULD have the SAME amount of content, both story and s*x scenes.... for the NON ROMANCE girls and pathway, as the Romance. I played for like 10 hours+ my first playthrough trying to be a player, romancing the main dorm dolls plus Rachel and Roxy.. and that would have been MORE had I gone the Porn Studio path first time around.... but this time, playing with the aim of just having my Natalie (and hopefully Mallory), Kim and Lexi harem,... it took me just TWO hours. Ok, I tuned down Sasha, because I until *I* can Dom HER, I am done with that tart...but even adding THOSE in, what, three hours?
The game is about a quarter as long as it is if you play the other way, and get involved with the women who lock you in to Love. That tells me that the game was NEVER MEANT to be played that way. As I say to all Devs when this is the case, as this is NOT the first AVN I have come across like this... WHY BOTHER THEN?
Dont offer a casual f*ck buddy route, and dangle Harem potential... just say this is a ROMANCE novel, with some Lewdness, and be done. \
Changed my rating to 1/5
