Talk:High School Story, Book 3/@comment-34465474-20180517094036/@comment-35568572-20180531134854

@Gohondieli You know, not everyone who plays these books is American. My high school experience was completely different. In my country, there is no homecoming, no winter formal, no prom, no pep rallies, no school sports, no school spirit. You just go to school for some hours in the morning and that's eat. Students don't even eat together because there's nothing at school in the afternoon. Not even a library big enough for pupils to study in. So boring.

With these books I had the opportunity to experience all those beautiful American traiditons and to have a really colourful and vibrant experience. Not to mention, that it gave me the possibility not to be a loner but actually be in a circle of friends and have a love interest, do stuff with alll of them. Play sports at each with the team has been awesome as well, while in my country a teenage has to pay monthly fees to a sports association if they want to play any sports and we don't have all that choice at all. There's soccer, soccer, and again soccer. Anything else is just not popular, not to mention poorly-funded because most of the national funds go to soccer. For example, each soccer association gets 1 million euros per month despite them already being rich and wasting money on stuff they don't need, whilst a rugby association - if it survives - only get 1 thousand euros per month. What are you even supposed to do with that? School-funded sports where you get to play with your school peers feel like a very good idea. And I could relate with the other club when Isa decided to redirect and steal funds in Book 2. My MC was in the basketball team but I could feel bad for the band and the cheerleaders, and support them.

If you don't want to experience teen drama, why are you even playing a teenager's story? It's only natural for a teenage story to have different degrees of teenage drama. I'm not interested in going for Prom King either but the MC's impact on the school community has been and still is big enough to want fot his peers to want him as Prom King.

Choices forces a lot of choices you wouldn't make. Many dress and hairstyle option aren't any good. So you are forced to choose the lesser evil between these "options" when they could take a page out of similar companies, and grant us more non-diamond and diamond options to customise our characters. They could also implement a personality system based on some choices they give us, with at least five different personality traits that decide how the story goes. It takes more work, yes, but at least it would live to its name, Choices.
