Feedback thread for part 6 hasn’t been posted yet so I’ll place this here until it does go up.



I really, really, really wanted to love this scene. I find myself sincerely sorry to say that the latest Sorority Hookup installment has proven a real disappointment after so much buildup, hope, and expectation in my head. I share (alongside one of the VR community’s most prominent and respected members) a love and constant wish for scenes that feature three, four, and if our shared utopia were ever to be realized, ten or twelve gorgeous young nubiles, all of whom are competing for attention from the one man in the scene. We also care about feeling immersed, so such a fantasy needs to feel like it’s plausible and therefore desired settings might include an all-girl school, a yoga class, a sorority, a girls locker-room, backstage after a concert where the bouncer only lets the hottest female fans through with a P-pass to meet the rock-star, etc, etc, etc.



One key to immersion (as another member I’ve been debating quite a bit lately regularly points out) is good eye contact, facial expression, and believable dialogue. The other key comes down to technicalities — camera placement, angles, and proximity to girls throughout the scene. I will refrain from naming studios, but one European studio out there has absolutely got it down with the technicalities, the female talent, and the direction. A second studio is slowly getting there although the sheer number of multi-girl scenes they release allows them to iteratively improve, I’m just not a big fan of a lot the the talent they use — but again that’s me.



VRB has made such strides lately in picture quality, lighting, and casting such stunning girls, I was just so excited that putting together this scene was going to prove a home-run. Sadly the story here ended up getting too much in the way of the immersive acting and technical excellence to pull off that story and achieve a true VR presence. I fully acknowledge that creating a 3D harem fantasy that sweeps the viewer completely in is really, really hard and I’m sure it’s very expensive too. I’m thankful that VRB is trying to do it and I really hope you guys will keep trying. I loved looking at these girls, all of them are incredibly beautiful, but I finally had to turn the volume down because their improvised dialogue wasn’t very believable, and they just never got in there to make the kind of group eye contact and facial expressions that overwhelms the viewer with pleasure. With a harem, the viewer hopes to be torn as to where he should feast his eyes throughout the scene — it just didn’t happen here.



I agree with Valzod that these scene cuts with the position titles and suggested viewing angles just breaks immersion completely — that needs to stop. Those of us smart enough to figure out how to view VR don’t need this further instruction. Finally the camera angles (particularly during final cowgirl scene) just didn’t feel right. g2kbuffetboy is an expert on what can go wrong here, and what can be done to improve it. I feel like VRB gets this right on 1:1 and 2:1 scenes often enough, so I was surprised it was so off for this scene.



I hate to provide a bad review — like I said I really wanted this scene to be a game-changer. I hope the feedback will be seen as useful nonetheless, and I look forward to hearing what my friend g2kbuffetboy has to say as well. Valzod, we’ve been at odds lately – I’m sorry about that. I hope you will refrain from a lot of I told you so. Those of us that fantasize for a group of girls are still here, and the settings we hope for do make sense in that particular context. You are right about this particular attempt to create that though.



A safe and happy 4th to everyone.
