Acting Lessons hits everyone in the guts hard when they first play it. I've been at it for almost two years now, and it still stings every so often.
I totally respect that others have different experiences, but am I the only one who wasn't absolutely devastated by the fire? I mean, sure, the choice (or non-choice) sucks, but it didn't ruin my day or playthrough, so to speak.
I know some players that didn't give a shit about the fire. I know some, like me, were whimpering under the covers for a few days. It hits everyone their own way.
I'm glad to hear I'm not alone, although I wouldn't go so far as saying I didn't care at all. To each their own experience.I know some players that didn't give a shit about the fire. I know some, like me, were whimpering under the covers for a few days. It hits everyone their own way.
By the moment I got to the fire in my first playthrough, I was already "out" of the game due to my MC acting against my will and choices made so far, so it was more a sarcastic laugh like 'come on, what now' thing. I guess people who played with the threesome option in mind can feel more affected by it, as well as those extremely sensitive ones who tend to fully invest themselves on stories. Then I'll admit all the mourning part is relatively well depicted and there are some powerful scenes, but from that point onwards is not a game anymore and even the sex scenes seemed out of place to me (not to mention the final plot twist and the intended moral lesson, which is a big no-no for me). So yeah, not at all the overwhelming cathartic thing most people seem to experienceI'm glad to hear I'm not alone, although I wouldn't go so far as saying I didn't care at all.

Certainly hit me right in the tear ducts (and did so in each of the following three runs), but didn't have too much of an impact on my sleep or life otherwise - other than being a memorable emotional moment of a memorable emotional story that is.
I did
Amen to that. Exactly why the fire was so devastating for me. I was sad prior that moment, but once it happened I literally started crying, no homo or anything. Music also had huge impact on me. Fits perfectly.
It's from the movie _Van Wilder_ originally, I think. DPC has repeatedly stated to be a fan of college comedy film, so it makes sense.
Yup. I've seen the HOTs thing in several games, mostly on cheerleader uniforms (Melody, Milfy City are examples)
Writing / quality wise i'd say it's definitely at least as good. And it's absolutely worth playing.
