So a lot of games that were listed were sub-optimal. The appeal for many of those is a different take on some particular aspect of AVN, but a lot is just the same ho-hum swill that fills the halls of this hallowed establishment. Absolutely no bad intent intended by saying that. Just a fact.
That said there are quite a few games, some were mentioned, that I think are more deserving of praise, and some were not even mentioned. WVM though.... OMG. WTF?
Timestamps. Pretty much a high bar that I do not think DPC has met on story. Renders are great for Timestamps also. Was not even mentioned. Can replay many times. Has kinks and pleasures not explored much of anywhere else... and some great characters. A better Quinn than Quinn even.
A.O.A. I think it has a lot of potential. The girls are appealing, but it is a long way from BaDIK
Heavy Five was not mentioned. It won so many awards this year it is crazy, and it is a much better, albeit very different story, with lots of replay. Notty is a genius.
Leap of Faith, fabulous story, fabulous main character which DPC certainly does NOT have in either of his stories, great wingman, which DPC is a master of. Renders are good, Animations are Good. Those are points where DPC outshines just about everyone though.
Rebirth-Far better story. Renders are good. No animations. But the story is much better.
Alexandra- again great AVN. Not quite DPC level of renders but story is better.
Become a Rockstar..... well..... I like it... not sure it reaches any of the plateaus needed... but I like it.
Sadly abandoned but still fucking great for the genre is The Gift Reloaded.
Light of my Life.... in places heavy..in others hilarious... Renders are unique and in that regard I like that, and feel like that represents some next level talent.
Sisterly Lust.......It does what that fuck ICSTOR will never do, and it does it so much better. I like the story, and IF I had hot relatives I might consider doing exactly that.. As it is, mine are old and shriveled lol.
City of Broken Dreamers is pretty awesome. Not sure I could do multiple plays tho.... Story and Renders and all are top notch.
Depraved Awakening is a great story.... good renders.
BaDIK sets a very high bar for artwork and animations. The bar for story is much lower, but at times entertaining, and as long as DPC behaves himself, it will be enough of a story to allow his artwork to carry this game to great heights, but that is what will do the lifting, because the story doesn't do it.
Peace
