As a player of both these games and also all the others name bombed here, I have to say a few things...
The problem, my friend, is that your aggressive advertising has reached the wrong target group. And woe to the developer, whose side you are on, because you are the one who starts throwing shit at the title game of the thread, but the response will not be directed at you, but at the game of the developer you are promoting.
Have you ever seen me write even one negative post in the MyDorm thread? Damn even a one fucking post there? Maybe a negative review? But it looks like we're going to talk about our personal preferences, so...
I started the game you praise, skimmed through a couple of scenes, read a few paragraphs, did a yuck, deleted it and moved on. Obviously, many people like it, well, good for them, why would I spoil their fun and mood with my negativity. But for some reason, in the case of Dream, Ocean and many other good devs, some gentlemen feel unbearable desire to come to their threads and dump a pile there. Must be some weird fetish.
1- A game is WAY more than pretty visuals (Don't even begin to talk about quality if you don't know what you are saying).
Orly? But somehow I'm not convinced. The visuals are just as important as the story. Otherwise, why even bother with such a complex format as AVN. Just write a novel with a few illustrations or a fucking comics. For me, AVN is a mixture of film, novel, computer game and comics. These are the hallmarks of the genre. I can read a book on my Kindle without having to download gigabytes of bad graphics. Or, even better, listen in audio format without breaking my eyes. So please, don't even try to sell me idea that pretty visuals in AVN matter less than a story.
2- A game that updates regularly in a short time is better than one that doesn't. You don't eat 4x a year.
I'd rather eat a good medium-rare steak four times a year than a huge bowl full of pemmican every month. But I don't judge other people's tastes.
3- A game that gives freedom to players, is a LOT better than one that doesn't. None of the games you mentioned are anywhere near what is done in My Dorm. They are not even in the same category, much less level.
Thanks, but I'm a little tired of dating sims. And this freedom is as virtual as the pixel girls on the screen. Your freedom is measured by the number of pre-rendered images the developer has put into the game. When you have seen all the images, your freedom ends there. Unless these images are generated on the fly. But they don't, as far as I know. So I'd rather watch a good movie-like AVN if you don't mind.
4- A game without content, however pretty the stills, is a very small game. None of the games you mentioned can light a candle near what My Dorm has.
Again, the wrong target group. I've seen dozens of renders in MD and read a few paragraphs of the "story". Thanks, not convinced. Next AVN, please.
5- No, My Dorm is nowhere near any of those. It is not even in the same fucking galaxy when they haven't even left the ground to "tell a story" that they haven't even started.
Totally agree with you about the different fucking galaxies. And everything could be fine, we could live in peace. But you arachnids are still throwing asteroids at us earthlings.
6- Visuals without a good solid story is nothing. Nothing. BT has almost no story. SG has, finally. SH has this been updated this year even? If it was I forgot about it.
Visuals without a good story are still a fap material. Have you forgot: "this is porn site, if you want a story, go read a book, yada yada."
Jokes aside, stories are different, and I don’t understand why, for example, a dark melodrama is somehow worse than an action movie or a comedy or some super-twisted detective story.
Of course, BT has a plot, it’s just a story at the very beginning, that’s all. But it works great with excellent graphics, fitting soundtrack and appealing characters.
