I mean that's fine, and I get where you guys are coming from, but it just seemed like you all just hated the game and the devs and just are here out of some weird sunk cost fallacy. That's really the only reason I came in here and asked that. Wasn't my intention to start shit, I was just genuinely curious why people kept up with the game while constantly shitting on it and not seeing much praise(if any, I don't bother checking this thread often enough to know). I wasn't necessarily trying to complain about your complaints, just trying to offer my viewpoint and ask about yours to understand YOUR viewpoint. I get the same way about Kingdom Hearts so I definitely get it now, it just didn't really click with me when I read through everybody's posts though. Thank you for elaborating, even if you didn't explicitly mean to help me understand.
The reason I ask in the first place is because I like understanding why people do things and I'm retarded enough to not know until they specifically tell me. Even if it's just an emotional reaction that doesn't have much reason or logic behind it, I still like to hear the thought process behind the person themself.
Again, apologies if it just seemed like I was here to defend the game or stir shit up, that wasn't my goal at all. I probably could've worded my post better but everything's 20/20 with hindsight. Was just curious about the heated discussions since you don't really see this kind of thing from a porn game of all things. If you don't believe me and just think this is a way of exiting the conversation, that's also fine. Can't really make you think otherwise. Have a good day everybody.
Personally, I find it valuable to examine and critique writing while hearing about other's opinions about said writing. And let's be frank here: most porn game writing sucks, so when a porn game comes along that has decent writing (most of the time) it's going to come under more scrutiny simply because of how little there is out there. And with the writers being so public with their personal beliefs, it's easy to get frustrated with the game because you can see how good it
could be if the writers weren't a mess of issues.
Though speaking of analysis, CoC 2 is such a fascinating topic to examine! It's obviously meant to be sex positive, considering how casual most of the sex is in the game and how willing everyone is. But then it takes it too far and thinks that sex positivity means 'everything sexual is fine.' Which leads to characters like Cait, who the game obviously wants you to view as some strange catgirl turboslut saint, when other's have rightfully pointed out that she's a member of a sex cult who raise children to be prostitutes, and who are exposed to sex at a very young age (which is
not good for having a healthy childhood, let me tell you.) And I say that as someone who loves turboslut catgirls.
It would be one thing if it was just a fantasy 'fuck everyone who's willing' thing, but it has lore and worldbuilting and plot, so you can't just brush stuff like that under the rug. And this isn't a problem of combining porn and typical fantasy writing, I think you can combine the two but you have to be careful not to create the exact problems CoC 2 has. Throw in the problem where the writers put their kinks in so many situations (in a game which supposedly lets you choose which content you want to do) that it feels like the game is pushing you to do something you're not comfortable with (cough cough dickgirls and horsecocks cough cough), and you have a recipe for a game that could be fantastic but isn't. And I think it's important to look at what works and what doesn't, even just for the sake of engaging and critically thinking about something.
