At the same time, the game is trying to be everything, to the point where it’s pulling itself apart. It’s an open world, but interactions are incredibly linear; it’s a fuck-a-thon, but wants you to get attached to specific characters; it’s an adventure game, but it gates a lot of content behind its half-baked combat system.
Why do we hate Quintillus as a companion again?
Personally, I don’t like him because he’s: a) a guy; b) an attention-whore; c) supercilious as shit; d) touching or trying to touch women I’m not interested in him touching.
This about says it right here, but also like... People went into this game expecting something inspired by the first game. Some kind of element to look at and trace back to its CoC1 origins. Unfortunately, most if not all of what's left from CoC1 is vestigial at best. Corruption mechanic? Yeah, we have it but does it really change anything? Transformations? Got that too, but only for you -and- it doesn't really change anything. Perks that can affect your entire playstyle (a la Ceraph's piercings)? Kiiiinda, but it doesn't really?
Cause he corrupts your party if you are so stupid of trying to mediate and this gets subtones of cucking which feels bad again cause you are punished for being nice. If I will loose my save again I will this time tell him to fuck off instead of recruiting him.
This isn't some "perspective" thing. This game pinned itself as a sequel/spiritual successor of two games and jacks up that particular aspect.
NGL, I didn't really know it's something they acknowledge that much. I wonder why they bring so much attention to it if it's not something they want to expand upon. At this point, make an entire freaking faction called Dedickers who are designed to help to Kassyra's victims who grew a cock after her fly-by-through.
TBH, I don't think it would, as there are some franchises that did that, like Yakuza for example. But there people really complain because at the end of the day - the core of the game is still Yakuza. CoC2 could have been made on GZDoom and be an FPS that goes into text adventure at some moments, I don't think it would be a problem if it was a TRUE successor to the original.
First of all, thank you immensely for providing a detailed response with specific examples of issues and the difference in approach between 2 games. As a person who is interested in making a porn game myself, it really helps to see something like this.
Its only one futa character that have such problem. But its story important character, this adds to disconnection. Most of the futas there are futas that nobody question, in a 'wait what? why do you have pp?' way.
Truly? His content sorta sucks. His scenes are lackluster, his talks make my eyes glaze over, (for me personally) he's a dude that's not Berwyn, he's got no internal progression, he's got no real quest progression, and most of the things that involve him is Cait-esque imposing into locations not needed as opposed to staying in the containment zone that is his character menu.
I take issue with this specifically, for two reasons.
Fair points, honestly. I guess maybe it would be more accurate to say that it would allow CoC2 avoid some complains and comparisons with OG game, but clearly not all problems, as illustrated by people having similar issues with TiTs. And I do have to admit that despite those problems. it's... hard to say that CoC2 is unplayable or downright awful. I mean, the game has a LOT of well written scenes that are enhanced by the primary gameplay loop and despite some bad moments, it's rather difficult to say if they outweigh the positives.
where?
Skyrim has the advantage that you can go anywhere and start almost any questline without prior requirements. CoC2 requires you to go through its lengthy and ever-expanding main quest(s) in order to even access upwards of 90% of the regions and characters.
Won't let me bugger him. What's the point of a twink ass like him if I can't have that bussy? Also his new art moves him more out of my strike zone.
This games also on Steam, where it has around 1300 reviews, as opposed to here which has....64. Even with 'heavy censorship' that's an enormous gulf in gathered opinion.
"Advantage"
I just double checked, and steam requires you to purchase a game before you are allowed to review it.
I mean...yeah? You have to buy a game to review it. The people who played the game reviewed what they thought of it. There's obviously more people who played it that didn't pay for the game, but it still provides the biggest sample size of reviews we have, literally 20 times bigger than this one.
I disagree. The one similarity I do remember were complaints about there being "too" many futas (there's not).
