It's more like they're hard to do properly in an AVN.
For instance, if Shani dies the game can't continue on with that in mind. You'd have to make an entire game's worth of alternative just for that choice (story continuing without Shani -or Z-, people reacting to that, all scenes featuring her to have alternatives, etc.). For all intents and purposes, not feasible.

The other option is to go "GG, just reload" but even that I feel has to be something more than a "You died" screen a la Dark Souls. It should have some aftermath or conclusion, so it at least feels remotely impactful.

TL;DR, no inherent aversion to bad endings, they just need a certain amount of investment to be done properly.
I would have been satisfied with a few renders of old granny Shani finding out that the few days she choose to stay were actually decades and she dies of old age like some weird time warp shenanigans that can be accomplished with anomalies with a Zone like setup. I wouldn't even mind seeing the game over screen and having to reload a save, which was made right at the choice because I was genuinely curious if it was going there, but alas, it wasn't. It would just be refreshing to have a "Oh shit, I guess I do have to be careful in the zone" kind of moment.

There is no pleasing them... Any game that isn't a Chad Simulator is an immediate turn off for some of these guys. So they just shit on the game wholesale because there is an AVOIDABLE kink they don't like.
"Chad". Such a stupid term. And considering how self-proclaimed chads act, I prefer my term for them. Hanging Chads. Cause they are just as useful as one in an election. Amazing how these 'manly chads' are always such delicate babies.

Despite being beta, I encounterd no bugs or missing images.

And i don't understand the warmongering about the sharing contend. If don't want to see some a scene i don't enforce it, like that Igor stuff.

How someone can complain about the length of the updated(s) is bevond me. It has easy 1.5 to 2.0 hours of gameplay/dialogs.
If some players to decide ctrl all it's clear the the update seems lackluster...

when Shani met Julia for the first time, I hoped the apprentice would bring the girl to her master as a token of apprecation, kinda like a cut from her finding on her first solo mission.

:PogChamp:I have read the latest reviews and seriously I find it pitiful that after playing and enjoying the game. There are always some who come back here and complain, yes complain that they finished the new version in 5min. You don't imagine what it's like to make a game, but make your own and prove that you can go faster and then share your new method. And if not, I make you to those who come here to complain after each new upload :FacePalm:.

If you look at the patreaon of Zetan you have a solution for uploads to come faster, just read it :geek: :

€4,197.09 of €5,000 per month

I have a few very kind volunteers that help me with the game and I want to make it more "official". Reaching this goal will allow me to give at least something back on a regular basis and slowly build an actual team.
2 of 2

:rolleyes::unsure:Participate in the donation and there at the same time you will have what you want with faster or bigger upload and you will stop coming here crying every time.:cry::cry::cry:

Thank you and kisses to your mom from me.:whistle:(y):love:

Talking about the raider sisters. I personally found the Kitty scene more or less...
... meeh...

Despite the similiarity of the scene with the raider sisters and the Kitty scene, the raider scene was much hotter than the scene with Kitty. Well, it seems the scene was just to rapy for my taste - not my cup of tea... I know, the setting is post apocalytic and rape is no stranger in the story, if I think back to the prisoner/kidnapper that was a little better done than the Kitty scene.

No offense, just my opinion.

You're overcomplicating things. A bad ending can be five renders with some text explanation. You don't have to explain every single character fate in that scenario.
In example, Zaton was caught by decayed and turned into a happy meal. Add a couple of renders with some decayed cooking Zaton and it's done.

yes, that's why I clarify that in all its forms and expressions. but yes, it has nothing of NTR. it's swinging. don't tell the others in the cult. they will burn me in the square for heresy ;C
Whatever that is or are, you did it to yourself because you chosed the option that results in such contents.

Well, I think the rape scene is for the most hardcore or depraved Zatons. You can choose to help Kitty removing her blindfold and make out a bit with her just to mess with the dude.
That's one of the selling points of Desert Stalker, replayability.

My playthrough at Igor's house had all 3 girls with Zaton and no NTR. The only time I remember sharing coming up is when Igor visited Zaton's house a long time ago and I made the choice not to have sharing content. Besides that it's all Zaton being a chad and taking all the girls.

Really liked the expanded lore with Ivy/Yuna in this update (a lot of good backstory).

In terms of spending the night at her place, what choice did you all choose when you spotted her outside by the lake, in the water?

For me, I chose "Stay" (instead of "leave her be"), watched her get out of the lake, and chose "That's enough." instead of "watch a bit longer" resulting in this screen):

Though given her eyes still remains green, not sure whether this will have any affect in terms of Ivy/Yuna's stats in the game (good decision? bad decision?).


And I'm getting the strong feeling Sonmi is the elf girl Shani encounters in the zone. Just feels like too much for it to be just a coincidence.



Scene with Kateryna, Ain, Zahra was good (though I never got those NTR scenes with Zahra as some are mentioning), but damn, that rooftop scene with Zahra[/OSPOILER] was just.....lovely. Despite not being as explicit as other scenes, the background and Zahra's dress added a lot to the immersion.

In terms of Raiders' content? Meh.
General was annoying so with this update, at least we won't see him any longer, so that's good.
But that Kitty scene as Mortarion said above felt a bit too rapy.
