Captain's Log day 1423525
Crew alerted me of an ancient treasure unearthed this morning in the temples of Tits-galoria, upon further inspection, we've determined it is indeed a rare mystical LOP game, finally escaping the Berlin-esque wall set-up to keep the goods away.
Oh what wonders they must have stored and kept away from us all! Oh what marvels they must have- uh....eh....
...Yeah...Kinda like finding the ancient treasure at this point after it's long,
long, rotten away, this is very much a product of it's time...Or at least it would have been,
maybe seven years ago.
LOP is the Great Gatsby of adult gaming.
By that I mean, it's developers constantly like the titular character, find themselves looking back to the past, unable to move on and live in the present, (let alone see the future).
LOP for many of us, myself included was a defining part of the adult gaming experience. I still have fond memories of playing LWT and the first Eleanor. For many years, they helped revolutionize the adult gaming world into what it is today, and set the water mark for other devs to one day surpass.
And boy oh boy, have other devs surpassed that watermark by now.
LOP has decided not to move forward with the times despite the bar being raised
so much higher. The game follows the same tired formula to the letter, and is filled with the usual grind that's synonymous by now with LOP games.
Scenes happen with little build-up, and the game by design is meant for multiple repeated playthroughs to experience everything. However, the thought of playing through and grinding 1+ hour for one possible small scene in this day and age makes my head spin.
With so many great games coming out, this game out of the gate feels like a fossil from a by-gone era that should have been placed into a museum.
Maybe one day, the devs will wake up, eyes wide to the changing world around them and realize how far they've fallen behind.
Maybe one day, LOP will rise again and blow us away with the next revolutionary game.
Somehow though,
I doubt it.
This is your Captain, signing off.
