VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.7.5 Public] [Caribdis]

[Dorfnutter]

This is a good example of pointless text, why she is explaining something to me(that is no precise btw) and I(the player) has to read? you can resume this with 1 line of text
Also, this is a early retcon, since Anne character said that you cant record the game because isnt really a game, or dint function like one

She overexplains computer processes as if the person listening to her understands when they don't. It's a part of her character being awkward and not used to social interaction.

Also, everything that she said in that spiel has been verified to not be complete bullshit by some computer techies in this thread, so it's likely that Cari consulted/asked around to make that dialogue sound authentic.

Also, not being able to record anything about the game and showing a hacker claiming she can hack the game to open a path to an inaccessible server don't contradict one another and thus not a retcon.

Bro you have the right to complain as many times as you want, the same way that others have the right to question your opinions. This isn't people being sentimental, it's a discussion.

Yeah, but iam right, this game has a lot of things that dont make sense, and people talks like is a masterpiece, where is the between?
Gonna finish the game first, since it seems to get worse
I hope the dev dont get mad at me, it is his work afterall, but i dont think is that good, graphics matter most than graphics IMO

Can confirm. Worked for Cisco for a decade & all the stuff she mentions are real things that more-or-less do what she implies they're doing.

You are allowed to complain just as we are allowed to point out issues regarding your complaints if there are any. This is a discussion thread for the game, so of course we're going to discuss shit.

Yeah, but iam right, this game has a lot of things that dont make sense, and people talks like is a masterpiece, where is the between?

Because what doesn't make sense to you makes sense to other readers? Like a hacker babbling about programming bullshit shows that the person knows her shit while also establishing that she has no clue how to simplify that to the common normie and is quite an awkward person. It's "show, don't tell" in its basic form, and yet you're saying it's pointless.

Also, yes, from a narrative perspective there's going to be some shit about the VRMMO that won't make sense (i.e. not being able to record while playing, people dying in the real world after being excommunicated) because that's the point: the story is designed like a mystery novel. You are encouraged to theorize as new information pops up as the story goes and things that were established suddenly becomes questionable as they unravel over time.

Also, blind praise aside, this game is often praised (or criticized) for the sum of its parts rather than just a singular thing: Orion (MC) not being a complete pushover and has actual strengths and flaws, the heroines, the visuals (which as of now are unmatched amongst all of the HS2 AVNs that currently exist and are only rivaled by HS1 AVNs like Pale Carnations), the narrative, the way the game encourages you to theorize what's gonna happen next, the humor, the variety of settings there are simply because of its nature as a Ready Player One-esque MMO...

Also, part of that praise is from those who had played the dev's old game and have seen how much of a damn improvement this game is from that one. It's like the dev took every lesson learned and criticism thrown at him from that game to heart and it shows.

So yeah, it's not as if the praise didn't come from nowhere.

You can complain what you want, everyone is free to do so. This is a thread to discuss the game after all. People will only get bothered if someone is actively doing a detailed search of issues in game just to bother the dev and their fans. While I don't agree at all with your points, you're still being respectful.

Just a side comment since you touched the topic, I don't understand why some people really have that need for those crusades in finding bad points in game. Every game simply isn't for everyone of course, but I don't see the point of continuously pointing out here and there what you don't like about the a game.

And this thread and people around here are actually pretty chill (way too much to the point of mods being around here to clean Off-topic), and you don't get rude answers for criticism (to a certain extent I guess), but trust me that there are other threads around these forums way more negative, where to the slightiest criticism people start to bash out everything you say, even with best intentions. It's unfortunate, but that's what he get when some people keep doing the "crusades". Maybe is on purpose, I have no idea.

Just enjoy the game, if you like it cool, if you don't then also cool. You're free to do any criticism, except about Penny you hear me? If I see you saying anything wrong rude about Penny there will be consequences.

You gave him food for thought to find a reason to hate Penny. now you wait for an answer from an expert, all the shortcomings of Penny!

Penny is a bimbo. There is her short cummings.

It took her a good while to cum both times she's been with Orion, so I don't think there are any short cummings to be found.

Gonna finish the game first, since it seems to get worse

If all the words and character development aren't really your speed, you may want to try something other than an AVN. Maybe animations. Check out the forum section dedicated to them.
If you'd rather not, allow me to spare you the chore of going through all that cumbersome text by summarizing the relevant bits of the game:

[playernamehere]
-- Hi, I'm [playernamehere] and I'm... abou to have sex.
[playernamehere]
-- Yeah, I'm having sex. It's good. Here, look at this slideshow:
(run animations)
[playernamehere]
-- Sex sucessfuly had. GGWP. Oh, and something about Eternum.
The end.

PS: Sorry. Re-reading, that came out a little too snippy, more than intended. I just don't get why you'd criticize a narrative for taking the time to establish characters rather than single-mindedly moving the plot along. Feels like criticizing a song because it's not all chorus, but full of bridges and intros and stuff.

 

[Radish Cruton]

Are you playing the game in English? If so, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that’s your problem - clearly your English proficiency is low, so a lot of things are going over your head, the jokes aren’t landing, you get confused. It doesn’t make for a good experience. I’m surprised you haven’t figured this out, and are instead blaming the game. Certainly if I tried to watch Seven Samurai in Japanese i wouldn’t blame the movie for not making sense, I’d blame my Japanese. But going by your “but iam[sic] right” comment I get the sense there is some arrogance at play here.

I only have two major things with this game, not gamebreaking but a sort of "huh why?" moments. First, he says he lived in the UK and havent experienced School Uniforms? over 90% of the students wear one and it is highly recomended by the educations dpeartments to have one.

The second is, well, he is living in the UK, which of course has adopted the metric system, but in everydays use the people still use the imperial system, the one the US is using too. So why is the guy confused with miles, and why is that "so european" ? I mean the UK is really not that different in these cases as you might think.

You coulkd say that this is "soo american" of the author by being a little bit ignorant about this, and if I read right, the author was making research at least in the computer babbling department, so here , clearely not...
