what do yall honestly think of Thanatos?

View attachment 4387259

Cause honestly for me his character is kinda getting stale and boring already. I get his supposed to be this intimidating and looming threat for Orion and the gang but I'm just at a point where every time he's mentioned or appears on screen I groan and say "ah shit, here we go again" in a disappointed tone. Learning his backstory in that one update was cool and all but he's a one trick pony for me as of now. He just appears, does some OP shit, kill someone (usually Jerry) then dips over and over again. Lastly, idk but the more I see him, he's kinda looking like a bargain bin yoshimitsu cosplay.

Don't know if my take is controversial or not, feel free to roast me if it is but Im just meh to this guy XD

He does his job as a the evil antagonist with a somewhat unknown motivation behind him. I guess at some point we will learn more about him. Right now he is essentially the Darth Vader of the story (Darth Vader from The Last Hope that is). Unbeatable and just egoistic and evil, trying to collect all gems seemingly just to become a kind of god.

And for Orion and the girls it is about growing powerful enough to be able to beat him in the end.

Finally got around to playing the new update, how are people feeling about the

section?

I really enjoyed it in isolation (but I was familiar with and really enjoyed the original game), but I think including it in the pirate server made the already very long story arc too long. I would've moved it to the desert server (Orion drinking some tea at the bazaar or something like that).

 

[Craysser]

I wanna know how he escaped the server where we found Calypso and where we left him. Because I think that might be quite revealing...

there is a trope in anime where "sword that can cut through everything" can have some busted powers depending on imagination of user. so for example cutting through dimensions, cutting cross servers, cutting reality. it feels like a copout plot device but its posibility

Port isn't something you should give to an android. Doesn't go well with their internals.

good joke,

now can someone give the link to the android download/port/mod.

Funfact I discovered when comparing the code from 0.7 and 0.8.
Did you know Alex's coach was a guy before ?

Are you interest of some other change Caribdis made to the dialogue like that ?
Per exemple in 0.7 all the dialogue said "The 10 gems" and in 0.8 that change for "The ten gems".

Everything about Eternum is amazing. The artwork, the animations, the story! this doesn't belong on the standard 5 star rating scale, it's a 10.

what do yall honestly think of Thanatos?

Well, you need a big bad in every story with stakes but Thanatos is not a great big bad.
It jumps between "he's a god!" and "MC could kill him with one arm tied behind his back" too frequently.

I honestly still think he's a metaphor for sweaty powergamers. RGB lighting and all.

 

[Craysser]

thanatos is "on the nose" pay to win nolifer. with fancy cosmetic armour and blade that emits lightning which just screams pay to win. i like how cari used "nolifer" aspect as literal plot twist in the game as it turns out thanatos indeed has no life (he is dead outside the game) And just like how p2w players are divided between rich spoiled brats who waste money on game they never get good at so they look all cool but are still so shit any average player still destroy them, and legit nolifers who spend 24/7 in game, know every combo, every meta, every exploitable glitch... you mix those two together and get thanatos
instead of getting something in between you get something from both extremes

I'm of the same camp. One of the best (if not the best) updates so far for me (even though it wiped 3/4ths of my theory board ).

And yes, I also liked the Stanley Parable section because I thought it was a creative way to showcase Orion's fears while giving him that final push to make him commit to his relationships. Plus it's also the one time his game dev/programmer background gets referenced again, which is something I thought Cari kinda forgot.

That makes three. 0.7 wasn't bad but it was "missing" something, I don't know what but it did left me unsatisfied (maybe the torturous cliffhanger helped with this). 0.8 however made me excited all the way, and the ending left a good taste in my mouth. It makes you hyped for the next update, sure, but it doesn't add that anxiety of a dreadful cliffhanger. The quality of 0.8 was top notch too, the animations, jokes, even Orion is with a better mentality (FINALLY). I really can't see how 0.8 is a downgrade in anything, honestly, but it is only my opinion.

I don't eitheir. Hell maybe the best update since I'm following this game.

My favorite adventure part between 0.7 and 0.8 would be the New World, which really took place in 0.8 and best scene would be Dalia or the threesome which is a scene I like more and more as I'm replaying it (for reviewing and criticism of course)

There is also like you said Orion new powers and mentality shift, big steps in the plot, great cliffhanger.

Can anyone tell me the title of the song where Orion and Annie in a dinner date?

Go to Cari's youtube channel: @Caribdis_Games

Edit: if you mean at the dinner : A Little Longer - Louis Island

I thought about the coach stuff when playing and then forgot...
I have to admit i'm a bit curious but too lazy to check.
Are there some other (notable ?) changes ?

 

[Leinad_Sevla]

pretty sure leinad's biggest fear is pregnancy content XD

Ahah not exactly. My fear is if that content isn´t avoidable. Leave that choice to the player. A lot of players here will want to get some of them pregnant, or all of them, and other players like me don´t want any of that. We should both get the choice to do that.
If it was up to just me, it would all be facials/cum in mouth finishes. But Cari likes his creampies, so here we are.

Great Update. Really enjoyed it. But these damn cliff hanger. I hope the next update doesn´t take too long. But just take your time. Thanks for all your efforts. Have a good new year.

 

[doonatooo]

this masterpiece left a hole in my heart

 

[someoneyouknow2452]

So I took the liberty of updating the calendar for 0.8 content to the best of my guesses. agree/disagree?

I enjoyed the SP section as well, and that’s having never heard of it before. As I started playing it I thought it might end up being a chore, but it wasn’t too long, just the right length to be enjoyable without being overly repetitive, and it did bring a lot of things into focus of Orion, and the player.
