my biggest problem with this is, that there was this challenge. it was indicated that there was a way to win, but no indication that it was actually impossible. so you start searching for the right path to win and lose hours of your lifetime for nothing. and then you get a forced "punishment" for something you didnt actually fail!
I mean it's not like the game didn't tell you it was rigged:

Define "controversial".

I don't like vanilla romance plots in these games, as I think devs can't write it properly and is more fitting for some cheap vampire novel for soccer moms than a porn game. Should I whine when a game forces a default romantic partner (and too many do), or we can only consider controversial what a certain subset of players doesn't like? Is it a majority vote kind of thing and where can we vote? And if it is, do you think a game developing its critical path by committee is a good game?

Personally, I find more worrying the possibility of that movie reference being some meta commentary on dev's thoughts than any "forced fetish". Because any dev thin-skinned enough to feel "forced" to adjust their vision, is bound to fuck it all up at some point.
Well, is there a definition which is sharp and always applies? Probably not. It is a sliding scale, and subjective at that as you pointed out. However, there's a difference between "this game includes cutting off the nipples of the girls you had sex with" and "this game features a character named Stacy and I have had really bad IRL experiences with a Stacy, not to forget Stacy's mom". Both these facts may deter you from playing or they may not, but I'd argue that there would be a common understanding which is more controversial.

The post you were referring to was talking about kinks often discussed on these forums, many with tags so people can avoid (or look for) the games in question. Yes, even that is often wonky and "when is X really starting to be X" is an open question, not only for the infamous NTR, but also for (male/female) domination, BDSM, to name just a few.

But I think we could say "so far everything outside of vanilla sex" (HJ, BJ, PiV) was optional, so it is a change of pace. Then again, the whole idea of "app domination" isn't optional and may be a big issue in itself.

I kind of felt like I should have given you a "facepalm" just so you wouldn't be disappointed, but I hate giving people a facepalm reaction unless they "earn" it like for asking about updates right after the Dev has made a post about updates :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
Sooooo, when is Week 3 coming out? And will it be normal or extended and what is the difference anyway? :whistle:

Yeah, a common expression. However for some reason you chose the occurence where the acting was worse than in your average amateur porn movie ;)

The funny thing about your example is that I'm sure a certain group of players would much prefer the cutting nips thing than some of the kinks you included afterwards. That's why I think what's considered controversial is a bit skewed because some people are just more willing to rage at certain stuff than others who don't give a shit in general. It's more like a meme at this point and we see it with rl issues in social media too. A handful of people make too much noise, while the vast majority doesn't give a shit about their so called issue. And yet they often get the attention they seek because they are the only ones yelling.

Your final line pretty much shows it's not that much of a change of pace. The game is called fetish locator, it is all about a shitload of fetishes and it features a dude who has been a puppet on a string for this app from the start. In sense, he has had very limited agency from the get go. So something like the cage thing was expected the way I see it.

I didn't like it at all. The whole chastity/lock fetish does nothing for me as I always try to play a complete man-whore MC, no matter the game and the story. But I can still see it's on par with the theme of the game and done for obvious plot reasons. Now if it overstays its welcome and suddenly this game is about a dude who is perma-locked and throws everything else into the trash...that's another story. But I don't see that happening (and if it does I'll just look elsewhere).

Obviously not in the Author's vision, their story, their plot
I agree. The MC is being blackmailed! WHY would a blackmailer give you a chance to win if they enjoy watching you suffer? They gave what they thought was an impossible task and you succeeded against their desire, so you get an automatic loss. We don't know Fetish Locator's end game. Just play it through. I mean it's not like your real dick is in a cage!

My question got buried in the senseless arguing.
I am saddened that I couldn't play the update, yet the thread is telling me everything about the new update that I got to miss.
But, if I have to start over, due to old saves not working, I'm likely to just wait til the game is finished, cause I really hate having to start over this far into the game.

Do saves from week 2 not work in week 3?
When I started week 3 I got the option to continue from week 2 and it just started from there, it didn't give me a choice as to which save file to go with, I assume that it took the last completed week 2 one ...

I'll delete all unused saves, then, so it will use the one I want. lol
I think I only have one save for this game, which is good, I guess.
Thanks for the info.

I really liked this game. I loved that you could pick what fetishes you wanted and didn't. Five stars all the way. At least until I downloaded week 3. Stoped the game at having to make the first choice. Just not for me. For me it drops my rating of the game down to two stars. Out of respect for the work done I'm not going to rate the game A lot or work was put into this game and I respect that. Best of luck with the game.

Played Week 3.
I will say it again, no way Lydia isn't involved with the FL app. I find her encouragement of Mike when he wanted to give up from the game quite suspicious and she was way too happy with the "no penis" idea. :devilish::unsure:

And who would have guess Peter is the one who say "fuck it! Not going to let some anon blackmail me over some porn pics. You can release them in the wild for all i care". :LOL::LOL:
Wonder who took his notebook, maybe the people behind FL app. :unsure:

Mike took Lyssa's WMD as a champ (still want a scene between them without the damn cage) and it seems the thick lawyer also have Olivier heads over heels for her. :p

Guess AmRose and Stacy will probably hack the eletronic cage while inside their "faraday cage" in the next couple of days from the looks of it.
In this update, Mike is with Lyssa ahem... have the roles been reversed?
