I respect your opinion — even though I disagree with it. Note that FET is supposed to be a simple (written in Python) porn adaptation of a popular animated series, so 99% of the community would probably be satisfied with an endless series of sex scenes featuring well-known characters. Yet Marty demonstrated the ambition to add a plot that takes place within the events of the series — which deserves recognition in itself, but that's not all. He also added a significant amount of humor and — most importantly — more serious and disturbing scenes, such as Toph's dream, the dialogue with Koh in the spirit world, heh—even the Halloween event as part of the Love Route epilogue has something unusual about it... Personally, I appreciate that; I like FET as a whole — notice how simple means can create something that can be interpreted in several different ways, as evidenced by this conversation. Yes, FET has a few flaws, such as a somewhat tedious grind (especially in Books 1 and 2), subsequent patches can also ruin saves - but - it's nothing particularly serious.
I will admit, the team does get points for attempting to create a story set in universe. There are aspects of the game and it's story that is surprisingly detailed and (loosely) accurate to the shows. i can appreciate that aspect and it shows they truly enjoy the source material. But that doesn't excuse the terrible writing. If they insist on having a plot that involves characters with established personalities its up to them to write the character convincingly. i understand parody games, and porn games especially require a certain suspension of disbelief and the characters will not be 1 for 1 but the entire game is these characters talking and evolving relationships. if the writing is bad then the game is bad, and every single character is written in the exact same, dry, sarcastic and casually vulgar way. i physically rolled my eyes the first time Katara swore. in the end, it doesn't matter. this game is years old and i will never play it again. i made this post to try and understand why noone seems to have a problem with it. your post put it best, its ok that it's bad because its PORN
I’ve heard that there are people who don’t like ice cream, but I never thought I’d actually see one…
But jokes aside, the game is meant to be comedic, in case you didn’t notice while playing. Taking a joke seriously just shows a lack of understanding. And yes, it’s an NSFW game, so… these things happen. Every game has its own tone.
There are games that are meant to feel serious, and in those, if the writing fails, then sure, that’s a real issue.
But in a game that’s intentionally designed to be comedic, complaining about absurd things just means you’re missing the whole point.
i love icecream, but not when its fallen on the ground and i could get another free cone at the stand right next to me
the game's comedic tone is shit, there are people who like the grating swears and vapid sarcastic one liners but for me that style of "comedy" is unbearable. its ok if YOU like it, im not judging. but don't pretend its not shit.
And in case YOU didn't notice the game pretends to have a plot based on the source material. if that fails then what is there? a series of mid tier drawings of characters in vanilla situations? just go watch porn at that point, why even have a game
i made my post to try and understand why people were so enamored with this pile. and thankfully you answered my question in your first line! Some people are simply ok with consuming unambitious, characterless slop.
Feel free to leave and never come back, Mr. New Account.
Thanks, Mr. Terminal Gooner! but i think ill stick around for a while
