Not me dude. I start crying and feeling sad very easily.You can only get emotional with well know authors bro. duh
Tch, women are so complicated!I don't understand this game!?
I'm basically being the good guy, by r*ping everyone I possibly can, yet still no one seems to like me as a person.
Is there an issue with the code?
Full disclosure: I play the dark route lol (prefer the other routes) But personally, all the LI's reactions are equally sad to me. I think some girls just bury their pain better, Nicki & Pepper being major examples.I don't understand how anyone could hurt any woman. I know, 'it's just a game', but I still can't bring myself to do it. That's just me.
It's perfectly normal to be disturbed by really dark writing, especially if you haven't been accustomed to it like probably you have. Also, it's pretty easy to imagine w/e sick thing an author has come up with in their works.. has probably happened in some form or another in the real world. Our species is fucked manStomach...oh please...it's a story, I've read far worse in published novels by well known authors. it would be different if you reading the real life story of an actual person. That's horrifying.
Not only had the stomach to read it but played all the dark paths to their max. I just don't constantly go on and on and on and on about it all the damn time like some folk do.
It's alright joshy I'm an easy crier too.Not me dude. I start crying and feeling sad very easily.
sadly when I see sad things in these games where I want to cry cause how I feel for a character or whatever I never do haven't cried in years. I have came close a few times but mostly I just feel sad / bad for the character or the situation , sometimes I feel like a Witcher not gonna lieNot me dude. I start crying and feeling sad very easily.
Congratulations? Quite a weird flex IMO, but you do you.Stomach...oh please...it's a story, I've read far worse in published novels by well known authors. it would be different if you reading the real life story of an actual person. That's horrifying.

There is no one who understands women. You rape them and they hate you. Ungrateful whores... They should be grateful that you take the trouble to rape and humiliate them.I don't understand this game!?

took my lame joke to another levelThere is no one who understands women. You rape them and they hate you. Ungrateful whores... They should be grateful that you take the trouble to rape and humiliate them.
I think you're being a little disingenuous with this take, bro.Whatever...called knowing the difference between reality and fiction
This. Again, I know this is a game. But it's different then watching/reading someone else do it. Here, you are actively choosing to hurt them. I can't do that, even if it is fictional. And no, I am not some saint when it some to RL.It is just about empathy and how it is easier to be triggered.
Reading books or watching movie is like someone else's horrible shit. The author write it. In this game, or other VN, you are the one making the choice. It is not just a story. You choose to hurt someone. That makes it easier for us to have empathy. Making a choice means you are actively participating.
Also, the description is important. You can see the girls suffering. In many video games, you kill the people and they just gone. The game does not emphasis what's their emotion, except some important characters.
My comment was more on 'if you can stomach my written description of what happens'...like seriously, get over yourself. With the images, it is a lot more powerful, will freely agree to that just as Des has explained. Just a written summary? Really? Like I said, I've read worse in every day stories from famous authors and you see worse on the news (than what he wrote as his summary).I think you're being a little disingenuous with this take, bro.
Of course, there is a difference between reality and fiction, but ever since people learned to tell stories, they have had a way to live a little in a simulated reality and feel the feelings and emotions that the characters of the fiction experience. It's only a matter of how good the reality is simulated.
Obviously, for most people, watching a movie will allow them to become much more immersed and feel the thrills of the story than reading a book, where you need to have a very developed imagination to get immersed in the story. And the use of virtual reality in combination with sensory deprivation activates the same areas of the brain and neural connections as real world stimuli, so that the subject's brain is practically unable to distinguish reality from fiction.
It's good that AVNs do not yet allow you to achieve such a level of immersion in fictional reality.
But I think, they are superior to even movies in some ways, since usually the player acts on behalf of the main character and makes decisions about MC's actions changing the story flow. And a well-written plot and graphics make what is happening on the screen quite convincing, at least during the playthrough.
So yes, when AVN is done well, it helps the player believe in the fictional world and its characters and feel an emotional connection to them. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of cg-illustrations for a mediocre story. And I guess many people don't want to experiment with a roleplaying a rapist and an asshole. However the question stands, why they play the dark path when all the tags and warnings are in place.
By the way, they often make the argument that you are bothered by the dark themes in AVNs but at the same time you easily run over pedestrians in GTA. I think the issue is exactly what I wrote above: thanks to a fairly well-written, gripping storyline and deep, living characters, the player perceives and experiences what is happening in AVN too personally.
Oops, seems I had it open quite a long time.also, how long you had that quote open for...I deleted the post over an hour ago as decided it just wasn't worth it, you I respect enough to reply to properly
