If Himiko dies, we riot.
At this point I don't know, it wouldn't be the first adult game where one of the love interests dies.I'm pretty calm when it comes to Himiko I doubt one of the 4/5 main girlsstill have my doubts if Hannah is onewill honestly die.
I'm not saying that Big Beautiful Cock will fix everything but...
if they really kill her off, half the playerbase is gone overnight. feels less like drama and more like the dev pressing the self-destruct button just to see what happens.
I agree with this point of view; if the main character dies, the game is no longer interesting.
I don't know if she is popular enough that, half of the player base would just stop playing, but yea having one of the love interests dying is probably something that most of the players don't really want. I just hope the dev lightens up things in future updates. Like I said in previous posts, I think the writing is great, but I also think the game is becoming emotionally too heavy.
Weak men creates gooner slop games
For me killing a love interest without even having the option of saving her is always a bad thing in AVNs. It feels like it's just adding drama for the sake of it. But yea at the end of the day it's the dev's game and he can do whatever he wants. Personally I think the game is just becoming way too depressing and even though the writing is good, sooner or later, if it keeps going in this direction it will stop being enjoyable.
Haha yeah. That scene started pretty disturbing and I was wondering if more of the game would be that way. Overall however it's pretty wholesome. I haven't played ep 5 yet since it won't be on Steam until this saturday (unless Steam again screws up AVN releases), so I'm still curious what all the downer events will be that I sometimes see a glimpse of on this forum.if only there was an example already in the game of something that should have been a large/traumatic/noteworthy event that ended up having little role in the overall characters (bonus points if that first example also includes magic futa logic that defies medical science)
Luckily I haven't played many games yet where this has happened except for the most famous one. I do agree that an AVN should always have a possibility to save the love interest(s), no matter how hidden or how weird the combination of choices beforehand are to get that "secret" scenario.
Yeah im not in the loop either but all im saying is there is already an example of what many would consider a "life changing event" and it has the same importance (in story) as any other random hangout that leads to sex
I think the most infamous one is the game Acting lessons where 2 of the love interests are in the fire and the player can only save one of them. Majority of devs try to avoid stuff like that because it's not really something that players seem to enjoy. But there is already so much depressing stuff in this game that it wouldn't surprise me if the dev actually ended up killing one of the love interests. Hopefully that will not be the case because the love interest in question is actually my favorite girl in the game.
To be honest, yes I would invest that time myself. I'm someone who loves to find out what kind of person was, what lead to their death, if there is imo a valid enough reason why we couldn't save them and how the aftermath will be.Yeah im not in the loop either but all im saying is there is already an example of what many would consider a "life changing event" and it has the same importance (in story) as any other random hangout that leads to sex
and as others have said there is a huge difference between stuff like drama/story needing conflicts etc (even something as serious as raping your best friend) and a character literally dying...even ignoring how anyone feels about the character in particular what about people in the future? All they need to do is look up their name (or use walkthrough, or talk to someone who has played up to that point, or noticed that she has less fan art/sigs/whatever) to know that she dies.....and are you really going to use time (in game and irl) to see scenes or care about someone who dies a considerable amount before the game ends? Then some (not half lol) will leave because someone they liked died, with even more leaving because
AN LI DYING (STAYING DEAD) WITHOUT PLAYER INPUT HAS NEVER WORKED IN AN AVN (debatable if you consider someone dying in the prologue as the crux of the story)
That is indeed the only one I've played where this happens. Yes, it's a painful moment, but not a reason for me not to play that game again every couple of years. But great... it seems ep 5 will be an extreme downer then, because in ep 1-4 I can't think of any moment (except Lisa's situation) that I would say is depressing. Even the "best friend rape" after the transformation didn't end up as depressing, seeing how much she loved it.
