VN Ren'Py Intertwined [v0.12.3] [Nyx]

[Chuck_Bass]

It is visual novel, would you prefer more real life experience when you get no attention at all? Common ground of all VNs is that MC gets laid chances with multiple characters and if you are not ok with that I suggest changing game genre. Of course everyone can have its own opinion, there is no thing makes everyone happy but yeah... If you are disappointed that 2 best friends from childhood and 3 girls from entire school wants you than I do not know what else did you expect...

I don't mind the MC getting laid, I just don't like unrealistic shit falling into MC lap all of a sudden like he possesses some magical powers without reason. I hate games like this one that takes the word "novel" for granted and make a mockery out of it by making the story non-existent like in a porn flick. If I wanted straight up porn I would watch porn.

I don't know if you played Unbroken for example, The MC is a semi-famous, somewhat rich, good-looking guy so at least it makes sense, and even them women don't just fall all over him(for the most part). Or in Our Red String, The plot is somewhat down to earth and Ian doesn't just run around crushing pussy left and right, he connects with the surrounding girls on some level and they don't fall for him just because it's convenient for the author to make it so.

I looked up the code and seems good to me, never had problems with that myself in any path run. This variable is set during Layla talk at the sport camp and as I see it, all possibilities are covered up. What was your history with Layla and Alexis? Not much space for edge-case tho.

I recall the same error as well. It's not game-breaking so I just ignored it and kept playing. I think it happens if you were on Lexi path but broke up with her (not fixed your relationship in her room when visiting Layla).

To each their own. You don't like it, too bad for you, but the game deserves its rating. The girls are really beautiful and their facial expressions are well done. The story is a bit too telenovella cliché, with a lot of characters tied to each other, but it's well written. Sure the MC might be too much of a "chick magnet", but he has the look for it to be believable.

That's your opinion, fine.
For me, the game deserves 3 stars at best for the reasons I mentioned above.

Oh, he hesitates to put his dick in a 20 Y/O virgin who is coached by him, which could potentially ruin their professional relationship, and on top of that she is proposing him in the gym in their house they share with another 3 people who can walk right in at any moment? How humanly disappointing of him. I'll never play this game ever again.

 

[anonnyscouse]

Given the guys currently available to the girls before MC arrives on the scene (Zach, Ethan, Layla's stalker (forgotten his name)), is it that hard to believe they'd all be interested in MC, a normal good-looking guy?

 

[Tremonia]

OMG how is this game got such a high rating?

The people like it.

The plot is boring and just unrealistic, Does the MC got some magical pheromones that make all the girls lose their minds?

Ask Nyx. It's her story. She would know best if it has to do with magic. But if you ask me it's because of MC's behavior. He shows respect to the girls, he has the ability for self-irony, he's being helpful, he listened to the girls, he is able to laugh about himself and did I mention he shows respect to the girls? You have obviously no ideas how much attractive those things are to women. With money you get whores. With human behavior you get women (and the whores).

well on 2 games mc has pheromones which makes horny.

I didn't know having a personality of a potato and being whipped is attractive.
I stand corrected
The thing is, the girls on the plain and the girl he sat next to in geography in his first day had no insight into his personality or "levels of respect". They had a crush on him...why? Don't know! MC needs to get laid so it's fine(Imagine The Critical Drinker saying it)

That's like 2 levels below CW after school special writing.

MC definitely suffers from MDS (Magic Dick Syndrome) at times. Tis true.

To be fair though. It's not as bad as I've seen in other VNs. And I don't think Layla (the girl in Geography class) is a very good example of Magic Dick . She does start crushing on him, but she doesn't jump his bones. I think their first interactions had enough spark to explain the crush. It's nothing like what happened on the plane. The Alexis and Rachel scenes though? Totally MDS.

You shouldn't skip so many dialogues. They hadn't a crush on him at this time of the story.

Holy shit. This turned from "I don't like this game because of reasons and opinions" (Which is completely fine btw) into ranting, not understanding/accepting other people's views, opinions.

You like other games better which btw do the exact same thing as this game (even worse in my opinion, but that's me). Cool. Play those games and be done with it.

That's fair, I have definitely seen worse. I was taken by surprise in this case because of the high rating and some of the reviews.

The magic dick thing isn't really an issue later on into the VN. I think those scenes are just there so that people don't complain about blueballing. In fact, if you exclude side girls and the optional LIs (Alexis/Cara/Nikki), MC hasn't had any sex scenes at all with any of the main LIs except for like one blowjob scene.

I'm pretty unforgiving when it comes to bad character writing and bad dialogue, but I don't think either of those is an issue with Intertwined. I think the characters are written well, they have good interactions with each other and realistic reactions to MC (especially if he can't keep his dick in his pants). It's a very vanilla story and has a good mix of charm and humor. It's one of the better VNs, IMO.

Are we such a marshmallow of a society if a little disagreement, discussion and debate is frowned upon? Really?
I do not understand/accept their opinion because I strongly disagree with it.

Talk about a marshmallow of a society if you can't even accept that other people have different views.
I accept the fact you don't like this game because of your reasons. No problem with that and you can discuss it. But you just negate other people's comments and try to push your view to be the only correct one.
You can't even see how hypocritical you are. Just reading the stuff you write, you're contradicting yourself.

 

[Chuck_Bass]

That's called arguing/debating. I accept the fact that they like the game, I strongly disagree with the reasons behind their liking.
As far as I know it's a forum, not an echo chamber.

I think the problem is that you started complaining about the game rating. if you don't like the game and you want to say what things you don't like that's fine. but you made it seem like the problem you have is the rating and that's a little weird in my opinion.
anyway if you still don't know them you should try out Summers Gone - Hillside - Leap of faith they seem to be more what you like

I'll take a look at them, thanks!
Leap of faith is OK, parts of it are excellent, other parts are straight up bad(like after school special bad).
