and the more I thought about the game in the last few days, the more I'm sure I'm dropping it. weird, stupid shit in the story, awful cliffhangers, secret paths... all characters making the same retarded faces over and over...
now, I have cut my games to about 4 in the past year because I both got bored of playing literally the same game with somewhat different looking characters over and over and I just don't have the patience to wait for almost a year to see a story progress. let's say taking a new game at episode 2 now. it will probably have 10 episodes total. what's the estimate for that game to be finished? and, as we know, dev times get longer and longer with more "complications" as the story moves on. most games take roughly 9 months to release a new episode and intertwined was... I wouldn't say tolerated but it was coming down towards it recently... anyway, I've "tolerated" (for lack of a better word at the moment) intertwined because it's the first AVN I played and nyx dished out updates fairly quick for the last few episodes, with decent chucks of renders in a fair amount of time. now it took her 6 months for a 1400 render update with a promise of a big update coming up? yeah, I doubt I'll be waiting for that one. especially when you know the cliffhanger resolution is going to be something incredibly stupid.
as shogun said when he announced he won't be posting updates anymore:
"the game just didn't make the cut"
