Man this seems like a bad habit now/trying to trigger me and piss me off:
1) I request/+1 a game in the Game Request
2) The game gets a topic
3) Immediately gets slapped with a 1-star/2-star review within the next 24 hours
4) I almost lose interest of the game/lose interest in it and don't play it
Every... single... time! I will try this one cause someone showed it to me though.
Happened last time for Ars Magna, spent like 50 hours on it (Played it THRICE).
There should be a rule that reviews cannot be accepted until at least 48 hours from topic creation, like that, everyone from every timezone would at least have a chance to test any game appropriately!
Another idea is to simply remove the Ratings altogether, simply leave the Reviewing option without rating the game!
Note: BTW, this is why I don't review games/write reviews; I'm afraid to overshoot the review (so that people play it then be disappointed) or undershoot it (so that players avoid the game and those who try it feel like they've been betrayed)
'Fraid I ain't tried to trigger or upset you (or anyone else) in any capacity. I don't even know you or that game you mentioned.
I'm sorry if you feel in some capacity targeted.
But the fact seeing a low rating on a game discourages you from playing a game doesn't mean I shouldn't be allowed to express why I think a product I 100%'d is of low quality.
I gave a plot recap, I explained the strategy I used, I even listed the cards I had. It don't get no more in-depth than this I'm afraid.
And, hey, let me encourage you to share your opinion of this game (and others). The more reviews on a game, the better users of the site can get an aggregate opinion of the game's quality. My opinion ain't no more valuable than anyone else's, and the more reviews the better. Don't worry about overshooting or undershooting; be true to your experience with the game, and people will appreciate your voice.
i wouldnt call it a good review when theres ZERO mention of the ADULT CONTENT in the PORN game.
I actually did mention I've not even done the first brothel scene since it yields 5K gold and you get >200K from a dungeon run. Also, I mentioned that I assumed the scenes with the protagonist's mother result from begging for extensions, which again I did not do as I used up less than 20% of the time allowed.
That should tell you that the adult content is to your objective in the game as well as to the narrative what taking a mallet to your own foot is: harmful.
However, allow me to be completely unambiguous about this: I hit the "unlock all" button after finishing the game and went over the scenes.
They are bland and boring and uninspired and there's not many of them. And they're not animated.
All in all, a waste of time and disk space.
Anyone figured out what "Discard chance +x" do?
Discard chance is the number of cards you can remove from your deck at the knights order. Honestly you don't have to worry about that at all since you start out with 6 if memory serves, which is enough to purge most starter cards, and you get more for each dungeon you complete.
I'd say that reflects more on the game than the review. The porn was such a non factor or so disconnected from the gameplay that it wasn't even worth mentioning. Good porn games intergrate the two or at least have one lead clearly into the other with reasonable justification, if good scenes are the only thing you're hunting in a porn game you'll have more luck on sad panda.
Precisely as you said, it's a non-factor that's not only disconnected from the gameplay objectives and narrative of the game, but is actively detrimental to both.
