haha sometimes almost feels like BTT should make a skip sad crying Alex scene button for the people that want to explore other paths but dont want to make her cry

We'd still know we crushed her heart.

id honestly forget about it while i'm playing tho im one of the few that has no problem making her cry to play Isa solo anyways , so such a thing wouldn't bother me anymore than playing my Isa solo save. I do ctrl skip past the crying bit whenever I do replay Isa's path tho

It was tough, even for me who is not an Alex's dedicated fan, so all I can say - brace yourself

BTW, I only recently realized that this is Dessolos I've been talking too, just with a new avatar

I may be exaggerating slightly here for the fun of it, but I really am reluctant to see that scene. Perhaps because I really do like her a lot and the way she is written. I would easily fall in love with a real girl like that.

lol yeah I decided to change my Avatar to a different head patting one every day or so. Since I came across a head pat anime subreddit on accident lol. I went a year or so with a blank one so was time for a change

no I get it I have a hard time making LI in other games cry too even if I don't like them very much but Alex is one of the hardest for me to watch such a scene. If this was real life id honestly go for Alex over Isa even tho I do prefer Isa. As id feel Isa is way out of my league and Alex I can have fun doing just about anything with. As weird as this sounds Alex feels more like just an average normal girl I can talk with but Isa I'd be intimidated

not gonna lie I've been tempted once or twice, but in the end couldn't bring myself to push that button

that's why unseen text and ctrl skip is my friend on some games haha I just just hit the button hold ctrl and look away for certain things on some games like a dark path on a game we both play

I know, still, Alex is one of my favorite AVN characters so I'm having a hard time to do that.

 

[Finuee]

yeah I been branching out and playing them lately kind of been liking them a bit more than Male MC games even if I know they are crap at the core of it. Just because I get into an entirely different mind set that I just can't get with a Male MC game and I have a bit more fun cause of it.

Just curious, but why are all FMC games crap at the core?

 

[Krytax123]

Just curious, but why are all FMC games crap at the core?

Because 99% of them are dumb "turn the fmc into a whore" simulators without any meaningful story, character development or whatsoever

 

[Dessolos]

out of the ones ive played even tho I liked them alot for different reasons. Are more about them being corrupted , or doesn't feel like you can have a real relationship or character deveolopment for the most part with the other characters and lacks a decent story usually. They feel like the Male MC equivalent to a fuck fest game. There are some decent ones like that but those give you alot of choices and options that it's the only reason it really makes them stand out compared to the others. Sure there are some that aren't like that but those are rare to find.

Woah, yeah, that really sounds like crap. And here I was, meaning to ask you for a recommendation of some good FMC, expecting something very story deep...

Not what I was looking for at all, really. I didn't expect them to be corruption games, thought corruption ones would be mostly games where a guy MC is corrupting a LI. This was slightly unexpected.

yeah I can only like them if it's somewhat slow burn or gives you alot of choices. Otherwise I just tolerate them as FMC allows me to get into a different mind set that I find fun and usually can look past the bad but I still have my limits to garbage fuck fest games. If you want some decent ones I found a few on the Story first games thread don't got a link to it.

To bring the conversation somewhat back on track, is there any one that you especially like about the game?
Personally, I like a lot of things, but if I had to pick one (and I have to now, don't I?) it would probably be characterization. Alex and Isa feel very real. We know Alex the best so far, she has been through some really tough stuff (but not exaggerated for effect), she's a fighter and a bit goofy. Loyal with a very big heart. We don't know Isa as well yet, but she's smart and a little lonely ( I think) with a very complicated relationship to her family.

I think my fav thing about this game is the development of the throuple. It sort of just flows together rather than one person thrust in to a couple.

Yes please. I'm still traumatised.

 

[badtimetales]

Yes please. I'm still traumatised.

Come on, that wasn't so hard (compared to the original idea I had in mind).
But yeah, maybe I can add a "Skip emotional scene" button.

now you have me curious lol

 

[badtimetales]

now you have me curious lol

The original planned scene was much more emotional.

Now Alex just walks to the window, comes back and says "ok, thanks to be honest".
My first idea would have been an emotional disaster.

It's all about character building, but I didn't wanted to feel people bad about the decision to dump her.
I still did, but believe me, that was the softest way I could do it.
People said "Too much drama for me". So be it.


At least how I see Alex and the MC and their past.

not having seen the scene myself, I would have made it so gut wrenching that no one ever would ever attempt it again
