They are indeed a lot more shallow and fast-paced but honestly, few exceptions aside this is kinda the state of current hollywood (kinda a different zeitgeist). I did enjoy them quite a bit for the action they delivered though but admittedly I was never the biggest old Trekki to begin with so I can see why old-school fans might have been left disappointed
Not quite, the Kobayashi Maru was designed as a test to determine a selected crew's ability to work as a team and a captain's ability to command that team and ultimately was designed as unwinnable, only won by Kirk's team during his final attempt through cheating. Lessons in Love, while technically unwinnable because there is no endgame yet, is not designed to be. It is designed to screw with us, the players, and to make a perfect run extremely challenging, but not impossible.
Was referring to that specific choice not the whole game.
I said the game has no endgame. At this point, there is neither a winnable nor an unwinnable endgame.Good summary. However, how do you know that Selebus has a winnable endgame? For all we know it will end up with other girls, or even the MC taking Maya's spot or something equally horrible. Maybe the MC will wake up one day in Maya's body, sitting in a classroom, as a new (horny) Sensei comes into the room and starts (poorly) teaching. I wouldn't put it past him, the scoundrel
There is a solution that allows for a winnable scenario in that case, unlike the Kobayashi Maru, as I said. While I was making a general statement, it does apply to the specific case presented as well.
Same here, but any choice that doesn't result in what is considered a loss is a win.
I'd say it's entirely possible to see either outcome as a loss. Depends on what you value. Game theory is an interesting topic.
It is, but game theory is the study of large groups of individuals all strategically trying to get ahead of one another in complex multiplayer "games" such as the stock market, the African savannah, or even EVE Online, not a denpa VN author forcing two poorly contrived black-and-white choices on a player just to remind them that they can't have nice things and because the cake is a lie in the first place, much less eating it and keeping it, too.
They're the Linux to the soul or something idk I don't computer
Sure let me just go compress my game so you can steal it really quick
