I put that bit in there after I was getting a ton of low reviews from people who weren't actually playing the game complaining on how bad the game was they just finished not playing.
At the end of the game this is a porn game. And just like with porn videos the experience is better if you can fast forward and play at your own pace.I put that bit in there after I was getting a ton of low reviews from people who weren't actually playing the game complaining on how bad the game was they just finished not playing.
The exact wording, for those that never saw it, is:
"Right. Just don't come find me online to gripe, or post one-star reviews about lack of content in a game that you skipped almost all content of."
To which the player can reply with:
"I won't come to gripe or post bad reviews when I'm actually just skipping to the lewd bits."
To which it replies:
"Thanks, that's something I guess. Although I'm pretty sure you'd probably be happier doing something else, I still hope you enjoy the few bits you don't skip."
It was meant as both a joke and a courtesy, mind you. I have no doubt that LomL is a below average experience if you cut out everything but the bits with nipples out, compared to when you do the exact same thing to some other titles out there, especially to a player who's only interested in the nipples and could care less about any form of story, and I was trying to spare them that experience.
Not that that's ever worked, of course.
There's always someone dropping by complaining on how bad this game is they never actually played, or how poor the writing they never read. And how when they do slow down for some nipples, what they get of the story doesn't really conform to the easy tropes they're used to and thoroughly confuses them, which is of course more evidence on how much of a stinking pile of overrated garbage it truly is.
Of course, I guess I should have seen that coming, people who don't read VNs will not read that disclaimer either. Oh well.
Is it though? You quoted the person making it, so they probably know more than you.
is not a "porn game" is a visual NOVEL with adult content in it...is not the same...
So in Your simple undestanding porn is porn, so let's say as gay You should enjoy lesbian porn because it's still porn, isn't it?
Sure, but You're missing out a lot.
Absolutely agree on that part at least. Whether your preference is to ffwd or to stop and read, the choice on how to play it is yours and the creator should just get out of the way (after maybe suggesting that you're not getting the full experience, so you go in with all the info).
Wrong on that count though, as you've demonstrated yourself on quite a few occasions you actually didn't get the gist of the story, which is not "old lady dead, sadface while you bang the other poon in the household instead". Doesn't invalidate that it's still fine to play that way, but you sort of forfeit your right to have an opinion on a story if you haven't actually read the story, or at least the right not to look like a bit of a jackass while trying to do so.
I don’t care what we call it. Just happily waiting for the next update.Absolutely agree on that part at least.

I guess the use of "beat this game" is kinda telling. I mean, it works in that context, but if you told someone you "beat this novel" on your holiday instead of "I read this novel", that'd just sound weird. And at it's heart, LomL is a visual novel first and game second.
I am sure that no writer out there likes to hear that some people don't consider his work as important as the visuals, gameplay etc.., but there is nothing wrong with playing this or any other game "to get to the good stuff". I found the H scenes with the daughters as hot as anyone else even while only armed with the knowledge that "mom is dead, daughters hot, let's go on a holiday, was that a bear wtf". Reading the text during every dinner and every bathroom event would have made me enjoy the game less.
there's one major problem with playing with ctrl to get to the good stuff
"Beat this game." That's the key right there. You think you're "winning" somehow if you skip understanding the story and get to see sexy bits. Have fun with that. Kind of a waste of time with this particular VN, though, since it really isn't designed for that. (And no—if you skip to the sexy bits you won't have even the first clue about the progression of the story. You might think you do, but you'll be wrong, and it will only get worse as you go.)
I imagine people like you trying out the new Far Cry game with a buddy of yours and when he is attacking a base he decides to use grenades and machine guns instead of stealth and you start yelling at him "NO. YOU ARE PLAYING THE GAME WRONG. STOP HAVING FUN!"
I didn't say you weren't having fun, nor did I say you can't play it as you wish. Your claim that you "get the gist" of the story is silly, though. You don't care about the story—if you did, you'd be reading it. Play it your way if you want, but don't pretend you know anything about the story beyond what you picked up from these discussions.
I know more than enough.
That's not the default setting though, it's more for skipping content you've already seen whenever you're forced to replay the game.
For your purposes, I'm sure you do.
