Considering the amount of peoples that are still traumatized by it even today, I admit that I'm glad I didn't tried yet.I played it, but didn't finish it.
Especially considering my mental state right now, maybe in the future I will try, but certainly not now.

Leap of Faith is 1,000 times better than AL at least story wise.

It really isn't that traumatizing in all fairness. Or that great if a VN either all things considered.Considering the amount of peoples that are still traumatized by it even today, I admit that I'm glad I didn't tried yet.

Well, of all the people I read writing about it described it as a bad experience, of course i'm only reporting what they wrote, so my post need to be taken with a grain of salt ( big, always).
Anyway I don't intend to try it now, like I said I'm not in the right mind set for trying nothing more sad than Pac-Man so...
Maybe one day I will give it a try.

Dylan, we meet each other in many threads, believe me, the game in question is very good with quite memorable characters and a nice story. The end, as you may be aware, is something you will never forget. Is it nice? No. But it is unforgettable.Considering the amount of peoples that are still traumatized by it even today, I admit that I'm glad I didn't tried yet.

I consider it a ritual of passage into a mature appreciation of AVN's. LoF is excruciatingly painful, and should NOT be played if you are in a sensitive stage in your life. AL, should be played when you are in a strong stage in your life. Both are important and unforgettable.
Pay attention, your stage in life is what will determine how you'll be affected.

I was at a really bad stage in my life when I played LoF. To me it helped pull me back from the abyss I was staring into. The theme of LoF was something I was all too familiar with as a paramedic.Dylan, we meet each other in many threads, believe me, the game in question is very good with quite memorable characters and a nice story.

LoF made me cry for 3 straight hours like I probably only cried 3 or 4 times in my life. It really hits fucking hard.

True, and yes I completely agree with you both LoF and AL are games that I'm not ready to play as of right now, I need games that can relax me nothing more nothing less, I really couldn't afford anything else.Dylan, we meet each other in many threads, believe me, the game in question is very good with quite memorable characters and a nice story.

I stopped looking the NCIS and CSI series, and they are pretty tame in comparison imho, just to give you an idea of my state of mind so....
Thank you so much for you words of advice and for your kindness, I'm very happy to be part of this community because you're all helping me tremendously in this moment of my life, and this has no price for me it's amazing both for my heart and my mind.
I would heavily disagree with the notion that Acting Lessons would be "important" to everyone who's mentally stable enough to handle it. I'm not here to lambast anyone's opinion on a game, that's not my point, but similarly it's certainly not objectively great for everyone that isn't sensitive. You find it important to you, that's great. I find it a colossal waste of time that engages in the worst form of schock-baiting, with all the equivalent finesse that jump scares have in horror stories.Dylan, we meet each other in many threads, believe me, the game in question is very good with quite memorable characters and a nice story.

The only reason I'm saying this is because no one should feel like that's a title that they have to try, or that they just weren't mentally prepared for it if the "twist" was something they didn't enjoy. If anything, stories with cheap "twists" like that are more universally despised than they are praised, no matter the media. So it's much more accurate to consider it a niche interest than something for everyone.
I know nothing about LoF but if it's anything like AL then I know to stay away.
Again, not here to rain on anyone's parade. But it's an injustice to those who haven't played it to make them think AL is anything like a must-try.

I consider them important, not only for the game themselves, but for the impact they have on the whole AVN world. A bit like how important it is to read several books, whose importance transcend the book itself, since they are transformative and influential.
In regards to LoF, no, it isn't anything like AL. I will not spoil it, but it suffices to say that it isn't a shocking ending.
Mate, I know what that is. Breathe. I've been living with that since I was 7, I am 60.

I personally, having played both, think Acting Lessons is of much less value. It resorts to cheap shots and feels way more linear. LoF I think is overall a beneficial experience, but it touches on very real dark topics, attempts to emotionally damage you (just in less of a sucker punch way), and you definitely want to "have your head right" before going into it.True, and yes I completely agree with you both LoF and AL are games that I'm not ready to play as of right now, I need games that can relax me nothing more nothing less, I really couldn't afford anything else.

I debated reaching out to you when I saw you relay your current situation in another thread, but we've never personally spoken before, so I felt it would be weird. I lost my mom in June, so I wouldn't say I "know what you're going through", because we're different people, but I can empathize. I've been doing a lot of reflecting, bouncing between despondence and extreme clarity with a desire for self improvement. I've decided to focus on the latter, and if you're feeling the same way I'd also recommend that. Has to be better than the alternative, right? You're always welcome to slide into my DMs if you want to vent, my dude.
More on topic: I'm looking forward to seeing how this all gets tied up. Obviously we have a general idea of the outcome, but the specifics of the journey are TBD.
