Anyone calling Molly vanilla hadn't seen the perfect ending..... which part of sucking Tales under his "childhood friend's " guidance is vanilla ?
- Thread starter CobraSGT
- Start date
You really think Fallen Order was good because of EA ?
Also you really think that was a case of them being Flexible....
How far in the sand is your head burried.
Fallen Order is literally the bare minimum they could do to appease fans of an already established brand who they have taken several shits on. That wasn't being flexible, that was an attempt to salvage the brand before big poppy Disney stripped them of the rights.
Again your analogy falls flat once you know the context.
Yes that being the perfect ending however where was the steps for getting Molly to behave like that under MC's supervision or perhaps he takes another trip home while they have a girl's night like Nikki did before with the R.A

well.. of course many of us would find it lackluster since soo many were invested into nikki more than into the other girls..
But the dev had warned us about that a LONG time ago.. so i was kinda prepared lol.
For ppl that focused on Molly for example, it will be very satisfactory.
Still.. game is great and the story is good..
iam glad the dev had finished it..
if the game is not sold outside of patreon, i will even pledge for a couple months just to show some support.
It was a great job.

Why do I even bother if I have to write a whole essay just so people can get my point.
EA could have turned fallen order into a micro transactions shit storm if they wanted to but they held back. I didn't say they made it good or anything. It was an example they did something that they do not want to do and they got rewarded for it. But this is not about EA this is about patreon devs and as I said they stand to gain more money if they implement an idea or two from fans, more fans will be hopeful that their idea might get chosen and they will support the dev but if they don't then some supporters will stop giving them money. Is that so hard to get through your thick skulls? I never said they had to, they can do whatever the fuck they want it is their game. I'm just arguing that doing something the fans want might not be such a bad idea. Sheesh.

Hated the endings.
Loved the game and the fact the dev stuck to his vision of the game.
Unfortunately, Molly was way too bland as a character for me, so having the ending basically focused on her didn't work quite well for me. But yeah, that's my personal, totally subjective point of view. Others may think differently.
About the hate? That's to be expected. When you call a game "My Sister, My Roommate" and it does not include said sister as one of the possible endings, people will get frustrated. The problem here is that a "presumption" is artificially created. But, truth be told, the dev was, always, crystal clear about what part Nikki would play, on forums and such. Still, quite a few people probably missed that.
The fact that Taylor and Nikki did develop some sort of relationship throughout the whole game didn't help. It only added more fuel to the furnace.
That's why the title of a game is such an important deal. And why devs should really be extra careful when choosing one for their game.
And also why a game should be crystal clear about what it IS and ISN'T about. Obviously, this game did not make it clear enough, apparently.
But, all in all, great game. And a finished one! Those are way too few and far between, for us to not celebrate this. Kudos to the dev.
And yes, I'm curious about his next game as well. Perhaps this time I'll become a patreon of his. ^^

Haters gonna hate, complainers gonna complain, these days it's like that's all we ever see. So I'm gonna buck that trend and say a very heart-felt "Thank You". Thank You for writing and developing this game, Thank You for sticking to your story despite all the "requests" to change direction, Thank You for the humor (the beach/bar scene had me in fits of laughter) and Thank You for taking the time to try and explain just why the game ended in the way it has (still downloading so I've not yet played through the new update).

As i said above. EA could not turn Fallen order into macro transaction shit, because EA didn't take any part through development cycle.
As I said above this is not about EA I just used it as an example. And I'm not here to debate EA.
Forgot Jessica. Surprised D got with one of the other ladies, much less marrying them. Didn't see that coming.

Of all the game companies you choose to use EA as an example?
The company that won "Worst company in America" not once but twice (actually two years in a row)! Seriously, such a bad choice to use as an example!

Take this with a pinch of salt but I would say the "problem" is that the initial setup and name of the game really suggests there's going to be some type of major open-ended choice rather than have things narrow down to Molly = good ending, everyone else = not so good.
The thing is that Discord, Patreon, even this thread is like an extended universe/tie-in material for a piece of media. You may have a fantastic reason for a character to do an action that comes out of the blue but if that reason is only given in author notes/threads/outside material and the main project makes it out to be a nonsensical act then the author has failed in their creative process.
I'm talking from the position of a writer so it's not me ragging on you. But to paraphrase the Rock - "It doesn't matter if you told your Patreons this was the path the story was on" if the story itself didn't suggest this until the ending. It's almost similar to "The Bell" game that has the MC Pavlov control his wife only to find out she's play-acting and set the entire situation up. If you don't lay the groundwork then it comes out of nowhere and you get upset fans.
Honestly, I think the game's main failure in this part is there wasn't enough hesitation when dealing with Nikki. You wrote those scenes almost too well with a real groundwork for the two characters having a type of relationship at the end (incest patch ignored). I'm not someone who reads through every announcement a game dev releases so the only way you're going to make sure I know she's not a viable LI is by telling me through the story.
Anyone who is a story creator can't use the crutch of pointing to an external statement to provide proof their story makes sense. It's a failure of the storytelling.

Having read the comments here, and since my saves for this release are not working, I do not think I will waste my time starting over again.
Based on the other players comments, the end is complete bullshit, and not worth worrying about playing it.

Yup, unless you're interested in ONLY Molly, you're gonna be sad lol

Well congrats on ending your first game. Well we did know that Nikki was not an end love interest, though I still think it is a pity you have condemned Nikki to a live of unhappiness with someone that at best is second best in her mind and she will always know that. (Well that ending was not really convincing concerning marc, who does not really suit her, especially since you wrote Nikki as someone that likely was already in love with her brother at age 12 and before and has been fighting against that for years and years before crossing the line with him)
Aside from that thanks, game did have a lot of humor and great moments even if I do feel sorry for Nikki at the end of the game whether you chose for her to be happy or not. Neither outcome seems to me one where she could be really happy long term.
Edit: i guess that is why many have a sad taste in the end with the game, though Molly is a very nice girl and Tales might be happy after, loads of us care more for Nikki and her endings are sad, even if you probably think you gave her one happy ending ......
