How's the new version?Still lackluster?
Of course it is. They’ve made no intelligent decisions in years. Spoils of War 1 was their most unplayable, off-putting, least rewarding game, but one outspoken Patreon supporter who loves it, convinced them to waste years on making a sequel.
They used to use stolen photos of European models. The photos were stolen and that needed to change, but the pictures used to be shot by professional photographers, and the women were perfectly cast for the roles they played. Now they hire overweight, aging porn stars who are totally miscast for the roles, who can’t act at all, and they pay these women to film themselves. They use inadequate lighting, photography, directing, camera angles, and they have no acting skills, so these scenes just show completely miscast actresses in roles they don’t suit at all, blandly reading lines, and it’s just plain terrible visual storytelling. IMO, they should have used 3d assets.
I would love Selectacorp-style, “exec-to-sec” storytelling with good Daz models in a Renpy engine. They’ve chosen instead to devote years to repeating their worst mistakes: tedious, buggy gaming engines, with women who don’t suit their roles and incompetent performances.
