Can anyone tell me what's so great about "Leap of Faith"? I've read a lot of reviews and comments praising it as one of the best NV out there, but I'm just not drawn to the characters and I've already downloaded it 3 times trying to follow the story, but I'm so disinterested, I've only gotten as far as the part after the plane ride.
So I want to ask if something more interesting happens later.
Can anyone tell me what's so great about "City of Broken Dreamers" and "Eternum"? I've read a lot of reviews and comments praising it as one of the best AVNs out there, but I'm just not drawn to the characters and I've already downloaded both a few times trying to follow the story, but I'm so disinterested, I've dropped CoBD at chapter 5 and Eternum at chapter 2, and can't bring myself to continue. And yeah, I'm not just being snarky, I really can't continue playing these games, the porn scenes don't make up for the boredom and lack of interest in the plot.
You know, lately I don't even bother reading most of the reviews unless they're from people I know. I just give them to the AI and ask it to give me a summary of the so-called "thoughts" of the fellow zoners. I think you can do the same and understand the general public sentiment towards this game.
But I can still give my answer, for what it's worth. Since you're not even halfway through the game, I'll try to avoid spoilers.
You didn't say what exactly you find interesting, so how are we supposed to know? For some, the more kinky, the more interesting. For some, personal stories and relationships between characters are interesting, for others, a certain plot lines.
I'll just say that there's a pretty big and shocking twist at the end of the game, although I wouldn't say it's very unexpected. What makes it shocking to me is the emotional tone and the game's author's attitude towards it.
The vacation at Lexi's villa is probably the biggest and most entertaining scene in the game, overall I find it very good, and more interesting than what happened before.
For me, perhaps the most interesting moments in the game are the personal stories of the characters, their personalities, how they are revealed during the game, for example when they are playing Truth and Dare.
I also like some scenes, their emotionality and drama, or, on the contrary, the touching naivety and sincerity of the characters.
I like the overall rather bright, positive, goofy and carefree mood of the game, despite some rather dark topics that the author touches upon. As usual, all crises are resolved in favor of the main character and a happy ending is imminent.
There are definitely some sexy times in the game, and I think there are enough of them to consider it even too porny for this thread
These are my thoughts on what interesting things you can expect from this game.
Of course there is more than enough to criticize, often the characters behave cringe-worthy, some twists seem just comedic pretending to be serious, for example I just hate the whole Agent Panda storyline, I don't know, to me it looks like the "Chuck" TV Series. Frankly, when I started playing this game I didn't like it at all, the scene with Cece jumping in the second chapter (it was the second chapter, right?) and the MC catching her at the last second seemed too fake to me that at first I thought it was some kind of prank. Good thing there was no The Boys back then.
But I know I wasn't entirely fair and jumped (no pun intended) to conclusions too quickly without knowing her background and motivations. It was a good lesson: don't be too quick to criticize, especially if the game isn't finished yet (which was the case when I played it).
Well, let's move on. I don't like that the author introduced a bunch of characters into the game and outlined many plot lines, but didn't develop them at all. The ending of the game seems to me to be somewhat rushed, I think, there could have been enough content for another game like this. But that's just my opinion.
You know what. Your post actually answers your question, you said you weren't drawn to the characters and the plot wasn't interesting. As one good dev said "a game for everyone is a game for no one."
Just find other games you enjoy and come back to this one if you ever feel like it.
