well unfortunately NTR and cheating are big, problematic subjects around here. many threads got struck by banhammer of mods because of offtopic talks and guess what? almost always there was an argument about NTR/cheating. there's for sure too much sensitivity about something you can avoid. I even remember someone posted a negative review about a game with similar features (avoidable NTR, could just turn it off at the start) and his reasoning was "he was missing out on content because he didn't like NTR". like dude, it's not like that's the only porn game in existence. if you don't like it, leave it to its fans. it's not like porn is your real life
Well, SFOW obviously didn't do it because some people complained, but because they wanted to tap into that huge playerbase to get additional revenue. You either write a game that appeals to the mainstream or you don't. In this case your complaint should really be directed at SOFW and not at those who don't like a certain kind of content. I think we agree that nobody would expect people to pay for a game they don't like.
Nope, never been brought up in this thread before.... Or maybe... that search feature up there can help you, or maybe the OP can too..
is that sarcasm? xD i genuinely don't know and i tried looking but i couldn't seem to find it. def would love a solution bc i waited hours to download it (':
Exactly. It's the fact that the developer wants to tap into more sales...which seems to be a pretty reasonable goal, it's just like other members mentioned already - their 'solution' handles the issue so poorly that they might as well have not made any changes to begin with and just gone balls to the wall on cuck type content with the mantics for the crowd that's into that. To me, not having to watch the scenes themselves isn't much of an improvement if the dialogue and codex entries referencing the events are still intact during the story. As myself and others have covered already this was actually pretty easy to avoid unless the xeno content is so deeply integrated into the narrative that it's unavoidable no matter what (a key reason to wait until the game is at v1.0 before even considering purchasing it).
You need the crack files - they are in the OP I believe, but you can also just scroll up the thread a bit. I believe some others posted links to pre-cracked sources of the game.
It's probably the most posted about thing next to the whole ntr debacle.. in the thread
, so yeah...
I don't want any shooting in GTA5, I just want the driving, and no guns and all that violence.... I don't want the cops to start chase me if I run people over either... how about it, can you make that happen?
It's not quite that black and white and I agree that every game is not made for everyone. This one is a gray zone currently. The studio clearly knows there's a good chunk of their target audience (normies) that aren't into the xeno / cuck stuff. And we know they are targeting normies with this game given how they (even Valen noted this) changed some of the forced content that they know is a turn-off to that demographic, but as others noted, this really wasn't a solution since they still contain narrative references to the content. So given what we know, the studio seems like they WANT people who are more into vanilla / romance content to buy their game, but there is a bit of a conflict with some of the content, there.
Can you fill us in on what happened with this? I'm not familiar with this company, so just curious what happened? What made them decide to change their content, exactly, was there an incident of some kind, etc.?NLT Media was also in a similar situation and made the right decision to cut all the comic sensitivities thing like sharing, swinging, gangbang, rape ... etc when making video games to focus on vanilla route and making huge success. Fow Studio wants to satisfy both old and new fan and get caught up in this headache
That's the problem with trying to appeal to a purely vanilla audience when the core of your game is just supposed to be wacky sex for all parties. There will always be those vanilla fans that will not be satisfied until the game has absolutely no mentions or even slight implications of these things. The only way to purely solve this problem is to either only appeal to one audience, which will likely fuck us monster sex fans over, or completely lock the different sides of content off with a main menu kill switch.
Well, the complaints obviously didn't help. Even the staff within the discord on launch were answering critic on the system with it being changed to not upset those who don't want to see it. But yeah, we don't need to argue why they changed it. The best thing they can do is fix this change to make it more organic and less lazy. People on their Discord, their Reddit, and their Steam have all been suggesting the same kind of fix. What's left is to see if they actually take the feedback into account and try working around that idea. Nobody is saying they should take orders from their player base, but a sign of non-shit game dev is at least listening to what of the most agreed about critic your EA game is having and trying to build upon making it better. When almost everyone in the most opposing groups of fetish fanbase (the vanilla whiners vs everyone else) are able to agree that they'd be happy for a single main menu button to make these things simply not appear, then why is it so hard to build on that?
It's quite simple. They grew up, they got a proper game studio. They hired even more people, there is wages and bills to be paid. They are already making a game for a very small niche market in the game industry. There is nothing more wrong with doing that for them, than you have creators on patreon that bombard their games with a billion tags/fetishes to reach as many as possible. The effect is the same, people get upset, because they can't have the entire cake and eat it too.
You won't even need a switch. Just look Summertime Saga for example, which hides its "controversial" trans-content behind a well written two tier ingame choice. Up to this day there are players who played the whole game and who have no idea that the game even has this kind of content while those who like will reach it naturally (and can still decline if they don't want to see it in their playthrough). It's really not that hard if someone is willing to spend a little time and effort on it. Sure, a switch would be fine too but that's already kinda the cheap solution.
Maybe you shouldn't buy grand thieft auto and instead buy big rigs, lol.
So critique is nonexistent in your world? Imagine hoi4, but where you cant play axis because some vocal idiots thinks it promotes fascism, but you are not suppose to say that its dumb.
Exactly and that is where you don't buy such games. There is a difference between critique something, and want changes that applies to your own preference. Because, screw all those other people right? There will always be unhappy people about something. And still the best thing is.. if you don't like something, stay away from it. Very simple that...
There is no difference. When you critique something, it implies that something needs to change to make object of your critique better, at least in your own eyes, especially when its not about someone's preferences but base game feature being done poorly compared to analogues.
No, because everyone have ideas for changes that would in their eyes make things better. It's subjective to your preference, regardless if you have other people that agree with you or not. Because there is other people out there with other ideas that you wouldn't like at all. Imagine they would implement every idea and suggestion people throw at them. How great a game that would make right?
