Do have to just jump in here being that Wildlife got brought up again. Given their Kickstarter went up a few days ago and its not exactly off to the races like Subverse was.
It's kinda funny. Because their goal is shy of what they actually make over 3 months on Patreon. Their post on the steam forum says it will go towards complete the game, almost sounding they can't without. Maybe the poor start reflect the state of their patreon. Large part of those that do support already do so through Patreon and maybe not inclined to splurge on Kickstarter in addition.
In regards to the camera, some people including me were talking about options about perspective shots many pages back. I think that some of the Pandora scenes can have more angles for camera options but some obviously can't. Like the example with Cyberpunk, there are tons of media that are purposely made for specific camera angles and perspective. Probably the most well known and successful example is all of Arc System Works' 3d games. They stretch out and morph their character models drastically for any given in-game cinematic and this looks horrible if the camera angle changes.
Think it's funny, how people wanting total control and camera freedom over scenes in Pandora, draw parallels to people want total access to mod games as they please as well. Still remember people going nuts on TaleWorlds over MB Bannerlord2, because they didn't get full access to mod the game as they wanted. And people hacking together a online version of the game that is abysmal crap, just for them to say. Oh you where wrong TaleWorlds, we can have a online version of the game. Disregarding it wouldn't be possible to apply such online play within the single player campaign of the game, and no such online mp campaign was ever promised or set out to be created.
What makes a good or bad game is a matter of who rates it. This is a community for 18+ games so it will generally be rated based on 18+ content and the way the 18+ content synergizes with gameplay. The 18+ content within many of the games posted here is what brings them from mediocre to notable, without the 18+ content they wouldn't be, but without that they also wouldn't be posted here.
That's overly simplify things. That's like saying This is a community for 18+ games. So all games with incest should be liked by all. All games with ntr should be liked by all, and so forth, because its games for 18+....
Says I'm oversimplifying things
You made it sound like because 18+ site, then users of the community knew how best to rate a 18+ game. But, end of the day we are all different with different views, tastes, fetishes, and so forth. Your experience of a thing differs from others. All over this site you see people argue of things in a games based on their views and opinions. Reviews and ratings isn't objective. They more follow the cross section of general opinion. The more bad one thing is, the more people leaning in that direction. Funny enough looking at the steam reviews made by people who own the game, so far it listed at 81% positive with 8986 reviews.
I mean, that's kinda the point of specialized communities. It's the same with things like hifi, movies generes, book generes, music generes and basically every other specialized community out there. The people who are on there will know more about that topic/genere on average and will care more about that topic/genere on average. It's just a matter of reality.
Mystwood Manor is actually a good example on how Subverse could/should have done it or should do it and is a really good game to compare. Yes, it's a managing game and not a very good one at that, but due to the way the game is structured and the pictures, cut scenes, lewd scenes etc. are implemented, the erotic tension is almost constant while not feeling out of place. It doesn't have these massive shifts like Subverse, where you can literally play hours between some of the recruitment scenes without getting a scene or in fact anything that's actually erotic unless you yourself permanently go back to pandora. With Subverse it's basicallly the feeling of either "100% sex" or basically nothing/very little erotic actually worth mentioning. The problem in this case isn't really that pandora exists, but that there's very, very little outside of it.
Subverse not even half way done. Mystwood had all girls unlocked, and you reached sex with them. Content wise Mystwood is leaps ahead in development, but at like their 2nd content update, it wasn't so. They not that different when it come to adding content. You did only start out with 2 characters in Mystwood, no lewd stuff to fap too. (unless you so desperate you fap to a nipple slip).
