So that’s another one lost to the flock. Ah well can’t say I didn’t try. Sucks that folks would rather be pessimistic than optimistic, but can’t always change people’s minds. But I can discuss without slinging insults, while taking in all the shill/paid/secret employee fire willingly.
I am well aware the game is not perfect. That isn’t in question, but what in development game is? Opinions are fine but there is a line between constructive criticism and claiming the devs are lazy or taking shortcuts. Do you know what goes into the redoing of a scene? I don’t, but I sincerely doubt that it is as simple as a cut and paste action. Far as I know none of us have made a game, let alone in an engine like UE4. So what goes on behind the scenes isn’t something we can truly factor into it.
What I can see is a developer that actively reads everything on its discord feedback channel, that has kept up its monthly updates, that explained its large gap between launch and its first major content addition. That acknowledged its faults and stated how it wanted to progress moving forward. And has successfully made the projected timeframe for the next update.
How many ’AAA’ games have we seen have had things go wrong and the devs blame their QA department, or crunch their workers to make a timeframe, and will go dark for months or even years before updating their customers?
This is why I am a fan of FOW’s, because they are so antithetical to what typical game devs have become. They aren’t discussing the dlc because the base game isn’t done, there’s no season pass, no microtransactions for PP points, no lootboxes to determine what scenes you unlock, no episode format to releases so you have to buy each new girl. You pay the already discounted price now, and you’re entitled to a full game. A GAME that happens to have adult content in it.
Even if you were to remove the Pandora system and its scenes, you’d still have a story about a raunchy crew attempting to overthrow an abstinence-based empire. But it’s there as a reward for spending time with the ladies, unlocking not just smut, but personal conversations with them that reveal more about them, eventually culminating in a personal quest that’ll cap off with a longer animation that you’ve been thirsting for so much. That’s called creating anticipation.
Just try to consider that before you equate the work of dozens of people down to just 3 second gifs.
