Just disregard everything else that make the entire game right? Just the focus on such a loop? All the other movie sequences that part of the story etc, take no time or effort right?
Yeah, it's kind of an important loop. The MAIN GAMEPLAY LOOP of your porngame having no porn is a foundational problem. Why the game is bad. And boy do you not want us to lay back into the rest of the game.
Prerendered Cinematics
>Not porn
>unplayable on most systems due to the games poor optimization
They're so inconsequential to the "plot" it doesn't matter most players haven't even watched them due to the ram-buffer-loading issues that make them freeze and stutter out regardless of system specs. Product of their bloated, unoptimized, mess of a game.
Doesn't matter how pretty they may be, most aren't voiced and are just panning shots of random environments or explosions anyway. It was entirely wasted effort. Muh cinematics don't excuse 3 second liverendered loops for the games actual content.
Gameplay
>Xcom far worse than 1993 and the games it's copying, cobbled out of pre-purchased game assets where enemy units spawn on any free tile behind your lines
>Bullet hell only made "challenging" by game breaking bugs like spawning ships out of the physical bounds of the map.
>Upgrades not being required for either game type; no difficulty progression of needing new units or ship upgrades to even unlock, let alone actually win, any game mode.
You don't even need the new mantic unlocked to access their Pandora scenes. And where did the random ayy lmaos come from to fuck your girls? GG continuity we literally never knew you.
>Gold-bronze ranking that doesn't change your reward payout and isn't tracked anywhere. Gold for a near total party wipe or bronze for taking no damage all battle because it isn't attached to any metric.
Because ranking was just part of the asset pack, not part of their game design.
>Combat on a planet not being repeatable, meaning to get maximum PP points per girl you have to play with their shitty alt fires in space combat to farm points to feed into pandora.
The only thing that could have salvaged the "effort" as you call it would have been competent VN relationsim elements in the actual main game loop. That isn't there, at all, thanks to the "pandora system" copout. Simple as, but good luck getting that tidbit past their community managers.
If everything about the combat-exploration gameplay loop was 110% on point, the pandora system would still suck. People would still say it's a bad porngame. Hell, they may even have said it would have been better without being a porngame at all if the game was good in spite of it.
But no, the Combat gameplay loop is terrible freeware crap, making the Pandora system all the worse. Same goes for the prerendered cinematics. They make the actual PORN look worse. A perfect storm showing that they didn't know how to make a game, let alone a porn game, and apparently have no intention of trying.
The fact that this is you guys' attempt to circle the wagons in the face of clear evidence sycophantic community mods are actively silencing any form of criticism on their official media platforms, trying (if the core of FOW is truly staffed by idiots) to maintain the façade everything is fine to their higher ups while alienating their backers and paying customers, is telling.
