The high quality and attention to every aspect of the game, graphics, story, characters, relationship development, dialogue, music and their combination in the game, that's what makes SG unique to me.
Just a thought for your sentence. In some cases, a few dialogue are quite confusing or funny, I don't even know which is the better term. When I translate the text into my native language in my head, some words and sentences are so foreign that I have to throw them into Google Translate and figure out what the dialogue really means. Regardless, Summer's Gone is one of my favorite AVN, for exactly the things you listed.
Another thing is that here, as in any community, there are a lot of... interesting types
Have you read the "12 rules" dude post, where he/she teaches the devs how to make a good game?
Yeah, those so-called "rules" are totally ridiculus. Especially the first (you are NOT a real writer), the second (No long dialogues, don't waste players' time with nonsense) and the tenth (Read the comments, especially the negative ones). When I read those rules, I couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry. No long dialogues? WTF? How should be told a story, especially the presentation of the characters and the environment, if not with long dialogues?
So I think it's impossible to avoid complaints, demands and insults (which they call "criticism"), but there is certainly a way to stay calm and not get triggered by random accusations: the ignore function is your best friend! It's pity that I realized this too late.
I agree with you, it is impossible to avoid complaints, and almost impossible not to respond some accusations. Sometimes I really want to reply to a post, but as I'm writing, I realize it's a waste of time.
