So, i like the renders - although it would be really nice to see some different facial expressions used! (i get why he does this, it makes for a quick pipeline, but i swear all 3 games have only 4 or 5 fixed expressions that all the models use). The models are not overly doing anything for me at the moment but that may change (maybe i'm just jaded with the style?)
However, I really don't like the dialogue - it feels they're trying to make it all deep and complex but to me if you're going to try that it has to be written well - sorry, but in my opinion it isn't.
Some of the dialog is so stilted and artificial (and Melody was similar), others i was face-palming thinking WHAT? - why would anyone say that to someone you just met? And a lot of it is just plain boring - DMD was simple (at least at the start), Melody started the trend for endless dialog and I found myself skipping all the time towards the end. And now the new game, I'm already skipping dialog because it is so dull and its only the first release. I'm not looking for instant action - i liked the slow burn in DMD (though personally i think its time that game was just finished off TBH), but i feel this is just padded out with so much dialog it could be a much shorter game & not suffer at all.
Also not keen on the MC - he's acting like a dick (guess maybe deliberate at the moment?) - his sister's boyfriend comes back unexpectedly from away & he's pissed that she goes to see him. I mean, ok, maybe be a bit annoyed but he acts like a spoiled kid
And the text - personally I find it hard to read at times because there is no opaque background at all - and that doesn't help endear the writing to me!
I will persevere, but i really don't want to play a game i just skip all the text in - might as well just watch porn.
Each to their own - i know a lot of people will probably love this but it is just not doing it for me at the moment.
Anyway - first time i've written anything about a game so go easy on me
