Man, I've been turned off from trying this game for so long due to the art, but now that I did, I regret not getting in on the train earlier. It's pretty damn good, and even if the art is not WoL levels of good, it still has its own unique charm to it that I've come to really enjoy.
Although, maybe the only real complaint I have is how pretty much every LI is a slut and doesn't seem to shy away from telling the MC that at every turn. I'm glad that NTR seems to be completely optional, at least so far (I'm about to go to the casino with Alice and Michael), but hey, I wish I didn't have to hear how everyone has handled dick before in pretty much every sex scene xD
Besides, defloration is hot as fuck
People are always so fuckin judgy when they don't even play the full game *cough* *cough*
Be it the art or NTR, there's always something someone has to bitch about.
1. No one with common sense reads NTR for the plot. Unless you quite literally hate yourself to personally invest yourself like you are the guy getting cucked (deeper meaning you some people automatically go to that?). To me, NTR is just another sex scenes, and in my experience; is even done better than vanilla (not in this case).
2. Everyone cries about the art. Why is it that you can't like unrealistic work? I'm sorry, did you (not you specifically but also you) read/play porn for realism? Is that what you think DAZ is, realistic?
1. A game I've been checking out lately is "Being Super." It follows a sort of "Invincible" style story in which you play as a superhuman who's dad was basically Omni Man. It's up to your choices whether or not you use your powers for good, or like your father. I enjoy it so far as a build up just for the freedom of choice, but one of my biggest problems with the action is it, like the rest of the game: is portrayed by cringey ass motherfucking DAZ models. Can be good for sex, but by NO means is it normally EVER good for action (shout-out to Desert Stalker).
2. More to my point, Superhuman doesn't have this problem, it's hand drawn. I don't know why anyone in their right mind thought within the first chunk of the game, when you encounter a monster; to even THINK that would look better or even in DAZ (or even doable) is ludicrous. Because those are the only real options.
3D, 2D, or RPGM 2D.
-RPGM CAN be good (Succubus Covenant), and would probably be the 2nd best option for a game like this; but in most cases is tedious, overbearing, and grindy.
-3D is like your DAZ or your STUPID anime style 3D (Mystic Manor like style for ref.). BOTH of which would be god awful for an action focused game. From the effects of the powers, to the cringey looking facial expressions, "blood" marks, or even backgrounds, it would ALL be far worse than a 2DCG with no limitations other than imagination.
-The 2D isn't perfect I get that, but given the genre of action focused and abilities and what have you, anything is better than DAZ or any kind of limited clunky 3D. This isn't a multi million dollar company with Unreal Engine, this is one guy/gal,AND their first game to boot, cut them some slack and give them a chance.
3. Continuing with my final point; WW hasn't really failed us to date. I've been following the game since it's first release, and since going on upwards of a year; we are STILL getting consistent updates. No major delays, no lack of sex scenes, constant patreon teasers and NOT JUST pinups, personal update threads, etc. And yet people still have the nerve to whine and bitch about the smallest things. "Alice's tits are too big!","The proportions are wrong!" blah blah blah, it's porn god damn it, it's not your fantasy irl girlfriend. As of V0.921, there is upwards of 88 if not 90 sex scenes, anything from gender bending, NTR, tentacle, you name it, and literally ALL of it, even the straight stuff, is AVOIDABLE minus 2, 2 whole scenes! Even when WW's hard drive was pretty much completely wiped, he/she still pushed back, only with like a week or 2 of a delay; most other devs would've had an unannounced hiatus or even downright abandoned the game all together.
Sorry the rant is so long, but whenever I see someone say, "I was skeptical of the art" or "When I first played (v0.1) it left a lot to be desired" or even "NTR? Gender Bending? I'm out, I'm not a cuck or gay (probably are)", it always grinds my ass. I'm glad you're enjoying it now, I really am, but you've got to play further than half of the beginning or even just make it past the first arc before you either give up or criticize the game just because you were too lazy and didn't fit your generic agenda; only to praise it later.
Rant over, happy holidays...
