You're making the assumption, there's absolutely no reason to come to this conclusion. There are plenty of people agreeing with you and plenty agreeing with me, so why be pedantic? If I qualified the use of "we" as though I'd said, "we, every last person in this thread", I could understand - but you're literally arguing over nothing with no basis in the use of English language. I invite now as the time for you to provide evidence from a recognized authority on English to prove what you're saying. You can't. Please don't lecture people on a language you don't understand.
You "dislike the way of trying to sound impactful"? Aren't you familiar with the ways language is used to express ideas? I don't understand why this would upset you so much.
I never said or implied "fucky-fucky" creates a narrative. It's a porn game, so to some extent the sexual content and narrative must intertwine. In my opinion (if that wasn't clear enough), and I can express my opinion as can anyone else in this DISCUSSION thread: the wheels are coming off and this story is racing into boredom and irrelevance because it doesn't reconcile fucking with story. Fucking is part of the story. I don't have Hopes' words written on the inside of my eyelids so I don't know what he said and I don't care. I can complain all I like and so can anybody else, nothing about that is moot because this is the exact place for that kind of dialogue. If you want to worship devs and not have reasonable discussions, Discord is the place for you, not this pirate forum. Since you're just going to assume what I think and start talking about implications that don't exist, why don't you tell me why porn is in this narrative-focused game at all? Because now you're talking like the game isn't meant to be titillating and that makes no sense whatsoever. Don't you understand that pay-off for characters in the game is about having a narrative that makes sense of the sex scenes? Not just going on and on forever? Who apart from you is calling that a moot point? In fact, there seems to be enough people concerned about it if you'd just read the thread.
I didn't go through every single post, but I saw enough (well I did see your initial post and couple others), and lol.
As Carta stated, Hopes stated from the very start that DeLuca was going to be a story first focused game.
There will be sex/bed action, but full sex won't arrive until it is fitting for the story.
So to go on complaining "Can't fuck the main girls yet."
lmao, do you even hear yourself?
F95zone (a.k.a. the Zone), is an adult games website.
Not every game will have the girls jump the MC's bones the first chance they get.
There's plenty of games by devs on this website which take the slow burn approach toward the LIs which a lot of the fanbase are in it for the story, rather than the sex (and games like Hillside, and Summer's Gone 2 quite popular games, don't have sex scenes yet, but even so are great games).
- The DeLuca Family (obviously)
- Hillside by DarkBlue
- Rebirth by LikesBlondes
- Summer's Gone by OceanLab
- A Father's Sins by Pixieblink
- Price of Power by Pandaman games
There should be more, but those are the ones which come to my mind at the moment.
And people for these games are primarily in it for the story, with sex being the icing on the cake for them.
You seem like a person who thinks of the sex being the main cake (and thus, is unlikely the main target audience of Hopes to begin with).
And to add further, there are even games on this site which has zero sex scenes (like The House in Fata Morgana) yet has great storyline, so any possible argument you may raise saying "This is a porn game website" is just.... nonsense.
F95zone is an Adult game website, and in that very wide "Adult game" umbrella, it houses porn/quick-fap games, but also slow-burn, more story oriented games (that will have sex in them) like DeLuca and others.
In the end, it's just you're not the target audience/players (so you have only yourself to blame, for not realizing sooner what kind of game this is lol).
