My opinions, and they are just opinions.I'm about to dive into this game, and I notice in the ratings it doesn't seem to get the same love as lust epidemic or treasures of nadia. What's the rub that people don't seem to like as much about this game?
Personally, I preferred the story and gameplay of LE and TON. Clearly the graphics of LE are not as good but I think it had the best story and gameplay of the three. If I include graphics then TON is my favourite of the three - TGO may have slightly better graphics but the story and gameplay aren’t as good.
The other issue might be that the TON and TGO did not really add anything to LE other than graphical improvement. They all play pretty much the same, with TON it opened up the play area with a bigger environment and there was a significant graphical improvement so it was readily accepted as a sequel. But TGO did not really add any more, there was a slight graphical improvement but otherwise it doesn’t add anything. It feels like you are playing the same game again, some like the idea of familiarity and more of what they like but others might feel it is a little jaded bring no new ideas.
But I enjoyed all three and look forward to the fourth - but you have to like one more than the others and, for me, that is TON.
