>People only criticize Koda in two ways
Debunked here in my second paragraph
>Criticisms about Koda's writing aren't applicable because they're being made while comparing him to someone whose writing wouldn't fit into ToT
a) Koda conceded about half of my criticisms of his writing, and me comparing him to Thresh was just like one or two points out of six or eight that I brought up, you go ahead and dig that post up if you want the exact numbers
b) I'm having a friendly discussion with Holefiller about this right now because he has actually played through MGD, and seems generally more intelligent than you are
Also I find it funny that you replaced your silly wojak meme for some generic anime girl one after the awful reception that it got. At least stick to your guns dude lol
And lastly, "you have no argument" is not an argument.
I know I'm too was found of that one, also he didn't reuse the sweaty-bra stockined foot in your face while flaunting her very perky and young bosom in the air handjobbing Ethan one. Truly a sad reality we live in.>except the one whefe she put her foot in your mouth
How could koda drop the ball this hard, see you guys late august when jester drops
UhhHow do I check what my toxicology level is?
lmao tell me about itCan we all agree that this update was a complete bait and switch? They love to hype up tiny ass updates.
>Completely ignoring half of my argument and moving the goalpostsMy post was about his writing and how it fits into the game and that Koda's role wasn't that of a being solely a programmer.
This is factually incorrect. Not only are there many more criticisms of Koda, but the criticisms about his writing aren't even limited to comparisons being made between him and other writers. I'm still waiting for you to retract this dumb statement of yours.The fact that Koda delays the updates is known to everyone, but that is the only primary critique of him. The others are purely superficial and rely on comparing his writing to others which wouldn't be applicable in the game at all.
My assumption that you haven't played MGD at length is a pretty safe one to make because you seem to be under the impression that all writing in that game is "pure descriptive" like you put it, when in fact, like I was discussing with Holefiller, many segments of that game have more psychological, mindgamey stuff that wouldn't feel out of place in one of Koda's expansions. As for the ad-hom, how rich is it that you're complaining about it after having written this beforehand:>Dude ad-hominems lmao
Firstly, keep your assumptions to yourself. Secondly, having a visual medium constricts descriptive narratives.
Which leads us to...>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, YOU DON'T AGREE WITH ME. HOW DARE YOU? YOU'RE PROBABLY STUPID AND HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME LMAO
is not criticism and if you believe it to be so, then here is my reply to you.
*triggered wojak meme*
I know, I was just clowning on you.>dude non-sequitur lmao
Ah, I knew the irony would be lost on you, which is why I ended up deleting that last part... Thanks for living up to my expectations.And lastly, ""you have no argument" is not an argument" is not an argument.
There's like; 238,472,349 maledom games and 11 femdom games. The people interested in maledom shouldn't be playing this game whatsoever.so far have played your game a fwew times .
and i had this taught that you might make it that after al our hard work /grind we get the option to turn the tables on the ladies.
so we can be the one to finaly dominate them.
it would give room for lots of new content plus a hefty upgrade in people interested no?
>This is factually incorrect. Not only are there many more criticisms of Koda.>Completely ignoring half of my argument and moving the goalposts
The part of your original post that I took issue with was obviously the one I quoted here, I feel like this should be obvious.
Oh well, here we go again.

Look at this dood trying to weasel out of his dumb statement.>This is factually incorrect. Not only are there many more criticisms of Koda.
The major criticisms of his relates to the delays.
>but the criticisms about his writing aren't even limited to comparisons being made between him and other writers. I'm still waiting for you to retract this dumb statement of yours.
I'd like you to state which relate solely to his writing and do not in any way pertain to the story or of being forced into certain situations.

Do you understand what "primarily" means? MGD is primarily descriptive. In this sense, you could call ToT descriptive as well.
>As for the ad-hom, how rich is it that you're complaining about it after having written this beforehand:
It's mocking your post for being what it is: hollow and without any actual critique.
I should have used "or" there, but the fact still remains that his main issue is that of delaying the game or that which relate to the act of delaying the game, and, at least to me, most of his critiques, not pertaining to the aforementioned issues, are superficial.Look at this dood trying to weasel out of his dumb statement.
It's obvious what you meant when you said there's only one "primary critique" of Koda. You weren't saying "The thing that bothers people the most about Koda are his delays", like you are now pretending. What you meant to say was "If you take the delays out of the equation, Koda is an outstanding developer", this is clear as day. In your next sentence, "The others [critiques] are purely superficial and rely on comparing his writing to others which wouldn't be applicable in the game at all.", you completely ignore the other major issues that people have with Koda as a developer not pertaining to his writing... Almost like to you there aren't any (because you weren't aware of them, yikes).
Here the fix verThe mega link for the fix was taken down, is there any other link?
Koda is only a good writer if you compare him to other porn game writers, most of which barely speak English.
I don't know which parts of the story were written by him and which by Bo, but ToT's story is full of unexplained stuff and crap you'd see out of a shounen anime (and a mediocre one at that). I'm willing to bet Koda is partly responsible for this because of his obsession with power levels. Remember that time he kept rambling about his favourite girl's obscene power level?
Ethan said it best right here:
View attachment 337793
Koda's obvious favoritism towards Cobra is also a good indicator that he's not a great writer.
All the girls are very one-note, their expansions don't change their one-dimensionality. They all have the same goal of wanting to dominate young boys, and their motivations are either really dumb or non-existent.
Also the idea that every girl is secretly super powerful and they're just letting Ethan pass through their respective floors because they feel like they'll end up enslaving him anyways, is just plain stupid, and creates a bunch of other plotholes.
The world-building has been awful from day one. Basically TLA+Pokemon, which doesn't make a lot of sense because people aren't like Pokemon (A firebender wouldn't be psysically hurt by you throwing water at them like a Fire Pokemon would). And also anyone can learn moves of any type, there's a reason why not every bender in TLA is the avatar, or why the only Pokemon who can learn every move is Mew. If you're gonna give everyone everything then why bother creating distinctions? It's bad they forget about it on ocassion, like for Karen, we don't know what her "type" is.
Koda also seems to have this way of writing everyone's dialogue that is way too similar. You can easily imagine half of the things Khulan is saying coming from Cobra's mouth, despite how different those two girls are supposed to be. He can't express a girl being seductive/teasing enough with words that he has to overuse the '~' symbol. And I do mean overuse, he'll use it literally 20 times in a single encounter with any girl. Sometimes he even uses heart emojis, ffs. And another one of his writing ticks is having girls say 'Hmhm'.
As for the porn itself, I realized Koda's wasn't that great when I found other erotic writing that was WAY hotter for me in Monster Girl Dreams. Koda will seldom talk about the sexual act being performed which imo is the whole point of a porn game, and will instead try and expand into how Ethan feels, which can take you out of it if you aren't feeling the same thing's Ethan is feeling. Most of his scenes he has to come up with these awful metaphors that the girls will tell Ethan while they dominate him, like Lily's "My toes are the vanguard breaking your defenses". I doubt anyone is getting turned on by Koda's writing when he comes up with these silly metaphors, they're probaly just getting turned on by the situation Ethan's in instead.
It all comes down to this. How replayable is this game to you? And I don't mean doing the EX fights over and over, I mean how many times have you repeatedly watched the same scenes and gotten aroused by them? For me ToT isn't all that replayable, I have to do some hardcore roleplay if I wanna enjoy most of the stuff in this game that I've seen already, and most of the time Koda's writing explaining how Ethan feels at any given moment completely fucks over that roleplay.
