S1nsational about people despising some genres
Some genres are always frowned upon as niche. Adult whatever is for perverts. Comic books are for kids. Fantasy and SciFi are for nerds. Videogames are for losers. The combination of two or more of those genres makes some people's heads explode.
Then Watchmen (graphic novel) appeared and the comic was for people of culture. The Lord of the Rings (movies) came; everyone loved Fantasy and started reading the books. Fallout TV Series? The same. One Piece (Real action TV series)? Oh, Manga and Anime perhaps aren't as bad.

The only thing thing that demonstrates is that those "derogators" of genres are only a bunch of snobs who can't see beyond the mainstream.

PrivilegedCholo about your "it's a porn VN"
And I disagree with you. It's not a porn VN. It's a story with explicit sex, not about porn. If it wasn't for Holywood's prudeness, movies would be like this, instead of seeing people who theoretically spend the night fucking and then they wake up decently clothed.

AslanBalaur about your post

And hey!! Glad to see the self-awareness that the MC is bad construction worker! I used to do kitchen cabinetry and furniture, but even I can demo a fence better than he did!
As for Lisa,, I view harem games sort of like Pokemon,, gotta get them all!!

LOVE My Dorm, and hope that it keeps being an awesome story for a LONG time to come!

Live Long and Prosper.

He has no fucking idea about how to demolish a fence. He looked at some YouTube videos (not the best ones) and went for it. The guy has the will to have the job done, but lacks the skills and knowledge. That scene is loosely based on my brother and his plumbing "fixes" to save some money. My father's sentence when he saw the result was "Why would you spend 500€ hiring a professional if you can spend 200€ and a lot of effort doing a mess that will cost 1,000€ to fix and a lot of work on my part?". I wasn't there, but it became a family joke every time my brother said "I'll do it".

I never read reviews, whether it's for an AVN on here, a movie review, a restaurant review. Everybody's tastes are different. I want to find out for myself, my preferences probably won't match up with more than half the people doing the reviews. So why bother?

Most people don't read reviews (or even the OP ) on these sites, but everyone sees the average "points". Imagine this: a player is looking for a new game to play and he sees two games he never heard about in the Latest Games page and has to decide which one to play. They have the same tags and similar renders. One has 3.5 stars and the other has 1.7 stars. Most players won't even think about the 1.7-star game twice. And perhaps it has a (fair) 5-star and 5 (lying) 1-star reviews (because the dev was an asshole treating his players in his last game). That's the importance of reviews in a corrupted system like this one.

I feel a bit brutalized. No, not even Vaseline will help.

Having an opinion, is fine and dandy. It is even recommended.

When you impose a gag on pointing inconsistencies, lies, misinterpretations or plain malevolence, the opinion loses all importance and/or relevance. Suffocating dissent, is quite good as a means to create dissatisfaction, disinterest and apathy. It is no longer a discourse.

Each day it becomes less interesting to even bother...

Peace

I'm sure a lot of people would do that. I personally would not. I would give both equal consideration as to whether or not I would try them. Sometimes it's just hard to find something you like (depending on the tag you're looking for) and you need try out the 1 or 2 star rated game. I've found some that I like that way a few times.

I must be way different then. I see a new or updated game first thing I look at are the tags. Does that game have the tags that I like. The next thing I do is go to the thread and read the last 5-6 pages of thread and see what people are commenting about the game and to see if the dev is in the thread or does the dev have one of their patrons post updates and such about the game. Reviews to me are useless in the most cases.

After the first week here, I stopped reading reviews. I also stopped giving any credence to the ratings.

I look at Tags. If it has tags I dislike, but a majority of tags I like, I may check if there's any talk about them being (Optional). In most cases, I press Ignore thread. If the tags ratio is unbalanced towards the ones I've learned to not be worth my time, I go to the thread ONLY to ignore it. It is quite rare that I find only Tags I like.

Peace

And for the stupidest reason. It says "Don't debate review rating in the game thread".

Dear moderators: No one was debating the rating. We debated about his/her words. Either you do something to clarify your own rules (add something like "reviews are like Voldemort and can't be talked about. You devs should accept the lies someone vomits about your game" (and I'm not talking about that specific review)) or attach to them (don't delete posts talking about the review and NOT the rating). It's hard for us to comply with a rule that doesn't exist.
Or you can give us tools to answer those lies in the review section.
Thanks.

Exactly.

The last few times they deleted posts, it was for really weird and non-valid reasons. One was that we were not talking about the game.... when we actually talked about the game.

How can we understand rules if even the moderators dont?

 

[txe320]

As I've come to realize, after a bit of a heated discussion with a mod, they basically make up their own reasons to delete stuff they don't like. While they base their own decisions on the actual rules, they override that by how they personally interpret the rules.

It's like givin a monkey the power of editing.

So, they are basically jellyfish?

Noted.

¿Cholo?....¿"El hijo de Superman" ? ("the son of Superman; local comic strip in an Urug. newspaper where "Cholo" is a guy next door with super powers satiric series like "Mafalda" or "Mordillo")

I just check out games that have tags I like and don't ever look at the reviews. I know pretty quickly if a game and I are gonna get along, and bandwidth isn't an issue for me.

Hmm I assumed it was the US slang usage, but maybe it's referential.

Tags are important. Helpful with negative selection. If there's something I don't like, I don't touch the game. Graphics are a positive choice. When I start playing, what matters is how the action develops.

I hate to say it, but it may be that to "fix" the review problem might take some work on our (freeloader fans) end. I know that when I imdb a show or movie and look at the rating, it is pretty much useless until the # of people who gave it a rating climbs into the thousands. Most of the first posters give a high/perfect score because they are the mindless minions of a franchise or were cast/crew/publicicsts for the production . Then the inevitable trolls/haters post their grades based on what they have heard about how this show/film will destroy their "pure" society. It's only when enough honest reviews are made that a rating slowly approaches a reasonable estimate of the quality of the content.

So here's the rough part: probably the only way to cancel out the troll reviews is for all of us to post honest reviews of all the games we follow/enjoy.

I've never posted a review and only looked at a few - mostly by accident when clicking the wrong link - so I'm as much to blame as anyone. And of course this would not solve the problem the recent debate here has discussed - when a dumb review says incorrect things and there is no way to correct that.

Spoiler: rules question not about this game so "off topic"

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

But in the end fans posting realistic reviews would slowly drown out those malicious reviews and give those users who rely on reviews when deciding what games to try a more honest picture of what a game is. I am not someone who relies on reviews, but I think I will make an effort from now on to post an honest review for my favorite games, if only to make sure one troll wih an agenda can't cause a game not get played by users who would like it.

Helping people is a very hard job to do - Batman and Superman have so little family or relationship time that Bruce has to fake orgies by throwing money away even tho he is beat most of the time from his batman adventures and he literally sleeps like a rock, when he is not binging evidence in the cave. Superman is even more out there in the sense that he literally has to use his superheo time to meet Lois and be a family with her by saving her or taking here places he goes hero at.

White knight is a state of mind - it is the opposite to a whoremonger / ladies man / manwhore where the hero simply does the saving, not the coming on to girls hard part of enjoying girls company.

Making pure stories where human being is the plot and the reason and the endearing part of the intrigue, that is hard - you have to steer clear of many pit falls of strong arming some characters to get a scene going.

You know the rules

I just read it because of your comment and.... well...looks like I lost 2 minutes of my life reading his nonsense

But in the end fans posting realistic reviews would slowly drown out those malicious reviews and give those users who rely on reviews when deciding what games to try a more honest picture of what a game is.

How about letting this whole feud go? MC could have said it was not his business to help the only family he knows, being a handy man for the whole household or hold the hand for any and all the girls who would need to feel welcomed and cuddled and settled in - all into his family.

Yet MC went beside himself and made this whole game possible.

Can you do something like that? Would you?
