TL;DR: I'm not here to "white knight" the game nor fight with you. I just think some of your comments regarding the game are a bit unfair.
I don't know why you suddenly turn into "White Knight" mode.
Lol what? Because I like FOXXX, I'm suddenly a white knight? That's not at all how that term works.
That term is more for the people who continue to pay for Lilith's Throne and ban people from the discord for being even slightly negative about the game.
You are entitled to your own opinions and I'm entitled to disagree with them. This isn't white-knighting, this is having a discussion.
I didn't say the game is bad
Okay and don't put words in my mouth because I never said you said that either. This is us simply disagreeing on preferred tastes.
My point was "What it offers does not match with the price they are asking for".
It's NOT about how YOU can get off with just Text (heck, otherwise why anyone would play text-based game?).
It's about the contents VS. the price.
Which I even agreed with you that $5 is quite a lot. I even said that in my post, multiple times. I then simply compared the game to others (ignoring the price, because we're on F95 where the prices are always free).
The writing is alright, world building is actually good, and kinks are very rich.
What lacking is the contents in Sex Scenes. Most of them is just "Dom put dick in you, tortured you and you cum".
It's not about the "Writing Style" that depends on your preference (I adore Azulookami's style, but that's not the point),
It's about the Quality and Quantity of the Contents.
Which is fair, but I still think the writing overall for scenes is quite good. Just because it doesn't do the proper worldbuilding that you like doesn't mean it's bad.
- LD: ESL makes some scenes very weird and awkward.
- GO: Again, the random nonsense Azulookami writes and the "goes from casual fucking to suddenly cum is involved without any climax" really takes me out of the moment.
- OIHS: Arguably the best out of all of them, but it's mostly human x human (boring to me) content and I have other gripes with the game to begin with.
About Straight to the point Porn / "a collection of Sex Scenes" : It's not a "Game" that you play for hours anymore.
You just want Instant Gratification, It's "Popcorn / Quick food" contents. It's literally "watching porn".
No lasting power / Immersion at all.
There's nothing wrong you prefer that, different player, different style.
I mean, that's kinda what I do with NSFW games. I'm not here to pussyfoot around, I'm here to get off. It's why stuff like linear visual novels I'm not gonna look at while I'm horny because that's not what they're for. If you want more, there are plenty of games to get more.
What you're looking for, simply isn't here, because that's not what the game is for nor what the game is trying to do. Not every game needs to, nor will, cater to literally everyones' needs, and that's totally A-OK.
Also very rude to say I "just want instant gratification". I'm sorry that I use porn games as porn. What more do you want me to say? It's not like I play it for two minutes, fap, and then I'm done with it. Sheeesh.
On that note, Many games you mentioned do NOT "NEED" a Guide if you play it like a game, other than just want to fap into the scenes.
- LD: It literally give you an in-game cheat, cuz it fucked up with its crafting system.
- GO: If you actually read the text outside of sex scenes, it's totally not confusing. And the Loop system actually give the "game over" ramification / meaning, than just a simple "Restart";
- In Dawn of Corruption, your game over literally adds to the world building - which makes it more alive;
- Become grindy is not the fault of the system, it's the failure of poor game pacing design
LD absolutely needs a guide and it has nothing to do with alchemy. There are one-time scenes, missable scenes, outright bad routes (Lizard Corruption Route) that you could encounter through no fault of your own, and then guess what? Your many-hour save file is now gone and dead if that's not what you wanted. Or, if you want to do another route, you gotta go through many, many hours to get back there. If you've played LD and you don't think it needs a guide, you're either Hyao or lying to yourself. I've probably played the game more than 99% of its players, and there's still plenty of events that I have no idea what to do for them or where to go to unlock them.
Again, I'm not saying LD is a bad game by *ANY* means, it's excellent, but it's an absolute mess navigation-wise.
With GO, I do read the text, but there's plenty of times where I just feel that I randomly stumble upon the correct solution through enough futzing around. It's not like LD with all the paths and whatnot, but it could definitely use some form of guide. Take a peek through both the LD and GO threads on here: I assure you will find plenty of people on both asking "how to fuck X".
Become grindy is not the fault of the system, it's the failure of poor game pacing design
Yeah, that's a problem with the game, something the game developers can 100% rectify. LD gets a pass because it has the cheats, but not every game has that. Try playing Tavern of Spear without grinding (or using the paywalled cheat code); it won't be pleasant.
Shaddy practice: There's No "Public Version" like they claimed, there's only a "Demo" with 1/10 of contents.
That's not shady, they just want a demo instead of a true public version. It's their game and they're upfront about it, and the "Demo" also does get updated with new stuff when the planets you can access get updated. I don't get how this is "shady" when they literally tell you this upfront.
Shady would be promising something and not delivering anything at all (Lilith's Throne). Shady would be not delivering an update at all and instead of refunding people or telling them in advance, they just say "kekw sorry no update this month xD" after the fact that they charged you (OIHS). Shady would be setting a hard release date and then continuing to delay the game for weeks/months on end (too many games to count, but I'll readd Lilith's Throne here).
Again, I'm not disagreeing about the price as I do think it's overpriced (that's not shady), but to call the dev shady is just not accurate.
Maybe I rated it "poor" is unfair, it's quite average, I just expected more and got disappointed.
Again, it's good you are satisfied with what you paid for.
It's just a shame cuz this game could be so much more, with the premise and world building.
I wasn't judging your review, you're more than entitled to your opinion, I was just letting you know there *are* a few M/F scenes for the main character. The prison planet (forgot the name of it) also has all genders of prisoners you can torture/play with/etc.
ALSO, nobody said anything about Femboy? How on earth "Submissive and Breedable" equal to femboy?
So a Gay Furry "Game-Over" game with a femboy fox MC
Um... I guess you forgot your own quote then?
Anyway, from comments I've seen about the game elsewhere to in-game itself at times, the character is, at times, considered a femboy by others.
HE doesn't see himself as a femboy; as you said, he sees himself as "submissive and breedable", but other players and even characters in-game do sometimes see him as "a girl"/femboy because of it. Nothing wrong with that, again I'm just glad it's not forced into every scene imaginable.
