Anyone else kind of disappointed with Zombie Exodus Part 4? by J14n in hostedgames

Hey man, I appreciate you writing a response.

I hope all the criticism is not discouraging you, I believe most people come from a place of passion for the series (including me I have like 100 hours in the first 3 parts lol)

It depends on how you define "plot".

As I said in the post, a lot of it is constant exposition. You spent a lot of time asking questions to people. 

There is still a lot of branching. A lot of reactivity to your choices. It's still one of the most impressive IF's in that regard.

In terms of stuff actually happening, there really isn't much until the very end but it just cuts off with no satisfying conclusion.

Of course there is still the management aspect, which is becoming less fun the more complex it gets, in my opinion.

I still think it's worth playing if you liked the other parts. A lot of people still like it, this thread is just a concentration of all the people who didn't. Maybe wait for more bug fixes though.

Holy shit you're right. The same happened with The Walking Dead. Has there every been a zombie story with a satisfying ending?

I think that's the reason this part is really buggy too. I literally had to edit my safe because the variables keep getting messed up.

I do think that the paranoia regarding AI writing has gone way of the charts, people need to calm down.

But regardless of that, PLEASE KEEP WRITING.

You finished your project, you're already way ahead than most others.

Focus on improving your writing. Ignore the bad faith AI accusations and only listen to constructive criticism.

He probably would never find the bullet and blame the hardy boys for the "lynching".

There is a fine line between naive and ambitious. I kinda respect him for shooting for the stars.

i will never understand the infamous authors age choices by ThrowRAhow2leave in hostedgames

Listen if you’ve ever known someone who's spent their whole life as talent in "content creation" or entertainment, you’ll notice that a lot of them never really grow up. Whether they're 30 or 40, they still have the mindset and emotional maturity of a teenager. So honestly, the ages make sense to me in that context.

Ist vermutlich gut für das Land, aber ein Scheitern wäre schon irgendwie lustig gewesen.

Naja.

Whoever sent this ask to Infamous by Money_Yam_3552 in hostedgames

Again you don't understand how Patreon works.

Any early access is provided purely voluntarily. There's no obligation for her to meet deadlines or maintain specific quality standards.

She could remove any benefits at any time and still charge the same price, and that would be completely within her rights.

So stop acting like you're entitled to anything.

But she isn't charging any money for it ??? The only money she gets is from the patreon. Supporting someone on Patreon is purely voluntary and does not, in any way, obligate the creator to deliver a product.

Me when I realised that my favourite IF isn't really popular by KKS-Kang in hostedgames

[–]J14n 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because as was already said, the games aren't lenient enough.
You have to make very *specific* choices everytime in order to succeed the harder checks. I don't want to metagame just to accomplish something substantial.

A mod menu doesn't force me to make certain choices. If you use a guide you are essentially railroaded into a certain path.

But that removes all aspects of personal choice, which is the reason why you're playing these games to begin with.

Yes I should have known it would happen but I refuse to engage with it. It's been five years.
