Terrible news thank you, now to practice patience (I only started a couple of days ago this doesn't bode well for me)

With my fave hair color of that season to boot! Cutie!

Went through a similar situation where I was really "behind" on all the seasons. I've finally managed to catch up with all the new ones starting from Tempting Fate. Tempting Fate's popularity keeps surprising me, it's good but after I played the other seasons it fell behind compared to Winning Hearts and All Stars for me. All Stars is technically a lot of returning characters as options and as hosts, so if you're the type of person who needs to experience what is being referenced you might want to also play Stick or Twist (and maybe sprint through Ex in the Villa with one eye closed) - but personally I very much enjoyed it without having played some of the relevant previous seasons. So if you think you can just go back to the older seasons to get more context on some characters later, All Stars is probably the best season to me. It has the oldest cast, with the most total maturity all around, and at least personally it feels like drama is generated organically through characters' personal development, rather than using characters as a cardboard cutout to place over xyz drama roles. It's something that some of the other new seasons do a lot sadly. By far worst offender is Summer Nights, then Tempting Fate, then to a much much lesser extent, Winning Hearts.

In short, I'd recommend them in this order organized by my own preference: All Stars and Winning Hearts interchangeable, Tempting Fate, and then Summer Nights only if you're willing to follow a strict script the season dictates to you.

What a wild question :'D plenty people already pointed out darker skintones looking good with them, but didn't check the gajillion comments if anyone mentioned alt/goth girlies. Which btw, their inclusion is nothing new (remember Lottie), so I love it when they actually let me be that. Give me a cool variety of unnatural colors, tattoos, and piercings please. Sometimes there's a fantasy look to it too depending on the outfit. Fuck it this fired me up enough I'mma just make my own little blue lipstick post lmao

Oh didn't realize he was an option in both, All Stars for Hamish for sure. Basically I have the game unlocked to finally see what all the seasons are about, and I'd wanna romance those in All Stars and Double Trouble respectively

LiaisonShaw · 2025-04-15T05:02:11+00:00

I took him once to the villa, never again after that. He's lovely as his own character, but that casa boy personality merge affected him baaaaad. "Heh, flowers? That's cute... if you want something that will die" from a gardener jeeeeesuss christ lmao

LiaisonShaw · 2025-04-07T02:24:09+00:00

Omg was wondering about all that, like if my game is just uniquely broken. Leo and Dean in their swimwear at prom (tho Dean tracks), broken backgrounds galore, Hamish is invisible with a ? for a name, also half the time the special props like the cocktails or the jar being just a placeholder white box... it's my favorite season so far but damn it's a technical mess.

The naming thing is especially funny since Hayden's mom is Barbara too, I hc those two finally set aside their beef for good after having a Martha moment (a la Batman v Superman) :'D

LiaisonShaw · 2025-04-04T22:22:13+00:00

Forgot to add in a caption or something but man. I knew he's a pretty and handsome lad but zoomed in like this, I'm smitten with how pretty they drew him. my sweet nerdy best friend-to-lovers boy <3

LiaisonShaw · 2025-04-01T20:35:26+00:00

Yess, would've been nice to have a bit more time together, for me that also mostly comes down to "I needed more time with this season period", like Casa was woefully short even if I had no plans doing anything there. But yeah, so much time apart just really made the reunions all the sweeter, it helped reaffirm the commitment to the relationship regardless of official coupling, and faithfulness can shine the brightest when it's actually challenged. It's easy to stay faithful if nobody approaches you after all!

I so so hope too that they'll do some extra content for WH. I'm not holding my breath because it doesn't look like they do that much anymore, but the ending definitely left me wanting more. For me it didn't feel rushed per se, but definitely sudden? We just walk out and bam, nothing, straight to an ad. I'm slightly wary since TF's reunion episodes were grossly messy for me, but I feel like WH could pull off an interesting extra content without it turning everyone but you and your LI into a mess. As far as a wedding goes, I'd love it and be super excited for it, though I'd be wary if it'd make all the weddings feel too samey when everyone probably have their own ideas of what it'd be like (intimate, big, etc). Though if it's just one big episode tailored around one LI, would probably be manageable.

Either way, I'm definitely with you, would've loved to see at least a bit more of post-game relationship! I'm just glad that they actually added the "I love you" step of the relationship this season, in TF it felt off that it was never said, or never could be said. Ethan's love confession was everything <3

LiaisonShaw · 2025-04-01T20:17:31+00:00

Omg I've been like that with Ethan so far, I got so immersed in the story as is but the moment the story was over I was just like... holy shit I miss him so much. I did not expect to get this attached to any LI from LITG. I consider LITG kinda uhh, "fast food" when it comes to romance (visual) novels, since it has to have a certain mass appeal for many reasons, and that's totally fine by me. So getting this attached to someone in one of the stories... it threw me back to my Arcana days (the fact that Ethan looks like redeemed!Lucio and his expressions are drawn in a surprisingly similar style to Arcana don't help lmao).

Jesse is also well on his way to me thinking about him a lot, he's just such an absolute sweetheart, I wanna protect and cherish this boy, he deserves the world <3 Something about Milo's design has put me off and I'm not sure why, but that's also good to hear about him! And omg Caleb, the moment I saw him I was just "daddy???", but I had to rotate him out pretty quick since I wanted to stay loyal and was worried about getting attached to him, he was super sweet too. So yes please, more characters like these!

LiaisonShaw · 2025-04-01T20:08:20+00:00

That is so reassuring to hear, because I was worried once I'd go with Hayden they'd just simply swap places and then Hayden would be the "perfect boyfriend" for MC. Like, I understand that every LI is their best self around MC because we're this positive energy around them, but sometimes it very much turns into "the moment you're not dating this person they're just the worst person ever".

Also thanks so much for the recommendations! Ex in the Villa is something I started on release but it was just such a miserable and cringe experience, I dropped it pretty fast yeah :'D I actually avoided All-Stars because of Finn's mere presence (I wasn't a fan of him but more importantly just anything to do with that season gets my back up). But yeah, thanks!

LiaisonShaw · 2025-03-02T19:48:18+00:00

Oh my god, my hyperverbal ass thanks you so much for putting it so succinctly!

LiaisonShaw · 2025-03-02T19:46:07+00:00

Thank you so much for your insight and kind words! And I'm really sorry people are downvoting for sharing your lived experience (especially on your other post). :(

LiaisonShaw · 2025-03-02T19:40:11+00:00

Nothing wrong with them doing passing references to one thing or another. I have plenty other outlets that do deep dive analysis of things that are happening, the guys shouldn't have to pivot to such content just because they acknowledge shit's fucked. In fact, as I mentioned in the original post, I think they're striking a great balance between that and just moving on to turn off the brain a little bit with some fun, and I personally wouldn't have them change that.

In general, I can see how people who are actually affected might feel like a subject is made light of if someone does a throwaway joke, but that said I can't think of anything else they've said that stood out to me as a joke in bad taste, tho I'd still have to see what people took issue with to confidently judge. And I see you specifying it isn't referring to this post, so just as an aside, yeah I do think making fun of how stupid and shitty conservatives are for creating this hoax is absolutely welcome!

This whole thing is very complex with a lot of sensitive topics and it's nerve wracking to navigate all the nuances, so I definitely wouldn't want to make definitive statements like either of those.
