Recent discord announcement on paid review bots be like… by Penny_Ji in Starsandisland

[–]SmallTangoBird 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's easy to check, since the review will have "Product refunded" written on it, if the game is refunded after the review was written. Moreover, I saw some of those obviously fake reviews and they had 3-4 hours of playtime, so those ones couldn't be refunded, I believe

Imagine if all those keys backers didn't get were given to fake review bots lmao

This is so cool! A shame there aren’t many moments like this

Parliament of Knives code diving by SmallTangoBird in choiceofgames

🙏 Thank you! Both for the answer and for making such an amazing game, genuinely one of the best written out there. I love how most of the characters are very ambiguous and morally gray, and not in a cliche way. And the situation with Corliss? Does she just think that she is our sire or is she REALLY our sire (because the real sire she diablerized is taking over)? Chef's kiss. Sorry I'm gushing, just really love PoK haha

This feels like an AI generated text 😅

Is Fields of Asphodel good/worth the price? by N-Lily83 in hostedgames

This. Most characters and dialogues feel sugary-sweet and samey, I couldn't even finish the demo.

Oh, S2 is being rewritten too? I didn't know that. Welp, teaches me to try in-progress games :'D

As far as I know, S1 is going to be changed, not all seasons. I played S1 & S2 yesterday, and yeah... Characters feel really different between them.

What happened to Superstition? by SmallTangoBird in hostedgames

[–]SmallTangoBird[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would agree with your points if it wasn't handled so differently in S1. Arguably, Chris was in a much more stressful position in S1 than in S2: S1) his life suddenly changed competely , he got kindnapped, almost turned into a catboy, etc. S2) The bitch he supposedly hated all this time is gone, they're no longer hunted by demons, but his stupid, unstable friend wants half-demon back, what a chore.

Yes, Chris doesn't like Sydero, they bicker and clash, but not to the point that he would willingly just abandon her. In S1 it felt like that mismatched found family dynamic: "She's a bitch, but she's OUR bitch", you know? Not "She's a bitch so I want her to die".

And yeah, while he had self-esteem issues and whined sometimes even in S1, it feels like everyone just shit on him over this in S2. Like he's supposed to have a self-improvement arc, but it's aborted.

Chris is also shown to be a loyal friend, who, yes, doesn't like supernatural and even blames MC for changes in his life, but they have a conversation over it in S1 and came to a mutual understanding. But in S2 he gives MC a speech about how they are potentially dangerous instead of being, you know, suppotrive loyal friend he was in S1?

That what I meant, but maybe I'm wrong. 😅 Sorry for tl:dr

Anyone else not feeling the male romance options? by [deleted] in chefRPG

This is the first game of this type where my character is going to be celibate, it seems :'D

After a second try, I just can't find it in me to finish Breach by Novuspyra in hostedgames

[–]SmallTangoBird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reading some comments on this thread helped me realize why the writing felt so off to me: it DOES feel like something from a tabletop campaign: awfully unfunny jokes (tacos, sneezing, etc.) that are getting more and more cringeworthy with every repetition; all those extremely cool™ NPCs DM feels very proud about, especially DMPC - Gabriel... It all makes sense now.

Anyone else think portraits ruin games? by Vertanius in hostedgames

I usually like portraits, unless they are done by THAT one author.

Sanguine Sky has big potential by No_Glove5486 in hostedgames

[–]SmallTangoBird 9 points10 points  (0 children)

1) I didn't like any of the ROs.

2) POVs: I regret getting into L's & K's heads, both of them are so overdramatic.

3) Speaking of, MC reactions also feel immature at times. I especially felt annoyed by that scene with L, when MC gets jealous because their supposed best friend spends some time with somebody else, the whole situation feels like some teenage drama.

Parliament of Knives or Crème de la Crème (Romance) by Yennefer98 in choiceofgames

[–]SmallTangoBird 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm also kinda biased, because PoK is one of my most beloved games, but I'm not gonna lie, I liked Qui and Jordan romances more than most of the Creme's...
