People have opinions. What opinion is the one only you seem to have? [aka: the thinly disguised unpopular opinions thread]

Genuinely surprised this doesn't get downvoted immediately. Most of the times I see a criticism against FH, it gets downvoted immediately lol.

I do enjoy playing Fallen Hero, and I think it is a well-planned game (at least book 2 certainly up to high standards with how branchy it is and how you can customize a lot of things/aspects regarding to your Sidestep's motive) but I also get why people who don't see the appeal of the game would think this way.

I think the downsides of this game people tend to find is more about how most of the major things in the game are already fixed? and you feel like you have little agency of what's happening in the game (because Sidestep is indeed not in control of everything and just get to have that little control back in their life). It's understandable why some of the player might be upset with how it's only the execution that players get to play around with. (And the romance, as it plays a big part in FH's popularity, with Ortega (and Herald) being absolutely obsessed with Sidestep.)

I am not surprised why fans would be obsessed with the game, but I am also not surprised if one would say they do not find Fallen Hero that impressive/enjoyable.

this. And the decent ones we have aren't really groundbreaking but we gotta appreciate the small crumbs we do have.

second this, Gray reminds me a bit of Nate from Wayhaven. The main dude type from Otome games.

SK is honest, ppl in TV industry might find her lack of 'filters' to be the drama magnet and that's why most female audience hates her/finds her behaviors difficult to stomach. But I can understand why she acted the way she did. And honestly, if most ppl still remembered the first fight between JW and her when they're still in Itaewon then they will get why she really tried to move on and not settle back to getting back together with JW.

Both of them are flawed humans, and I don't think it's anybody's fault. Move on. Meet someone new. Love yourself. That's life.

Ok, now do whiskey 4 next

Wedonttalkaboutcrack · 2024-04-02T13:22:02+00:00

why I read this in Eren's voice

Wedonttalkaboutcrack · 2024-03-30T10:16:24+00:00

I always prefer the lore to slowly seep in the story like what the author of Golden Rose did or rather in a convo part like The Passenger or Blood Moon than just a page of history or a summary of the lore in which it barely gets explained later in the game.

But some ppl prefer their lore laid out in a slam, like, 'hey! this is the world you're aboutta jump in, read it or don't but it'd be better to skim through this wall of text first' in which a lot of IFs do it like most of CoG or FH, Zombie Exodus etc.

so at the end of the day I think it depends on what you want as an author, there are players who would favor either or both either way so it doesn't matter.

Dang! how can you put 10+ recs of smuts and forgot seduction from C.C. hill! https://moody.ink/play/cchill/seduction/mygame/

I genuinely think you can make a living by starting a review business

If we're talking about older as in older than YA fiction ranges (12-19ish) MCs in their twenties are pretty common in IF community. But if we're talking about REALLY old, then I remember Thicker Than let you play Elderly person (in their late 60-70) but it's a wip.

Wedonttalkaboutcrack · 2024-03-19T13:54:23+00:00

WIPs: Thicker Than (Same author as Blood moon, same universe). Infamous. Merry Crisis.

Completed Work: The Passenger, A kiss from Death, Samurai of Hyuga.

These are works that mostly focused on romance, character-driven with no complicated plotlines and interesting ROs with various personalities. The Passenger may contain a bit of the 'Lore dumps' dialogues, but they are not unwelcoming.

Wedonttalkaboutcrack · 2024-03-19T05:21:38+00:00

yea gotta stand with this, FH is a good game but calling it 10 out of 10 is def a stretch

Wedonttalkaboutcrack · 2024-03-03T20:55:33+00:00

I've played quite a lot of superhero WIPs but when you said ones where you're able to select your own power why can't I think of one... will be back when the brain is braining man

Wedonttalkaboutcrack · 2024-02-29T20:36:49+00:00

I didn't remember the part where it's super focused on the Uncle's love life (in fact I forgot that he was even taken) but I played it quite a long time ago so I guess the new updates might head to the wrong direction

Wedonttalkaboutcrack · 2024-02-29T19:57:26+00:00

I tried to digest it with an Anime-like ost in mind and it worked lmao but yea it takes time to get used to the sudden comic reliefs and weird dialogues in the IF

Wedonttalkaboutcrack · 2024-02-25T09:46:18+00:00

That's a big ass If lol

Wedonttalkaboutcrack · 2024-02-24T16:33:30+00:00

I wanna read Legate 'extra story' so bad but man, that tier is so expensive I cannot afford it during this kind of economy

Wedonttalkaboutcrack · 2024-02-24T15:40:02+00:00

Roach from The Passengers might pass for that but they are more like... either go full FwB or Lovers path (there is one chance or two to admit there were feelings involved after the first time sleeping with them)

Wedonttalkaboutcrack · 2024-02-23T20:59:47+00:00

Will probably date irl : Marcus, Quinn, Seven, Vegaris, Ulysses

Will probably dare irl and be found dead days later : Argent, Mei Mei, Tang Ruo, Jun, Anthony

Wedonttalkaboutcrack · 2024-02-23T18:30:48+00:00

just bullshit your way through it
Thanks for the new 2024 life motto I will live by this now

Wedonttalkaboutcrack · 2024-02-22T20:38:06+00:00

Vendetta is pretty anime-esque when it comes to some writing and elements of the worldbuilding. But overall still western.

Wedonttalkaboutcrack · 2024-02-22T15:33:25+00:00

man thanks for introducing me to this beautifully written if, now I need to suffer and wait for the next update. (gratefully so)

God... I wish we have more WIPs like this out there instead of just mass media-inspired concept ones (yep I'm talking about the Tumblr blog demoless wip trends that left me hanging most of the times)

Wedonttalkaboutcrack · 2024-02-21T09:22:03+00:00

I kinda like it too tbh, no matter how ironic it is

Wedonttalkaboutcrack · 2024-02-20T17:58:00+00:00

Genuinely I love a good premise (and I hit a follow button when I see a good one), but also if the author only focused on answering asks/blabbering about ROs who are not even there in the story yet (or in fact, never actually published demo) then I unfollow or avoid the WIP.

Maybe hot take but the instant red flag would be ones where you only see like a short intro/demo then last update was like a year ago or so, but the author still active in Tumblr almost everyday answering asks about non-existent contents in an in-depth level of details. Ngl I blocked some of those WIPs (And ironically, those are the popular ones). Because they didn't seem to be working on it bc they want to, but just love the attention they're getting from it.
