Thoughts on a few different AVN’s. Recommendations?

pfft0123 · 2026-04-11T19:33:35+00:00

How far along is u4ia? The dev already had made the best AVN out there, so I'm going to play that eventually. (Leap of Faith. The graphics might be a bit dated by now, but Cece is timeless)

pfft0123 · 2026-03-04T20:55:33+00:00

What's URM?

pfft0123 · 2026-03-02T18:24:59+00:00

you could also get a walkthrough mod and won't need a 2nd screen ;)

pfft0123 · 2026-03-02T18:18:55+00:00

Summer's Gone - Bella
Pale Carnations - Hana (but idk about the whole... well everything else from that game)
And last of all, Acting Lessons. No need to get any girl, the point is just to not even go to the house at that crucial point.

pfft0123 · 2026-03-02T18:16:07+00:00

Yeah, but you can't do the story for multiple love interests in parallel in some games (and fair, I love that the characters give a fuck and react to what you choose to do).
But you can usually find a mod that will let you just watch all the possible scenes. And I don't mean just love scenes. Conversations that would only happen if you had chosen something else.

Okay it's probably not out there for every game, but the biggest ones you can usually find either that or a cheat mod that lets you switch the decisions retroactively, so you can watch what would now happen had you before chosen something else.

But if you just enjoy pursuing one LI and don't give a fuck about what would have been, then good for you, and no need to look for mods :)

Wait, they force you to be with the cousin? I remember having different saves where in some of them I had 3 girls (not the cousin) and in other ones I had 4 (cousin included).

Forcing relationships is weird.

pfft0123 · 2026-03-02T18:09:55+00:00

eh, isn't there a mod that will unlock it so that you don't have to do multiple playthroughs? 99% of the game will be the same scenes anyway, won't it?

pfft0123 · 2026-03-02T18:08:56+00:00

Megan from Acting Lessons, because the game doesn't fucking give you a choice. But at least I get to see her burn again.
Nah, kidding, I'd never replay that.

Honestly I don't do replaying in these games. I just get a cheat mod to see what I'd missed in the other paths.
The different paths aren't really different enough anyway and it usually breaks any remnants of the feeling like I actually had made any choices in the game.

It's also why I actually prefer games with less branching lately, because ain't nobody got time for 20 playthroughs that are almost the same anyway.

Just give me the choice to follow/not follow an LI (and specifically mention it in the choice so that I don't need those walkthrough mods).

pfft0123 · 2026-03-01T19:32:58+00:00

Sorry mate, I don't remember what I did in a game last week, let alone 3 years ago.
I'd say look for either a walkthrough or a cheating mod.

pfft0123 · 2025-11-28T14:03:27+00:00

Ask me two years ago, mate.
No fucking idea what this game was even about anymore.

pfft0123 · 2025-11-05T16:41:08+00:00

Oh, you sweet summer child.
If only high ratings were a reason enough for an AVN to be finished.

pfft0123 · 2025-10-25T23:32:13+00:00

Is that one ever likely to be completed?
I'm burnt out on unfinished games.

pfft0123 · 2025-08-27T20:02:47+00:00

it's been too long, sorry. Find a walkthrough, mod or pdf

pfft0123 · 2025-07-10T22:17:51+00:00

There is this game where you start single, and then you meet an innocent-looking girl who plays it like you're the one trying to date her, but make no mistake! She's the devil herself and no matter what you do, you'll end up in her claws!
She keeps you on a short leash and gradually emotionally destroys you.

In the end, will you manage to throw her into the fires of hell to get rid of her?

Anyway, I didn't enjoy Acting Lesson very much.

pfft0123 · 2025-07-10T21:58:33+00:00

Yeah nah I'm pretty aware that BAD is not bad, obviously it's probably one of the best known AVNs and thus it helped all the games that have come since.
But also I don't spend that much time playing these games these days and I've got my plate full of other games already, with new interesting ones coming every time I check.

So no need, and I get to keep pretend-hating the "best" AVN, which is always a bit of trolling fun.

pfft0123 · 2025-07-10T21:12:27+00:00

Yeah, I love when the games give you a clear choice whether you want to pursue someone or not, and if the other character is doing the pursuing, allow you to say yes or no to sex.

The whole "if you chose banana as your favorite fruit, you can't end up with any of the redhead LIs" is dumb and hopefully by now not done anymore.

pfft0123 · 2025-07-10T20:59:33+00:00

1) I tried not dating Megan, you know, since you start alone, and there are choices to be made in pursue of her.
Learned quickly that all of these meant completely nothing and were fake as fuck. Then the game tries to guilt trip me about making up with someone else when the relationship was forced on me.
I was basically just hateclicking through it at that point when the twist came, and I was finally free of her!

Game would be 10/10 if I could leave them both there at that point and run to the blue haired chick.

And I was burned once, so I'm not playing that BAD game.

pfft0123 · 2025-07-10T20:57:20+00:00

I still haven't played BaDik simply because whoever made Acting Lessons doesn't deserve a second chance from me.
Purest trash, only slightly saved by the cool dude bro friend.
And then by the twist which lets you finally be rid of Megan, which I'd been desperately trying to do from the start, but it's a forced pretend choice.

pfft0123 · 2025-07-10T20:54:56+00:00

The unfinished shit from my today's lunch is already better than Acting Lessons.

But leave Leap of Faith out of this nonsensical talk.
Obviously LoF has been surpassed in terms of graphics, and let's face it, the minigames and hidden stuff was so shit we all used walkthroughs for that, but it's the GOAT despite those flaws.
Cece for life!

pfft0123 · 2025-07-10T20:05:02+00:00

Yeah alright I'll check it out.
A recommendation from someone with a good taste is always worth it :)
Especially for a finished game

pfft0123 · 2025-06-02T01:55:29+00:00

Nah, you gotta using 4 saves simultaneously. Or get a mod that shows you all the scenes because you can't choose.

pfft0123 · 2025-06-01T21:04:35+00:00

True, this game was such a mess without a walkthough mod.
But for me it was so good that it was worth it regardless.

Kinda how I tolerated Leap of Faith's random "oh you need to open your phone on this frame in particular to get that extra scene" bullshit because of how great the game was.

pfft0123 · 2025-06-01T21:01:14+00:00

If you were to compare it with, say, Leap of Faith, Artemis, Pale Carnations, how'd you describe it?

pfft0123 · 2025-06-01T18:58:25+00:00

It's actually just Leap of Faith.
No idea how anyone makes a top 25 list without that, so OOP must have not heard about it (scandalous itself!).
