Usually a 4 or 5 will get me to try it, unless the fetish tags are a total turnoff for me. But a 3 or 3.5 that promises to hit my favorite ones gets a shot even if the game itself kinda sucks
It does, but another guy did a Ren'Py port of it and took out the Sandbox and tbh I think it works way better as an experience. It's called "Another Way Back Home"
Ah, Ecchi Sensei. Yet another game that fell to the trap of "we're going to do a rebuild of the first part so we have a better foundation to build on"
Has there ever been a game where a remake didn't ultimately kill it?
Yeah, I think there's something to this. If you kick them all to the ghettos and freeze them out of multiple rungs of society, then of course they're going to form highly insular enclaves and build a support system of their own. If you want people to integrate, make it easy for them to do so.
As much as I like Blackheart games this has always bugged me a bit. It's not too bad for the most part, but the whole Father plotline across multiple games really dragged it down for a while imo.
You have some pretty specific tastes, judging by your rankings, lol. Is there anything specific that turned you off, or just didn't fit the vibe you were looking for?
