Thread 712494172

Is he right?

Yeah probably. His game on PC is fun but it's still the game I've already played on PS5. E33 is the best new game I've played in many years.
I'm glad there was a SB port eventually, but I'm more glad E33 exists at all.

>>712494172 (OP)
Eve x Gustave would be pretty hot.

Yeah

>>712494172 (OP)

Obviously. What's E33 even got to compete against? Doom?

>>712494172 (OP)
Yes. There's nothing standing in Lune's way.

>>712494392
>BWC
I couldn't agree more.

>>712494392
I'd play that.

>>712494172 (OP)
Honestly kinda nice to see these outsider devs supporting each other.
I wish nothing but the best for them.

>Fantasy France

>>712495125
Yup, nothing better than fair and positive competition.

>>712494172 (OP)
E33 has no serious competitors so far and it has alot going for it.

I'd surprised if it didn't win GOTY.

>>712495153
France before jews

>>712494172 (OP)
He says a lot of things, HTK is a fucking brownoser.

>>712494172 (OP)
So far yes. Still early in the year, but what is it even against? I don't give a shit about GOTY awards anyway. I had a lot of fun with 33. Will play it again in the future.

>>712494172 (OP)
Yes he is.
>>712495514
I struggle to think of what COULD come out to compete with it. If Square Enix shat out KH4 would that even compete?
After the disaster that was KH3?

>>712495778
why is it full of niggers then

>>712496334
Theres like 5 you little whiny bitch

>>712496225
It loses to death stranding in 2 weeks

>>712494240
>E33 is the best new game I've played in many years.
That's more telling about your taste than the state of vidya

>>712496250
>If Square Enix shat out KH4 would that even compete?
Lol the first Kingdom Hearts game lost to fucking Tony Hawk Pro Skater, but hey it won best music I think

>>712494560
Doom is solid but makes too many dumb design choices and is worse than the last two installments.

>>712494172 (OP)
All the more reason for it get robbed.

>>712496880
Best Music has turned into the fucking sympathy award. As long as anyone remembers the composer's name or style you've got Best Music in the bag.
It's like a celebrity-factor.

>>712496651
Yeah, my taste is pretty fucking fantastic. It's shocking how many people just can't match up.

>>712496431
Could be possible. I loved the original Death Stranding. I've been replaying Death Stranding for the first time since launch. First time playing the director's cut. I have no idea what was added yet as I'm still very early in the game, but it's been so long that I really only remember the big twists and broad beats so if the added stuff is just new memory cards and what not I doubt I'll be able to figure out what is new and what is old.

I hope that DS2 holds up to the experience of the first game. I may enjoy it more that 33, but we'll see. I doubt that Kojima's just going to shit the bed. At the very least the game should be compelling.

>>712494172 (OP)
still attention whoring after they lost to a kiddie game?

>>712494172 (OP)
GOTY recognizes GOTY.

>>712497510
True.

>>712494172 (OP)
Both are fun, he's just like me fr

I mean there is literally no competition this year. 2025 is a really shit year for vidya in general. The only "new" game I'm playing right now is stellar blade but everything else is a decade old games I'm currently just modding.
It saves me money for games I actually want at least.

>>712494172 (OP)
e33 is game of the decade. I'm loving stellar blade too, based gook

>>712494172 (OP)
Stopped playing expedition 33 2-3 weeks ago. Have not thought about that fotm garbage.

>>712498498
you never played it at all. it will win goty and will be discussed 20 years from now.

>>712496651
I mean, it is almost a universal opinion that E33 is goty you contrarian retard

>>712497943
This.

>>712497684

Agreed. You can enjoy multiple things.

>>712494172 (OP)
No, Death Stranding 2 is coming out. That's like saying BG3 was GOTY when Pizza Tower came out the same year, the former is just nowhere near as good as the latter.

>>712499999
>>712400000

>>712499939
I almost took you seriously at first.

>>712500778
BG3 is fucking garbage, very ugly game with trash characters and bad writing. Pizza Tower has tight controls, fantastic lore and characters, some of the best looking graphics in a long time, and actually memorable music. No contest.

>>712494172 (OP)
That's really nice of the SB director but why does his game has denuvo? Just remove it and i'll buy it

>>712497446
DS good or bad? never played it but if you enjoyed it and loved E33, maybe I should get DS too?

I thought DS was a multiplayer game and the online was dead

>>712497642
I legit cant believe he was right

>>712494172 (OP)
Is stellar blade actually any good beyond the coomerbait? Worth $60?

>>712500884
>some of the best looking graphics
>Pizza Tower

>>712494172 (OP)
no sorry deltarune already came out and won the title

>>712494172 (OP)
Maybe
Stellar Blade sadly isn't up for it since it was released in 2024
Should have won 2024 though.

>>712501189
Wouldn't know, coomerbait is enough for me to buy the game. I don't really care about actually playing it. It's about principles.

You make a good looking game or a game with good looking characters? You get my support (money). If you don't do that...well what do you have to offer?

>>712494172 (OP)
No. Stellar Blade is

>>712501342
doesn't matter, there are already precedents of games released in previous years and winning awards when they should not even be part of of the nominees.

>>712501201
Pizza Tower looks fucking phenomenal, retard. You've got to be nothing less than a headcase to deny the love and care put into the graphics and animations. BG3 looks like everyone is constantly sweaty and disgusting, female characters look masculine, etc. Honestly just embarrassing.

>>712501189
Combat is a love it or hate it kind of thing but the music and retro feel of the game design is certainly up my alley.

Yeah that's pretty good taste in gaming if Anon likes Exp 33, it's a good game. Music, gameplay, story and characters are all great

>>712494172 (OP)
At this point, yeah, fairly easily too. There's still time for something to dethrone it.

It's fucking Oscar Bait the Videogame, and I say that as someone that had fun beating it. Didn't like how the endings were framed though

Yeah attacking me personally for not following a trend is a great way to get someone to buy your game

>>712497943
what are you smoking

>>712501067
DS is good if you can get past the initial hours of being constantly interrupted by Codecs. And you like virtual hiking. It's a unique game.

DS is a faux multiplayer game. If you enable the online components you can get gear, warnings, dropped cargo, and all manner of other things from players, but you never directly connect with them. The game is lonely, but that is it's intent. The multiplayer elements let you know there are other porters out there "keep on keeping on".

>>712494172 (OP)
Goty is biased, they will give title everyone but not SB

>>712494172 (OP)
Normally I'd disagree but there's not really any competition this year.

no hes not right its parry slop and a fake RPG for people who dont play RPGs and im tired of people pretending this unreal 5 slopis worth anything

>>712502096
its all great if you arent a gamer

>>712497943
bro your fucking trolling no the hell it is not

>>712496250
>what COULD come out to compete with it
Yeah, I don't think there's much. Let's see:

>Death Stranding 2
Probably the best contender, and will most likely be really good, but the story and soundtrack won't be anywhere near as good as E33's.
Kojima is a very ahem, creative person, and I admire how ambitious his games are, but honestly he isn't a great story teller.

>Metroid Prime 4
Could turn out to be amazing, but still too niche. It seems Retro Studios are playing it safe, so it will likely please long time fans, but won't be as outstanding as the original MP.
Not story driven, at least not like E33 or DS2.

>Ghost of Yotei
Probably the best PS5 exclusive this year, but I didn't think the original game was anything special beyond the setting.

>Silent Hill f
I have high hopes for this, but I don't know if these new people have the talent to deliver something truly compelling.
The setting makes me think of Fatal Frame more than Silent Hill.

>Donkey Kong Bananza
It would need to have revolutionary gameplay and game design. Basically, it needs to be a Breath of the Wild tier industry shake-up.
Nintendo could make it happen, but it seems weird to me that the game wasn't a Switch 2 launch game.

Can't think of anything else.

>>712502070
This isn't the Kojima thread.

>>712502338
How come you don't have anything to actually say except lame appeals to console warring insults?

>>712496431
DS was a good game, and I'm looking forward to DS2, but I expect it'll be a messy sort of game full of great and crap parts and maybe a little too indulgent to unify voters for GOTY, whereas E33 is pretty universally acclaimed on a lot of levels

>>712497050
Incidentally Stellar Blade should have won Best Music last year, and Felvidek should have gotten a nomination

>>712505595
ZZZ should've won best music
Stellar Blade should've won GOTY

E33 should get best music this year, everyone forgets Silksong is going to steal it's GOTY

>>712505804
Hollow Knight was so mid, I'll never get the hype for Silksong. Dark Souls ripoff lore, music doesn't exist, samey looking environments, okay combat, not great metroidvania. Overall 6.5 game, I will never understand. The Messenger was better.

>>712494172 (OP)
And he's right to do so. It is GOTY.

>>712501067
Impossible to say. DS is unapologetic about what it is and it isn't for everyone. If you vibe with its gameplay you'll have a good time, others didn't like it at all. The plot and characters are wacky and all that as you'd expect but the gameplay aspect is pretty unique and not really like any other game out there. It takes stuff you normally take for granted in games, traversal and inventory, and makes a game out of them. .

Worth playing for sure, whether it works for you or not. If it does it's a very interesting experience.

>>712501189
It feels like a throwback to the mid to late 2000s, especially for action games on the PS3, but with 2020s visuals. Great soundtrack.

>>712506006
NTA but I also didn't really care for Hollow Knight but I think having a taller character to play as in Silksong will unironically make it feel better to play.

>>712506006
>music doesn't exist, samey looking environments
holy filtered

>>712494172 (OP)
I didn't love the last ten minutes but loved about everything up to that point

>>712505804
Silksong is gonna be a disappointment. Not a bad game, a good game even, but it will be as you would expect a sequel to Hollow Knight to be, except it's five years late for some reason, with nothing to show for all that time and no reason it was delayed so much.

>>712502997
I'll also give Kojima this, he has good taste in music.

>>712506006
Did you finish it?

>>712494172 (OP)
Europeans emulating nip/chink/gookslop is not worthy of praise. Final Fantasy sucks you morons, JRPGs are shit.

>>712496431
I don't know if the reception for Death Stranding 2 will be better than the first because people will actually know to expect a delivery sim, or if it will just be quieter because a delivery sim is still super fucking niche.

>>712494172 (OP)
The GOTY hasn't even been released yet.

>>712506382
Why they didn't put a radio or portable music player in Death Stranding is beyond me

>>712506382
Agreed.

I can only assume that there is some retarded legal reason for devs to have to use denuvo for a time period.

If the company is publicly traded then the company is legally obligated to put the interests of the shareholders above that of the consumers. So shareholders think that every new game needs to have the best DRM to maximize the value of the shares and dividends. After a certain amount of time determined by some dumbass accountants, they figure out that the cost of continuing to pay for denuvo on a game outweighs the potential loss of sales from piracy. Then they just rely on a cheaper less invasive DRM like the one valve uses.

Big Prime games fag here(I even still have prime hunters for the DS) , I don't see Metroid Prime 4 resonating with zoomies, you'd have to be a 30 YO boomer like me to appreciate it for the most part, as the games can ge archeological at points and combat is very simplistic compared to other shooters , E33 won already for the most part

I don't really care for the Prime 4 track you posted, but you're kinda right. People actually fucking like that other shit? It sounds like generic buttrock. Not really memorable "epic" sounding music like Uematsu, just French yelling over an Irish bar music. Real fucking lame. Game seems ok but I haven't really played it, graphics are a bit ugly and gameplay just doesn't really catch me.

Oh please. Wukong, Astro Bot, Indiana Jones, and Shadow of the Erdtree deserved it more. Save your predictable responses and quips.

>>712510989
That was the keyart they used when the game was unveiled

>>712494172 (OP)
It's disgusting the amount of anti-shilling the game got. There was a post that suggested that it was a lot of salty game devs and of course your average contrarian that just wants to "funpost". We got a good game and it was doomposting all around. Get fucked.

seriously, i've been here for nearly 2/3 of my life so i like to think i'm desensitized to any of the faggotry that takes place here, but all of the shitting on E33 actually made me seethe for once

>>712512539
The contrarian seething against Exp 33 is the one time in about 5 years that I genuinely fucking despised this place. I know that this is a shithole with occasional good posts and Anons who remind me why this place is interesting.
But the seething against the game really was something pathetic.
The game was a decent price, had a good score, gameplay, story, characters and a fantastical world, wasn't filled with microtransactions. It's straight up a good experience but of course the depressed cunts on this board couldn't accept a bit of fun.
I mean I thought that's what vidya is meant to be, you play for fun in your spare time? Not /v/ though.

>>712512775
one look at this picture will immediately tell you exactly why there's been so much seething, that and the lack of a tendie port. it's okay though, these retards are only going to get more and more buckbroken as the years go on and they realize this game will never be forgotten.

I mostly take issue with the shallowness of them, just attacking for the sake of attacking, not even having a reason like some games have for getting bashed without having played them. I haven't played AC Shadows but I can shit on various aspects fairly safely, and I don't overstep my boundaries and talk about things I don't know about (like I can't speak to the gameplay, compared to say AC1 and 2 which I did play a lot of, but I can speak to the breaking of long established AC narrative rules for stupid reasons).

E33, I just saw complete nothing posts attacking it for nothing, saying nothing. What's the point? The attacking is a goal in of itself? Why? It just looked like people with literally no personality beyond generic shitposting copying other shitposts like a turd eating its own tail.

I saw one guy who kept shitting on the game saying the map design is nothing but a linear corridor.
I challenged him and later he admitted ok he didn't know about the Overworld and didn't know there were levels in the game with branching pathways or were more open ended.
Just shitting on the game for the sake of it.

>>712513389
this, you'd have to be one truly deluded and obese motherfucker to think either of them have a chance of winning GOTY

>>712507074
Death Stranding 2 will get nominated but Donkey Kong and Metriod Prime 4 are you for fucking real right now? No, just no.

>>712513389
Pretty much, if Metroid wasn't a Nintendo exclusive tendies would doompost it too

>>712513629
Metroid Prime 4 is very likely to be nominated.

>>712494240
>E33 is the best new game
Did you forgot everything about videogames? Hurt your head? Bashed by a druggie? What happened to make you think this?

>>712513629
Obviously E33 is winning, but those Nintendo games will very likely get good reviews. DS1 didn't get stellar reviews, btw.

I don't think it will win, but Prime 4 is like 99.99% getting nominated. Metroid games and Retro Studios have a lot of prestige.
Unless it sucks (doubtful), DK also has a big chance of getting nominated, simply because it's looking to be this year's Astrobot, i.e. a "normal" gameplay and fun focused video game anyone can enjoy.

>>712514314
What did he mean by this?

>>712500884
>very ugly game with trash characters
That's what I think of E33 can't speak to the writing.

>>712514314
how low IQ do you need to be to dislike E33?

If you "can't speak to the writing", then you can't speak to the characters.

>>712512539
>>712512775
Yeah, when it first released and I was going through threads I was getting swayed by all the shitposting. Telling a buddy of mine who was thinking about it that it seemed kinda gay.
Then more and more threads were made, and my buddy got it and said he's enjoying it. So I bought it and had an amazing time and really couldn't believe and couldn't fathom the shitslinging on here about it

famitsu threads are the hive of hardcore tendies and even those threads were positive towards e33.
At most, people there said it under performed in japan because of the ps5 flopping there and no jap dub

i'm not saying there weren't any tendies shitting on e33, but i think it was mostly jaded faggots that can't enjoy anything but gacha and porn games because they can't cope with their depression

The Metroid Prime series is a western media darling and Dread was nominated in 2021, it is no doubt getting a nomination

>>712501067
Eh. It's Kojimashit. It tries SO FUCKING HARD to be smart, and in the end it loses the plot. I assume DS2 is going to be the same.
That's why E33 has an advantage over DS in that it consequently knows what it tries to say, even if it makes the plot of the game very simple as a result.

>>712494172 (OP)
>Is he right?
let me think. no.

>>712494560
Neither are out yet but these are my picks for this year

>>712494172 (OP)
Hopefully no, I still want to play something better this year. It's also a very flawed game.
Don't get me wrong, I actually enjoyed it but I had to ask myself "why", since nothing here is really groundbreaking and never done before.
Than it hit me, game feels like it doesn't shit on its players. Simple game, simple mechanics, somewhat creative story about a topic done 100 times before but also 40 bucks, no further shit, doesn't treat the player as retarded doesn't openly push some irl shit. Just a straight little game from beginning to end.
So people, like me, peobably like it because it allows real escapism without reminding you either of your wallet or trying to tell you what to think or make you think which parts of the game were compromised to sell a boost currency.

>>712503545
>but it seems weird to me that the game wasn't a Switch 2 launch game.
Because Mario Kart is a bigger series and it comes out in a month anyway.

>>712494172 (OP)
No.

>>712516264
>juvenile writing and dialogue
I don't agree or don't see the problem with most of your other points, but this one just goes beyond a "hot take", or however zoomers call it.
What is "mature" video game writing in your opinion?

>>712518685
>What is "mature" video game writing in your opinion?
Probably MCU-tier writing.

>>712494172 (OP)
No. The first half of the game is an ultra kino expedition into an unknown, magical alien continent, watching the remains of the expeditions who fought tooth and nail, down to their very last breath to pave a way for you. Your predecessors locked the fucked in and performed massive feats of daring an ingenuity to pave a way for you. The MC Gustave is a timid, crippled man who nevertheless stands on business every single day of the week by straight up creating not only the tech needed to fight these monsters, but also by fighting to the death himself to pave a way for the future. Oh he dies in Act 1, gets replaced by a self-insert (who has sex with the other 2 previous love interests, unironically more coomerish than 99% of JRPRGS) the world is fake, it becomes a family drama, nobody gives a shit about the painted people, the worlds loses its air of mystery and adventure, the sacrifices of your predecessors were worthless haha. You had an apex kino story in the works and you throw that away. It doesn't help that the game peaks in difficulty in Act II and then becomes stupidly easy afterwards.

>>712518685
Serious moments defused with le funny quips. Sarcasm overflowing in every single casual exchange. Everytime Verso opens his mouth. Sciel and Verso having a le funny moment 2 seconds after mentioning her miscarriage and suicide attempt. The nearly sociopathic dialogue of Maelle after awakening (this could be a character trait, but instead is presented to you as healthy growth). Renoir (both real and painted) is the best written character in the game. He conveys emotion and profound depth without relying on crutches or furtive means. Honest, direct, soulful. That's good writing. Aragorn comforting Boromir. Gustave also had some very good moments due to his earnestness and courage permeating his speech.

>>712494172 (OP)
I guess? Not much else going on anyway. Like, wow, another terrible year for video games, how surprising.
To be honest I'm probably dead inside because I don't get what's so good about E33, the combat and exploration are so tedious. I started Act 2 and I'm starting to worry that it's never going to get good.

e33, KCD2, metroid, Silksong (if it comes out), death stranding 2 and maybe donkey kong
>winner
There's literally zero chance it doesn't go to either E33 or death stranding and I think even if Death Stranding ends up more popular with critics/enthusiasts, E33 is the darling of the year and i'll be extremely surprised if it doesn't take it

if you think any other game is winning you're actually a complete retard

>>712520981
oh split fiction will get nominated too i forgot that one

>>712520981
Do you really think DS2 has any chance? It's essentially more of the same Kojimashit. You've seen his one game, you've seen them all.
I guess DS2 might win only because Geoff really likes to glaze Hideo every chance he gets.

>>712521139
all reports from anyone who's got to play ds2 have been extremely positive. Anyone who liked the first game will probably adore the 2nd.

The series does not appeal to me at all but i would consider it the only game that has even the smallest chance of winning instead of e33.

3D Platformers is the video game genre master race.

Sure neither DK and Metroid Prime 4 will have compelling stories to tell, the gameplay department is where they shine.

E33 is also a very fun game with a compelling story, music and visuals. There's almost nothing that can snatch E33 this year anyway.

>>712529023
no no here on /v/ it was getting shilled MASSIVELY after release. In truth the E33 shilling campaign started a year before the game even released. We had E33 spamming on /v/ before anybody had ever even heard of the game.

>>712529234
no, you seem to be confused
lots of people liked e33 because it was finally a good game in the sea of AAA pozzed slop

No. It is DEI slop.

What a fucking shocker. Actual gamers understand what other gamers want
I haven't played e33 yet and have been trying to avoid spoilers, i plan to get into it sometime later in the year when theres less to play. Its pretty clear to me that GOTY will be either this or DS2, just based on hype and reception

>>712494172 (OP)
E33 is great but at the same time I genuinely believe it is the most overrated game of all time.

It's only June. We're not even halfway through the year.

>>712494172 (OP)
How many dicksuckers actually played this game? You can't tell me the gradual decline in Act 2 and 3 didn't fucking ruin the game. Literally no redeeming qualities past it. It has the worst writing in a jrpg I've seen thus far (uhh Verso betrays you and one trauma dump later you're fucking Lune or Sciel?). Also literally nothing matters nor is real. If we get parryslop QTE jrpgs from now on with actual shit turn-based strategy that is puddle deep you know whose fault is that.

>>712546654
>How many dicksuckers actually played this game?
not you, that's for sure

>>712542879
What are you on about, kraut? Wrong quote?

>>712547132
Mire than you faggot. Clocked in 60 hours, cleared the Endless Tower and Simon retard. Verso 1 HP DPS build with Sciel support (act firs, all set, dark fury or Intervention spam) support Monoco with the 8 AP Dualliste attack in case I land Almighty, Maelle Stendhal spam build one-shot build which I benched because of how busted it was. And Lune who pre-act III was fishing for Elemental Genesis and after getting painted power was fucking useless (since healing and hp in this game is fucking worthless). All on expert. So no, you suck my fucking dick. The game had great promise but dropped the ball fucking hard. If Verso had been in anime style he'd be clowned as a character. Renoir Gustave and Monoco were good but nowhere good enough to salvage this shitshow.

>>712547935
oh so you're just a braindead shitskin with no taste, carry on!

>>712547935
You wasted 60 hours on a game just to complain about it on an anonymous basket weaving forum?
Kek what a fucking faggot

>>712547935
Actually let me even hammer it in retard. The only fight im Act III that gave me trouble was 9-3 of the Tower because the 2 caster are immune to Void damage (so nk Gommage or Stendhal). And a I had to do for that one was replace Maelle for Vero. The game was balanced like complete ass. I was running like 40 luna deficits because I didn't feel like minmaxing all the time and was still hitting like 22 million on a single poorly setup Berserk Strike. I minmaxed in anticipation for Simon and tou can guess how that ended.

>>712548058
>>712547983
Because Act I was fucking fantastic and Act II has good moments. I kept trying to make it work past that and it doesn't the story goes to complete shit near the end. A fucking rugpull. Despite the fact you can sort of see it coming I still held hope it wasn't going to be some "it was a fake" bullshit. At no point in the story did I give a rat's ass about the Dessandres and their vague problems (seriously the Writers are the enemies? Fucking lmao). It's complete ass. I'm gonna replay Lost Odyssey to cleanse my palate from this shit. Once again fell for the shilling. Thank god I pirated.

>>712550778
TGA is a joke anyway, Nine Sols not being nominated for Indie GOTY is the biggest awards snub in the history of awards shows across all mediums

>>712494172 (OP)
no E33 is easily mogged by XCX but considering XCX is a remake and remakes should never be nominated for GotY ever I guess he is right. E33 is a good game(7/10) but its gameplay needs a little bit of work and act 3 kind of trivializes the story built up in the start.

>>712494172 (OP)
Sure it might win. Its main competitors are Death Stranding 2 and Metroid Prime 4.
Highly unlikely Death Stranding 2 will win since Kojima games are divisive and acquired taste.
Metroid Prime 4 has been in dev hell for so long it might be a mess, and we have seen very little gameplay. If it's overall more like Prime 1 and 2 then it's got a chance.

Personally I haven't played E33 yet because I got annoyed by people praising it so much. Reminds me of annoying Undertale fans. I'll play it when I'm no longer annoyed.

Am i the only one who finds it weird that Verso is the one getting romance options in the game? Especially after Gustave died?

>>712494172 (OP)
Glad to see low-budget titles support each other.

Just finished E33. Everything after Act 1 except the soundtrack was just bad. I understand the hype if you compare the game to the absolute dogshit the industry produces, but in a vacuum it's a 6/10.
It baits a mature and nuanced story just to deliver some petty family drama and the gameplay gets hindered by having a damage cap up until Act 3, which has to be the dumbest design choice in vidya history.
Old Lumiére was the braking point for me. That cinematic single-handedly killed every expectation I had for the game.

>>712557781
not really, Gustave doesn't seem like he would've wanted to bang Lune or Sciel since he was hung up on his ex

>>712551154
and a bing bing wahoo to you too

>>712557781
It's actually a very interesting idea. All the "romances" are selfish one night stands for different reasons and doing either just makes the ending of the characters even more tragic. The game hard punishes self inserters.

>>712560432
He gets replaced rather quickly for somebody so important to everybody there. It feels a bit tragic and they kind of treat Gustave like afterthought.
>>712560660
I am honestly considering just either skipping dialogue during relationships or not doing them altogether. Am i missing important things if i do that? It honestly feels wrong for... I'm getting a new brother/father figure that chose to not help my previous one to take place.
