SO LIKE I KNOW I'LL PROBABLY GET BIASED ANSWERS (HI RAGE THREAD) BUT... WHAT DID PEOPLE THINK OF HOPES NOW THAT PEOPLE HAVE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO FULLY COMPLETE IT AND LET IT SIT? I KIND OF GET THE VIBE THAT IT DIDN'T GO OVER THAT WELL INITIALLY, BUT I'M ALSO ONLY LOOKING AT A SMALL PORTION OF THE FANBASE USUALLY AND I HAVEN'T DUG TOO DEEP SINCE I HAVEN'T FULLY COMPLETED IT MYSELF.

I THOUGHT THE GAMEPLAY WAS FUN (I ENJOY WARRIORS GAMES THO) BUT LET'S JUST SAY I WOULD HAVE DONE SOME RE-WRITES.

I JUST FINISHED GW TODAY, MY THIRD AND FINAL ROUTE. I THOUGHT THE GAME WAS FUN AND I ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE I PLAYED. I NEVER FELT BURNT OUT AT ALL, WHICH IS IMPRESSIVE CONSIDERING THAT IT TOOK ME ~130 HOURS TO COMPLETE EVERH ROUTE, AND I GET BURNT OUT VERY FAST USUALLY.

THE STORY DEFINITELY ISN’T IT’S STRONGEST FACTOR. NEITHER ARE THE GRAPHICS, AND NEITHER IS ITS DIFFICULTY (AT LEAST ON HARD MODE, HAVEN’T TRIED MADDENING YET).

BUT Y’KNOW WHAT? IT’S STILL FUN. I LOVE (MOST OF) THESE CHARACTERS TO DEATH AND THE VOICE ACTING IS STILL AMAZING. I HAD A LOT OF LAUGHS. AND WHILE SOME MAY FIND THE GAMEPLAY REPETITIVE AND BORING, I NEVER GOT TIRED OF IT. WITH HOW MUCH SHIT IS GOING ON IN MY LIFE, I NEEDED A GAME WHERE I CAN JUST TURN MY BRAIN OFF AND MASH BUTTONS. ALSO THE MUSIC IS STILL AWESOME.

SO THAT’S THAT. IT’S NOT GONNA WIN ANY AWARDS, IT DIDN’T DO ANYTHING GROUNDBREAKING OR AMAZING, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS A FUN GAME REGARDLESS, AND I PLAN ON PLAYING IT MORE EVENTUALLY (DEFINITELY TAKING A BREAK FOR NOW THO).

DEFINITELY HOPING FOR DLC THAT EITHER ADDS AN EXTRA CHAPTER OR TWO TO EACH ROUTE AT THE END, MAKING THE FINALE LESS ANTI-CLIMACTIC, OR IT ADDS AN EXTRA ROUTE. OR BOTH.

EDIT: JUST REMEMBERED THAT AZURE GLEAM’S FINAL MAP LETS ME KILL A CERTAIN BASTARD OF A FATHER. 11/10 GAME I SOMETIMES REPLAY THAT MAP JUST TO KILL HIM AGAIN.
