Slay the Princess: Pristine Cut Anonymous 04/16/2025 (Wed) 01:02:45 Id: 4b7b6e No. 1092649
Verdicts on the Slay the Princess now that it's gone through it's final updates? It's one of the most interesting VNs I've ever played and I find new things each run. Remember, this is a love story.

>>1201030 >What is there to be a bundle of sunshine about? Tabitha
>>1201030 Bro, if you can't deal with a little bit propaganda in your games, you're a bit of a winger. It's one thing if that's the core loop of the game, but it sounds like it's just a big fucking maze of a game with love it or hate it art and a little bit of alphabet puke.
>>1201115 >Redeemed Fury I like how both the Cold and Broken through, sheer apathy or the genuine belief that nothing could break you any further. Pretty much stopped her woman moment.
Well boys, it's been a honor.
>>1205107 Awfully short for a suicide note
>>1201774 Yeah, and both the new(?) art sucks and the propaganda is retarded. So is the rainbow puke. I don't HAVE to deal with propaganda, that's the point. I don't like these fugly characters. I don't play games to be reminded how retarded the real world has become. That's why I just won't play it. I pre-ordered the Collector's edition of StP, the vinyl, even got a poster and two Steam copies to gift to friends in addition to mine. I felt they deserved the support. It's just sad they decided to go they route after I loved StP so much and they're clearly capable of making a game that doesn't adhere to Weimar cancer California sensibilities but choose not to.
>>1201829 Cold is the man. He comes in clutch in some of the worst situations and saves the day, but Broken redeeming himself here (arguably) and in Apotheosis was great to see too. I really liked how you can show compassion to even the worst vessels and get some mutual understanding. It's a fucked up situation that isn't fair for either of us, but adding more hurt to the existing hurt is just pointless and I genuinely didn't want to be cruel to any of them. Not even Den or Fury. After all, it was still my choices that molded them into this.
>>1210793 Not trying to be a dick about it but I'm quite sure they'll dip a bit more further into the StPverse after Scarlet Hollow since I frankly don't see it becoming as much as a hit. Not that it'll bomb, mind you, it just lacks presence overall in comparison. While StP has such a stupid amount of potential to dwelve further into, I honestly enjoyed seeing people coming up with new Princesses even if it was mostly for fetish sake, there are people that do make some interesting spins to it. The Wild was one of the most interesting routes for me, over the glimpse or something much more on what once was and is the closest to a prologue exposition
>>1212012 Really enjoyed Networked Wild too. Wounded wild was heartbreaking, and I didn't see any reason to hurt her. I got it once but I truly don't see the reason of splitting from her for the route. "Kill me then, if you hate me so much."... But I don't, I never have. I never hated her and turning to anger and bitterness was the exact opposite of what made Thorn and TpaTD so damn good. It put all that misery in perspective and let us bury the stupid hatchet in a way where we both grow. I also really enjoy the way Apotheosis, Wilds and Shifty work in parallel to each other, especially with the musical motifs. Apotheosis being the closest to Her but incomplete and not looking to be with you truly, other than as a witness, while Wild being so close to both us realising our godhood and that we were once one. Man, I love the game and its world. I hope they get back to their senses after SH. I will ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist. I don't want to sour myself.
>>1212012 >Scarlet Hollow Looks like shit.
>>1212575 Wounded Wild is what I ended up getting on my first playthrough since I got eaten by The Beast(stood around like a retard since I didn't think she'd outright vore me) and then stabbed her heart so, it made sense at the time to split ourselves as I had to agree with The Narrator as I didn't know better at the time, that we are two separate beings, and leaving Wild embedded within the cabin didn't feel right so I cut her free. Plus, I believe in forgive and not forget, doesn't mean I'll think less of them, just that at one point they did fuck up with me and it takes time if able to mend that, doesn't mean that I'll turn my back on them either.
>>1144491 If possible, re-use this for the next OP People won't have seen it
Im going to slay the -AAAAAIEEEEEE I got all cgi's for most of the routes yet Im missing two pics on the initial princess. Do you get them in the actual SLAY the princess ending?

>>1466269 You DO know about The Look right /v/?
>>1465337 No, you just need to be a dick to her in all 5 routes
One last bump, the digital artbook is finally available. Uploaded here. https://pixeldrain.com/u/WJyFgLUC
>>1866552 Good shit anon.
>>1198581 >>1191499 >>1198581 There ironically isn't any significant leftie politics BUT as you yourself and >>1198772 noticed these characters don't really endear themselves to you. Of course you're not really the audience either and you can tell outright the males are fetishized for that "particular" group. The forums have females swear by them, they're full of shit by the way or willfully delusional. You got a shit dad with a bara physique, a transforming monster who is undergoing munchausen who can kill you with a tap, and a nice guy who somehow manages to be the creepiest of them all because of his rape like tendencies, through no fault of his own but holy fuck is it creepy and it won't leave your skull when you realize he's drugging you with a smile. The unromancable males are the only ones that feel human. Of course theyre old as shit and normal as dirt. Females are all right, not really anything i'd write home about or recommend. If you going into this game for romance you WILL be disappointed frankly half the time it feels like you're cucking your cousin the other half is a trauma dump. If you go into for mystery and the super natural. I'd think you'd find it enjoyable. I would in fact argue its kinda better than STP the highs don't drop compared to some of the princesses more mediocre routes. >>1201774 Nah nah nah, fuck propaganda. So many fucks that have never known suffering and live in ivory towers all the while pushing unsustainable and bullshit ideas in a passive aggressive manner makes me want to punch em in their smug passive aggressive face.

>>1867019 Sounds like a horrible experience just to get a few measly nuggets of the good stuff. Just like early 2000s shounen harem manga!
>>1867815 I'm only telling the truth, no exaggerations. This is one of those games where if It didn't have romance it would have stood alot stronger. I only played through it because I had feeling the writers that did slay the princess couldn't be that bad.
Abby and Tony despite being left leaning are unlike most of their peers in the (((indie))) gaming scene, are able to keep their shit to themselves in order to make something most people can enjoy. STP became a huge success both critically and commercially, because it was a weird fucking love story between a bird guy and cosmic horror shaped as Princess, that wasn't afraid to give some real dark humour or get saucy. But underneath all that it was a genuinely sweet love story and that's why it sold, others would've made rape allegories or some other leftoid shit but Abby and Tony made a game people can enjoy.
>>1873336 I didn't see it as a romance game until the second route when the Princess lost her Tsun and went full Dere on me and was like wtf is happening?
>>1873367 Anon they tell you before the main menu " Remember, this is a love story."

>>1873402 I played the demo before they added that in. :^)
>>1873482 >This game is cpu intensive lol, will never not be funny
>>1873482 >>1916975 I never once had a CPU issue unless the older build was janky.
I have no interest in playing it again just because of "updates" Was good the first time I went through it though
>>1917192 I didn't I can't remember hearing of anyone who did, So I presume it must be the previous version
>>1917405 The three added routes were the best in the game, but an interactive art only flourishes with the active will of the viewer, so you may well be better off keeping to your choice
giwtwm
>>1917192 see >>1916975 Pretty sure there was nothing intensive about it.
>>1917192 >>1918369 IIRC the earliest builds had a more inefficient boil effect and probably something with the images. The warning was probably more for the portion of their audience who only play vns and had older/weaker rigs.
