>>1191499 It isn't. What made Slay the Princess good was even though the devs are lefties, they deliberately left any sort of politics out of the final product. Scarlet Hollow is them indulging but Slay is them trying to appeal to a broader audience.

>>1192438 On the other hand though, there are people that think it really isn't a love story but more like, as Johnny said in one of the streams on describing the relationship between Quiet and Shifty as, "sadomasochistic existential masturbation" of a God. They WERE a singular being at one point, and is part of why The Narrator gets so disgusted whenever The Princess and Quiet have their moments with romantic subtones, in a way, he's narrating masturbation. It also reminds me of a very similar character doomed to be in a really shitty franchise, that is, League of Legends. Kindred was pretty much The Grim Reaper/Death, or simply called The Grey Man, which in his loneliness split himself in two different beings so they wouldn't ever feel alone again. Wolf and Lamb, black and white respectively, much similar to our case with Slay the Princess.

>>1193160 Also worth mentioning, Wild's voice reminds me a lot of Kindred where it has that serene tinge to it.

>>1192625 Which is why people actually bought STP.

>>1140674 I am solitary lights in an empty cityscape, Anon. What are you? Weeks mean nothing in the maw of forever. The Saturday StP thread tradition never left your side...

>>1192625 There wasn't any significant leftie politics in scarlet hollow It wasn't as good as StP, but that was for other reasons

>>1198507 >There wasn't any significant leftie politics in scarlet hollow I haven't played it because it looks too gay and tumblr for me, but what do you mean there are no leftie politics in it? Look at your love interestes. Do you see any conventionally attractive girls here?

>>1192625 I mean, the guy took his wife's name and then hyphenated his own after. And their official discord asks for pronouns and other such cancer, plus as far as I saw, Hollow has this shit in it too. I seriously don't understand how they managed to make something so good and inject none of their personal retarded views in it... I doubt I'll ever touch Scarlet Hollow. I don't want to sour what StP gave me. I'll just pretend they made their magnum opus and stopped making games.

>>1198581 Faggot, fat negress/goblina, fat redditfag atheist, Abby Howard self-insert but way less fat, gay nigger/troon. Beyond grim. Based on that alone I will ignore it.

>>1198581 I'm impressed they managed to make STP one of the best VNs ever made.

>>1198581 I mean we don't have to spend 20 minutes watching someone moan about traumatic discrimination Some people are black or trans, and they don't bring it up, like in real life They are actual characters beyond these things, because the writers have their shit together, unlike the standard lefty spam >>1198772 Aren't you just a bundle of sunshine? Abby actually self inserts as the fat black one and you can also romance faggot's mother if you made the right choices I do want you to be happy anon You don't need to play the game >>1199422 It's quite an impressive feat

>>1198581 Pug girl is not exactly ugly, she looks like someone that a normal guy like me could hook up with. Unfortunately she does look like my aunt and not in a wincest fuck yeah way.

I'm glad we can post lewds here.

>>1193644 Exactly.

>>1199474 Weri good post saar, apply for 500 rupee bonas saar! What is there to be a bundle of sunshine about? An indie dev that I loved and support making some gay shit that's designed to be as unappealing to me as possible? I genuinely adore StP with all of my being and the romance and connection I felt to the princesses and Shifty is something I've rarely felt in anything, which is why it saddens me they are making this fucking mess now. Someone who understands romance, growth, philosophical dilemmas, interpersonal relationships wasting his talents on this trash is just depressing. Why would I possibly want to play a game with current year San Francisco or LA or whatever checkbox cast and every starbucks cuck/theater kid cliche stuffed into it? Call it having high expectations if you want, but still. Also, both niggers and trannies bring up being niggers and trannies ALL THE TIME, so even that part of your comment is just wrong. Tony, are you lurking this place now?

>>1199857 I mean I dislike StP lewds, but both of those Adversary images are hilarious.

>>1199422 Not just as a VN, but as anything with a romance element. Thorn, Dragon, HEA, the cabin/godhood endings with Shifty, even Redeemed Fury are just fucking sublime stuff. I forgot the quite, but I saw an Anon say in one of the weekly StP threads, "the highest praise I can give this game is that it sincerely made me cry. Nothing hits a cynicalfag harder than sincerity" and it stuck with me. The game awakened some things in me that years of cynicism and apathy hadn't successfully crushed.

>>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
