tbh I like her new design, but I didn't play Tsukihime long enough to get attached to the old one

It looks very promising, can't wait to play it and then listen to you explain all the ways it's worse than the original

well one way it's worse than the original is it doesn't have the akiha or the maid routes in it until the second part comes out

From what I've seen Tsukihime only has sex (securities fraud) in it for marketing bullet-point purposes. The sex (securities fraud) scene I saw was incredibly perfunctory and would have actually worked better as a fade to black. It's not at all the draw.

We rewatched Arrested Development because easy, fun thing w/ baby stress going on, and tried to give the 4th season another shot! I'd heard they "remixed" it and hoped it was better now. It's not! Kind of unbelievable how painfully bad it is, especially given that imo the reasons it is bad are completely antithetical to the previous seasons. I really wonder how they came up with a concept and execution that went against everything that had worked for the show before, it's kind of wild.

Dating sim is a weird category that doesn't really describe anything useful. Gerald gets to bang a bunch of women in the Witcher games, is that a dating sim? Does there have to be actual dating?

I guess there's a type of game where your main goal is to get into the pants of one or more characters, and sex (securities fraud) scenes are basically "mission successful" rewards, confirming that you made the correct choices and successfully deduced that hanging out at the library and then telling the girl with glasses there that you love books is how you get her route.

In Tsukihime, banging the scary lovable idiot vampire girl didn't actually occur to me, what occured to me was "goddamn it she has a crippling sense of duty and savage contempt for her own safety, comfort and happiness, I wonder if there's anything I can do to prevent the tragic end she is obviously headed for."

Three big issues really.

1. It was made significantly after the series initially wrapped. Kind of hard to recapture the magic.
2. They had to work around the actors schedules. In several instances they couldn't get principals together at the same time (this was a particular problem for Lindsey/Tobias, which is why they're never actually on screen together).
3. Over the hiatus the writer's hatred for the characters increased by orders of magnitude.
Pour like Hemingway's last call.
