I’m so fed up with AI: The Somnium Files’ "jokes"😭 I really want to see the resolution of the murder mystery because it’s super engaging, but there’s way too much and the writing of everything that is not mystery related is terrible The two next screenshots are part of "action" scenes! 😬 - ThreadSky

And just as I say that I find the next plot twist and I’m recontextualizing a lot of the things I saw previously suddenly and I’m SCREAMING and why isn’t the whole game just focusing on that?!

"way too much padding", damn where is that edit button :(

(also, I’d like to correct myself, not everything is wrong, characters relationships are actually ok, but everything "light-hearted" / "jokey" is bad)

(I would add "and as a Frenchman I’m offended" but look, I’ve seen the last election and the most recent election polls in France, and I don’t really think we deserve that much respect as a country right now, so sure, let’s say that)

The sequel improves upon the first in every possible way. Still some cringe but nowhere near as much

Oh thank god, I want to get more of the good parts (plus I’m a big fan of Uchikoshi’s previous games!), but I’m really annoyed by the bad in here

TBH, it annoyed me more while exploring because it's like 80% of the background interactions and the puns translate poorly in most cases.

I cringe at every single action scene being resolved by the use of porn magazines related jokes, there’s no tension, nothing good about them >_>

I can’t help but feel this would’ve been better as a typical VN, and removed a lot of useless stuff

Yeah, I'm confused about Date's characterisation, it doesn't fit that he's such a perv.
It's like they tried to give a City Hunter vibe but failed miserably.

Oh that's a good parallel!
But still! Why does even the idiocy spread to NPC guards?
Yesterday I cleared shootouts where they got rid of all of them by throwing porn mags and bras and it was not a great scene =/

I'm being told the sequel improves on everything 🤞

I hope too, this part felt like a Ryu ga Gotoku sub quest 😂
