Love is Blind - Episodes 1-4
Feels like I should just start sideblogs now that I'm branching into so many fandoms, but oh well they're all the same genre with overlapping fandoms so you get to deal with it.
Initial thoughts...
It goes too fast. Way too fast. I get that a lot of the show is based on the wedding planning stuff, etc, but we get 1-2 dates with these guys and have to choose based on those?? In some cases you're getting proposed to on your first date?!?!
I would've preferred the dates portion get spread out over a longer period. It'd be nice to get to know the other women a bit better, have more time to spend with them, have more rivalries and love triangles. Just flesh it out a little more
At first I thought I was gonna just play this once and that was it, but... well... I have 3 profiles already for THTH so I used them all and have 3 ongoing routes
Part of that was because the people I was chatting with when I first started playing met different people, so of course we had to figure out the variations and meet everyone! But I also liked more guys than I expected
Nico's my first and main love, I'm apparently a sucker for an accent and he's got the right mix for me. Sexy, dangerous, but he's looking to settle down. Perfect!
I had the mystery man glitch at first so I didn't get the mystery man dialogue with Nico but it's the same for everyone
In that sense it's a little disappointing that the sleepover date and mystery man stuff is shared dialogue/gifts but whatever - I give them a little leeway because it's the first season
I'm with Blaze on another route but also want Zayid - however I did a route where I didn't accept any proposals and got dumped, but a week later got a call from Sofia, who said I'm going to Mexico. So I get another chance and can't wait to steal Zayid from Autumn!
Overall, at first I was kinda meh on it but it grew on me. I think it's a tough show to translate to a game so for that reason I understand why they rushed through the first few episodes, but in future I would like to see a bit more of the pods (especially since that's what gets heavily promoted for the show) and get to know the characters better before accepting proposals.
