favourite moment/least favourite moment

[john doe]

so of all the moments in all 3 time periods which moment is your favourite to choose and experience and which one is your least favourite to play? i need to think which my favourite was but i do know that late shift in the step 3 DLC was my least favourite moment to play because i was actually a little bored it was just working with cove at your job and then a small desert/dinner scene and that's it actually so from all moments that one was my least favourite about my most favourite i will think about that one and come back with an answer later on.

One of the hardest questions in life TwT

One of my least faves least fave would probably be Ghost. I felt like it could've been more intersting but I still liked the nostalgia anyway. I also wasn't a big fan of late shift. I LOVED the story, dont get me wrong, bu the gallery art from it wasn't really good quality. (I still love both of these moments just like the rest of the game)

Favourite moments however are harder to decide on-
Reflection I personally like a lot, because you learn more about why Cliff is the way he is. I also love how it shoes character development..
Road Trip has always been one of the best moments. No need to elaborate.
I also like any moment that has some FuNkY scenes just because I'm like that.
Thanks fro listening lol

Man this is tough, I like all of the moments hhh,

but I guess my favourite will be "Serendipity" from the Step 3 DLC, because it was fun seeing Shiloh and Jeremy again. I actually played XOXO Droplets a bit before receiving the Step 3 DLC, and the two grew on me. But it's also painful, in a way that we see Shiloh just... being Shiloh. In XOD, we can make fun of simp Shiloh easily. But in OL... it's just hard to do so. I've seen myself in Shiloh (which is really bad) several times, and that scene just made me realize I have to stop being this way. I can't forget the hurt Lizzie experienced when Shiloh revealed his true intentions. It's just seriously good, and gives me the hope that maybe he'll truly improve (but knowing him, probably not...)

@en I feel you on relating with xoxo characters, for me it was Jeremy and not just because of the name relationship. I always have for most of my life found myself totally depressed about other people and situations, so easily seeing the failures and the cause / character faults of the people involved / behind those failures. Unlike Jeremy though I've never been so passive about it, like i really get worked up to anxious levels over things when its clearly something so easy to understand / change and people just wont do it! lol But yeah like Jeremy of XOXO that never won me many friends.

The long day of Shiloh is def my least favourite because Shiloh.

ORCA event was the best one for me, sneaking out to dance with the fireflies was just really precious.

Least Favorite Moments.
Step 1: Long Day; too much Shiloh, not enough Cove. XD Also, I was kinda miffed that refusing to go to the beach because you were too tired just resulted in getting dragged along anyways.
Step 2: Family; as much as I loved the emotions and sentiment behind this episode, bringing the player and Elizabeth closer together, I was disappointed that the player would never know their bio-parents.
Step 3: Talks; I like Miranda, but I don't care for Terri. This episode was far too involved with them, although I understand wanting to help your friends through a crisis.

Most Favorite Moments.
Step 1: Ghost; I'm actually of two minds about this one. On one hand, I felt stiffed at not being able to figure out the source of the "noise". On the other side, I like having Cove nearby to comfort me.
Step 2: Escapade; I love the spontaneity of the episode, having Cove's mom drive us around and just doing random stuff together. Especially since I "borrowed" a pajama shirt of Cove's and didn't return it. LOL
Step 2: Road Trip; vacation with Cove and his family. Trip to a National Park with giant trees. Flirting and snuggles with Cove, wearing the aforementioned PJ shirt. 'Nuff said.
Step 3: Errands; shopping with Cove and buying groceries at a farmer's market together, almost as if you were married....Hmmm...a premonition of things to come? ;-)

Sorry in advance for the essay, I got a bit carried away.

Step 1:
Long Day felt a bit uncomfortable and frustrating without much to make up for it. I've been someone's obvious backup option way too often irl to enjoy it.

Picking a favorite is really hard in step 1, pretty much all of the dlc is great. They really captured what it's like to be a kid again imo. If I had to pick it'd be Runaway because of how realistic it was and the feeling of adventure. I was surprised the first time I played Our Life that Cove never really did anything like this.

Sleepover deserves a mention too, it was really cute and I found Cove really relatable in it. I have a very hard time sleeping with other people in the room or just out of my bed as an adult. I like the underlying message of "just because someone doesn't want to do a specific thing doesn't mean they don't like you." Baby Cove always trying to go out in the dark alone is also amusing to me for some reason too.

Step 2:
It's hard to pick a least favorite in step 2, I guess maybe Growing? I might be attributing part of it to the other moments, but it stands out the least to me.

Escapade would be pretty stressful and uncomfortable irl for me, but it wasn't for me, it was for Cove and his mom which was needed imo. Soiree wasn't my thing for the most of it, but running out into the field was kinda nice and Cove was pretty relatable.

I like Road Trip and Dinner the most for obvious reasons. Birthday was cute, but I felt a bit pushed to be social because I knew we'd become friends and I like Miranda. That was me and not the game though. Overall I liked it, even harassing Jeremy right back. Before it didn't seem worth it, but it felt right to get fed up and drive him away when you're already stressed from so much stimulation.

Step 3:
My least favorite in the whole game was definitely talks. It was stressful just reading about it and I felt uncomfortable meddling so much, especially if it hard turned out to be something serious. I knew it wouldn't go there, and I'm glad, but from my own experiences my first thought was the dad or someone harassing her. At the same time all of that drama for something that turned out to be simple miscommunication felt like it was all for nothing. I do appreciate Cove having some flaws and recognizing it himself though.

I also wasn't a fan of Serendipity. I just didn't get why the sister was so hung up on it, even the cameo at the beginning was a bit much but more understandable imo. He looked like he wasn't that far past being a toddler in step one, yet she's clinging onto him and getting so upset about the reveal like he's her boyfriend of five years or something.

Which would be fine if someone wanted to react that way irl, but it felt like the game wanted me to feel betrayed too with most of the options it gave me. I only cared because it hurt my sister, he gave me bad vibes before I even knew he was a cameo and you can't even be close to him. The way Shiloh almost seems to move onto you if you "forgive" him at the end feels a bit slimy too. Like he thinks you'd put up with whatever he did, which I actually liked because it cemented his character imo.

Reflection was great because we finally got to unpack everything and see more about his parent's history and personality. I'm really glad they didn't make either of them the bad guy, especially since usually it'd be Kyra and it felt like Cliff was borderline perfect apart from his meddling. The shared faults made it feel really realistic and it made sense that he had custody.

The rest of them are pretty cute, but I like Errands the most because of how protective Cove was. We both have the same aversion to surprises and being forced to change plans even if my reaction wouldn't be as strong irl. Walking around in a loud, crowded place under the sun is bad enough without everyone suddenly disappearing. It's just nice to be with someone who gets it and is looking out for you. The double gift thing was cute too.

Late Shift just had a nice calm atmosphere. Happiness was a bit much but it was nice to see Cove initiate and hitting him with a surprise he'd actually like for once. Thinking on it I guess it's not a coincidence that all my favs for step 3 feel like an already established relationship the most imo. Drive was nice because of that too.

My least favorite moment: Step 3 when Cove from friend become your boyfriend. The skinships interactions option should've be lighter-innocent with more options about consent toward Cove. Most of the time it's just "kissing" to break the ice...

My favorites moments: when the MC is weak and when they argue because in both cases I see the real Cove who doesn't put MC on a pedestal and instead being her equal (have you tried the option to be sea sick during the boat outing? *smirks). In those moment, he man up.
