THTH Season 3 Thoughts

It's been awhile since I've done a thoughts post, but we're over halfway now, and I definitely have some thoughts.

Overall, I'm enjoying the season - I adore Taz, and I look forward to playing it every week. However... I also have a lot of criticisms.

The Love Interests

The love interests are carrying this season!! Taz is the only one I'm really in love with, but I think they're all really good and well-rounded, and there's something for everyone. They have a lot of depth, their loyal routes develop at a really nice pace, and I love that they can be customized! They're the best part of the season and imo they're what make it as enjoyable as it is. Unlike...

The OG "Friends"

I hate them all, and I have since the very first week. Sean is a self-centred annoying asshole (I know some people like him and think he just needs to mature, but he's a big fat no from me). Victoria is an ugly bitch who just uses others to get off. Julian has annoyed me from day 1 with his dramatics, and I didn't like Giselle either but she's only gotten worse and worse. Like girl, if you don't even like Sean that much, maybe don't have sex with him? She's being treated as a sympathetic character, but she wasn't being manipulated or emotionally abused, and she could have spoken her mind. Asshole.

I honestly have had no desire to take the options that give friendship points, so my meters are barely filled for any of them and as a result I lost money when they didn't agree with me when I wanted to forfeit $10k when Poppy and Julian were in the suite. Oops.

The FTL Routes

I really like Avi, and while Poppy was annoying at first, I know people who are doing her route are really loving it. I love the slow burn friends-to-lovers thing so I really love this element - however I would have much preferred it if they were OGs. For Avi especially, it didn't really make sense that he kissed us on the date only to immediately friendzone us. I think it would have made so much more sense if he were there from the beginning and we started out purely as friends.

The "Spy" Storyline

Not a fan of this. Bad Lana is one thing (we'll get to that) but I think this just... doesn't make that much sense? idk. I don't have a fully fleshed out opinion on this or how I'd do it differently, but I think it would've been better in a season without Bad Lana.

Bad Lana

I watched the new season of the show where Bad Lana made her appearance, and I do think it's really neat that they were given that info ahead of time to add it to the game. However, I wish they'd followed how it was done in the show, where the Bad Lana ruling period was at the beginning (they did mention that they had this as well and had lots of fun with it), and then the two people who took advantage of it the most were sent into banishment. Having another Bad Lana ruling period (and then adding the banishment which is coming up in the next episode) right in the middle of the show just doesn't work quite as well to me?

Also, what is the point of getting green lights during Bad Lana's ruling period? We could kiss without them anyway!

MC as the Bombshell

I have mixed feelings on this - I loved being the bombshell and getting the free pass, however... there's just no impact. You pick an LI, you automatically connect, and other than Carmen, none of the partners really care? I would've preferred coming into a situation where the couple was actually a couple and I had to work a bit to turn their head (or maybe even switch to the other person, that'd be fun).

Tying this into the Bad Lana point above, I think it would've made a lot more sense if MC were an OG in this season to experience the Bad Lana period at the beginning. Kiss a couple people, get sent to banishment. To me, that would've been a lot more interesting.

Branching

The branching has been fine (although there have been some continuity errors if you stick with the same LI each time), but I think it was better in S2. I remember always being blown away by how much branching there was in S2, and this season just hasn't had that. It's still good and nothing to complain about, but I'd like to see improvements each season, or at least keeping the same level, rather than taking a slight step back.

Especially now that there are some people who are being banished despite not breaking any rules? How does that make sense? At least in S2, you could be eliminated or not depending on your choices.

The Spicy Scenes

These have been great so far, and I love that they're personalized to each LI and stay consistent with their character. No criticisms here!

The Confessionals

I love, love, love that we don't have a whole episode dedicated to confessionals anymore. And no more dumb quizzes

Cliffhangers

Please, for the love of donuts, not every chapter needs to end on some dramatic soap opera cliffhanger. This week alone, the chapters end as follows:

MC is shocked to walk in on Jirayu and Carmen in the sauna

MC is shocked that someone is having sex (despite the fact she literally just had sex in my route)

Lana's announcement

It's just kinda cheesy at this point, especially the 2nd chapter ending. It's Bad Lana's ruling period, people are having sex, what is there to be surprised about? And the fact that sooo many chapters end like this? Walking in on other people, jumping to conclusions, etc. It's getting old. It's one thing if the whole episode has a cliffhanger of some sort (still not really necessary), but each chapter? c'mon. Let's stop with the dramatics.

Edited to add:

Background Characters

It's kind of disappointing that if you're not romancing one of the LIs, you just... never see them. The storyline is dominated by the "friends" and your own LI (and Carmen/Jirayu with a minor plotline), and then there's always that one other couple that breaks rules, but otherwise, they all fade into the background. It's a lot like S1 again, whereas one of the things I appreciated about S2 was that the LIs you weren't romancing were still a big part of the story. In S3, if you don't choose their scenes, you just never see them. I hardly know anything about Beatriz, Carmen, or Isla, because I don't take their scenes and barely interact with them. On my Taz route, I've barely spoken to Jirayu or Matthias.

Now that we're pretty much locked in, maybe those characters will start being included more (like in today's episode where we had the chance for a threesome with the couple we've interacted with the least), but I would have really appreciated them being included more up to this point. It's a noticeable change from S2 and since I hate the OG "friend" characters, it's a real negative.

I feel like I had more things to touch on but I've forgotten them, so I'll stop here! Would love to know if you agree, disagree, or have anything else to add!

so. in my Theo play through, Theo said this

and so then I thought about it and now I wrote this (excerpt of an unfinished fic under a cut because of spice):

“C’mon darling,” Theo murmured against Ash’s trembling throat. “Be good for me, be so fucking good for me and open those pretty legs.”

Ash choked on a moan, their whole body shaking. “Theo,” they begged. “Theo.”

The musician only hummed, lightly dragging his mouth over Ash’s smooth, freckled skin, sipping the salt of their sweat off of the surface like he had all the time in the world, his hands relentlessly hitting every spot on Ash’s body that made them cry, that made them sing.

“You know how hard this has been for me,” Theo said, almost conversational if it weren’t for the sudden bite to Ash’s collarbone. “Being away from you all this time, stuck on this tour bus, unable to find time to do anything but write, practice, perform. Waking up in the night, hungry for your body under mine like this.”

He rolled his hips, giving them both one perfect moment of blissful pressure. “Just like this, huh?” And then he moved away.

Ash sobbed in frustration, tugging at the restraints around their wrists in vain. “Theo, please, please, please-“

Lightly, Theo laughed. “Darling, I’m nowhere near tormenting you just yet. Be good for me and keep making those pretty sounds. Gonna wring every last one from you, til you’re screaming my name louder than if you were a fan in the crowd.”

He dropped a kiss on Ash’s mouth, smirking against their skin. “Can you do that? Can you sit still and let me have my fun with you, make you beg for me to let you cum?”

Ash nodded furiously, body shaking with need. “Yes, yes, I can be good, Theo, please, I’ll be so good-“

“Shh,” he soothed, kissing them softly. “I know you will. So perfect…” he trailed off, his hand slipping between them to rub right where Ash needed him most, smiling ferociously when they keened, almost immediately tipping over the edge. “And you’re all fucking mine.”

I did nothing but love and support her and now she’s coming after me and I’m not here for it!!!

"come on luv, let's go on adventures together with just you and me, after we win this thing."

[luckyqueenreign]

I have never played THTH so I am playing the second season as my first ever AND Oh My God!!! This game!!!

At first I was like why can’t I date Santiago or Zayn I find them more attractive! I was settling between Wesley and Antione. I went for Wesley and now that man has me in a chokehold. I am lovinggggg him. I was so conflicted when Ryder came in because Ryder is so my type! I find myself stuck between them like I am Andy and Ozzy in litg but so much better because it’s so well written so far! I’m obsessed with this game now!!!

Everyone keeps saying Wesley is a copy of Liam from s1 but I didn’t play s1 so for me I’m not affected by similarities. 😂

Who are you going for first? What’s your favs so far and anyone you dislike?

I do not like Nora after how she was being about the Zayn and Ryder thing.

Zayn and Santi are my boys this playthrough. 😤

No this season is SO GOOD!!! Don’t even go back and play s1 bc you’ll be disappointed bc this season is so superior already. I’m an Antoine girly that man has my whole heart rn but I fully understand the Wesley appeal. I will say I found it refreshing that not everyone was immediately in love with mc like s1 bc to me the friendships are just as fun as having a good li. And this season fully delivers both AND other people in the villa are vibing and having realistic issues for where we’re at! Zayn and Santi are my besties rn I love them sm. (Kind of wish there was a friends to lovers route with them) And I’m OBSESSED with Cassia and Elena. If any of the new ppl even attempts to break them up I will fight them.

Ryder is so hot but I’m trying to go for a loyal route 😬🫣 but the slow burn always wrecks me!!! And he’s a slow burn so we’ll see Lolol.

Same feeling about Nora rn!! She was so salty we interrupted her! Like girly you’re not about to lose more of my money that I need to spend with Antoine! And I haven’t fully made up my mind yet on Ryder so scram! 😂

[beesandfigs-abandoned]

Wait… I spoke too soon. Diego is definitely my favorite omg. I couldn’t break Sarah’s heart, but I’m for sure doing a Diego route next.

Too Hot to Handle Game - Season 2 Final Thoughts

Season 2 is finally over, and it's bittersweet. I'm sad to see it end but also very ready for it to end at the same time! I'll miss my favourite characters, but luckily it's not the end for them quite yet - there's a reunion episode coming soon!!

Overall, I can't say enough how impressed I am with this season. It's not perfect - there are some things along the way that make more sense on some routes than others - but the branching was for the most part so well done! Of course, with branching like that comes a few glitches here and there, but thankfully they've been fixed so for anyone playing for the first time or doing replays, there shouldn't be issues.

Speaking of replays... I actually want to do them! With the first season, I had 4 or 5 profiles going at the same time to romance multiple characters, and the story was so linear that I didn't feel any need to replay. This time, I'm actually excited to replay and earn all the achievements, try different scenarios. It does help that there's a skip feature because I probably wouldn't be as excited otherwise (other games, take note) but ultimately, this is a very replayable season.

The characters are all unique and have mostly unique dialogue (I'm always impressed to notice that even the kiss/sex scenes are different from LI to LI), which alone makes it worth replaying. Add in the other variables and ways to play the game, and there are so many possibilities!

If you like LITG and other dating games, you should absolutely check this one out

SEAN YOU IDIOT!!!

[thisghosts-obsessions-again]

What if it was Sarah and Dakota who were inside the shower?? Omg! Please! I need more THTH couples to ship over 🤭

[mskinkyafro]

Honestly this game is so good! I was skeptical how a game version of the show would work but I’m pretty invested. Idk how many routes or if it’s linear but I’m hooked so far! Also the customization is top tier. Tabou games is gunning for our attention and it’s defintely grabbing mine. I hope they make it available for all device types and territories soon.

Did the fandom see the Netflix trailer for that too hot to handle game yet??

https://youtu.be/TRxR65H50C8

Looks very fusebox tbh 😂 definitely gonna test it out!

Baaaaaabe I am already on episode 2, chapter 6. This game so far is damn near exactly what I wanted out of this season of LITG. It’s already spicy but holy shit they have such a diverse cast!

- you can pick your pronouns at the start

- you can play as male or female presenting

- huge variety of skin tones and hair colours

- the LIs are varied, there are just as many girls as boys, there is a non binary LI who is cute as fuck, and (almost) everyone is an option so far (god damnit justin grrr)

- ALL CLOTHING OPTIONS AND CHOICES ARE FREE IF YOU SIGN IN WITH YOUR NETFLIX ACCOUNT!!!!!

Babe I’m already writing ff in my head about it😂😂😂 let’s hope it stays this good!!!!!
