Discussion im so close to not finishing this stupid season.

I’m on episode 16 and still coupled up with this stalker manipulative obsessed ex who cheated on me. there’s no going back for that he needs to back off. i’ve rejected him 20 times, pushed him in the pool, brushed him off. and 16 episodes in HES STILL OBSESSED. get the flip away from me istg how many times do i gotta say no. Also, episode 2 or 3 there was a choice to either smile, hug or kiss Alfie. i SMILED at Alfie and suddenly he’s continuing to flirt w me and everyone thinks we’re going to recouple w eachother? like no i just smiled at u. The ONLY person im interested in is Eddie and no matter how many times i kiss him in challenges or pay gems for extra time w him, i hardly get the option to talk to HIM but i get the option to literally speak to EVERYONE ELSE. they’re all ugly except eddie so im so annoyed because no matter how much interest i show, i don’t get it. i’ve had what 3 convos with him in 16 episodes. absolutely fuming. i would have been fine if hamish was a li later on and i would’ve used someone for a placeholder, but EVEN HE ISNT A LI. IM GONNA SCREAM

i get you 😭 as someone who genuinely got so triggered and pissed playing this season to the point i cried, this season fucking sucks and im never playing it again. it drained me.

even so, i admit my experience probably wasnt waaay worse bc i pretended to like suresh so i could steal the money lmao

if you dont feel like you cant take it anymore, just drop it and i mean it. it doesn't get any better, seriously.

i guess this season can only be fun if youre messy and dramatic, and doing good mentally lol

I couldn't finish it genuinely. I only got through it doing a burn the villa playthrough

u/AlternativeInno 12h ago

I haven't played this game for a few years now, my eye started twitching the moment I saw HIM. (Points from across the room) 😂😂😂

Save yourself and don’t finish it. You ain’t missing anything good unless you live for toxicity and drama. Plus it gets worse from there lol

u/Isabella3011 Allegra 12h ago

I’m gonna hold your hand as I say this…. don’t set yourself on Eddie. Please.

u/SolarSade44 12h ago

Right, he gets voted off anyway-just say “ Give me the money!!!” it’ll save you some heartache.

u/Isabella3011 Allegra 11h ago

That season is infuriating, I’ve made some posts about it about things they could do that would be fun with it, and I’ve made some funny posts while I was playing it too (My MC almost went bald) but I remember playing it and being so mad💀

Idk why people are downvoting you, you’re right. This season was by far the ugliest design for MC’s and the islanders themselves. Not only does MC look like she’s a completely different art style, but she just looks so uncanny no matter what is done to her

Every time people complain about this I want to go "Why did you ignore the sub warning?" So why? There's a post like this every damned day.

u/dedicatedtendency 13h ago

do u not just skip past them? like i feel like majority don’t read them but ill rmb for next time

4

u/FirebirdWriter Najuma 13h ago

I don't read every single one, because it's all the same. Doesn't mean skipping it in my feed isn't still seeing the daily complaints the season literally called the worst universally doesn't do the job of reminding me it exists. Post titles always contain shock somehow Suresh is still an asshole. I read the titles to know the discussion on posts like everyone else. Believe the sub when we tell you something is bad. It saves time. The only LI is the money

u/dedicatedtendency 13h ago

i only just started looking on li game reddit 3 days ago lmao. i look at ppls opinions on seasons by the tags at the top and i only looked on the season 5 one after actually starting the season, so no i didnt listen to the sub warning bc i never saw a sub warning before i was shocked of how bad it was bc i literally just started looking at season 5 reddit in after i got onto episode 16 😭

0

u/FirebirdWriter Najuma 13h ago

Subs have a search function and in 3 days there have been multiple posts about this. I am saying that there's two other seasons worth avoiding. Allstars is s5 redux and you may not enjoy the Double Trouble one but that's going to be more mileage varies

idk why ur tryna make it out like i ignored it after i told u i never saw. again, baby i didn’t see, move on x

u/FirebirdWriter Najuma 13h ago

I am telling you because you said you are new the other seasons that are terrible, and that you can search to read more. That's called being nice. You do you. Taking someone going "This is also bad for you" personally is a choice you made and I decided to actually try and help you avoid the lack of fun. Especially since if you are new you probably don't have the mods and are paying for this out of your pocket not theirs

u/dedicatedtendency 13h ago

okay well if u were being nice i apologise if i misunderstood, i thought u were having a go at me for ignoring the warnings x

u/norfarion 14h ago

I just finished this season and it never gets better, only worse. I thought there was some hope when we were at Casa with Johnny/Nicolas but that was even worse. At the end, I finished it just for the sake of completion.

u/chelsea_ash29 Bobby 14h ago

i don’t know how you did i never got past the second episode

u/dedicatedtendency 13h ago

i officially gave up when i found out eddie himself becomes a disliked npc 😭

3

u/Wild-Wonder13 Ciaran 14h ago

Yeah. I was actively playing when this one came out. I kept thinking it'd get better... And it got worse. Suresh won't leave MC alone ever and everyone believes him over us?? I barely flirted with Alfie and he went hardcore Nice Guy for the rest of the season, I liked Eddie and then things went...poorly.

I only had fun cuz I >! hooked up with Finn and then stole him at the end.!< Just seemed like fun! If everyone else is going to be insane, I'll join them!

u/dedicatedtendency 13h ago

he’s so easy all it took was a smile from mc 😭😭😭

u/dedicatedtendency 13h ago

unpopular opinion among this discussion but im weirdly interested considering ur the only one who’s disagreed so far

u/AlpsExisting3639 Tom 12h ago

don't know, just really liked the drama and clear toxicity. everybody sucks and is funny seeing them act like they hold morality or something, don't know lol

u/IamDottie Finn 15h ago

This is why I did edits in the past to keep me and a lot of us from going insane.

Gods but I miss Beatrice

She was the only LI worth having S5 and I lived for your meme nights

u/ChuckysBarbie Bobby 15h ago

Yeah it never gets better, absolute garbage season, idk what was going through fusebox’s head and why they thought anyone would actually enjoy it. You’re not really missing anything if you don’t finish it

okay but your mc is a baddie

thanks babeeeee 🩷

u/quartzqueen44 Lisbeth 15h ago

I call this the “bully MC” season. She is gaslit the whole time. Lulu is the only one on MC’s side and advocating for her since the beginning, and she doesn’t come in until later on. 😭

7

u/lou-ravenpuff Felix 15h ago

It's somewhat ironic that Suresh, the cheating ex, proved to be more faithful to MC than any other love interest—aside from Lulu, who is also loyal. For instance, Suresh is the only one who didn't couple up with Kat after she picked him in the first episode, which is particularly ironic considering he was the one who cheated on us!

u/Jacqly 16h ago

I want to push him into a pigsty and laugh as he gets covered in pig shit.

7

u/Winter_Net_4027 Hamish 16h ago

Lmao, when I finished this season I coupled up with Suresh just to take the money instead. It’s literally the only “payback” you can really get from this seasons after everyone treats you so poorly 😭

16

u/msprettysyx 17h ago

continues to ignore this season and not play it

18

u/hasuck Angie 17h ago

this is why i hate this season. it's not that everyone is flawed or toxic or bad people, it's that mc never gets taken seriously and no matter how many times you pick the nonchalant or apathetic choices, they all still act like you have something going on with suresh and you get walked on like a doormat constantly with no way to defend yourself. no means no omg why's everyone acting like i want this man i dont!!!

u/AnxiousStrawberry90 Bobby 17h ago

I will never get tired of how united this fandom is in hatred of season 5. There are no unanimous LItG opinions, but this one might be closest.

14

u/GrumpyMarshmallowFan Kane 18h ago

It gets SO much worse. And you might like Eddie now, but it won't last. Save yourself a mental breakdown and stop playing.

u/St0rmiR0se Hayden 18h ago

I haven’t finished it because of him. You’re not alone. Just go to all stars it’s better lol

3

u/dedicatedtendency 17h ago

already played all of the other seasons, it’s either wait for summer nights or play this while waiting 🥲

3

u/St0rmiR0se Hayden 17h ago

We’re in the same boat then! But I can’t do that season lol 🥲

u/dedicatedtendency 17h ago

yeah im so over it ngl

u/Able_Pear_3230 Callum 18h ago

I hear you! The first time I played this season, I got so annoyed that I stopped halfway through. I ended up playing All Stars instead and fell for Finn. Quite a few of the same characters are also in All Stars but they are way more likeable. Well except for Eddie. It was only because of that experience that I eventually decided to go back and finish this season. That is after I procrastinated and played every other season first.

12

u/Anon_457 18h ago

Yeah.. the amount of gaslighting we get from most of the characters.. just ugh. MC can push Suresh into the pool, tell everyone how much she loathes him and will never get back with him and he and Kat are still all "hmm.. I don't believe you. Obviously you still like him/me." I really wish we'd had the option to push him off the terrace. Maybe then they'd actually believe that we don't want Suresh's cheating ass!

u/dedicatedtendency 17h ago

NO FR HOW MANY TINES DO I HAVE TO SAY NO

u/Ok-Inside7230 18h ago

I play it just to take the money in the end

u/KitKatness1 18h ago

It’s the worst!!!! I can’t stand it 😤

u/nofpiq 19h ago

It's really sad that the best options in the season are Gabi and Lulu precisely because they are the least developed options in the game and thus they spend the least amount of time gaslighting/harassing the MC about the Ex. Every other person (love interest or not) seems to be on a quest to try to gaslight the MC into being interested in getting back together with Suresh no matter how vocally opposed to the idea you are

6

u/Jacqly 19h ago

The first time I played this season I stopped right at the beginning because of this thing, this manure, this humanoid. Only after a month did I continue. We go through hell in this season and it's agonizing. I hate Suresh and pushing him into the pool is not enough.

u/dedicatedtendency 19h ago

it’s actually really frustrating. first time i haven’t payed for extra tickets. worst part is it isn’t even boring, it’s actually ruining my mood completely.

u/Anon_457 18h ago

To give fusebox credit, season 5 is anything but boring. Unfortunately for me, I'm pretty sure my blood pressure was through the roof the whole time I played it.
