This game has become a global phenomenon, and rightfully so. It’s well-designed and well-thought-out. The characters are simply amazing, and the storylines are immersive. Maybe even too immersive. Some Love and Deepspace players noticed that their real-life relationships started crumbling under unrealistic expectations this game set.
Your Partner Doesn’t Have to Be Perfect
We all get carried away sometimes, right? If you’ve been playing Love and Deepspace for a while, you know how special the characters can make you feel. You are the center of attention, and they understand you and your needs. No matter who you are, you’ll be accepted and loved.
On one hand, that’s quite wonderful, and it can raise the player’s self-confidence and standards. Many people are underappreciated in their real-life relationships, and this game can make them realize they deserve better.
However, it can also give players unrealistic expectations of what a relationship could and should look like IRL. One player, Beginning-Inside8560, admitted: ” It’s very easy to fall into a somewhat delusional state when playing a game this immersive and intense. I’m almost 26, I’ve been in a stable relationship for several years, and even I got caught up in it a little. I started having unrealistic expectations of my boyfriend (who is a genuinely good person) and feeling bad because he wasn’t obsessed or devoted to me like Caleb or Sylus are”.
Maximum-Line-2138 added: “I think if it raises someone’s expectations to think that they will find someone who is filthy rich, perfect body and face card, who can be there at the drop of a hat because they have ‘people’, then yes, the game is setting unrealistic expectations”.
The Relationships in Love and Deepspace Lack Something
Sure enough, extremely hunky, thoughtful, and ritch men aren’t the only unrealistic thing about Love and Deepspace relationships. Several players pointed out that the problem wasn’t in the things that were there, but rather in those that weren’t.
GerryAvalanche noted: “In real life, there will very likely be misunderstandings and things outside of either partner‘s control that can bring hurdles into the relationship that have to be overcome together. In the game, you can‘t fail a relationship, the LI will always end up falling for you. Thus, the player never feels insecurity or anxiety about the health of the relationship”.
Another player, No-Turnip-5417, added: “I will never have to deal with Xavier falling asleep at an important family gathering. Or Zayne missing an event for an emergency, Sylus’s dangerous lifestyle, Rafayel’s disregard for his health, or Caleb’s possessiveness. Never have to flush a toilet when someone’s in a rush or clean up beard hair on the sink, never have to sleep on the couch because someone snores or fight about finances while grabbing a left-behind sock or three on the floor”.
Anyone who has been in a long-term relationship, even the healthiest one, will tell you it won’t always be perfect, and that’s fine. Unfortunately, expecting perfection can have a devastating impact on a person’s life. So, be careful, this game is extremely fun and exciting, but don’t let it influence your real life.
Now, this doesn’t mean that you should stop playing LADS. Just like everything else, this game also has its bad (ugh, the gacha aspect will bankrupt us) and its good side. So, try to get the best out of it. Enjoy storylines, and free codes, and have fun with all the hunky men.
