discussion Things You Want to See LESS of in Games

[magicace]

Giant monster tits, unrealistic renders, but above all, SOOOOOOOO much unskippable boring text.

 

[Dobermann]

Useless, Mindless Gameification

Empty, underdeveloped Sandboxes

Simulated Mobile Phone Texting ingame

AI generated Voices (fucking pay a Voice actor! Or ask someone to do it for free)

Voiced Main Characters

Locking/Deactivating the "Back" functionality in Ren'Py games

Items/Location based Save Spot in RPGM games

Not having a skip Option after seeing the same sex scene 2+ times

No clear marker for location transitions in Ren'Py games (have to fucking pixel perfect click the stupid door knob)

Ridiculously short sex scenes

10+ minutes intro/exposition without any sex/teasing or titillating content.

Dry ass sex organs (if your mcs cock looks like freshly bought dildo you cannot convince me that he fucked that chick for 2 hours)

 

[User_111574]

School setting
futa/trans
superpowers
monster girls
supernatural (yes, I'm materialist and atheist)
BBW
Giant picks
10+ Lis
idiotic plots

Guys with mutant horse cocks that are bigger than their forearms. Especially in Shota games.

When all the women in a game are too perfect and therefore no longer have any charisma.
You somehow get the feeling that every two women look identical in every game.

When tits look fake.

Forced sex, rape and blackmail

Endless grinding games

 

[Double07]

Or worse, the devs who seem to actually HATE sex. Looking at you, Lust & Passion.

If I can add to this the devs who take years making their games, but don't provide sex because in game it's only been a few days or weeks.

as seen in like.... 95% of all games

 

[BeautyEnthusiast20]

Absurd body proportions
Characters throwing themselves at MC at the slightest provocation
Devs who take away renpy functionality, like hiding the quick menu or discouraging users to skip - let readers play the game the way they enjoy it, even if it's not how the dev expects
The illusion of choice in games - if you're going to give me a choice at least make it meaningful.

 

[MattShizzle]

Go along with anything supernatural/super/etc. Also, any furry or with those stupid fucking elf ears.

 

[feralchild]

Too many heroines. I'd like to see 3-4 max love interests in games. More than that, then everything just gets spread thin. Content, writing, pacing. imo everything suffers.
I can see why a creator would want a lot of characters. That being they want to cast a wide net so one of the characters will catch the fancy of as many people possible.
But I normally pass when I see games as more then half a dozen love interests.

Also to add. When the MC has a gigantic dick. It's just so weird looking, especially character design in all other aspects has relatively normal proportions.

 

[User_56991]

Futa when the rendering is an amazing babe with a dick. They usually look a lot more androgynous. What's the point if the futa is essentially just another girl?

Bestiality. Not as an element in a game. That's fine. But when it is spelled "beastiality". No, it's "besti...", not "beasti...". Ugh, that drives me insane when I see that.

 

[qwertyzxcvb123]

Less ugly bastards of every variety
Less absolute morons especially moron protagonists

 

[SquirrelMonkey]

Gonna dogpile onto the overly large body parts

 

[LUVGAMZ23]

Daily life chit chat.

At the most basic level of writing training that I got in college, it was "Whether stories are about people, something real, or something fake, step-1 is to cut the boring things out."

Yeah. Slice of life VN are my favourites... in theory. But I can see why others hate them when the dialogue is often:

Hi.
Good morning.
You look tired.
Yeah, I didn't sleep well.
Want breakfast?
Depends. What are you making?
Eggs.
Does it come with bacon?

Holy fucking shit, man. I can see this IRL with NO DOWNLOAD. I'm not saying for her to jump on his cock as soon as he gets into the kitchen, but something about character, plot, setting.... ANYTHING BUT THE ABOVE!

As someone who uses Ren'Py's auto mode a lot, so much this. Every other choice in the quick menu has either a keyboard or mouse shortcut, but auto mode has to be clicked from the quick menu. I had to find out how to modify a game's Ren'Py code in order to add a keyboard shortcut for auto mode just for games like this.

The illusion of choice in games - if you're going to give me a choice at least make it meaningful.

Also this.

 

[Azil]

Forcing the player to do anal to advance the plot/a relationship. Anal is something I'm really not into, so when I'm forced into performing it it takes me out of the experience.

 

[A.K.A78]

Almost all you guys have mentioned... and i'll add 1.

That fucking park with the bench and the tunnel.... ARRRGGGGGHHHHH.

That fucking park with the bench and the tunnel.... ARRRGGGGGHHHHH.

And just from that I know exactly what park bench & tunnel you're talking about.

 

[felipe]

grinding, i hate when i must do the same actions for an hour for continuing to another scene.

 

[dereguedeixe]

Grind is definetly the worse but sandbox that take too much time

Any sandbox that isn't really open world, but just having to guess/find where the next place to go is. Better to just automatically go there rather than waste time trying to find it.
