discussion What ruins a game?

[Lonniel]

unnecessary grinding, and sandbox that could be a vn

 

[Lonniel]

Futa, female protag, NTR, wimpy MC, grindy, and saves that don't work EVERY UPDATE!! that kills it for me.

Me too Man, me too.

A lot of the things mentioned are just fetishes you aren't in to, read the tags/planned tags carefully and you shouldn't have this problem. What really ruins games are pandering to to casuals when the game blows up a bit.

 

[herelooking027]

Dev making a lot of promises to different people and making so many low-depth low-quality new things that what made the game good gets frozen in time.

 

[dweeb213]

bad art, bad writing, and too much grind

 

[barnabaaa]

unavoidable NTR, probably just not my pair of shoes.

 

[Underlord]

Being abandoned or forever onhold probably........

 

[sakolpat48]

too much grind make game boring

 

[F.Akely]

sandbox...it just seems like it adds a level of grind or clicking back and forth for little value. that and the potential to miss things. pass.

I think you ruled out every porn game there.

When a game is abandoned by the developer after absconding with the coveted Patreon-Bux.

Too many characters. Good dev knows to never overextend.
Introduce too many, you will alienate more people who were fans of the game thanks to the original cast.
Introduce too many and original characters get less and less content because there's limited time and limited slots for sex scenes.
Introduce too many and every character will feel less and less fleshed out.
Introduce too many with a branching narrative plot and you create way too many variables to remember.

Keep game cast humble but packed with content.

Too many grinds through side stories that are not connected to the erotic part of the whole story.

 

[Mr.Nobody]

Lazy game design or writing honestly ruins games more than anything

 

[menman123]

I think the worst part is when a progress path isn't clear.
Like the developers have 3 random events lead to a new pathway being unlocked.

 

[badburger]

NTR is the main thing that ruins games before they even start. Adding too many characters and making the story complex can ruin a game as well, better to just finish a game and start another one.

 

[Lazarus90]

NTR . Over complicating the story. Bad or broken English.

 

[tarchan]

Grinding, hands down.

 

[User_131536]

When the game developer gets too experimental and has to rewrite or rework a game instead of finishing it.
