discussion Do you take porn games seriously?

[eljopo]

To me, Porn Games are just another way to relieve stress. They are, first and foremost, porn presented in a different medium. A more interactive and personal one, for sure, but it's just porn. Now, some Devs are very invested in their stories. And it's clear they have talent and a desire to tell a story. Sometimes the fact that it's a porn game detracts a bit from the overarching plot the game is trying to tell.
I appreciate every single dev that takes the time to craft and tell a compelling story, especially when they make it a free game. But...i still want to jerk off dude

 

[DaniGiggles]

Not really, atleast i don't see their stories and plots as immersive enough to "take seriously". They may have considerable work put into them, but personally i can't see them more than wish fulfillment simulator.

For me it's just porn with an extended foreplay.

 

[Barryton42]

No, its just for fun or to fap

 

[Rukvia]

Nope, not really. There has been no game so far that would actually make me think: Yeah, that could happen in reality.
For me, games are just that... games. Release the stress, enjoy the gameplay, explore an imaginary scenario and world. Games = fun fiction.
I only take seriously the actual construction and development of the game itself. Some things shouldn't be ignored just because you can. Ignorance doesn't equal lack of knowledge.

I don't know about taking these porn games seriously, but I'd be bummed out if some of the games I've played over the years got abandoned.

Depends on what you mean. The story in a game here can very well trump the story of a game you'll find on steam. Stories in Being A DIK or in Summer's Gone is, to me at least, very good stories that is captivating. I have played "regular" video games which far less quality in it's story. And yeah, given that the story is good, there is easy to care more about those games than about others.

About as serious as I take porn or games in general. Not very much. They can be seriously entertaining, but that's all they are: entertainment.

 

[legendaryjhon]

No, its just for fun or to fap

Same here!
Just to practice one-handed techniques and release the stress.

Do not underestimate the human ability to blow something WAY out of proportion. People tattoo their favorite sports team logo, have entire houses decorated with Addidas, spend entire paychecks on a single piece of fashion, propose to their hookers, base their entire world view off a single book, play Call of Duty competitively, and on and on.

My advice, take nothing seriously. Whatever is still serious after that might actually matter.

 

[Magooo]

No. Porn games should be fun, not serious. Also I am playing games with kinks I would never try in real life.

A well written character or story arc might do something for me, make me think about it, emotionally touch me etc. That is mostly not the case with characters or story arcs in porn games. It is also mostly not the case with other games or fictional content, but it will happen there more often. But that's usually not the aim of a porn game.

 

[jimmecimme]

Tbh not really, but I played one recently called sakura gozen and it completely caught me off guard. No spoilers but if you want a game with a surprisingly engaging story, check that one out.

 

[User_143196]

Not really. Just using it as playable porn.

 

[xartma]

Nope, some of the stories are completely insane. There is no way to take all of them seriously. This does not mean that they are not fun to play though.

Exactly. Games are meant to be a break from reality allowing you to explore things you would never do IRL in my opinion.

 

[Mr_Ozzo]

Yes, i try to take anything i invest time in seriously

 

[plainjane]

Exactly. Games are meant to be a break from reality allowing you to explore things you would never do IRL in my opinion.

Yup!! 99.99999% of the scenarios should or would never happen. Its an escape.

 

[Seo In-guk]

I mean as a normal game or just something you play to fap

Well if the design with animations are well built then like you said make a handjob :v

 

[badboy696]

Nope, its just like fantasy, like watching a movie

 

[DexterXSR]

It depends on the story, they release stress, but sometimes I'm in these to actually get invested into the story, not just jerk off.

 

[Genowefa]

No, it is just a fun and fantasy
