discussion What's your unpopular opinion about a popular game?

[fallendarkstar]

This one's about a genre. NTR/cuck content is only good if you are doing the NTRing/cucking. And NTR >>> cucking. He doesn't need to know his wife/girlfriend is my slut. He'll find out when my baby is born.

Also, sharing in a harem game is lame. And no, inter-harem love is not sharing, because they are all your toys anyway.

SFW:
1. Monster Hunter series. First I watched my cousin play the games and I thought it's uninteresting. Later I saw so many people praising World, I watched it on youtube and thought it is bad. Then I bought a bundle of of World + Rise + all DLCs together with two other friends and we all dropped World after 1h or 2h because we decided game sucks. I tried to like it and tried to understand why so many people love the games but no, they are just bad
3. I think Marvel Rivals is more of a social experiment than a game. Giving you bot matches in pvp mods so you want rage quit after losing few games in a row. Rigging ranked matchmaking balancing things not to your skill but to make you play as long as possible. Chinese censorship on the west - you can talk about 9/11 or how much USA sucks but you can't type "1989" or "fuck China".
NSFW:
1. In general, I think eastern porn games are way above western ones. I am not talking here about art or direction differences, I am thinking about overall quality and management. I hate how most of western games are about supporting creator on patreon and similar, making the development lasting many years more than it should and devs rarely finishing the games because it is more profitable to not finish them, and if they finish it is obvious many ideas the dev had at the start got abandoned midway (by some side content cutting off out of nowhere" or that the ending was rushed and came out of nowhere.
2. "The Guardian" was average at best, but I heard so many people praising it as one of the best here. As for reasons why I think that you can check my review of it.

Based takes

SFW:
2. I often preferred 3D Sonic games than 2D. Both Adventure games, Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog had more serious story and it worked for me. 2D games are too "kid friendly".
NSFW:
3. I believe there is no point in playing abandoned/mid development games. I always wait for a game to get "completed" prefix before checking it out.

i don't agree.
i am very past the point where something being made for kids bothers me (hell, most nsfw parodies are from kids media if you think about it);
and i love checking out abandoned games; it's kinda like going on an archaeology trip, for some projects i am really invested in i collect every update and if possible decompile them to see what changed internally. there's a lot of shit people forget to take out of beta builds. for example, if you decompile the abandoned beta of Iboobs2 by Wexeo, you can find like a dozen tiktoks of girls he was creeping on (no joke, download it right now, change the .exe into a .rar and it's all there). I think all games should be preserved, especially those that are incomplete

Being a Dick is pretty mediocre. Super boring setting and the visuals are not that great. Not to mention the boring freeroam sections.

I totally agree with you.

 

[Noci]

There is such a lack of quality loli / loli-ish games that even bad ones are praised because there just isnt anything quality. I honestly dont think there is a single game where "loli" is a major theme that has a good story, not a single one. Replace the loli models with aged up characters and 99.999% of all these games would be forgotten about and ripped apart for how bad the stories and characters are.

There are some, however all are japanese with 2dcg.

Western loli games peaked with Unteralterbach, and the zeitgeist that made that project possible is long dead.
the internet got normalised and with it, all niches have been ostracised; i realised this when a decade ago i noticed that shadman's site removed the loli tag
dig a bit and you'll find most animators and artists were drawing lolis and shotas ten years ago, and now they are scrambling to delete the past

Grandna's House. Too many characters, I just couldn't remember their names, against a very weak plot comparable in its level to teenage fanfics. Hence the empty, completely two-dimensional characters with no background behind them. There's just not a single character there, neither MC nor NPS evoke the slightest empathy. After two hours of “enjoying” this “masterpiece” I regretlessly deleted it for good.
Of the popular games (for various reasons, I will not describe in detail, otherwise a small essay will turn out) in the black list I have:

Reunion;

Love & Sex: Second Base;

Summrtime saga;

Taffy Tales;

Being a DIK.

 

[itachipain22]

Eternum, in the Spanish-speaking community (discord), highly recommends this game, but when I played it I didn't like it very much and I didn't understand its story.

I didnt really like it that much either

 

[life.on.europa]

Grandma's House is overrated as fuck, too many characters, not enough development spent on each of them, and all of the women have this irrational obsession with the MC and his horse cock, it's just too much, he also comes off as so hypocritical when he says in one breath "I have too much love to give, I can't stick with just one woman" and in the next breath forbids his women from sleeping with other men in the name of "safety", it just doesn't make sense. It probably doesn't help that I'm into sharing/being shared IRL so Harem games with a huge amount of women all clamouring over the MC kind of take me out of the game.

 

[Jarvis]

SSP it's just an incest-fest with great renders, the story is not even mid. People often call SSP the best game cause of the renders, which are in fact way above the other games

 

[Gornpa]

probably not an unpopular opinion but i despise the hell out of 3dcg games, specifically the ones that have the style of games like Being a Dik. also dislike most VNs because although I am trying to beat my shit, I would also like to play something fun at the same time instead of clicking on the same 2-3 spots on the screen to decide what to do.

I kinda agree with this. For me the story seems to be adding twists and turns for no apparent reason and without any real consequence.

I do think the renders are top notch.


WVM - This game started off strong but then just quickly became a bizarre power fantasy thing where every female in the college wanted to have sex with this guy. I think within a week he has a harem of like 40 women at his house, including his mom, his adopted mom, his basketball coach, his university dean, whoever. They're all living there and wearing matching clothes. It's like a cult.

 

[badboy696]

i think all western style art games like "summertime saga" are boring in Animation and story compared to others. way too much interactive gameplay, way too less actual S*x

 

[Dario]

DMD becomes boring after MC takes her virginity. But I also think is something I see in a lot of LIs. The buildup is fun, but after popping them I just want to look for a new target. Lol!

 

[Tmon32]

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 everyone was happy about father godwin, God I can't stand the guy, hell, playing as him was torture, but yeah, he's like one of the most beloved, I actually skipped his quest first game.

i fully agree with you

 

[aillz]

SFW: Idk if this is even unpopular, especially with this niche crowd, but Fortnite killed gaming the moment they started doing collabs. They created most of the non Gacha elements of Live-service games that are killing all current games in 1-2 yrs.

NSFW: Ai should be banned from most/all creative mediums. Ik its not a particular game but man is it infuriating to think of all the artists, animators, and writers who can't even make some money making their own smut cause Ai can spit out more slop than them. I guess for a particular game I can say that A House In the Rift is disappointing; having a great cast of characters, setting, animations, and general story but has dragged on sooo long. Also struggles wth the "MC says a different and more detailed version of the option you pressed that you may not agree with" trope.

I agree with grandma's house completely, but I need some elaboration on Summertime saga and Taffy Tales. I was younger when I enjoyed them and haven't played them in years but I thought they were alright?

 

[lolas razor]

the new m+ season in wow is peak

Once upon a time, Summertime Saga seemed like a truly breakthrough, revolutionary project. But gradually its shortcomings began to appear. No, as a sandbox, the game is perfect. But didn't you notice the almost identical NPC face templates? But this is a trifle, given the origin of the developer, we сaucasians seem to him all on the same face. Then, I don't live in the United States, and I'm not interested in the wokie stuff. In general, a porn game with a political bias is absurd.
As for Taffy Tales, it was ruined by the overworking with the division into seasons. Why stop a nearly completed project for the sake of Steam?
Besides, these games started being created almost a decade ago. And they stayed in the era of the 2010s. The time has passed for reanimation, a lot of very interesting projects have appeared, which surpass the quality of the aforementioned veterans.

DMD is one of the few I've experienced in this genre. As far as LI's unless you are forming a Harem, less is more IMHO.
Also, it took too long to reach completion. The slow burn to build Romance is fine, but it can be easily overcooked.
DMD is also an example of choosing to have the LI kiss look like they are trying to deep throat the camera lens.
I far prefer the up close shots show a side profile of the MC, and proper kissing/necking.

 

[Silicon12]

Never liked Genshin impact, The ladies are great and the lolis too, but a gacha where I saw one of my friends waste 300+ $ trying to roll for klee? yeah... fuck no, also it becomes way too repetitive, same with ZZZ, even tho the girls are great and there are some shower scnees with burnice, the world and gameplay are so lackluster......
