I dont really like grindy games it kills some of the fun but I do like trainer games so i guess to all depends on what kind od grinding you have to do and how long. if it confusing or will take a really long time I will use cheats to speeds things up
I dont really play kinetic novels so all the vns i play need use a walkthrough It is a bit annoying if they dont have one posted cause some of the choices that set you on a path or give points make no sense to me
I enjoy a game with fewer characters if theres to many things can get confusing and you might have to while a while for your favorite character to get new content.
I used always go good but after awhile evil is more appealing to me and has more of the options I would choose. like not sparing someone or forgiving them. like at the end of a story the hero decides that killing the villain would make them just as bad that always annoys me.
