I'm not that into lesbian sex in and of itself, but I am into drama, and adding lesbian stuff to a harem is a great chance to add more drama. If the characters have history with each other and it plays off that it can be a great scene. Not into dicks in general so I'll have to pass on the trans...
Probably not the best person to answer this as this isn't my thing, but I thought the trans storyline in Apartment 69 was very well done even as someone who isn't into that stuff.
I feel it absolutely happens but also people are too quick to cry 'milking' if an update is a couple days too late or the storyline they're personally interested in is going too slowly for their tastes. But it absolutely does happen and when it does it's very scummy behavior.
Yeah back when I only had toaster laptops I never had any problem running 99% of the adult games I threw at it, and its not like Renpy VNs have exploded in complexity since.
I'm pretty patient on this stuff. If it's something I've been waiting on bated breath for for several years I might be tempted, but usually there are so many games to play and sales happen early enough that I can just wait.
Don't have an example off the top of my head but it's definitely a turn-off when they insert an off-character rant about this or that political or cultural issue. Even when I agree it takes me out of the game and leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
I'm not offended by it by any means but I'm not that turned on by toy-scenes so I tend to skip over those a lot of the time. Definitely don't mind if they're brought up in conversation or whatever though.
Yeah, this is a key component. Two sets of tits can be technically the same 'size' but one can look a lot better because it has a more natural shape to it and compliments the body better.
Nope, kinda the opposite actually. I'm more into scenarios that don't even apply to me irl. I don't have a sister, for example, but like b/s a lot. While I do have a mother (obviously) and m/s does very little for me.
If your game is exceptional I'll probably be there for the next update no matter what. Most games aren't exceptional though, and if it takes longer than 4-6 months for an update its likely I'll have forgotten much of the plot/characters and be wary about downloading again and trying to remember...
Decent story/characters, though it can be tough to gauge just how good those are at first. I think the first thing I look for is if the game has girls that have different vibes from each other, when I click a release thread and all the girls feel like the same girl with different hair/eye colors...
