I'm for having male friends and characters in the game if they are well written. I think that they should be able to have their own girlfriend (or even multiple girlfriends - if it's good enough for us, why not for them too) that the MC doesn't get involved with. It makes the world seem more...
Totally depends on the game and if I am in the mood for that kind of game when it updates. Some I will play every update, but if the update is small I may skip it until there is a bigger batch of content.
I'm pretty sure that's correct, but I'd have to replay it to be sure.
And I also interpreted ramvivat's comment as the girls already being pregnant being the 'official' story that the MC would tell the government regardless of who actually impregnated them.
Not particularly. It wouldn't necessarily be an instant drop depending on how it was done, but I wouldn't typically be seeking it out. Somewhat it depends on how it works with the story of the game and how graphic / disturbing it is. I could take a bit, but I don't want to be watching Saw in my...
Yeah, from reading the posted articles it seems more like the issue was that the images were uncensored than that they were AI. But of course AI will get the clicks, so they'll focus on that instead of the fact that it likely would have had the same outcome if they were selling uncensored non-AI...
Only if there are a moderate number of ratings. If it's just a couple ratings I won't put a lot of stock in it, but I'll pay a bit more attention if there are 10+ ratings.
Even still, it's more about the content. If it looks interesting I'll give it a shot.
Depends on the game, sometimes I'll do one, sometimes the other depending on my mood and which seems more interesting. Though if it has a dark route that usually means I was looking for a darker game, so I'll often pick that first. If one is the obviously cannon or more developed route, if there...
Depth and building up characters and relationships. Otherwise what is the point to having a game instead of just making animations that are more easily accessible - the game just becomes a cumbersome video player. The only exception would be if the sex mechanics/gameplay is highly interactive or...
I don't particularly care for them. Mostly because of the limitations that using existing images and video imposes. That limits the story and what can be done - especially if they are using video. There is just a limited number and type of videos each porn star has been in (and even then...
I don't really give them a specific amount of time. I will try to let them build up, but I will drop them if I'm not interested or engaged after a while. I might skim for a while, but if I am no longer interested in the story I don't bother sticking around for the rest. At that point other...
Generally annoying if they haven't finished the game yet. I can understand somewhat if they have majorly increased in skill over the course of the game development. But they if they are stopping making new content just to go back to the beginning to start upgrading then I likely won't play until...
Immersion as in the story is decent and doesn't pull me out with random crap or out of place references and forth wall breaks is good. But I don't expect high levels of immersive gameplay - that just isn't really feasible at this scale. So long as the game is internally consistent I'm consistent...
A good story is essential - especially long term. The main exception would be if the gameplay or mechanics are otherwise good, though some level of story helps there too (things like some mangment/sim games and such). Just a bunch of sex scenes is okay for a little bit, but will get boring soon...
The first computer I used was my family's old 486 with DOS and Windows 3.1. But I didn't really do much gaming until we had a Pentium II Windows 95 machine that we kept until the XP era.
My first console was a PlayStation 2 - significantly later than the PC
