Do You Grind Through Boring Gameplay Just to Complete the Gallery?

[hsimi]

Porn Games with Gameplay — this thread got me thinking about the opposite problem...

What do you guys do when a game looks pretty good, but the gameplay itself is painfully boring? Do you keep pushing through just to unlock every CG and complete the gallery?

I don't have that completionist urge at all. If I unlock one decent scene or reach one ending and I'm already bored, I'll usually drop the game right there. I don't even bother downloading someone else's 100% save to check out the missing CGs.

Dropping a game halfway through still feels a little wrong, but forcing myself to keep playing just feels like I'm punishing myself...

Once playing starts to feel like a chore, I'm done.

Short answer: No
Usually if a game get's me bored i'll just jump to another one, maybe i give another try later.

if it is boring i will use a gallery unlock or save file

i have to agree with the other two and say that if the gameplay sucks and i just want to see the scenes i unlock them in some other way

I mostly just use cheats or download a 100% save file. I'm definitely not going to torture myself playing a boring game just for a gallery.

Never. Dull gameplay -> trash bin.

If i like the cenes: yes!

If the game is boring from the beginning, then no, it gets binned or I find a gallery save if the scenes are nice.
Sometimes I'll play a game that's fun initially, but becomes a slog trying to 100% the gallery, in which case I sadly do endure it.

Depends on the game, but if I liked it enough to actually complete it typically yes. Exceptions when either the dev includes an unlock all button at the end of one route (basically acknowledging playing the game extra times is unlikely to keep you engaged) or on rare occasions when it literally requires a bunch of playthroughs from scratch with little variation to the story in the process (parallel type scenes but with early branching). Sometimes I regret trying to complete all scenes though if there is no hint in game and you just have to guess the location, trigger conditions, etc...
