discussion Do you like porn games being difficult?

[User_132796]

I'm here to beat my meat not the game so make it as easy as possible

 

[user2386]

Branching paths and such are good, but when it comes to the minigame stuff i usually prefer just not engaging with them or turning them off, so no to the difficulty lol.

I once tried to go through Black Souls II without i guides, I even liked it, so if the gameplay is interesting and intuitive, what and where to go, then yes

 

[creepypantsman]

Honestly I hate it when I am into a game then I discovere the game wants me to actually grind levels and do alot of shit to advance.
I don't want the porn to be handed to me but I don't want to be grinding and team building and all of that, I am not here for that.

There's so little patience in me for more than 2 lines of text much less challenge.

That sounds more tedious than difficult.

Why would you want a porn game to be difficult? To be similar to real life?

I don't like them to be too complex, I think they have to be fun and simple.

 

[AbbaDoo]

No. I don't want a challenging FAP. Just enough of a challenge to increase the suspense and make "unlocking" a new level feel like an accomplishment.

But if I have to grind some event for 20 times in a row just to advance the game, hell no.

Real life?! He said difficult not impossible.

Myself I like it if there is some level of difficulty. Not Souls game type of hard, but it should make me feel like I deserve the wank. If not it just doesn't feel like a game and more of a "click-a-button-to-get-to-the-next-scene" thing. And I really hate it when some games fakes difficulty by making you grind for shit.

 

[siegberd]

rather balanced I play souls like, but not porn games

 

[bolobolobolo]

I hate when a see a game with a cute girl, download it, and is a hard as fuck jrpg. Dude I just wanted to see some boobies

 

[titntwbs]

I don't mind a little challenge but I don't want to spend hours trying to figure out wtf to do or how to get to what I'm really there for. I really appreciate games that give you a clear idea of what you need to do to move the story along

 

[jdtg1911]

Once it stops being fun or interesting, its gone

 

[dank04]

If you're referring to the minigames, I need them to be easy enough to play with my left hand

The difference between challanging and being just tedious is hairtine.
Some games i enjoy playing others call tedious and visa versa.

I like playing games.
I enjoy it when a porn game has accauly gameplay.
But a lot of "games" are just visual novels with needless busy work.
Here is a simple question: Does the gameplay in anyway change the story?
If the answer is no you just have a visual novel with busy work.

A lot of sandbox games have this anoying idea that doing busywork to continue the story is gameplay.
It is not.
It is just putting busy work to continue the story.

Lets take 2 games i praise a lot.
Free cities and lab rats 2 Reformulate.
Both give you a lot of options, the ability the fail and characters react differently depending on stats.
They too have there but you must moments but they are few and far in between.
Or black market.
If changed it from a brothel to a storehouse management game it woudnt make a difference in terms of gameplay.
But the gameplay remains this fun little challanging of making enough money to pay your every increasing debts.
I failed a few times before finding out the right combination.
And it has enough tools to have challange runs.

I dont like difficulty in porn games because porn games arent difficult.
They are tedious.
An easy trick for simple but effective gameplay loop:
Create a money making mini game.
Create a lot of stuff you can buy with that money that effects the game.
From stat changing food, to sex toys to stuff that let you make money in the background.
Take free city.
I play it on normal and often have to restart because i didnt whore out my slaves.
I can lower the difficulty and make enough money or i can do a better job or running my economy.
Thing is.
Ruining a city and slaves cost money.
I can be a ruthless exploited that whores me slaves to death.
I can be a kind hearted capitalist that sees slavery as saving poor starving people by giving them a life long job.
I can remake rome, create a new culture.
I can be as cruel or kind as i want.
But all of that cost money, reputation and control.
Resources i need to gather to build what i want.
That is what games should be.
A toolbox for you to get what you want.
You can open a door by lockpicking it or smashing it open with a hammer.
The door opens either way but a broken door cannot be resealed.
But if you are shit at lock picking.....

 

[lewdito]

not dificult but not so fast to the sex scenes too

 

[Python3]

I like a slow burn, but I get frustrated when it comes to "you missed the afternoon event with X because you had too little Y, now you have to grind for 20 minutes to get another chance!" and cheat.

If I want my sex life to be stymied by lack of money, I can have that in real life, thank you very much!

I'm not big into difficulty for the sake of difficulty in games in general. I'm sometimes in the mood for a challenge and can engege with games that provide that but sometimes I just want to be entertained.
For porn games I'm definately in more of an interactive fiction headspace and usually recognise typical challenge elements as padding.

 

[notabadone]

not difficult, but with a small challenge. dont want that much stopping me from jerking off

 

[godfather_loki]

don't get me wrong, I like a challenge, but when all the blood flow in my body is not in my brain, I don't want to have to think about how every choice is going to effect the outcome and I hate when games are like you need $10k to buy something, but your job pays you $5/shift, like really, who has time to commit to grinding 200 days to buy the next item to progress.
