discussion Do you skip through dialogue to get to the sex in games?

[scarlett]

If the writing isn't engaging but the animations and story premise is good I might skim read and then properly read around the sex scenes or where there is a paragraph or more of text. But ultimately if the writing is bad it's probably going in the trash.

 

[garei15]

If the text is repeated, I skip it. I also skip it if I replay the game by a different route.

 

[smlem203]

depends on the writing if its bad skip

 

[Captain Panda]

If writing is awful I'll delete the game.

I second this was about to say the same. I'll just skip the game and uninstall

 

[blueskye]

Depends on the writing, good writing I will read. Bad writing, im just there for the scenes

 

[FixWill]

Nah, if I don’t get what’s going on, I’m just not into it.

 

[RainbowEraser]

Usually no, but if the game hasn't caught me within 15 min I tend to start skipping.

 

[Mageborn]

I play for the story primarily, so no I won't skip the story, lol.

 

[relldrih]

It depends on whether the game is any good or how much I want to get off. If the game sucks but the porn is good, I tend to skip to the good parts.

 

[Sertinus]

not most of the time

 

[sommerlager]

If it's well written and worthy a read (e. g. you need to get important info) I don't skip it. Some VN read like rubbish though.

 

[ThatGoblin]

only if I'm replaying certain parts or it's a really annoying character.

 

[zygge]

sometimes you get good renders and bad writing.
sometimes you get good writing and bad renders.
so I focus more on the good bit.

 

[Wolflorz]

Depends on the game and whether it's a scene I have not encountered before (assuming it's a VN). For top tier games like BaDIK, I never skip a line.

 

[jacky76]

I read everything to immerse myself 100% in the story

 

[Dnch2019]

Skip 100% There porn games not full blown AAA games. hell i even skip those. play to get my rocks off not to write college level book reports.

 

[TheHolySin]

Depends on the game, if it has good story then I don't skip it.

 

[BadJM]

No... if I just wanted to watch sex scenes I would watch regular porn. For me the story in an adult game is as important as the sex scenes.

 

[Charon113]

Only the games that are boring and/or linear...

 

[LUVGAMZ23]

TLDR = I skip, checking for the points below, and seeing if the sex scenes are good, average or just bad.

Online website if I can. Download here, then skip text if I can't. Obviously, sandboxes are a no-go unless completed and high rating. At full skip, this is my criteria.

5 minutes (at full speed) with no lewd (not necessarily sex) scenes at ALL= NOPE.
Tons of single choice delays and/or phone pop up that you HAVE to click to move the story because... can't answer that actually (HATE phones IRL, NOT playing one) = NOPE.
See rapid graphics-text of [Unavoidable Bitch Character critical to the plot] ex: angry face, MC face sorry, more shouting face, repeated multiple scenes = NOPE.
See tons of Choose Your Own Adventure nonsense choices (Go by Car, Bus or Metro) and THAT will affect something MANY releases later (assuming I stuck with it) = NOPE.
The latter isn't player agency. At least not for me. I see it as either mindless replay, or time to pull out pen and paper to make a choice diagram tree. Yeah that's fun.

Having studied stories for a bit in college, the story really doesn't matter because the rules have to be followed. Exceptions occur, but I don't live by them ex: lottery.
Specific Example: Heroic Journey. Does the hero answer the call? [Fake choice, which I HATE btw, which is why I prefer porn and god mode gaming]
A-Yes. Right away. Therefore the cost is the people left behind that should come back in the quest as physical or emotional opposition. (Why did you leave me? sniffle)
B-No. But then something happens to force the MC to go anyways. Popular Example = Star Wars. Luke says nope. Aunt and Uncle dead. Luke goes.
C-No and doesn't go. Well... then there's no story is there? Or they move on to Potential Hero 2 and many readers / viewers go "Well, that was a waste of 10-15 minutes."

So yeah, I wanna see porn with new faces and new coat of paint.
Once in a fucking rare while, there's a great story in a porn game, but even the ones I give 5 Stars for story... I knew how it would end in a general sense.
I'm not saying that's bad. I'm saying that's story.

BONUS POINTS: Please tell me that these aren't the requirements for MOST (common things are common) of the following Porn Genres:
Harem = MC better than most males. Women grudgingly to eagerly share the MC. Power fantasy where the MC MIGHT struggle, often doesn't, and wins in the end.
NTR = Loser or neglectful MC. Main LI drifts away out of sadness, frustration or malice. Meets bulls. Slow to rapid cheating and/or corruption. MC unable to exact revenge on LI.
Romance = Balanced struggle of MC with Slice of Life problems or faithfulness. Cheating and/or violence will have a cost. Reward for MC and LI staying true. Often a slow burn.
Incest = Often, no problems with the taboo. Emphasize relations during sex (Mom! Son!). Detractors are the EVIL uptight enemies to be fought. Generational Inbreeding is ok.

etc... NOTE = I DID say common. Exceptions obviously exist... and people like me don't like them. I want the product, not the story. And I prefer CG stills to live porn streams.
