discussion Games straight to point or games you have to grind?

[bruhen]

something in the middle i guess

 

[Gigaty12]

I like to grind mostly

At that point they should just turn game into a visual novel.

And that is just fine with me. As I said. I want a good story with natural progression. Choices are fine, but having to do the exact same thing over and over is silly. If wanted that, I would go play plants vs zombies.

Would you be more willing to do that for a game you've been following or do you just immediately drop a game once you realize you're gonna fall into the repetitive grind?

In the middle. the MC shouldnt just be irresistible immediately but also it shouldnt take a year to get to a good scene.

 

[LongSlongSilver]

in the middle as long as the MC doesn't start as an ultra wimp

 

[dreski]

Kind of in the middle, i want to be able develop the characters to a certain point but not know their entire life story.

It's nice when there's some grind, but you get small rewards as a tease along the way. Keeps me interested til the big payoff

Mindless grind in sandboxes games, no thank you. But if it's meaningful somehow and gives you a sense of achievement instead of endless frustration, why not

"Straight to the point" doesn't sound any better. I prefer when the relationship blossoms in an organic way so it can take time and the right decisions here and there for it to happen...^^

 

[WolfXDs]

personally hate grindy games. just proves the lack of content/story in game. so it is definitely not a must. i came across a lot of games here with sandbox style gameplay but with little grind:
Lucky Paradox
Deluca family
Sins of the father
Milfy day
are a few examples

somthing in the middle. some grind is ok but to much of it and it just gets boring

 

[Evil Avenger]

Something in the middle beetween the two choices. A lot of grind can be a Stop for me and , and for "straight to the point", i prefer to see the evolution of the relationship.

Hey,
what type of games do you prefer?
I can't really make up my mind about that topic.
Sometimes I like when you don't have to do anything at all to get to the lewd scenes in games and other times I like when you have to work for your pleasure. It feels more satisfying then for me.
Two of my favorite games are OSiL and Bernd and the mystery from Unteraltenbach.
OSiL is really straight forward and a pleasure to play but for Bernd to get the girls he likes you have to work hard and fight through numerous Game Over screens if you messed it up.
But if you finally hook up with the girl, the excitement is even bigger for me.
So, a quick fap or pleasent anticipation? What do you think?

depends what I'm in the mood for. I've played games on both ends of the spectrum and enjoyed them. Sometimes I want a quick wank and sometimes I want to be treated like a princess and be told a story and sometimes I want to work for it.

Depends on the type of game and the 'grind', if the grind is just lots of story between h scenes then it really depends on how invested I am in the story. If its stuff like do x task 4 times every monday, then generally not. The exception is when developers use those repetitive tasks to further the story, so its not the same scene every time.

 

[Tenebreaux]

I like a nice balance. If it just goes straight into the Lewd-ness hard and keeps going like that then it's kinda too much of a good thing.
So, I like some intro to set the scene and MC, then a little hint of potential Lewd, then on to building characters and story a little and then some Lewd, then story again, Lewdness, etc. etc.

Pretty much this. I don't mind a bit of a slow burn but I loathe grindy sandbox games with a passion.

 

[blackstars91]

straigth purely cauz grind are kinda poorly made the only i can think is actually ok is headmaster and Hail Dicktator

 

[Karamchad]

straight to the point is boring, watch a movie then
the difference between movies and gaming is that with gaming is more personal. VNs make you actually feel for the girls and get closer to them. More gamey games with mechanics and stuff are fun to play with a different reward, or even better when the sexuality is part of the gameplay

 

[hubbabubba]

Only grind I am focused on right now is for LC

 

[stumpy007]

Grinding with a story that has strong, well written sexual tension is usually better than non-stop meaningless sex scenes, the pay off at the end can be worth it. Humor, when appropriate is also a must.

 

[Kugatsu500]

The only point for me to play AVNs are either porn, or story. If I want to grind something, I will play Elden Ring, or GTA Online or something like that. If I play for the porn, I want to see the porn, and if I play for the story, I want to get to it. I know some people despise kinetic novels, but honestly, they don't bother me nearly as much as some grindfests where you have to grind points with the girls, and money, and this, and that, just makes the whole experience boring to me.
Not that I will never play them. If the LIs are likeable enough, and the story captivates me, I have no problem with it. Harem Hotel and Lucky Paradox are two games that I like that have some grind systems.
