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

[F00F00]

nice balance of both
cant go wrong a large amount of content, but cant be sitting for a ton of time doing repetitive shit with no reward
also cant just immediately have an access to everything, why play the game at that point
id say solid engaging gameplay where theres at least some sort of driving factor that keeps the viewer engaged is key, even if it takes a while to get to a "scene"

Don’t mind a grind it it follows the flow of the story. Don’t like games that have a repetitive grind to earn points by doing the same task every day etc.

I like to grind in my games, like summertime saga or lab rats 2. I dont like games that make you needlessly grind for little to no reward.

i like to earn the scene rather that just having it. this is more plausible in vn.

For me it depends entirely on how fun the 'grinding' of the game is, if you know what I mean. If the gameplay is one-note, not particularly interesting, then the grinding quickly becomes a chore. But if the gameplay is fun and/or relatively quick, then it probably won't bother me too much.

I'd say that grinding doesn't bother me, but there are SO few 18+ games that do it well that I would prefer it wasn't there

depends on how much time i have to play.

Some grind is fine but once you've reached that certain point, a skip button is necessary

 

[evilhunt]

I usually play to jerk off so I find games that are straight to point. I dont mind light grinding. Also if cheats are present then it is fine

I have yet to see an adult game that has good gameplay or systems design, so grinding is a negative. Extended narrative experiences such as virtual novels can be great if written well, and there have been some action and even Metroid style adult games released that aren't terrible. Games that require grinding however, most of which are as artfully crafted as something off Newgrounds, are a hard pass.

Why put up with terrible 'gameplay' grinding for what is generally also low quality porn? Most of the creators with any sense of art are doing VN style content, and developers who can craft good game systems are better off making 'real' games that can reach a broader market.
