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

[User_120321]

I don't mind grinding since it gives me more time to get used to the characters, memorize them. Feel like you know them longer.

in my personal opinion, both are good. both have their positives. however there can be extremes on both sides. if its straight to the point, it can get really, really boring/quick and i dont consider that a good game. grinding a little adds some extra gameplay. now if a vast majority of the game is grinding.. im talking like 80 percent or more... its not worth it. unless its a rouge lite. those are basically grind fests that are actually pretty good. so i guess there are exceptions.

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?

Both are bad imo. Slow corruption that rewards time to time has to be the sweet spot.

Slow burn where the story progression guides the content is fine, I don't mind taking a journey with the writer. Pointless repeatable grind on the other hand just annoys the hell out of me and I usually either cheat to unlock whatever it is I'm grinding towards or drop the game altogether.

Grind but not for hours, maybe 10-20 mins

A little bit of grind makes rewards feel earned.

I like both, it really depends on my mood

 

[DoctorWells]

I don't mind a bit of grindto make something feel rewarding, but I hate when it's doing something over and over to pad time to make you're game seem more than it is

 

[TheLowEnder]

It depends on the games. I usually lean towards slow burns (but not sandbox grinding) but I don't snub the other category.
A game that goes straight to the point must have very good lewd content in order to interest me (ie Oh daddy).
On the other hand a slow burn game must have very captivating LIs and a story to match (ie Radiant). Otherwise I just find them boring.

I prefer to the Point without wasting much time, they are Porn games after all.

I don't mind building stats to achieve a goal, but it has to be balanced. I do not have the time or patience to dump hours of my day raising the level of a character by clicking 10 times to get MC out of the house, across town, then pumping weights, go back home, and clicking the bed to have to repeat it 100 times just so I have a chance of getting a date. I think the worst is time gating events. I don't like it when the only time I can advance a relationship is at noon on a Monday, leaving 6 days of empty clicking until the next event.

I think there's no problem in grinding if its fun, some games you just have to do boring things for 1hour so you can advance and... do more boring things

Then i'd play actual Games in which grind is actually worth it but not in AVN's but that's just my take.

 

[mikrole]

I prefer grinding but the right mix matters. Otherwise it gets boring or frustrating.

 

[lc1019]

It's fine if I can have fun while grinding, but I've never found fun grinding mechanics in adult games.

 

[kazu13]

I feel having choice is best as I have options and I am not a big fan of kinetic novels.

 

[fullreview]

Grinding is fine but reward should match that. For example The Twist has some grind in it but scenes are rewarding.

 

[User_123383]

I don't like games, where I get lots of faping material that I just click through. A good game mixes grind with some special events, like extra sex scene happenning sometimes in given location or during certain activity - i.e. shower sex scene, locker room blowjob or something similar when MC goes to the gym.

 

[Lumiras]

games with a good build up. I like the way until the first time, after that it depends on the story and the path I follow

 

[DadD]

Non of those two. Grind is no good, straight to the point also can be too boring. A little tease won't hurt.
