discussion How important is an engaging storyline to you?

[Chase22Roge]

I would say principle 70% to 30% where 70% - it's good decent graphics(renders and animation ofc) 30% story where not just story - but at least good start of situation or conflict.
Great Example AVN "Adriana Pervert Diary" - game not just typical story - but with passion - and how much she wanna corrupt her lovely juice(female character) wish she desire to get

I'd it depends, nice graphics esecially well animated with a boring story is great, but a good story setup / well-written character with so-so graphics can be fine as well

 

[Anon1990]

Both are important but if one thing lack a bit and the other is higher class, it still works for me.

 

[Djehuty]

Both. If one fails the whole thing crumbles, no matter how good the other is.

 

[alinar]

both without a doubt, i think I care more about the graphics tho

 

[SKABIO]

It seems to me that it is a combination of story and graphics in vn games, in rpgs story and game mechanics because the grinding can get out of control

 

[Zauldjamin]

I would say it's equal to me. with that said if the story is great but the gfx is terrible, it's a turn down and vice versa.

Graphics usually gets my attention. Good Story, Characters & their personality usually makes me stay.
I can't really pick one over the other.

Both, there's no other answers

Good story can carry bad art.
Good art can't carry a bad story.

 

[akka2020]

The story, but the graphics need a passing grade aswell.

 

[nexus55555]

Graphics. You can ignore a bad story if the art is good, but it's harder to ignore bad art, even if the story is good. At that point, you might as well be playing a text game.

The same for me.

 

[SegmentCoalescing]

Both are important, but the story edges out for me. That said, I don't like grainy Daz renders with non existent lighting or something put together very quickly in HS/HS2/Koikatsu with no real love behind it.

It depends on what you are looking for. Sometimes you just need visually appealing renders and other times renders don´t matter much and is the story that catches your eye. I tend to look more for a story focused game but that is just me.

 

[Antaeus]

graphics help but without a good story its mostly pointless

 

[User_85377]

Graphics, as it's needed to visually show the story or else just go and find an adult text story

 

[pearl]

don't bad graphics also imply the author is ignoring the cardinal rule of "show, don't tell"?

 

[capt21]

both are essential

 

[jeanbaklazan]

For me it's like 60% visuals and 40% story. If the visuals are nice I don't mind crtl through bad story, if the visuals are bad not even good story can save it for me....
