discussion Plot or Graphics?

[meh_5000]

Needs a balance, if the graphics are too shitty then the story would have to be top tier to want to keep going. If the story is shit, then you're skipping all the dialogue.

Retro games from the early to mid 80s are fairly popular on emulators, etc. Now look how often the (few) porn games from back then get downloaded. AFAIK they weren't very popular then, either.

I love retro games.

But old porn games are shit.

Wiggling your joystick (no, not the one between your legs) to do some blocky sex animation in exactly the right rhythm to cum (on screen of course, because cumming IRL definitely isn't going to work)???

No thanks....

I only recently heard of one from back then called X-Man (nothing whatsoever to do with X-Men. And no, not trans either.) It involves a playing as a nude guy with a large dick in a maze trying to get to a door while being chased by crabs, scissors and teeth - trying to do just what you think. Getting to the door leads to what passes for a sex scene. The maze part was supposed to be incredibly difficult, too.

Graphics are nice to have but a good story is more important. Some of the classic games have good stories and graphics were up to date then. It was a different time. In 20 years, todays graphics will also not be state of the art .

Both, Plot is most important otherwise you might as well just look for regular fap material. But there is definitely a breakpoint where graphics can ruin the experience.

It's getting to a point where it won't get much better, especially given AI. If you look at what was good 40 years ago in the arcade would be terrible by today's standards for a so-so home computer game. It will eventually be good enough that an image/video from a game would be indistinguishable from real if it doesn't have a character doing anything that isn't possible.

graphics will always get me to download, but the plot will determine if I actually pay attention to the dialogue

Yeah, even RPGM is years ahead of VGA graphics age. Let alone if you really want to go back to C64 or XT/CGA/EGA times.

But I think I disagree with you regarding AI. What I have seen so far in adult games is not that impressive. At the moment I strongly prefer a well made game with Daz rendered graphics over AI.

Gonna be boring but totally a mix of both. Great graphics is a huge sell but its not gonna matter if the story is really really really bad. At the same time, a really good story is gonna be dragged down by bad graphics.
What I dont see here is anyone mentioning the third part of the equation: the actual sex scenes
Because you can have lacklustre grapgics and so-so story, but if the scenes are really well made then it can carry alot

plot! i can get off with very little in terms of graphical fidelity! and to me if gameplay is non existent or some babies first mini games if it has boring plot i may aswell just jerk to porn gifs and videos

The maps on RPGM look worse than what most did on the C64, at least the later ones.

 

[Lumiras]

Plot ! If it gets too grindy at some point or the story loses me, even the best graphics are useless.

 

[JasonS8426]

gotta be story. Graphics are all well and good but if that story doesnt match then its a pointless game for me.

 

[Antoni103]

Plot but it doesn't mean that graphics don't have their importance

 

[gestved]

In the realm of porn games, graphics are more important

you can enjoy a text based porn game but I'm not young enough anymore to get too excited by my imagination.

A horribly written game can still be plenty enjoyable with great visuals (or no plot at all)

 

[BananaPrincess]

How about better dialogue? I've played games with good graphics and plot and
the dialogue was terrible. Porn games often have bad dialogue.

I'm not saying porn games have to be a Stephen King novel, but I get tired of reading
the words Jesus, God, fuck; over and over and over and over and over and over and over and
over again in the majority of text .

i hate to say it, but graphics. but im pretty flexible when it comes to that, good pixel graphics are just fine, and good 3d graphics stylized or realistic. plot takes a back seat im afraid.

[hotrodjesus]

If its a 3dcg game, i find it unplayable if the graphics dont at the minimum have skin paws on their textures. I know that restricts the amount I can consume but im mega picky like that.

 

[xxxlugexxx]

both are important but a good plot is better
