discussion Plot or Graphics?

[JojoLomax]

I need both, I ain't too bright to write or too skilled to draw.

I thought you were talking about normal games
Guess i go with plot then

Playing VNs there has to be a balance of the two. Unlike regular games that thrive off good gameplay, if the models/scenes are horrendous it is definitely a turn off for me.

It's a hard choice but I would choose plot 1st and then Graphics

I know this is cheating, but gameplay. So i guess in that regard I'll skew more graphics than plot. Whatever you're doing though try and realize its meant to be enjoyable

A game with a great plot doesn't even have to have any graphics other than simple images.

 

[korochan48]

Plot always first then 2nd graphics. Both if can make it.

Without a good story, no amount of graphics can save the game.

Graphics 1st, Plot 2nd

 

[mikenuts666]

I know my -ahem- intentions are geared towards graphics, but a good plot can make me forget about my -cough- intentions

Both. Cartoon graphics do nothing for me, but a plot that is blueballing I HATE.

For me, it's more about the writing - setting the scenes, putting the picture in my head. Some games with great graphics are so boring they make me want to weep and I can enjoy a well-written text only game if it builds the scene well. There are scenes in Female Agent that I find incredibly hot, for example. When Newlife was still new, I enjoyed playing that. Both text-only games. A Wife and Mother is another game I find very erotic, even though it is slow and the MC model is not so much to my liking (ginormous knockers).

Plot is important to keep you intrested but games need good graphics to catch attention.

 

[lewder321]

graphic at first then the plot

 

[Aatrox13]

for me personally i can do 7:3 or even 8:2, plot is better overall, i've played shit with great renders, but the story/plot is ass.

 

[User_63980]

Both are important if one is bad it can ruin the other. I'd rather have good plot with no graphics if the graphics are bad. And vice versa.

 

[stangnomez]

Anywhere else I'd say plot 100%

Here, plot ~85%

 

[MattShizzle]

Great graphics can make up for a bad so-so plot, but even a good plot doesn't make up for cartoony graphics.

 

[azlocs]

Both, without plot is best to just download image packs, with bad images the game is hardly engaging

 

[DarkHarmonyNTR]

For me it would definitively depend on the engine is played on. Renpy: mostly graphics but there needs to be atleast somewhat of a good/coherent plot, RPGM is probably the opposite of renpy where there needs to be a good plot and gameplay but there also needs to be some effort done for the graphics whether it's DAZ renders or pixel art.
