discussion Romance vs corruption

[Malaguart]

Both at the same time

 

[Sertinus]

depends on the story

 

[katori]

Corruption is a form of romance.

 

[User_174965]

i kinda like all of those kinks? it depends on the definitions though. What i will say is i'm not a fan of having to replay the game over and over for some small differences like, 'oh 500 scenes of the same stuff' but on scene 501 you get to romance / corrupt.

 

[User_174965]

i respect women so i choose the path that they would enjoy the most (dom)

I get that. I like the idea of joint pleasure experiences.

I like it when you have the option with the individual LIs. Can encourage multiple playthroughs.

 

[aubervilliers]

Corruption of course

 

[Carnagie]

I prefer romance, but a lot of it is that corruption routes tend to be written pretty weak/boring.

You know what's interesting? Taking a woman with very hard limits and slowly bending one, building on one initial incident to take it as far as it'll go while seducing her at the same time to offset the mental stress of pushing boundaries. Preferably you pull this off in such a way that she doesn't recognize what you're doing, or is otherwise forced into the situation (at first).

You know what's not interesting? Starting to corrupt a girl and she just straight up changes her whole personality enough that she's a different person with the same face.

Romance first every Time

 

[PROPH3T]

It heavily depends on the girl. I'll not romance a dumb, sassy bitch.

 

[Cybercatman]

It all depend on the story for me
for exemple, Corruption is more interesting when you focus on 1 character that is naive since the story will focus on how that character fall
While a romance is better when the plot juggle with multiple love interest as the story will be more about the relationship between the main character and those love interest

My perversions have evolved in my life from wanting my brother to come and corrupt me, then wanting him to think he was corrupting me, to wanting to get him drunk and corrupt each other. I think the best games use corruption to open up a love or desire that was already there. Otherwise it's rape and I am not into that at all (i did play blackheart hotel with all the dark options and I can't see why anyone would want that)

 

[User_24645]

Why not both? Maybe even grooming

 

[Renewed6105]

Grooming and corruption mechanics are great.

 

[Mageborn]

I romance the fuck outta em. If love options are there I focus that.

 

[Pouere54]

Not romance generaly speaking, but definetly not evil or corruption

 

[NovaJack]

Depends on the overarching genre of the story..
Generally speaking, if possible ..i'd corrupt/groom some 'partners' ..and romance others, especially if there is a harem option by the end of the game.

Im into both sides of the whole sexual kink/fetish system. both ultra dark/evil ..and Super Romantic/happy

 

[Rapenyan]

Corruption.
But mainly because most games have bad writting and the romance is too much vanilla slop. For romance to be interesting for me it needs to be something along the line:
"protagonist forces girl into heavy bdsm, she gets used to it and after some small acts of care for her wellbeing she starts to get attached to her tormenter" or such. Likewise, but instead for female protagonist games "the tormenter starts to display affection after the girl saves/help in some event"
Most other kinds of romance I find boring and off-putting, not having enough impact.

 

[GODSALADASS]

Both, I would love to see different scenes
