discussion Story or straight to the point?

[frighino]

How important is the story in an adult game for you? Do you enjoy long narratives, or do you prefer games that get straight to the point?
I usually prefer no story at all. Just a few brief, coherent dialogues to provide some context.

Depends on the quality of the work and the amount of effort justification that I can convince myself to do. There is something to be said about a very grindy or story rich game that rewards peak content at the end, but it better not be something that is "mid" just for me to have to grind 10 hours to see it. That will cause me to quit the game. I think that the story is important to me because otherwise I would just watch porn.

I think establishing relationships and power dynamics adds to the experience. Anything more than that is just distracting.

I personally like my story on the shorter side, but it still has to have some though put into it. Some games sideline the story so much that it ruins the larger experience. To my mind, if the setting and plot aren't set up properly, it ends up feeling like there are no stakes to anything.

Story is the hottest part. It sets the scene. To long of a story can bore me fast so something short and well thought out can enhance the experience tremendously.

depends on the game i guess.. if the story is good i just keep reading.. if the story is boring but the animation/art style/models are good i just get to the point
