discussion Things You Want to See LESS of in Games

[User_56991]

Is this thread just about tags people don't like? Download content you like, and skip the stuff you don't like. I thought the idea was to list FLAWS that are particularly irritating.

* Engrish or just bad grammar. Get someone to proofread it. It's important.
* I get everyone has to be 18, but if so, make them look 18. You're not fooling anyone.
* Relatives that don't look alike. Pick a feature (hair color, nose shape, whatever) and blend it through to sell that this is a family.
* Lack of character arcs. Take your MC and the LI (or two) and decide how they're going to change over the course of the story. Then take them there with the plot. Without that, your "game" is just a glorified slide show. I'm just going to look at the images in the image directory or archive and delete it when I'm done.
* Lack of focus. If I see 10+ sex tags on a game, I usually pass. For instance, if I see "lesbian" as a tag, I expect it matters in the game and to the characters. If I play through and never see it, and then read in a walkthrough that there's one scene in a window if you chose option X on day Y -- essentially a lesbian cameo that doesn't matter to the story -- I'm going to be annoyed.

Unavoidable LIs. Not everyone is for everyone, and while I may really enjoy some of your characters, I might not enjoy all of them and don't want to have to sit through hundreds or thousands of lines of dialogue and multiple sex scenes for a character I don't enjoy. It's a mood killer.

I would personally like to see more games adopt the Harem Hotel format, with independent coexisting storylines for different characters alongside a central progressing plot. Alongside this, for the love of God, repeatable sex scenes please!!! Don't force me to make 50 saves to be able to re-watch scenes. As a bonus, this opens the opportunity up for stat tracking; let me know how many ml of cum I've filled my main LI with. It's fun.

Another one; please, ffs stop releasing games in 3 different, separate Ren'Py executables with 2 add-in files. Stop making me load in save files from other parts of a segmented game. Just release a game, and update that game. I'd much, much rather have a 6GB download, than 5 1.2GB part 1-5 downloads. It's an awful end user experience, especially when using Android, and it immediately turns me off of a game. I either won't play it at all, or I might attempt to get it to work *once* and if it fights me I'm done with it.

Footjobs, handjobs, basically any non-penetrative sex. It's way overused. Why would I want you to use your hand or feet if we've already fucked?

 

[MasterShifufff]

definitely less futa

 

[Loliholic]

1. Dicks
2. Coming home/waking up from coma after x years and fuck the family
3. Sisters with boyfriends
4. Corrupting girls until they jump everything
5. Futa/male protagonists
6. Time skips (i want to see progress, not just the results)
7. Unavoidable niche kinks (add what you want but dont force me to watch it)
8. Surreal body proportions
9. Brainless protagonists
10. Games without proper story and dialogues...and terrible english, be it lousy tranlations, fucking slang, simulated speech defects or anything else no online translator can identify.

What does Ll mean? I was racking my brain and couldn't come up with an answer.

Thank you.

What I dislike are games that don't have galleries or replay rooms. I actually like the galleries with the unlock boxes showing that I missed something and need to make different choices in the game. HOWEVER, I'm not a fan of the games where they have the most convoluted unlock conditions. I shouldn't need a walkthrough mod telling me I ate ice cream on the wrong day.

Also, I'm not a fan of the games with Bad Endings that are basically the YOU DIED screen in Dark Souls. If you're punishing me for making the wrong choice, just don't give me that choice.

I’d like to see less of forced linearity where players don’t have meaningful choices or consequences, as open-ended exploration adds depth. Also, fewer microtransactions or pay-to-win mechanics that affect gameplay balance. Overused clichés in storytelling or characters that feel one-dimensional would be another thing to reduce, as fresh and unique narratives are more engaging. I’d also appreciate fewer overly repetitive gameplay loops that don’t add value to the experience, and less emphasis on overly flashy graphics at the expense of gameplay or story quality.

pregnancy, scat, vore, gore - all these things kill games for me

 

[wazzup]

futa cuckcold ntr gore

 

[IFF01]

NTR,FUTA,SISSYMAKING, and over inflated body parts

 

[Almirage001]

overly oversized penis for some characters...

 

[tritus]

1. Feetjob
2. Games with attractive girls who aren't love interests.
3. Games that start as VNs and end up as a sandbox. I immediately uninstall it
4. MCs that are fucking pussies. Who wants to play as a fucking loser?
5. Annoying 'best friends' that perv on the MC girls

 

[ArgishSraomai]

Pregnancy, Or At Least Have A Switch To Toggle It Off

 

[DeusX]

NTR outta nowhere. I can avoid games that are clearly leading to NTR, but there have been games that just add it randomly without building it up.

 

[ツSisterSexualシ]

Useless walls of text and less text in general, i came here to see lewds, not to read a dumb and pointless porn novel full of random dialogues lmao

 

[Aboba236]

huge tits and huge cocks, to my mind its only for fetishists, not for normies, also i hate identical boring girls in vns, lol, u are making a videogame, characters must be interesting and different

 

[anixx]

For me, the interaction with the MC male friends. I usually skip them.

 

[User_149890]

Futa and NTR
