I like this nuance. I feel like there's a lot of genre trope dislike here that is being applied to a whole medium. It's like people saying they'd never like anime because of x, y, or z trope. Mind you, I filter out the "real porn" porn games exactly because of those tropes; ie: same body types, static images, lazy writing etc etc. But, as you say I don't feel all of them have to be that bad. I have no need for them personally, as a lot of people have pointed out I could (and do) just watch normal porn, but it is not impossible for me to imagine one that I would enjoy a lot, and one could argue the "just watch the porn version instead of playing the game" for any of the VNs we play. In theory, you could just watch the sex scenes (and some of you do, but then that's just porn with more work). I think a story with just a bit of that extra immersion of making choices, could do wonders for my jerk sesh involving real porn. Imagine the level of effort of like, one of those korean dating sims, with like full acting, dialogue trees, etc. instead of just loosely connected images and gifs. I think I'd really enjoy that with the actresses of my preference.I think Love, Corruption, and Bimbos uses real porn very well. It incorporates it into a story that would be hard to tell with regular porn, but keeping the appeal. I personally prefer real(ism) and don't like crappy/unattractive renders and art. I agree that most have the same loops and lack creativity, but the twine games that break the mold are as good as anything else imo. Games like Incubus City, Power of Will, and College Daze and (now to lesser extents now that we have AI) Lost in Laminate, Bloodshift, and X-Change Life are very good as well. So while many can be disappointing, I don't think its different from any other genre (ie the sameness of many Ren Py and NTR games). So part of it comes down to preference, but I wouldn't write them all off as lazy or poorly made, since there are gems.
