discussion What bothers or annoys you in the game?

engrish for sure

When a game over explains, or they over use filler conversations. I will always take quality over quantity. I have seen many games that use these just to make an update, or lead along followers of the game, and some times a cash grab for them. Oh and also the no rollback. Sometimes you may accidentally skip something and miss some of the information.

I hate when the story is so weak and nothing make sense

Single choice options. I disagree, but you should know that some devs have defended it in 1 of 2 ways:

1-Single choice clicks adds engagement i.e. YOU are opening the door, pulling the trigger, punching the bad guy. It's an important moment.
2-Lack of replay. Newbies to Ren'Py put a single choice click to let the Skip Text people know that there's a sex scene coming up next.

I repeat, I disagree, but I'm trying to be fair as to why they put it in because some actually answered me on other sites.

Unnecessary choices, and unnecessary exclusive choices.

 

[Requiem7]

Unavoidable scenes such as scat, NTR, traps and futa's.

Retard MC, no rollback, pointless sandbox, monster cock (why does every game have this now, it's so boring), past tense (VNs should always use present tense), changing tense (how do people write that poorly), dream/vision sex scenes, unrealistic progression.

agreed

- Poor grammar and poor writing in general. If you can't produce quality text, get someone else to do it.
- False choices, by which I mean choices that don't actually do anything at all. A choice that sill leads to the same outcome is fine, can even be used to good effect in a story, but any choice given to the player should have at least some effect, however minor.
- Inability to say 'no' to a particular romance / sexual encounter I have no interest in. This is for games with multiple characters involved. I get that accounting for player choice in this regard is more difficult, but if I don't have that choice, I'm just going to quit the game. Branching paths have a multiplicative effect on dev time, but the resulting game will be far superior.
- Anything sexual that is non-consensual.

Schhool setting. I'm 44 years old and I don't care about the experiences of teenagers suffering from spermotoxicosis.

 

[danzerino]

An inconsistent plot line.

 

[charslet]

Slow burn with a lot of repetition. I mean I love slow burn but make it interesting. Obvious bad grammar. Unrealistic quick sex.

 

[Sarya]

I hate it so much when the MC is a complete idiot.

Agree to this, and also adding nonworking saves (start over), starting a stupid remake before the game is finished

 

[c0rkscr3w]

pointless grinds, unavoidable ntr.

 

[CarolusRex]

Ramblin on the storyline. Hates when the update info gives you something like 700 renders, 22.000 words

 

[Moxxus]

Having to find an item but you have no clue where to look and the game never tells you. Point and click games do this a lot...

 

[Pablouru2020]

I can tolerate everything in a game except for a bad story and NTR humiliating the MC. There are people who find pleasure in humiliation, I am not one of them. I also don't find pleasure in reading the stupidity of an MC created by a teenager.

 

[Demiurge299]

What bothers or annoys you in the game? For me it is dumb or idiot MC and "hand behind head" pose being used a lot.

Female MC games in general. The MC bottoming, NTR, NTR that will never actually come to pass but the threat of which is used as a means of story progression, when MCs act like a fucking pussy. Forced gay/trans/futa content, games where the previous content may not be forced, but is a large portion of the routes taking time away from the actually good love interests and leaving the game quite empty when you skip/reject it. Sexual violence, unnecessary death of love interests. Having to pick and choose love interests (i.e a true harem is impossible you have to have one OR the other, not both. Obnoxiously perverted side males even if they don't score any. Games where incest was obviously the idea from the start or have a clear set up for it (i.e landlady and roommates shit) but where the dev never makes a patch, and no one fan patches either. Too many minigames, excessive grind, forcing you to balance money or some other stat that you can only get via grinding to avoid bad ends as opposed to just picking the right options, constant time shifts between what's happening now, and what happened in the past. Really unoptimized free roam with either no map button accessible from anywhere, or that is easy to get lost in. Games being left unworked on for literal months on end with no communication from the devs at all, or suddenly being abandoned with no explanation. RPGM. Koikatsu in almost all situations. renpy games that limit save slots. being unable to use the scroll wheel to go back without using unren. games where you cant change the MCs name (especially those where its a niche or stupid name). poor english. theres probably more I could come up with if I went and replayed a few games that pissed me off, but for now this is what I could come up with off the top of my head.

 

[Evil Avenger]

Useless grinding !! For porn games and "classic" games

 

[onlark]

I don't like RPG battle systems in these VN games; they're just not fun.
