discussion What is more important.. story or mindless sex ?

[luciferstar6969]

What is more important to you all ? Do you like a game because of its story and how close to reality it depicts or just anything with mindless storyless sex ?

 

[mikeross]

Some basic story at the very least is necessary I think. Otherwise it's not really a VN, is it?

 

[rocketsheep]

If just one of them is really good and the other doesn't actively get in the way, then the entire game is really good. At one end there is games like Eternum that would still be absolutely great even if they had no sex at all. At the other end there are mindless sex fests such as A Day at the Spa or in even more pure form the original Fallen Doll, which is just an astonishingly good 3D sex simulator with no story whatsoever.

Of course games that get both aspects right while being outstanding for at least one of them, are particularly great. IMO this includes Eternum (outstanding for story, great for the sex) and Stormside (outstanding for the sex, great for story).

I prefer some basic story. But also for me I prefer what I get to match the description given. When told an "epic story" just for a gallery viewer, I feel rather disappointed.

Both are extremely important, but a game with no story CAN still be good if the models, animations, etc... basically everything else is perfect. Still good for a fap or two. But an adult VN without sex? Completely and utterly useless to me. So in that sense the sex is more important than the story.

Mix of both is ideal, obviously.
But as a rule I'll forgive mindless sex with hot girls sooner than a bad story.

I think the story have a edge for a two reason
- a good story usually go with interesting characters, which mean the sex moment feel more rewarding when they do happen
- a game which is only about the sex scene is good for a quick fap, but you usually forget about it 5 minutes after, while you may want to get more out of a good story driven story

in the end, there is a saying, "came for the porn, stayed for the story"

90% mindless sex rest story

 

[Pickle1234]

Short story to tie scenes together, but mostly mindless sex :3

Not too big a fan of grinding for scenes.

I knew Eternun would have to be mentioned in a discussion like this. The story is so good my girlfriend is interested too.

A great game needs to have a story, but the story doesnt need to be great, it just needs to support the premise for the lewdness

 

[exerp]

I don’t mind a total lewd fest, but the games that I focus on these days have at least some good moments of, emotional, story telling. That needs good character development.

Does not have to be happy emotions .. altho good romantic emotions are my favorite.

Context has a lot of weight, several kinks benefit from good writing and attention to detail. it can only make the scenes and characters have more depth.

 

[Raodos455]

story, if you want sex go watch porn or 3d animations

 

[Bruk_Thorps]

I think it was Taking Advantage that made me realize I don't want a game with sex scene after sex scene. It just felt overwhelming and forced. To each their own, but I still prefer at least some basic storyline and pacing between the sex scenes.

 

[FixWill]

Without a story, I'll just explore all the possibilities and end up deleting the game. But with a story, I have an incentive to roleplay.

 

[Boberson1234]

Yea a good story is what makes the game go from meh to great!

 

[ingenkata]

Most of the time story needed. In some browser games for examples, there are no image but still turns me on

 

[DewisHoHoHo]

If no good story, the visuals need to be xtra good

 

[User_147440]

Story by far. Mindless booty time gets boring fast.
