What ruins a game?

[RottenPuddin]

Gore and torture that goes too far.
I don't mind a bit of BDSM play, but I draw the line at stuff that draws blood or causes permanent damage.

Ok then dont put a button there!!!

That would be 'sandbox' ... Most of the time hate that too...

Massively Giant boobs and Female protagonists I shy away from. However, not always a dealbreaker

 

[wierdzz]

NTR or cucking, not a bit fan of either even if your the one doing it to another character. gore, watersports/scat or hardcode BDSM in adult games turn me away from playing them, I'm vanilla as they come.

Those massive boobs are not my thing too...

Bad translation always ircks me in games and manga alike

I didn't even think of the bad translations. Those suck.

 

[Uthuriel]

NTR, sharing/swinging, sandbox, FMC

A smidge of the budget should go to proof readers for some projects. For my sanity

 

[kaijw]

repetitive grind for me, too boring

 

[encassion]

When sex scenes are implied or don't show penetration. This happens the most with anal sex scenes in VN's. I'll move on to something else if they do it in more than 1 scene.

 

[Takimura]

I may be stupid, but i play for the story, just as much as i play for the sex.

I don't mind low amount of sex scenes, don't mind bad renders (even tho, when i look for a game, i base my final decision a lot on that), but if the story isn't passable, i will just stop caring. Maybe i'll still finish it, but i won't be interested

censorship

Wow...that must suck then since most games out of Asia have to be censored for legal reasons. Even western games have to censor or have bypass methods for some content.

For me I'm not a fan of outrageous body proportions. If the breasts go down to their knees and you have to use suspension of disbelief regarding their back strength to stand up straight I'm out.

 

[Randomuserid]

Scat and guro. I dont want to be grossed out while im playing a game, unless its a horror game and thats the point.

 

[yesplznothxkk]

Grind, html & real porn in games, breaking the fourth wall too often or becoming sickeningly realistic with dark stuff.

 

[madrigal1826]

scats a given but i'll also say incomprehensible dialogue and grinds or sandbox that gets too easy to get lost in

 

[Enot1964]

Mini-games.

 

[Republican Bear]

Bad writing like a child wrote the translation, getting a rework form the beginning years later, and adding
NTR when it wasn't planned. Those are just some of the things that can ruin any game nowadays.

Oh, I definitely hate that, especially when it's been that way for the last 20+ updates. Don't make a new section of the map until it's ready, dammit.
