discussion What ruins a game?

[richpalmer]

I don't think that kinks/tags "ruin" a game. Not every game (or fetish) is for every person.

Now, if a game that was previously free of a controversial fetish (NTR, for example) suddenly introduces it without warning and without a choice to avoid it, then yeah, that can ruin a game for a portion of the audience (while arguably dramatically improving it for others).

In terms of the actual mechanics of a game, I'd say that bad grammar and spelling really knock me out of playing it, even if the renders are good and the kinks are aligned with mine. Frankly, with AI proofreading (not rewriting), there is no reason for there to be bad grammar in games anymore, and definitely not bad spelling.

Any game that's too easy even in normal games but especially if you have to lose for content that and longs stretches of gameplay that don't lead you towards the what you're playing for ie. battles that have no scenes or bf

When the developer decides to make a remake.

yup, at that point just finish what you started and then if you want a new engine just build a new game alongside it or once the first is completed.

I do belive if its a great concept done poorly / made 10+ years ago, i do support a remake! Kinda like the new Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. However charging 60$ is ridiculous

I definitely agree with turn-based combat. I also don't like the anime style games. And games where you have to grind money to afford stuff. Generally grindy games but i think we all agree on that one. And games where you just see the characters standing in front of a png or jpeg or whatever of the place they are supposed to be in with no different camera angles or anything. And also female protagonists. I'm a guy so i can't really immerse myself in it if i'm playing as a girl/woman. Same reason i don't play Dumb Koala games. They look good but i need MC to have a dick to stick in something Just a nice visual linear novel with a somewhat believable story and litlle to no choices is my cup of tea

And also not taking 10 updates and 10,000 lines of dialogue before it get's to the good stuff but also without rushing it

It is AI slop that makes me lose all interest in it immediately. There are a few gems out there but like 90% of them is trash. Oh and if it's poorly written and has an awful story.

Milking the subscribers dry like a succubus with infrequent updates, cashing in big and byebye

 

[qweraswtf]

Unavoidable futa gay or netorare and a lot grind with no cheats

 

[Sansheelover]

Grind and tons of AI art,grind sucks,I mean I didn't play this game to grind

 

[Hulitan]

Excessive grinding, AI art, 3-dimensional computer-generated (3DCG), real porn. Grinding is like the worst, I'm here to play, not to train my fingers. All 3DCG looks the same to me, with weird ass realistic but also not.

 

[loveyou199999]

I absolutely cannot accept NTR content, but I can tolerate NTL.

 

[Imperz]

Too much grind, koikatsu graphics and tonns of text without sex content

 

[richpalmer]

I'm going to add another one: when a game goes on WAY too long. More content is great, but eventually the story needs to come to a close. Otherwise, the game wears out its welcome.

Of course, seeing as most porn game creators' income is dependent on giving their patrons continuing content, why end a game when it means that they will see an end to that income as well. Sure, they can start a new game, but that could result in them them losing some of their audience, then they'd need to rebuild it, and...

This is not me putting down creators, by the way. It's just that the incentive structure of making porn games is skewed towards never-ending narratives. And I want more games with endings, dammit!

 

[MisterFace]

Scat and snuff. Other than that it's pretty hard for me to give something a hard no.

Things like RPGM and bad art will give me pause, but if I'm horny and/or bored enough and it's free what do I really have to lose?

 

[Curbymop]

a lot of grinding, only for a scene, and guro.

Repetitions, ugly characters, confusing storyline
