discussion What ruins a game?

[Nopi]

Feces! I dont like that shit. No pun intended.

 

[RickS]

Stupid MC, I hate playing idiots. But sometimes I endure for the sweet cgi

 

[Jake the flake]

Grinding (a little bit is ok)
Not knowing what to do to progress the plot
Bad writing - both plot and dialogue
But also too much writing even if it is good - an example is Triple Ex. It's well written but the banter just goes on and on...

Ugly models.
For example, I keep hearing Light of My Life is a great game but I can't get myself to play it when the main LI's look like they have cerebral palsy.

EEWWWW, get away from me!

NTR, excessive grind, tits so massive they have their own gravitational field, cocks the size of a leg and worst of all bad grammar, when I see bad grammar i just stop playing no matter how good the game is, it just triggers the fuck out of me

 

[Steelers1701]

NTR, massive boobs, bad sandbox with lot of grinding with no clue on what to do, and bad translations. Bad animations.
Sometimes bad translations is so bad I just have to stop.

A boring grind is what ruins a game for me...

that's probably the worse because there is no tag to warn you !

 

[Cunning]

• Bad translations, usually from Russian
• Breasts the size of beach balls
• Dicks that look like they came from a horse
• Low quality renders, especially jittery/short-looped animations

Lots of OK-looking games where the dialogue is so horrible it's not playable, lots of good-looking games with comic-sized genitals, and a few old games with small renders. Non-porn games - even indie - are often Unity 3D, not questionable 3DCG RenPy with even worse animations.

Grind and idiotic writing

 

[kiander12]

adding too many new characters and not finishing older ones

 

[lookingcooljoka]

Unavoidable gay / trans content for example.

 

[SquirrelMonkey]

Horrible writing really kills it. Also, no censorship.

 

[ApocalypseSurvivor]

For me its blueballs. Looking at you "A Wife and a Mother".

 

[SquirrelMonkey]

Also, seems like most games nowadays are pretty upfront with what to expect especially once some forum comments from others comes about. So it is easy to avoid surprises.

 

[memowho]

adding sandoxmode to a game
remaking a game thats not even done

 

[kiziero]

remakes,too big time periods between updates and especially when a game get to the most anticipated scenes after a long period.Like u gotta give the people something or else they ll also dont care about your game

 

[User_39146]

Grindy games, where you have to replay the same scene and dialog over and over again.

 

[ldarker]

sandbox games that are very tedious and with repetitive scenes and the NTR

 

[Unending2164]

unavoidable ntr or scat will ruin games for me.

 

[scissorsaredull]

Too much of a grind for one

grinding is the killer
