discussion What ruins a game?

[Deleted member 43576]

It's a little nitpicky, but I don't like games that have super obtuse/grindy requirements for unlocking additional content/scenes. There's a point where the gameplay just becomes too stale and overstays its welcome, and the art/story can't carry through that.

Usually if it's the first playthrough I'll try to stick it out since I like seeing endings, but it also deters me from replaying something as well.

bad writing like when you can tell the dev didn't even bother to proof read it i hate that it makes me go soft instantly

Too many AI arts/animations, writing without sense, bad mechanics in the development of the story.

Have to agree with this one. Like... how hard is it to give your typing a 2nd look?

I hate it when there is no gallery in a novel or non-sandbox game. Makes me angry that I have to restart or load to find a scene again.

Really terrible writing.

Writing in porn serves the fantasy. If the writing takes me out of the fantasy, it's no good.

There are fetishes I don't like and story lines I'm not a fan of but if I could get a hold of myself and stop wasting time a certain tag that I have downloaded many times in the past, and probably will in the future, I would stop myself downloading anything with an 'abandoned' tag. Imagine you were downloading a real sexual experience, would you touch it if you knew it would be abandoned before the climax? no, but i still wasted a few hours on 'midlife crisis'.

Grind game that is just a loop of doing the same thing until it works, watersports and feet.

Futa, Gore, and Extreme Kinks that I cannot stomach. I'm very sensitive towards human anatomy and having it violated in different ways sometimes make me panic.

Netorare and Netorase Humiliation. I hate playing with a loser, incapable MC. I don't mind sharing as long as it's well done, but I'm tired of being the MC who provides the girls and always with the most obnoxious guys. Avoidable in most cases and bad, full of holes with boring and scarce sex scenes. The games are clearly geared towards Netorare and Netorase; the whole atmosphere, behavior, and relationship are focused on that. For example, the girlfriend sleeps sharing a bed with the antagonist, but the game says nothing happened, so what if they were sleeping naked in bed cuddling, a bed the MC never even sat in since it has to be slow burn.

Harems without a story, without relationship development. You meet a girl, have sex once, and move on to another. That's boring. What's the point of having a harem with 30 similar girls you don't even remember, with identical sex scenes? It's better to have 4 or 5 well-developed girls.

Repetitive grinding is excessive; doing the same thing is already boring, being forced to repeat the same scene 10 times is infuriating. They could at least add three random scenes or a progression at the beginning; she doesn't like it then, but she'll gradually get used to it.

HTML platform. Haven't run across one that was enjoyable yet.

No gallery. What's the point of a porn game if there isn't a gallery? If it's sandbox, then I i don't mind though.

If graphic bad but also if story bad. Hard to have both but must.

Grind in the game that leads to more grinding. Overly censored or lazy writing is also up there.
