discussion Which game engine do you hate?

[lak]

I am curious to see what people think about the choice of a game developer for an engine. Is there an engine, that when you see it's used, no matter how good the art looks, you are reluctant or outright ignore the game because of it?
For me, its RPGM. I have played some good games made in this engine, but most of the times, it's a buggy mess, clunky or just feels that the "rpg mechanics" offer nothing but an annoyance. So, most of the time, I just ignore games made in RPGM

rarely seen any good RPGM games (except "daily lives of my countrside")

Unity is so annoying sometimes

 

[User_160778]

Sometimes unreal engine.

 

[mikeyk]

always depends on art style rather than game engine for me, occasionally enjoy the grind of an rpgm

 

[Burgouis]

I've never been able to play an Unreal Engine game. The world is constantly spinning and movement is all over the place.

I like engines that I can see the scripts and images of, so Ren'Py is the best of the best, and the others I'll sometimes try.

RPGM is overused, although it is not a bad engine.

 

[nikolai777]

The ones who can't be emulated or a difficult to emulate in Android/Joiplay

Unreal and Unity, but that's because people try to use them to create VNs when RenPy is ready next door. And never Unity/UE games have all the features that Rnpy provides. If developers didn't try to create VL on engines not designed for it, the games would be better.

rpgm, renpy is always the best

I don't hate it but there are a lot of bad games in rpgmaker

 

[rira_75]

I tnormaly just ignore all games that aren't made in Ren'py.

 

[Dnj]

dont exactly hate, but html games or games that are on engines i dont now are a little of downside for me, reason are the compatibility whith the version and no gona lie, the fact that not all the engines let you use or have a save editor(this for the games that have insane grinding)

 

[greey12]

rpgm and similars as everyone pointed
if the game has terrible performance like I see on fps wannabe games thats a big no aswell

 

[CoolCatK]

I usually avoid most non-Renpy games, but mostly the ones I don't like is HTML games. I can do the occasional RPGM, but yeah. Mostly I just do Renpy. RAGS is also a pretty rough one to try and use.

 

[DrPerks]

RPGM can be annoying, those games typically are a grind

 

[Sural Argonus]

There is one engine that if I see it, it's an automatic pass. TyranoBuilder. It's Godawful.

KiriKiri can be a pain in the ass to run on western systems, but even that's less annoying than Tyrano. I'd even rather play a crappy RPGM game or an old TADs game than Tyrano.

 

[Connoisseur739]

Not fan of RPGM games. Nothing against the engine but such games usually come with a lot of grinding.

 

[silverf1717]

i usualy ignore RPGM they are too grindy and the time between sex scenes is way too long

 

[Deleted member 183428]

Unreal Engine is not made for these games and I still haven't seen a good one

 

[bluewallaby]

There's definitely some great stuff made with it, but I feel like a lot of RPGM stuff just doesn't hit for me
