discussion Your thoughts on mini games in games?

Personally, I don't like these mini-games.
I'd much rather play a romance game that just sweeps me away.

If they're enjoyable and not tedious, I like them.

Great if they're well made, they just often arent

If it's grindy / super repetitive (like NTRholic) then it gets annoying... occasionally? Don't mind so much

Is it fun or is it a chore? With a porn game, grinding is like hunting. You're earning something, making progress. If it's done well. If it's done poorly, you're trying to get somewhere and walls keep popping up in front of you.

I have a very bad attitude. If these mini-games can't be skipped, then I'm highly likely to blacklist such a project and try to forget about it forever. Mini-games, as a rule, only distract from the main plot of the game, turning into a little pleasant forcing, nothing more.

I lean more toward your opinion if I'm there for a plot. Maybe a one-time minigame that's thematic and fits the vibe. I know I've mentioned Eternum a lot, but there's a couple places where it goes from VN to a point/click treasure hunt. Now it FELT like a minigame within the game, but a good one. I'm much more minigame tolerant if the game is more sandbox.

I love them! They're like a quick wholesome break from the porn!

 

[secondblue]

I really like them when they're well made

Not a big fan, usually a waste of time.
Maybe if it had some "content", i maybe give it a shot, maybe.

If they're in the game and they're not ass I don't mind them. If they start to drag on, aren't fun, are convoluted, or something else it just gets on my nerves

You can play maniac mansion 1 within maniac mansion 2. Is that even considered a mini game?
