discussion Your thoughts on mini games in games?

[Duckpoo69420]

no minigames would be best for me

 

[micmitja]

as long as there are not story related and are completely optional i am fine with them.

I guess I'd like them more if they were any good, but almost every time I run into a game with minigames, they are pretty poorly done. I know I have run into exceptions before, but I can't really remember any specifically, which goes to show how much value I placed on that aspect of the game(s).

It's annoying if you can't skip it, I feel it's unnecessary.

 

[SirDarkbull]

minigames are an unnecessary waste of time are not fun and are usually difficult and annoying

 

[barbarella2021]

If they're done well and not a huge part of the game, I'm okay with them.

Insexual Awakening did them well (including having an opt out)

Four Element Trainer did them decently well, but there's a lot of funny banter around them so they're amusing to play at least.

I'd rather not. Most ero games are created by someone who is fairly talented at Daz/Koi/HS/Blender/whatever, and maybe a good writer, but a bad (or at least very new) programmer. As a result the minigames are very simple and simply not a good use of my time. There are a few games that have had good minis (Babe Runner or Abandoned: A Tale Of Forgotten Lives come to mind, and some RPGM games have a legitimately fun combat system like Last Sovereign or Harem Collector) but the majority are a waste of my, and more importantly the developer's, time.

if mini games are implemented well then I dont mind playing them, but most of time theyre not, and just kind of bog down the game.

i like them when they are optional - maybe provide like a gallery image or something, but don't stop you from progressing in the story

 

[ntrgamerdude]

I think I'm yet to see them be anything other than annoying, clumsily implemented, janky and pointless.

Mini-games fall under the same category as Sandbox. I like AVNs despite them, not because of them. Extra "Oh fuck this!" points if the Dev makes them skippable but then does in-game comments like: "Oh! Look at the content you missed because you disabled minigames!" (I'll admit... that's rare... but it still stuck with me)

 

[Jafooli]

Minigames jarring the story no. Minigames as a side objective for other content yes

 

[hashdalein]

Only if they are quick and fun. Too much or too repetitive can get annoying

 

[Blanchet96]

I skip every single time...

 

[Ronak]

I cannot think of any AVN where mini games didn't annoy me. The only mini game i somewhat enjoyed was Blitzball in FFX.

 

[camisuicide]

when they are easy its kind a fun. hard ones is bullshit

 

[Lenrimnellac]

There are usually boring but there are some exceptions (summertime saga for instance)

 

[maralina]

minigames are fine if they are fun, but thats rarely the case so usually games are better off without

 

[kikomascado]

If they're optional or can be skipped, I don't mind. But if they're requires and specially if they're hard and need both hands, it makes me mad.

 

[Clunk676]

There definitely not for me
