discussion Your thoughts on mini games in games?

I don't hate all minigames, but there are very few that I like.

Can be a nice add, but are almost always just a chore or badly designed, so if possible I just choose to skip them by default.

There are a few mini games that are fun but if a vn gives me the option to skip minigames i always skip them

 

[RiseMadi]

Never hated anything more.

Same. I can't recall any truly fun minigame. They are just varying degrees of annoying speed bumps, preventing me from getting to the good stuff!

I dont like minigames - mostly they are boring, repetitive and most of the time they break my concentration to the story.

Agree, skiping almost every time.

 

[calichris]

I usually skip unless it is doing things to the characters

They're pretty pointless. If its a management game or something sure, it can be worse than just auto skipping already-seen dialogue.

 

[Amman]

Can't think of any minigame in a vn that i've enjoyed

its got to be a really great game for me to want to do it more than a few times. if its a mini game i ahve to grind, id prefer a skip button.

 

[Ribaso]

I like it as long as it's doable, only when absurdly hard is it outrageous.

 

[inquisitorhawke96]

A waste of time

Mini game annoyng me everytime

I can do without the ones that are speedbumps. Others whose ability to complete is linked to some story progression can be ok, but in that case, skip the game and just make it a straight up puzzle. You need the key to get past the locked door, that sort of thing. No need to test my ability to click on the keyhole or something goofy like that.

They completely break the gameplay. If I encounter mini-games that are impossible to skip while playing a game or VN, I simply delete such a game, it ceases to exist for me.
I can't understand the developers' logic - do they seriously think that these very mini-games are cool and fun?

 

[hoju]

Theyre hit or miss with me. some are just tedious and breaks the pacing of the game such as the ones in Mass Effect. However, i do like the puzzle games especially if its encorporated well. the Spiderman game where you had to do the science stuff to get the upgrades are a fun and challenging for me. mini games in porn games are usually really really bad and janky.

 

[Melnik]

I dont like minigames at all. In my opinion it is just a way to say: "I am too lazy to develop real gameplay."

 

[ツSisterSexualシ]

Yes and No, if those are hot and sexy then why not, if it's another grinding shit/press F to win/weird rpg dungeons with random mobs meh, i will pass

 

[millakav]

let's be honest, usually if I'm playing an adult game I've got only one usable hand. Minigames, especially when they're pointlessly difficult or confusing, totally ruin it for me.
