discussion Your thoughts on mini games in games?

[TBG]

if they are used as method of Unlock so slove the puzzle and thats the mini game, then it can work. otherwise as the many other posts before, horrible, tedious, skip if possible!

Some mini game is interest to play I not like mini between the scene

Generally, any minigame must be in keeping with the game world and story; not be repetitive, tedious or too hard; should be avoidable through some means if it's repeated (e.g. lockpick spell in Skyrim), and be justifiable for the game flow.

In any sort of porn game, I have a very low tolerance for minigames. If the "minigame" is choosing which side to dodge/punch in a 30 second fight (e.g. early on in Parental Love) which doesn't block you from proceeding, just changes some dialog, then I'm OK with it. What I don't want is a game where I need to play a 5 minute game of Bejewelled Blitz to see a single still image of some hand drawn boobs (see Huniepop and so much of the shovelware on Steam).

I agree with what you say, it is not my thing and should be skipped, there are mini game games that come easily and are not complicated and others that allow you to skip.

Haven't run in to too many in the games played so far. For those that have run into, haven't been a fan. Feel they could work, but haven't come across that.

As long as skip is an option, I'm fine with it lol.

I'm into most AVN for the story, not gameplay.

I dont really mind minigames.
But I absolutely hate them when they have no point in being there, or come out of the blue.
An example is Wasteland Guardians... suddenly you are on a timer and have to hit buttons. God I hate that.
But I usually kind of overall ignore it, and dont let it detract from the game. Unless it gets grindy.

It's often quite annoying. I prefer to delete them when possible.

When they can't be skipped it's annoying as fuck. Having them should be a tag.

I actually like them as long as they’re not too tedious

 

[Gokudo]

Personal preference, I like them. It's kinda' implied in the word "game" that something requiring skill to succeed and may involve loss is going to happen. If I was not interested in a challenge for the prurient content then porn is easily accessible. <Cue the Avenue Q song "

Porn isn't interactive. A lot of us want choices, but not difficulty.

 

[NerveTrooper98]

In mainstream games - yes

In these types of games - not really

 

[Gokudo]

MattShizzle, you are aware that there is interactive porn with live performers?​

 

[potatomanproto]

For me, this depends on the kind of game. If it is intended to be an actual game that you play and also happens to have h-scenes, then sure, why not? The minigames are just part of the game.

If it's a VN, and there's a random RenPy minigame thrown in, then I dislike it. A VN is exactly that, a novel with visuals. Don't make me do some stupid bar minigame where I have to bring the drinks to the right table or whatever. I'm just going to use rollback and cheat anyway, so don't bother putting it in the game.

 

[shawty667]

Sometimes they can be fun, a lot of times they are a bit tedious lol. Just depends on the kind of mini game.

 

[Singularity8]

As long as it's relevant, quick and easy to get good extra content then the completionist in me takes over...can't miss those extra scenes/possibilities haha

 

[blonk1]

Not a fan mini games

 

[A_Man_In_Space]

I like it if mini games are all over the game, but I don't understand why devs add a random mini game mid game for no reason. One example is Monster Girl Dreams and that fucking labyrinth mini game.
