Let me try to be more concise and more clear
"Is the entire point machine sex? Why are other fetishes included?"
-Considering that nearly every scene features or revolves around it and that it is the most "substantial" fetish present, I believe its fair to call it the central focus.
"None of that is necessary for machine play... The game rather clearly caters to multiple fetishes. "
-Correct, however the author clearly chose to use the scenario to display machine sex as a central focus.
" yes, but they were complaining on this forum, not to the game maker... "
-This I will acknowledge might be my sore spot in this topic. I am tired of seeing criticism of tags like machine sex or lesbian, because those complaints are almost always lamenting the lack of male on female sex, which is absolutely abundant. I have never bothered to whine on a game that predominantly featured m on f because I understand its not in my wheel house. But I will admit I am more heated about the topic due to that perception.
"I don't get what the big deal is about not adding closeups"
-I never said I thought it was a big deal, I said it was more work for the dev, who already spent months putting effort into making the game. You think its a worthwhile feature, and neither the dev nor the audience of the game felt a need for it.
" So, every opinion ever uttered on f95zone is automatically invalid unless the poster attached a receipt with it? Why have any kind of discussion then? "
-I can't tell if you missed my point, if I explained it poorly, or if you're back-peddling because that isn't what I said. You said you disliked the game since it had machine fucking, you wished they had added specific features in order for you to enjoy it, yet you are on the page with the free download so my point was catering to you would have been pointless as you didn't buy the game to support the artist anyways. And I doubt you did buy it because if you had gotten it from a source like DLSITE, you would have seen the "Intercourse with machinery" tag. And if you did do that, then I am sorry you wasted time and money on a game you didn't like. But again, you would have had to missed the tag's on that site as well. Heck if you had popped over to their Cien page and translated it I'm pretty sure they had a QA section where they stated there would be no M on F sex and saved yourself a lot of time and hassle.
"that wasn't my point, I never suggested that machine fucking should be removed, I just suggested that the framing could be changed and content added. Would it really take away from the game if she fucked the protagonist as a sort of "thank you" at the end (make it a bad end if you really want to keep the game with machine spirit)? "
-I never said you said it needed to be removed, I don't know where you got that. I also don't think the game would be bad if it did include more traditional sex scenes, but as someone with fetishes that are rarely catered to on their own, I can't say my heart bleeds for you either.
"None taken, but you have been screaming... Oh, there's actually even a better interpretation of the original comment: "Man, she looks cute as fuck, shame she's not featured in a game to my taste. Oh well.". Yeah, they might have not expressed in a particularly nice way, but clearly the game caught their fancy enough to post a comment. "
-And see this is the thing, if that had been the original comment I wouldn't have cared. The original comment was " Ugh... sex toys. The next worst thing in porn games after tentacles. " which probably looks a lot more like your much more reasonable "interpretation" only after sever blunt force trauma to the head. And I'm 'screaming" as you put it because its like someone made spaghetti and a ton of people that got it for free said the food they made was bad because they personally don't like tomato sauce. It's selfish and I am tired of people acting like its totally cool to disrespect these fetishes just because a really high quality game didn't pander to their preferences. Finally the game garnered interest because it is high quality, but just because it looks like something you like doesn't mean you really have a say in dictating what content should be present. If this had been the same game but it just had men fucking her, I would not be justified in asking for the dev to spend extra time and effort to implement close ups so I can pretend its a machine and not a dude when the game was aimed to appeal to an entirely different audience and I got a free version that they saw no revenue from.
