People really hated the Mini games that much ? I find some of them annoying but most of them are pretty okay. Atleast, i never played a BADIK run without playing through the mini games. It doesn't cost that much time and they are pretty easy overall anyways. Only thing i really hated was that cube puzzle thing. It took me a long time to understand its mechanics and some of them are just not explain all that well making it really hard to figure out so i just search it up.
I’ll just tell you why
I hate the mini-games. Others have other reasons, obviously.
1. They’re not challenging. Even the first time, when they were new to me; there was
some challenge in first figuring them out. But, once done, they’re no challenge anymore. It would definitely be a challenge if there were, say, 100 “English tests” in the system instead of the same three every time; if there were 500 “Math problems” which randomly popped up (or were even randomly generated by the computer!) instead of the same problems every time. But nope; same tests, and once you memorize the answers, it’s “Ugh,
this again,” not “Ooh, let’s see if I can get a perfect score this time.” Brawler isn’t
even a challenge; it’s just keypresses, and I learned 10-key in high school.
2. They’re interruptions. Like commercials in the middle of a TV show. But with commercials, I can skip them; I can get up and leave the computer and go get a snack from the kitchen, go get a blanket from my bedroom, go take a whiz in the bathroom; I can
leave, then return in 2 minutes and go back to the show. I can’t skip the mini-games unless I turn them off at the very beginning. It’d be great if there were an auto-win button; they actually have those in other AVNs, like
College Kings. But here, I gotta slog through the interruption. Like Elduriel said, they’re a time sink.
3. They’re the wrong genre. If I wanted to play video games, I’d go play video games. If I wanted brain teasers, I’d buy a book of brain teasers. I wanna read an adult visual novel! With fuck scenes! Get to the
novel. Get to the
fuck scenes. I’m here to play
that game. (Or at least put a fuck scene in the mini-game, like we see in Dungeons & Gremlins.)
Anyway, that’s me. If you love them, play them!
You do you. I’ll keep skipping them; thanks.
