I don't have a good memory for names but to be even more controversial I can say that BaDIK has more consistent and interesting characters than the entire Netflix Witcher series.
I think you and that other guy are taking things too seriously tbh
I don't mean everything I type on this site I was having fun lol
Yes, the moment I saw Philip Fry lust over fictional character in a video game was the moment my blood started to boil and now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.
I don’t mean to discredit it per say, I mean the setting, humor, and characters are what keep me engaged. To a lesser extent the plot. It’s just that BiaDs natural emphasis on sex to the degree that the MC had god mode enabled does remove a lot of realism and detached believability imo. I mean the MC is making even the character of Hank Moody look like less of a ladykiller.
The video game logic will always discredit the quality of a story and characters. For example the difference between gameplay and the story. Here you've got a wounded soldier that has to fight for his life and in gameplay you've got an unstoppable killing machine. Because of developers designing games as power fantasies we rarely play as someone incapable of the greatest deeds.
In VNs it comes down to MC (with right choices) being able to make all possible MG to fall in love with him/her and in porn VNs to also get a lot of sex. I feel like the negative bias and prejudice against this kind of media will also be the thing that always discredits it. I once had a discussion with the guy who basically discredited all good parts of BaDIK because "it's just a porn game, it's not that deep" and I only needed to do 15 minute research to make a post that would prove otherwise.
I understand that turning all sex scenes into simple fade to black wouldn't solve the issue but I'm confident that if there is any porn VN that can stand on its story and characters alone, it's Being a Dik.
And I truly believe that and stand by it. I don't even masturbate to porn anymore and this game does nothing for me. The only reason why I'm here is because it's like TV Series to me without dry humping that pretends to be a sex act and also because of you guys because you're cool community.
That would really suck. Imagine getting angry over seeing Sage ending up with Jacob, just as an example, in a playthrough were you didn't followed her path at all. Or Jill married to Rusty in a route were you choose to go for the Throuple. I wonder if those fans are expecting that the non selected main girls won't appear in the epilogue.
I hope it will make sense in the narrative and be symblic, don't need to include nudity like weird nude MC's mom flashbacks (DPC please don't show us how Neil fucked MC's mom). I also hope it won't feature any marriage or any pregnacy just to appeal to people that get horny over that. I think (for a VN) the story is pretty good and it's about college life, it doesn't have to jump into freaking marriage and Shrek's
they lived happily ever after.
