VN - Ren'Py - Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [DrPinkCake]

Since from the Season 3/Episode 9 has separated game launcher, so this is my review for Season 1-2/Episode 1-8

Plus:
Interesting stories, high quality rendering scenes, good lighting (after Episode 2), i like the humor, cool sidekick, well picked word for conversations so it's not sounds awkward or cringe, enjoyable mini-games, excellent animation scenes (especially in episode 8), and yes there is many plot twist for each episode from the good one to the totally fckup

Minus:
The file-size for (Episode 1-8/Season 1-2) is too big

Big thanks to Creator and Modder scrappy

I wish this was the standart of the VN games , i mean if you didn´t play this yet you absolutely must. The setting of the game , the story and the girls are all top-notch . The latest version of the game changes the POV for the interlude and i was not the biggest fan of that , but it still deliveres. There is nothing else to say that was not said in all other reviews of the game so just try it you wont regret it.

Have a nice DIK i mean day

It's just perfect. When you play this game you are going to love it. Sounds, Music, Story everything is perfect. There are so many endings and so many girls you can't get bored. And there is so much comedy. I really laugh at loud sometimes. I'm super excited to the new update but also I'm sad because this game is gonna end.

great game, great story with twists and turns that i cant wait to find out. solid writing and great character models. definitely one of the top games ive played. I know it might not be for everyone who just wants to fap, but for those that want a bit of fun and story and fapping, this is definitely a great game.

Last month, I played Acting Lessons that story shocked me how good it was. Therefore, I decided to play BADIK afterwards took a bit of time to get into the game at first.

However, I felt many emotions playing time like there many moments I was like "What hell is" to "Awe this is pulling my heart strings" to "Shit I feel bad".

Also, I played Chick Route and DIK Route, I don't normally like being a complete asshole in games I play but damn Being a DIK was fucking crazy compared to being a Chick.

That's one of the reasons I loved this game is that their so many hidden details and moments you can miss on your first, second and third Play though. I recommend playing this game at least 6 or 7 times or more because it's packed.

Still the #1 best adult games I ever played and nothing can really compare to this game for me so far.

I gave up after meeting Jill, which I guess amounts to a couple hours, so take this review with a grain of salt.
A lot of work clearly went into this but some artistic choices (or lack there of) are working against it.
The character design is too symmetrical and "averaged", so the characters don't breathe much life. Some hairstyles are symmetrical down to the hair strand, the facial expressions are also mostly symmetrical and the poses are a bit rigid.

The mini-games, while optional, give you advantages, so I take it you should opt in if you want a better ending, but boy do they clutter the experience. They add nothing to the story and feel just like minutes you'll never get back.

On a more personal note, the story, graphics and music centered around the "USA college" theme is not my cup of tea. I like American Pie as much as the next one but you better have very funny or interesting characters for me to get into it. And up until I left, I found no such thing.

If I played the whole game and those arguments still held true, I would probably give it 2 stars, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

I like the story of the game revolving also around brotherhood. The music is also awesome. The female characters are diverse and gorgeous each in its own way. Cannot wait for the next release and see what happens after the interlude

I find the lack of virgin cunny in this game highly disturbing everything else is top notch though. But most women in this game is degenerate whores. Sign of the times I guess sadly.

Also Jill is virgin (I believe?) but she isnt all that attractive imo unforntunately. Also not a cunny.

Phenomenal story and gripping character design and backstories. Never have I been THIS invested in an adult game.

The multitude of choices that are presented to you are constantly making you question yourself about whether or not you should do something.

This game fully deserves the #1 spot of this site.

Pros:

-Writing. More precisely the characterizations of the NPCs. It's so competent that you actually care about many of them which is highly unusual for a porn game. Definitely the strong point of this game.
-Renders. There are some games that do it better, but they are certainly on the high end side of the spectrum. Scene setup is often visually interesting, lightning is constantly good and overall texture and shader usage is competent as well.
-The amount of sex scenes and general content is high.

The so-so:
-The visual range of all featured women is rather narrow. Attractive, but few seem "special".
-The sex is rather vanilla. The height of depravity in this game seems to be anal sex and cheating on your partner.
-The animations are "ok" but always feel somewhat mechanic. Like you're watching a swinging pendulum going back and forth.
-The amount of choices (=gameplay) is decent but their impact is almost exclusivley limited to your standing with the various available women. The plot is not something the MC can meaningfully impact.

The cons:
-There are moments in the game where some plot points are forced on the MC to create drama and these can be rather jarring. E.g. there are two female characters the author clearly wants you to care about romantically. The MC is however free to reject them and go for several other characters. ...until a specific point in the first half of the game where the game suddenly is all : "No, no you care a lot about these two". Than a (not so) shocking revelation about them apparently hits the MC so hard that quite a bit of time is spent dealing with the fallout. It takes (the already somewhat limited) player agency away. That's never a good feeling.

Despite the so-so's and the (one) con it's definitly amongst the best VNs out there purely for it's writing and amount of overall content.

The best VN I've ever played. I remember my first time when I finished last episode and needed to wait for an update. I was so fucking sad. Seriously, every time there's a new update I'm the happiest man in the world. This game is really addictive. The story, jokes, music and characters, everything in this game is so good. Also I'll never ignore any warning before playing DrPinkCake's game. You know what I'm talking about if you ever played this and/or Acting Lessons.

This VN has great design, great animations, amazing characters and an even more impressive story. I have probably played through over 10 full playthroughs already, and still have more things to try. I have zero complaints about this game except that it can’t be updated with new content fast enough Season 1, Season 2, Season 3 Interlude, all amazing. The waiting for Season 3 will be tough, but I’m sure worth it!!

[Being a DIK - Season 3 (Interlude)]

I love how delicately written the plot is, every choice you make has an impact and how your character conducts himself also translates to how other characters treat him (ie the Dik and Chick scale).



Beautiful renders and scenes. Every sex scene in episode 8 especially is hot as hell even by the high standard already set by earlier episodes.



I also like how it tries to immerse you with the mini-games which do seem like a chore on replays but I loved them in first couple playthroughs. Never get tired of the mansion minigame though.



If I had to critique something then: Even though I said I love minigames, the test minigames are bit annoying to go through. English test in particular is very tedious but you have the option to skip them all so it's not a big deal.

One year for episode 9 and all we got is a complete free roam episode with searching for hidden objects! Still no real story progression on some pathes (especially for a Josy Solo Run which is already overdue for years). This episode was by far the low point of the entire game.

it's also a huge lie from the dev to say the story is already written, so nothing and no one would influence his story. well he changes everything if needed just to prove people on his discord wrong.

for example: people were laughing about the stupid mc that he never asked for surnames which led to the surprise relationship between sage and jade after he could fuck her stepmom. now in ep 9 surprisingly mc is keen to know about that and asks everyone. Or the countless hours people were talking about the meeting at the Burkes and all of the possible outcomes and what happened? NOTHING!

i bet most of his story is improvised and that's why his characters are inconsinstent in their behaviour! in general the story makes not much sense in some pt's, especially when you pick the "others" route. I'm glad that i'm not a brainless fanboy of him and can freely say that animations and renders don't mean anything to me when the story is trash and you are not willing to change it even if you know that it has more holes than a swiss cheese.

This game is really worth playing. I`ts always been ranked very highly, but since all the girls has 3xf breasts I`ve never really wanted to give it a shot.
I`ve downloaded it once before, in 2020 and just skipped through everything to see what all the fuss was about with this game.
The renders were great, but the characters all had too big tits for me.

About a week ago, I was browsing games and once again Being a DIK popped up. I wanted to give it an honest chance and started playing it.

Right out the box, I can say it`s easilly top 10 VN I`ve ever played, espesially storywise. The girls are smoking hot (but all with Pamela Anderson - Dolly Parton boobs sadly) and the renders are amongst the very best out there.

Well deserved 5star rating!

The game? Five stars. This thread? Two feels generous!!!! The arguments are repetitive, the theories asinine, and the moderators kill interesting digressions while leaving awful crap were it stands. Great game, terrible thread. Just search for N7's updates, and ignore the rest!

I have played a ton of AVN's and this one is easily among my top 3 all time favorites. The quality of animation is top notch, the storyline is unique and addicting. The characters are amazingly done, each with their own back story. I fell in love with everything about this game/AVN.

Perfect balance between freeroam and VN. Choices matter. HUGE amount of content. 6 main Love Interests + side girls. All with unique personalities and each interesting in their own way. Great renders and animations. One of if not THE BEST adult VN ever made. p.s. You'll think that you want Jill but then you'll fall for the campus criminal instead (Quinn.

Game is okay, i have got to say for such a popular game i was expecting more. Is Jill a giant? For lewd game this is the best but most lewd games suck so that's not saying much. The music is annoying. the animations get better as you progress but the writing gets worse. maybe 3* is too strict but only becuase this game is rated so highly otherwise 4*.
