VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[tg]

I'm pretty sure the gun came out because the new version? Or the improved version of brawler wasn't finished enough for the release of ep 9.

We had no brawler action at all on the phone. And, the single fight in the story wasn't there because the mechanics of that fucking brawler game weren't ready yet...

 

[Alphaeboy]

more red flag than Bella? I don't think so.

In the beginning it is Burke who is portrayed in negative terms, 'saving' his wife might even be a worthy mission, but from the moment of the break-up onwards Jade is at her worst.


still a better story than chapter 9....

I didn't then Bella but second & if you're just on Sage route not Bella.

While I personally belong to that group and mostly agree with you on everything you have said, I think that most people do play this and other games of the genre for the arousal.

Positive adult game reviews on Steam usually go like this, "I came for the porn but stayed for the story". I think that is true for this game.

1. Question is possible to do Riona solo route?

Honestly, I watched the sex scenes first then played the rest of the story. And Pale Carnation was another game I just played for sex scenes but the story, characters & the branching choices.

The brawler mechanic should have been scrapped some time ago.

Let's face it... At this point in the game, the MC is bringing his fists to a gunfight. He's no longer dealing with some idiots like Dawe, if he's going to get involved with the criminal world somehow a shooting mechanic must be implemented in the game.

The gun came out to show that Vinnie is actually dangerous

Only pussies pull/need a gun.

I'm not saying that BaDIK should be like Summer is Gone, for example, that doesn't have sex so far. I like lewd content. Just think that DPC overdoes it. There is no need that all girls, including teachers like Bella or good girls like Jill dress like whores and are always showing her underwear, or sex in scenes where sex is not only not needed, but forced, just for the sake of showing sex. Or even unrealistic bodies like Bella's, just for showing huge breasts. I think Bella (and others) would be more attractive with more realistic bodies.

Other games need taboos, fetishes and extreme sex to generate interest, but the story and characters of this one is good enough, don't need than kind of cheap tricks. AL has a lot of flaws (IMO) including the ending, but doesn't fall in unnecessary sexual contents (If I don't remember it wrong, it has been years since I played it). I don't get why DPC overdoes the sexual contents in this one.

 

[saynotoNTR]

The gun came out to show that Vinnie is actually dangerous, if there was just a Brawler fight with him that Fuckface could win then he just appears like another Tommy. It's literally Checkov's Gun, it will be used at some point, probably to injure someone rather than kill them, the point is that there's some problems that can't be solved by being good at fighting.

I hope you're right, because I think things are escalating too fast. The MC didn't even want to be part of the DIK's, he just wanted a place to sleep... how did he end up having a gun pointed in his face?

No, I do not think that is the case. Vinny pulling out his gun is part of his characterization. He is indeed dangerous.

The overuse of sex scenes is probably a consequence of what many of DPC's patrons ask of him.

And then again, AL was made long ago, when the doc surely had many less supporters to feed on.

It started in episode 1, with those dreams with Jade and Cathy. DPC decided, for some reason, that this game would be way more sexual than AL when he was still doing AL (he said he started BaDIK before finishing AL) and patrons didn't even know that this game would exist. It's OK, but I think that this game would be better if it were a bit more realistic in sex contents, characters and plots.

 

[Mr. Muscles]

I think it's trivial to complain, for example, about Bella's size (I find it weird too) nine chapters in. As for the 'overdose' of sex scenes, sure - it can be a lot, either way, it's clear that this game has a vastly different tone from Acting Lessons. Furthermore, the college trope plays a large factor in the premise of the game, so all the lewd content is kind of to be expected. Either way, I've never once felt that the game had too much lewd stuff, tbh. In fact, I think that as the game progressed, the amount of what I consider, 'overdose of lewd content', such as the dreams in the first episodes, have been handled much better.

 

[Jumbi]

To be honest, the only real issue I can see with having much lewd content in the game is that the time DPC spends on it is time that could be invested in the story and the characters. The balance of both approaches is still OK IMO though. Although I would be lying if I said that I would not prefer having new episodes of the game released more often.

 

[felicemastronzo]

I don't have enough memory to compare the games with each other, but in the end we are talking at most about 2 sex scenes per LI, with a few rare exceptions.

Taking into account the large number of girls who have space in alternate chapters, I think it's normal that LIs have this privilege

more than an abundance of sex scenes there is an abundance of characters, perhaps too much. and this, before the big choice, made quite ridiculous sex marathons possible

NGL, "there's too much porn in a porn game" is a curious complaint to make

Well, Being a DIK is not a porn game, it's an adult game.
Those are not the same

 

[funkymonkeyjedi]

This doesn't really have much to do with how I feel about the lewd scenes, but just gona throw this out there. So far, Being a DIK really sets itself apart on many levels. For starters, the investment in the story itself is already far above what I had initially expected out of the game. But one thing that just keeps sticking out to me (pun not intended, but there it is anyways lol), is that the musical track selection is soooo damn good in this game. DPC has such a talent for picking the right music to set the mood of any scene.

I've played many other (a)VNs, some which I actually enjoyed just as much if not more (IE Chasing sunsets, leap of faith etc) for being more serious in tone and theme, but they don't come close to the soundtrack of B.A.D. I've downloaded almost every song/instrumental.

I just can't get enough of it. <3

They very much are the same. "adult" is just a less blunt word for "porn" but it'll get you the same amount of sideeyeing.

"Porn" has emphasis on lewd stuff.
"Adult" may include lewds but it's not a primary focus.

Jokes aside, I do agree to some degree that BaDIK has too much lewds in it, but DPC has to cater to the supporters now, and he is the most supported AVN creator. So, does the story and plot suffer? Sure.
Than again, I enjoy playing gazillion routes so I have no right to talk shit about DPC taking long time between updates.

I for one enjoy BaDIK a lot, but more so, I enjoy the community.
I don't consider BaDIK to be the best AVN, top 5 sure, not #1.
