Choices in DMD... You knew the end of that story before you started playing.
gameplay choices that really matter... you get to pick her swimsuit!!!
Some VN act like there's a choice. "do you want to study massage?" try saying no, see how far that gets you.
you can't even squeak by with a half way decent massage, you have to reach mastermassager to beat the level and move on.
I'm going OT here , but i'm really interested to your post and also to the previous one you wrote ...
The arguments , about the significance of Adult Game ,that is not the number of endings that doesn't make it a game or in the other side some games like DmD with apparent choices , where everybody knew which will be the end of the story are for me really interesting.
My personal point ( i'm just a gamer that begin to play close to 3 months ago , so i've a limited experience ) is that here nobody is never happy about every kind of games and always with different arguments : this game have not impact choices , this game is just a soap opera , there are only stupid twist ending , too much endings, two less endings, etc...
So now we have two big problems , first is the right definition of Adult Games but second not less important , is to try to find a right and similar way to judge the same game.
-In my opinion an adult game , must have two thing to be considered so : the adult part , so big importance to the visual part , with important part to Renders , Graphics , Animations , etc , to give to a person the excitement he is looking for ; second is gaming part , that is the enjoyable content , that could be just happiness , emotions , gaming ,sadness , everything that makes the gamer want to keep playing.
-About the second part , i can understand that to judge a opera it's not easy and everybody have different tastes , but this thread is peculiar how to also some games really famous , are viewed in a total and opposite way.
Depraved Awakening in same thread , is a game with occasional choices , in another post have exactly it's written the contrary , with choice that impact.
Dreams of Desire the same.
Acting Lesson , same thing.
Tree important games with absolutely opposite words...
I can understand that is never easy to have same judgment equal o similar from different people , but it's not possible for me to read absolutely opposite and contrast thing about same game . I'm ok if judgment is different in some shades , but not in peculiar things of the game . So it's not better to leave away the word game and to speak just about or Visual novel or Sand Box or Dating Game etc.... ?
Because actually , from what i can read here in this thread , but also in many reviews of other games , there is too much disparity to understand non the kind of judgement to give , but really it miss in many person ( and probably also in me ) the necessary knowledge in which to make at least condivisibile judgments.
I really wish that somebody could me explain better if it could be a possibility to have a right definition for Adult game and if there are some part that are absolutely fundamental in a judgment...
I'm really interesting to learn better about all these things . Sorry for so long post and if i bothered you ...
