Guys, I am genuinely terrified of those 3D visual novel games....

I dont know what the engine is but you should know what I referring to, I'm seeing them more on more on all kinds of NSFW websites and I cant stand it! The only one that looks kinda good is Lust Epidemic but I cant demo those kind of games when it's night time because the 3D models are spooky and uncanny valley AF. Does anyone else feel this way? Is there ones that I HAVE to play?

:WaitWhat: :KEK:

Don't play them then...
As I stated, I feel that I could be missing out on something good. This is mostly for people who feel similar or have recommendations, not people telling me that I have a choice. I'm aware. Thank You

There are lots of good 3dcg games, but like this weird dev named recreation :p already said: it depends on your preferences.

I kinda understand you because for me 2d is like 3d for you, but if a good one is recommended to me i'll try it.

Ah yes. Daz3D, formerly Poser. Offers detailed and high quality models with anatomically correct features. Great for when someone wants more detail and realism than drawn art (Or maybe they can't draw.), but they can't afford to hire actors and actresses to just capture original images of the real thing. (Although now I want to see a game using real porn captured specifically for said game. Not just ripped from some site. Could be amazing.)

The worst implementations look a bit like the designer is posing corpses. The best implementations look pretty good, but still a little "off". All implementations are immediately recognizable as Daz3D and lack that original fresh feeling. For me it's a barrier that makes me a little less likely to try a game on first impression, like when RPG Maker games use default graphics or a Unity game with obvious and heavy use of purchased assets.

Honestly, yes. The renders are globally of good quality, but they lack of constancy.
Take the third screenshot by example, it lack of works on the skin for the girl on the left. The seventh and tenth screenshots give a totally different feeling than the others, something more artistic than the "realistic" feeling gave by the others. This while the twenty third tend way too much on the plastic doll side.
It really feel like the author took the time to tweak the render setting, and to morph the clothes, but didn't cared to, among other things, change the default camera and lighting that come with the different scenes he's using.
In the end, a game like WVM give a better feeling. The renders are of average quality, and everything is clearly "out of the box". But at least they always are of the same average quality.

If you want to give example of good, and constant, quality renders, it's on the side of games like City of Broken Dreamers, Depraved Awakening, Heavy Five or The DeLuca Family, that you should looks.


As for OP problem/point of view, it totally depend of the game. Daz3D can give the best, but also the worst, depending of the time spent working on the scene. Take the time too look at the screenshots, there's games that will make you less at ease than others.

Until a trained neural network IDE appeared, [...]
You should works harder on it, because it write utter bullshit totally unrelated to what it quote.

All the games I named and linked use 3D rendered CG and all use Daz Studio for them.

I'm more curious how people get turned on by them :D
I tried I fail every time lol
There are many appealing ones I won't lie, but something about "stillness" that repels me away every single time.
There are ugly ones for sure but that's really just quality we are speaking that dev's produce.
Which again is arguable in every person, since we all see different things.

Can't hate em either, since quite many people love em.
So you end up questioning yourself am I too weird or too normal?

So it's really matter of taste. Whatever floats you're boat as they say.

Oh I'm so dumb. I always thought Daz3D was the name of one the studios producing this stuff lol.
>posing corpses.
I think this hit the nail on the head! I'm getting real dead body vibes from these Realdolls yucky

A good story can make me tolerate anything. I didn't think there so many of these games... my Daz3D journey might have to be postponed for now.
