I've asked this in some other threads of games I like:
I've got a question for players who like games in this genre: Do you play all the paths? That is, in this game you can choose to be a total cuck or more of an alpha - do you play all paths to see scene variations of each flavor? I'm just kind of wondering if games like this are actually wasting time and assets on paths that no one likes. Or put another way, should it be split into two VNs, each based on the specific path so player choose between games, not between actions? Does that make sense? I'm writing a game with four main paths through it, and I'm starting to wonder if it would be better as four separate VNs. So here is a way to put the question even more clearly - does the option to take a specific path make the game better, even if you don't explore it?

It can be argued that by making it 4 separate games you add yourself extra work (since you will be doing separately and repeatedly things/scenes which a single game can share while not gaining any extra audience -- people who are e.g. into cuck path of the combined game and pass on the dominant path, are similarly going to pass (entirely) on your separate game with dominant MC.

Then there's also the aspect of removing far-reaching choices from the player, by reducing the game to single narrative the player has no real control over. This lack of sense of choice can reduce interest in your game, relative to having it in a single package, even if an individual player chooses to experience only part of it.

Hmmm.... depends on the path and how curious I am. I'm not a cuck person and I'd rather pay for someone's full meal then share a french fry so. Those are typically off the table. But in a more general sense.... yea. But it's more so I like to check out choice differences and outcomes vs full paths. Although in this particular game. I can skip from start to finish, with no stopping, with dang near any choice combo.... but this game was a special level of curiosity for me.

But to your question. It's more about having choices with different outcomes. That your choices matter vs actually seeing each one through. Like let's say an LI is about to die or get raped. I'm personally not going to choose the bad options nor ever see the resulting paths. But the fact that it's there for me to influence. Does enhance the story. The MC didn't choose to do the right thing, I did. And from a community standpoint. It's kinda nice to speak on your playthrough/experiences. Then hear someone else speak on how theirs went/differs.

Although there are those who like more kinetic stuff so it's not a complete loss to everyone.

I play all NTR paths. I would like to see more Joey NTR/Rival path honestly. I like when he's dating Emily and wish he also continue to date Jenny.

I also liked when Chris had sex with our girlfriend behind our back and wish it continued that way instead of her telling us the next day and we just being ok with it.

I'm very interested in the Joe promised threesome. I feel like that's a going be Emily but I prefer it be Alex or Jenny

yeah im fine with normal sex sounds ( I actually like those) but fuck moans. Especially cause I play on a surround sound system and sometimes that is loud as shit when my volume isn't at a loud level.
Yeah, I can see how that could be a problem.
But I often play without sound at all, but definitely do it if it's voiced. Only for AVNs, though.

neither, its not an applicable term. use english and i can answer ur question.
Man Chill
there is an option to turn it off at the start of the game if I recall correctly so you can avoid all NTR / cheating and sharing / NTS scenes but you miss alot of content. My first playthrough was this a year or 2 ago.
Content looks good, guess I'll have to miss it anyway... thanks for the info.

I play all paths, but I usually favor a path. in Long Story Short's case, I like the sharing/NTR stuff. But then I will go back and play all the paths to see what I missed.

I don't remember the promised threesome with Joe. Is it exclusive to the Rival path or does it happen by default?
