Which could you most do without?
In other words: which game would you be most willing to settle for?
No art - A fun game with a good story
No mechanics - A kinetic novel with good visuals
No story - A fun game with good visuals

Assume none of your "deal-breaker" kinks are gonna be present and any "mandatory" kinks will be there.

I have enough of "Adult Game Stories" to last me a lifetime.
Who thought putting a Story in a Porn Game was a good idea?

No art. I can play games with a few or zero visuals, just text. But eliminating the other two would make the game boring to me.

It is a good question because technically all of them can work:

-No art: Text-based games, always existed and probably will always exist, some people really like reading.

-No mechanics: many VNs are effectively comics, they just give you a linear story with art, and plenty of people clearly love em;

-No story: The sims, skyrim/fallout with mods and many other gameplay heavy games that give the player freedom to play as they want without the need of following a specific story. People can obviously make their own sexual scenarios if you give them enough tools, you don't need everything to be story based for people to have fun;
