Oh I'm pretty sure many female players feel the way you do.Well having tried Lustful Desires it's actually a great example! Iirc when you make it to the first town, there's a guy who's clearly very into you, yet you - as a woman - are expected to pay them to have sex with you. I mean that's just not how it works. And that same small but critically important difference in people's attitudes, expectations, wording etc is everywhere. Most of it is barely nuance, but it's so ever-present that even then it's enough. I mean, I still FAR prefer that to the blatant misogyny most other games written by guys for guys seem to deal with. x.x Then again, even tho I'm a complete sub I'm not really into degradation, so maybe it's also that idk?
I'm not blaming the games mind! Like I said, especially Lust Odyssey was just so obviously amazing for what it does! I just wandered in here on a whim after checking for new games and spotting this one, saw the comment I replied to and thought I'd ask bc it always made me curious is all.
Also lud dud had a great point! Sex scenes are just wholly different from your typical RPG's since they really play into those fetishes & gender roles and can't help but dance on and over all kinds of lines of what's ok and what isn't. Non-adult RPG's don't have to deal with any of it at all, for them it's literally as easy as just switching the pronouns and that's that.
Yee you make a lot of great points! I think you're prolly right. I guess idk, I just wondered whether other women felt like I did? And if yes, then felt it would be better for them to focus on gays to make the best possible experience for you guys! Definitely didn't mean any disrespect to the creators or the ppl playing it. And if this is more of a personal issue of mine and other women really enjoy the game, all the better!
I can really only imagine your PoV in this, and how hard it must be to find good games in mountains of straight stuff. x.x
These games are not developed with Female MC in mind.
All am saying is you either compromise, don't hang on the details you don't enjoy, or find better fits (unfortunately it's very limited).
On that note, It's not Non-adult RPGs don't have this problem.
What makes Mass Effect or Baldur's Gate 3 great, is the relationships / interactions are authentic, based on your gender.
The difference here, is they are way bigger studios that have different people working on different perspectives.
Any relationship building RPG that's just switching Pronouns are just lazy and lame games.
Also, you don't play a RPG just for the relationships, but you play a porn game for the porn, any mismatch will be so much more obvious and impactful.
I'm also curious what's the devs' thought for adding Female / FemaleMC into a gay focused game.
95% sure it's to approach bigger audience >> More exposure, More money.
It's a super common trend among porn games, and Lust Odyssey is especially Money Hungry.
I don't think it's something so shallow like "outside expectation".
But it might be indeed their own ambition: To make the game bigger.
Comment mistake of indie devs - Scope Creep. They need to realise that, there's only so much One Individual can do on their own
