people enjoy crap games, why?

[baka]

what I mean is:

people seems to enjoy games with stupid and unrealistic stories.
they enjoy it that much that they impersonate the MC and they take it seriously and personal as that its about them.

a lot of games are all about sex. the MC is fucking around, he is a bitch magnet, since all "hot" girls want to take his cock in every hole. even mom and sister want his cock. theres no limit here.
theres no romance. and its seems people don't like that. its sex. pure. animalistic. sex.
but they want to be the MC. they enjoy that "reality"

wtf is wrong with people? they dont like emotions? romance? to really start to have feeling for a character?
because, how the fuck can you start to care for a character when she show her body, suck his cock, get her anus penetrated in a couple of scenes.
most discussion between the characters are superficial and soulless. so, its just "bodies", no soul here.

that is why I don't have problems with other males fucking around. its just sex. bodies fucking. since the story is so bad and superficial that I can't feel any emotions, neither to the MC or the girls. that is why I can enjoy "a bit", the stories when theres a competition for a girl, another dude is trying to get into her pants. why? not because I want to be cucked, but because theres some emotions, a jealousy that she can be stolen. but its not that I want her to be stolen. its not that I want. but that theres troubles. is it not what a lot of romance movies is about? competition, an emotion of loss, or betrayal. that makes is so much stronger when at the end of the movies, the MC gets the girl.

but most if not all games here are just sex. devs are scared to add competitions since people will react it as "ntr". and devs that focus on "ntr" will just make it about that, instead of a romance story where u actually get the girl, not stolen. even so, people seems to like those games and want more of that. harem? also another crap, soulless shit that makes u see girls as fucktoys instead of girl you really care about. so again: people enjoy crap games, why?

Everyone likes different types of games. It's unfair to describe them as "crap" games. Harem Hotel is all about having a harem yet it still has great characters that develop and can make the player feel for them. Perhaps people in relationships don't want the emotional baggage from a game, maybe what they want from these games is the animalistic sex! Some people want to explore kinks and power fantasies that they otherwise wouldn't experience in real life.

 

[baka]

yeah. I get that. its like watching a pornmovie. its about bodies.
if the game is about sex, and only sex, in various scenarios, I get it.
but what I dont get is that almost all games are like that.
and if they are here just for the sex, why they care so much if theres ntr or not? doesn't matter if its just sex.
it matters if the story and the player gets a connection, an emotion so that the MC is important.
but if its important, the story should also be, even so, most stories are crap. very little romance and emotions.
I mean, Im the only dude here with emotions? u dont care? its not that I change much in irl, Im the same.

For me it is because I can download them for free.

 

[Davos2]

Possible reasons for enjoying those games:
Escapism, fantastic art, enjoyable gameplay, quick fap, humor and perhaps...they want something ridiculous and stupid from time to time.

I also imagine romance would get on some people's nerves tbh, and for some kinks romance would be difficult to put in the plot to the point of impracticality or even contradictory to it [Ex- corruption, ntr, groups/gangbangs, chikan and dozens of others if given enough time to think on the subject].

"No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby. The mistake that is made always runs the other way. Because the plain people are able to speak and understand, and even, in many cases, to read and write, it is assumed that they have ideas in their heads, and an appetite for more. This assumption is a folly." - H. L. Mencken

I think there's a big difference between a story that's over the top or somewhat unrealistic vs one that's bad. Entertainment media usually involves a story that is unrealistic if the main character was a normal person. For adult entertainment in particular I think that generally means most stories are going to involve over the top scenes that most people will never experience in real life. So yeah in a game I want the option to have a threesome with my girlfriend and her sister, I want the option to go beat up the bully, I want the option to humiliate that bitchy boss who fired me, etc.

How over the top you can go before it becomes bad depends on how realistic the theme of the game seems. If it's a fantasy world involving magic, superheroes, or any other supernatural stuff then pretty much anything goes. If it's supposed to have real world rules then I think it breaks immersion if you go too far over the top, but that still leaves plenty of room for things that would be unlikely or tough to pull off in real life like threesomes.

There is also a lower bar for porn in general. People are not looking for social commentary or to probe the human condition. People want that thicc milf moaning or to see a scantly clad woman taking it.

I disagree. Or I guess it depends what you mean by going over the top. Just because your story is set in a fantasy or sci-fi universe doesn't mean you can just do "anything." I mean you can, but it won't be good. Even a story in an unrealistic setting needs to adhere to its own rules and have characters that are believable and recognizable to the reader.

 

[baka]

its not that "all games" are crap.

our fate (unfortunately abandoned) has that kind of writing and story that works.
why? because MC gives us his thought, and they are not silly, or immature, but elaborated, and human.

what I mean with romance, is not that it need to be like a korean drama, even if I enjoy those. that would take forever before we get anywhere sexually. what I mean is, that theres emotion in play. the Mc feels something, can be desire, even carnal, but can also be love and affection. but, the girl also need to show something. a response, a "realistic" response to the action the MC does. preferable, I want to know whats going on inside the mind of the girls as well. to understand if they are just brain-dead bimbos, or an actual character, a feminine character, with goals in life, with moral codes etc.

we don't need tons of that in every scene, its not about creating a romance series, but to put emotions in play. isn't this what makes us human and not animals? we make "love" to the woman we love, we are not just "fucking" her.

I mean, games that involves "dating", where the Mc is looking for a girl, but the only thing you get is fucking, what the point on the dating? just make a scene with people fucking and we are done, instead of a 3 years project that in the end sucks.

 

[Xanado]

You could really input anything in your question ie:
People enjoy crap food, why?
People enjoy crap movies, why?
etc.
Quality does not necessarily correspond with enjoyment. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm starting to think you are looking for fully developed characters with feelings, reason and consciousness in the wrong place, specifically a site used for porn/hentai games of varying quality [In both thoughtfulness in production and morality.]

Also, this may be just me being a cynic, but most people are animals, with little interest in others aside from fucking or using for some other base desire. They also have little capacity or inclination to care for others in such regard [Ex- wearing masks properly the last year.]

 

[khumak]

It actually sounds to me like the OP's real issue with most games is inadequate character development. I agree with that as well if that's what he's getting at. The games I really get into are the ones that introduce the important characters in a way that gives me an emotional connection to them so I actually care what happens to them.

It doesn't matter if they're a good guy or a bad guy. If they're an important character I should be emotionally invested in them whether positively or negatively. Unfortunately most of the story driven games on this site don't do that. The characters are bland enough that I just hold down the control key and skip to the sex scenes.

The good ones that actually make me care about the characters are the ones where I actually read all of the dialog and actually care what's going on aside from just getting to the next sex scene.

I made a similar post awhile ago about this, but I think the biggest reason for this is inadequate character introductions. The best example I can think of is the introduction of one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse in the TV show Supernatural. This is a relatively short scene but it shows you everything you need to know about the character and provokes an emotional response:


You could introduce him by having some sort of dialog with him or having another character describe him but it just wouldn't have the same sort of effect and would not give the sort of first impression that really brings a character to life.

what I mean is:

they enjoy it that much that they impersonate the MC and they take it seriously and personal as that its about them.

These are porn games and you will have a very hard time to find any porn story here that is even remotely realistic.

a lot of games are all about sex. the MC is fucking around, he is a bitch magnet, since all "hot" girls want to take his cock in every hole. even mom and sister want his cock. theres no limit here.
theres no romance. and its seems people don't like that. its sex. pure. animalistic. sex.
but they want to be the MC. they enjoy that "reality"

Most people "enjoy" what they will never have in real life. These games are fantasies nothing more.

wtf is wrong with people? they dont like emotions? romance? to really start to have feeling for a character?
because, how the fuck can you start to care for a character when she show her body, suck his cock, get her anus penetrated in a couple of scenes.
most discussion between the characters are superficial and soulless. so, its just "bodies", no soul here.

People have different tastes when it comes to literally everything and lets not forget that most people download these games for one reason only and that reason is to rub one out, so whatever floats their boat...and...lets not get started with whats wrong with people, that would take way too long to discuss.

I personally don't want to play games that are completly realistic. I can do dates in real life, don't need that in games.

 

[Davos2]

That's a solid point Khumak, also love Supernatural. Though I can't but think OP is asking about other components too, and some gist about people's interests in general ["Why don't people want romance??"] and why they seem to be operating on a basic primal interest on a porn site.

Another factor could be characterization and dialogue throughout the game...It does seem like you could throw any lead male/female in most other games and there would be little difference [We must save the town! And be very moral while doing so!]

 

[baka]

yeah, I think Khumak understood me well.
an emotional connection is the key here.

a couple of games, that I really enjoyed, at least the first or two chapters, it all went shit when, at that "break-point" when I felt, now, finally, we are getting there, I can feel it!... the DEV,.. just stopped. instead he introduce another girl. and we start over again. and after her, another girl and so on. eventually its just a mess. a bunch of girls with the usual personalities we find in "all" games, but you can read behind the words, its the same mind, his identity is showing, not the female model personality and mind, I see a dude, not the girl anymore, because he fail to lure me that the girl is actually a character with a mind. thats a skill that I think a real writer has, while (me included) that dev is amateurish and can't create such writing.

for me, the emotional connection is needed. we are not just playing a sex game, but a visual novel.

read that. its not just a "game" but a "visual novel" = plot and story is the main appeal of a visual novel.

 

[Hadley]

I really can't play these fuckfests, its just boring. I don't play these Games for the Sex-Scenes, because they suck. If I want to watch good Sex I watch real porn and not mostly badly animated 3 second Animations.

Story and Writing is by far the most important thing.

It's the main appeal for you, and for me too tbh, but that doesn't mean that everyone is looking for the same thing we do, even less gives you the right to call those games crap.

What you describe as "not crap" is everything that another player would describe as crap. Something not fitting your tastes doesn't make it crap. You're not different from the classic anti-NTR who says that NTR is a crappy way to "create tension" or the anti-incest who says that devs do incest simple because it's "easy to write".

If you feel like those crappy games have girls with personalities that you can find in any game, then consider this:
- The dev is probably a solo dev making his first porn game without writing experience prior to his game.
- Nobody needs prior experience to start making a game.
- Most devs ideas when it comes to porn games are inspired on the games/videos they like (maybe their "inspiration" is a little too much, I'll give you that).
- They want to have fun so they'll write whatever they think it's fun, not whatever you or anyone in particular likes.
- You've been here since 2016 so you've played too many games already, maybe consider taking a break?
