Good thing that MC was there to save her. And what is the one decent thing to do if not reward him with sex? After all nothing gets a woman hot and ready to go like being nearly raped and possibly killed.
Porn Game Tropes: The good, the bad, and the fugly
- Thread starter Burt Reynolds Mustache
- Start date
I like corruption genre/trope porn (whether in hentai manga or games) where a female protagonist slowly turns into a slut. What I don't like is that some corruption genre porn use drugs to push this corruption trope. I don't know how to describe it, but it essentially feels like taking the easy way in otherwise a "meaningful" progression.
I think the "hot" part of corruption is to bring out a part of a woman that was always there in the first place, have her give in to temptation (not my cup of tea but I can see the appeal). Using drugs would ruin it all, just like any other form of violence.

I don't know if this was added already or if it counts but here it goes.
Setting up the friend(s) with one of your LIs
To be frank, I find this action kinda stupid, it's sadly because most of the MC's sidekicks are written to be attention seeking idiots that are too afraid to go after a woman for themselves without your help. I hate this as it feels like you're giving up one of the girls as a consolation prize out of pity to a character that quite frankly has not earned that right and is not on her level.

Have any examples by any chance? This sounds hilarious and adorable
What games do this? I'm admittedly a sucker for this trope and the only one I can think of is Old School Blazin'

I figured out what else I REALLY don't want to see in games period. Plus it's a good way to bump up the tread.
Holiday specials.
I borderline HATE this shit. It contributes nothing to the story apart of some fuckery. Sometimes even breaking the immersion because dev's go like "for some reason every LI wants to give BJ to MC or maybe anal idk just consume". On top of that it actively damaging the game's schedule because of 1-3 months dev would spent on this nonsense while 0 hours will be spent at actual game progression.
I don't know who started it but this trend spreaded like plague, now most of ren'py games have or will have at least one. And for some reason I never saw any pushback or approval from the audience. Players are mostly like "ah, 3 month wasted for nothing. Cool, see ya next year". I doubt it that seeing girls in santa's outfits are as common kink, otherwise it would become separate genre by this point.
And it can be even worse. I swear I saw several games where dev made cristmas special every year, and other games where devs made specials for cristmas, halloween, st. patric's ay, etc. That's insane.
IMO specials can be made, but ONLY when the main story is finished and players want some more content to spend a bit more time with characters they like. Butif your game is barely started and you're already adding unnecessary bonuses I view it only as dragging time and milking money (if game is somewhat profitable already)
Rant over.

I'm glad somebody finally voiced this problem. It's ridiculous that a game that has 4 updates in a year should waste 1 (or god forbid 2) on a rather boring and uninteresting gimmick.

From the dev I kinda get it. It's a pallet cleanser and can help you get away from the regular story if your stuck or something. Also when it fits the story it can work. (E.g. there is a clear timeline and when the characters enter the December month they celebrate Christmas for instance. Also I really want to do a carnival season. In the city I live now it's a lot of slutting (m/f) around.

Kind of hit the nail on the majority of the games.Girl moves to a big city that brings many challenges and adventures
Dad died and you´re the only men in the house now.
MC who looks like a kid lives with his Landlady
Girl works in an Office that has no HR department.
The older Sister is always a bitch in the beginning of the game.
Bad Endings in general and bad endings that throw you back to the main menu
Using the same lame-ass DAZ models that you´ve seen in games that were popular 5 years ago.
Create a game with hours of useless garbage and 1% sex and call it slow burn. But as long as it has nice renders 5* reviews are guaranteed.
Sandbox games where you have to wander around in hopes to unlock a scene.
Virgin turns in to a slut in seconds
VN´s that offers you options but gives you the same outcome
As of late, one of the tropes I have come to hate (despite or maybe because of its ubiquity) is the one-sided monogamy.

They could work if they are part of the progression. For example, if the game will have stuff happening during December, the Christmas time would be in the background and could be used to add to the story. Now, pure-holiday updates... meh

Trope: The Filler Fetish
There's always that ONE kink that contributes nothing to the core gameplay and is just there since some user who didn't read the room on the game's themes kept badgering the game maker to add it in. I think Tailsup4tyranno's Raptoid is a great example of this, with urinals where the player can piss in but it doessn't make a difference at all - it's just... THERE.

damn i straight hate any holiday special in any game, adult or not, they are just annoying..
How do you feel about difficulty?
Some games end up being so difficult it feels like no one’s bothered to test them. Do you want us seeing the content or not? It isn’t dark souls

ha totally agree..
altho it kinda depends on your mentality, are you here to game or watch porn?
these days we got more games than we have time to play,
so i tend to seperate the two
the just right amount of gameplay certainly help sell the thing,
but the dev sometime forget many of us are only here mainly to watch porn,
a little 'skip' button for this type of game would be nice
