I see people talking about the bestiality content, but isn't there a choice to not see it. The choice that has (Unleash the beast) gives a clear scope into what will happen if you end up picking that choice. The other choice, ends it after Sterling is done fucking her. Yes, she may let out what she did if you go into that choice but as you find out in that choice she has never been mounted by the dog. Also she was in two scenes prior to this, Catherine's birthday and then when she came back after a while to just get dicked down the first time. She is a toss away character that even after Chapter 11 if she never shows up, no one cares.
Yes, you can avoid her getting fucked by the dog. My issue is that she has already sucked dog dick before that. The choice isn't the issue but her already established history of partaking in it. Again, the choice is fine and I'm ok with it, but that choice doesn't change the fact that she already has a previous sexual history with her dog. That is where my issue lies with the whole thing. I agree she is an unimportant side character but that's why I'm confused why we can't choose to avoid her all together. It's a niche kink that turns me off completely and I have no desire to see her again. If we could avoid her or if she was established as never actually blowing the dog previously, then I would have less issues with her. The dog dildo is still kind of weird tho.

Because it's really not necessary and your suggestion is more complicated that it sounds.
Even some of the tags that have light content is just because it hasn't been fully implimented and is planned later on. Most of what you suggested can be solved simply by using the search function. The real issue is that people seem to be incapable of actually using it. And no it's nothing like politics because this is entertainment and not something that effects your personal lives the majority of the time.


It's like you saw a movie you disliked. Yeah it was bad and you disliked it so you choose to never watch it again and go do something else.
If you want to find out whether content is heavy or light use the search function ask people in the threads, look at reviews. This stuff takes at best a couple of mins, but you people just choose to instantly download instead of doing the bare minimum of research before getting into something. The site could use more tags I agree but having some sort of tag for light or heavy content is pretty useless when that information is usually on the front page.


You people need to do more research before you commit to something. And stop getting mad when people point it out. This is not like who you vote for this is like choosing what movie you want to watch on movie night. If you don't know what that movie on Netflix is about you can use google or watch the trailer.
Interesting point about planned content. I'm genuinely curious how many long-time players of Power Vacuum have been turned off with the gradual addition of more niche content.

Pr0GamerJohnny's point about politics may not have come across, but your all-or-nothing stance sounds exactly like politics (in the US).

Movies are a good example of a tiered approach though. Compare two hypothetical movies rated "PG-13" & "R" (again, in the US). Both films may include violence and profanity, but you can expect these elements will differ in frequency/intensity based on the ratings.

Reviews are also inherently subjective, so the idea of a content rating system for porn games has some merit. Perhaps qualifiers like "brief/occasional" vs "extreme/frequent" could work?

It's litearlly nothing about politics because because unlike politics you can pick up and leave. You cant just move without uprooting your entire livelyhood as well as needing money to do so. Not liking a game on this site is at worst a wasted couple of hours. Which end with you deleting the game and then forgetting it even exists. This is exactly like picking a movie to watch or a book to read. You can find plenty of information before hand so you know whether or not it's going to be a waste of your time and that all it ends up being. A way to waste time.


As for Reviews they aren't just about how good a game is but what it's like. If the majority of the reviews are people complaining about grinding then it's likely to be a very grindy heavy game. Of course you can also typically find that out by using the search bar which is something more people need to do. This reminds me of back when I was a waiter in high school and people would just pick something based on the title or picture and refuse to read what was actually in the food. Sorry you don't like onions but next time read the menu.


Comparing it to politics is just stupid to me. The consequences for not liking a game as well as the alternitives and actions you can do to avoid it are all far less drastic than anything political. It's a dumb comparsion. If you don't like the genre of book you picked up you should have read the back of the cover.

Here's the problem right here, you're taking his comparison literally. Consider re-reading it...

This lazy rhetoric almost sounds like politics to say "you picked a game that had a tag you disliked then complained", a la "you dont like the way this country/business/group runs, you can just get out!" ignoring the context of those decisions.
This is not written literally. "Almost sounds like" is a giveaway. The real-world gravity of porn vs politics is not being discussed. The actual basis of comparison was totally valid: my-way-or-the-highway thinking. That's literally all he was getting at, I don't know why you're reading deeper into it.

Maybe some people dislike heavy onions, but don't mind light onions?

Again, no one is trying to conflate porn games and politics.

It is a very very very dumb comparsion for something that is litearlly the equvilent of scrolling through netflix for something to watch. Read the description, google it, do something it's not diffcult nor does it take a lot of time and it's purely laziness stopping people from finding out. And no some people were allergic to onions then choose something with onions in it because they were to stupid to be bothered to read. I'm sorry but I stand by my original opinion. If you choose to play a game with tags you don't like then discover you arent enjoying the game because of those tags you are an idiot.


Like I mentioned earlier you don't like ntr but you are ok if the ntr is optional? You can find that out by using the search function before you choose to download the game. It's the same with incest or any other tag. Use the search bar.

I mean you do realize PV is a comedic game with a very seriously fucked up sense of humor, right? I understand if the dog thing is upsetting to you, but maybe it's a sign that it's just not for you and you might want to not continue playing this game, 'cause listen, I'm not sure what the dev's plans are, but I'm fairly confident things are gonna get even more fucked up in future updates, considering the escalation the game's had since the begining.

I know it's something that might upset some people, trust me, it's NOT my kink either, AT ALL... but I wouldn't want it to be removed from the game, because THAT is what the game is about... and it fits perfectly with the rest of the insane bat-shit stuff that happens in it. It is what it is, and either you can hang with it or you can't...

The dad... Sterling, through time travel ala Futurama.
Oh, I wish, Time Travel (a confusing double-edged sword it may be) would VASTLY expand the kind of fun that could be had but sadly for all the utter nonsense parts of this game (our MC's change being one), it's still one grounded in reality.

But hey if any of you enterprising mad lads want to pull a Sumatra 3D & make your own time travel spin-off I'd play it.

I'd prefer that (not a fan of Cathrine) & it MIGHT explain why she was acting extra intense even for her with that whole thing at the hotel. As we know Brenna has major trust & abatement issues so the possibility of her being a single mother (at what 19/20? I'm not sure how old she is off the top of my head beyond College age) & by her brother no less (the source of those issues) may drive her to do drastic things to maintain some kind of stability in her life as to not go through what her mother went through.

Or I could be reading WAY too much into it & am talking out of my ass.

Yeah Brenna has got to be the first one pregnant from sterling or hunter.

I wouldn't be surprised if Cath was pregnant, I remember there being a big deal about her not banging until she went on BC that was just kind of... dropped.

Well, she went on BC, so that's why it's not longer relevant. But to be honest, the moment I heard that deal, the first thing that came to mind was "it's Catherin, you better check if she's really on BC". Also, I don't think she knows that birth control isn't effective from the moment you take it. You need to give it some time so your body can adjust. I wouldn't be surprised if she just popped her first pill in when she told Sterling she was on BC.
