Just to put this out there, many psychologists state than an inability to empathize with a character in a story, be it from a novel, movie or whatnot is a sign of underlying psychosis. Just wanted to add this, since many like to state "it's just a game bro" or "it's just a joke bro" when that's not necessarily a positive sign of re-enforcement.

Now if people say "I don't care who fucks who, just give the sex" that would probably be a more accurate stance from many, but I'd feel sad for those who completely miss the few games that do have a good story to them. But all that is neither here nor there.

Oh, and a hint for you.. You don't have to "self insert" as if you're the character to think 'man that situation sucks for them' which is actually feeling empathy. This is more like what the person you responded to was alluding to I'd assume.
Wow. That is quite the statement. So, you are suggesting that those who do not self-insert have a dissociative disorder? If someone doesn’t empathize with a character in a story that you empathize with - that simply means you are psychologically healthy and the other person is not? Gee, that sounds….like a psychological disorder.

Why do you want to get it ? Either it's for you or it ain't ... like any kink. Especially when people not interested kinda make blanket assumption on their own. Speaking for myself, believe it or not, in Adult games I've never once really identified with my character, even in games with bazillion of choices. One of the reasons is that choices in AVN are usually always limited anyway in scope and consequences.. we've all played games with path that would feel completely different yet with scenes ending at the same point. A perfect example is here in Rebellion when asked to kill Spartacus or not . But i digress ...

Like i said i don't identify with my AVN characters, i'm not them... Even the custom name i pick for them isn't mine, just stuff that sounds right for me. I'm just having fun watching their adult adventures even when based on my choices. So no "I'm not watching another guy laying his pipe into my women", which I'd never be into IRL ...nor would i be the kind of POS going around "stealing" other people's wives for fun. I'm just watching an interactive porno , that's it. it's probably another reason with i also enjoy games with females protagonists, while not everyone does.
Quite right. To each his own, but I too do not self-insert in these games. I do not use my real name, but the name of a fictious character - it is always the same name. I look on it as a third-party voyeur. Now, there are times when the rare story can tug at my emotions, but mostly I maintain an aloof demeanor. What is occurring is happening to someone else. Not me. That gives license to explore different choices. I definitely know what I would choose if I was that actual character - but where is the fun in that? These games are for escapism and scratching that itch one would never do in real life (mostly.) It is not indicative of a "psychological disorder" as one poster claims. That is bull shit and assumes fantasy is some form of psychosis. I personally do not understand placing my actual self in these games and making choices accordingly. How boring, but whatever floats your boat. What is maddening is the misunderstanding of true Netorare vs. cuck (which the poster you were responding to simply does not understand), but that is a windmill I shall not joust at the moment.

Yeah, anal is personally a turnoff for me, and I don't see the appeal of it at all, but I'm not going around calling anal lovers shiteaters that love dipping their dicks in poo and catch UTIs (considering there is never any anal prep in porn).

Meanwhile NTR lovers are very often called RL cucks and other degrading terms just because it's their kink in porn...

It's also some real lack of empathy lol, if someone genuinely can't cogitate that the reason someone likes NTR is the same reason why they like their own kinks. It's really not rocket science. Lots of people try to come up with some BS reasoning for why their kink is superior or is objectively more appealing over another, but that's just pathetic cope.

I already liked Spartacus as a historical figure, but after watching the Spartacus series, I liked him even more. The series was one of the best I've ever seen and with one of the most exciting endings I've ever seen. In this game, in some parts, I'm always looking for some reference to a situation that is the same as in the series. I even found it funny to change the gender of the characters in the game. If you haven't seen this series yet, I recommend it because it's so good.

when she, a driven archeologist, is abandoned by the MC to do a ritual to go into the past that unfortunately requires a dudes involvement, and the MC refused to help her. She has to go, that is the whole point of the plot. Besides, the MC's wife model is nice to look at, and watching her in sexy situations is fun.

Its all just on screen fantasy played out for your visual enjoyment. Just enjoy the show.
Would you spoiler a bit more for me? I'd like to know if the wife's sexy fun is casual, or if it's a lasting affair with one person, or even tied to her leaving the MC. I self-insert a bit too much to enjoy defeat or humiliation of the MC, but a casual one-time-stand that doesn't cause them to break up is hot and would be a path I'd be interested in. Not everything has to cater to the MC's whims. Thanks!

haven't played all paths, but so far no breakups , you either support her casually playing the field or refuses it. At least so far. It's just that the initial choice involving here makes you either help her with the ritual, or she will find someone else just for that.
