"Like the whole point of an adult game is that it's not just porn"
Right, but there are other elements to a game than just good writing, like, you know, interactivity, mechanics, freedom of choice, etc.
The short and the long of it is "this game looks good but I don't like the MC because he can have sex with little explanation, I wish the game was 40 hours long so every detail would get explained" because fuck leaving things to the imagination I guess, and I'm pretty sure everyone agrees that "different strokes for different people" should be the norm, because not everything should be for everyone, the dev that tries to please everyone is going to end up pleasing no one. And that's ok, he didn't enjoy, there's a ton of games out there that he can try.
Thing is, he complained a lot about "sex with no consequences" in SM and then proceeds to mention 1Room as an example of games with good writing, which strangely enough is a game about a dude (in his late mid-to-late twenties I believe) that let's a runaway girl (a high schooler mind you) live with him with little explanation, and since this is a porn game, they also fuck. And I mentioned this because this is a game I played and liked a lot but he seems to be ignoring the double standards. 1Room is a short game and while the art is more detailed and the writing is admittedly better, it is also way shorter than SM and has way less CG too. So bottom line is, let us have this, SM is a game like no other game I've played before, and I've played a lot of eroges. Sure the writing might be simplistic, but the scenario and gameplay make up for it. Not every game needs to be 60 hours long and you shouldn't need to wait 2 hours between sex scenes. This is a short game with a lot of scenes that really cuts to the chase, that's what a nukige is.
