Things you're tired of seeing in a game?

[Hannibal76]

My biggest pet peeve is seeing the same looking model in 30 games, with very little effort taken to modify them. We get it, you found Daz3D and installed it. But even with the base models you can still morph their facial features, etc. It's not hard, and spending a day or two learning it/working on your characters in the beginning will set you miles apart from all of the other asset flip games out there. I'm at the point where if I see a completely generic Daz character in a game, I skip it completely.

 

[lolart]

puzzles and actual "gameplay". nobody wants to play 20 hours of a jrpg to get off to a 5 minute scene. i'd rather play a real game that actually has fleshed out mechanics

 

[mp3774]

loading screens thjey shoudl remove them they htalways take out too long time and i end up falling asleep with my dick out

not a pretty sight if you knwo what i mean

 

[Beardyguy]

the games where the body of female character is not realistic, says that breast and butt is big, it's okay, but if it's too big, for what?

 

[Robwood]

RPGMs that have their area maps so littered that you can't move in a straight line in order to cross the screen. I should not be working the arrow keys every half second in order to get around.

I feel like a lot of the issues people have are related to tags being too general more than anything, 2 games with the same tag can have a completely different approach and "philosophy" to it and that's a good thing but it can also disappoint you, depending on your expectations.

This is why I think the tagging system is poor in its currrent implementation - the game maker (or perhaps in the reviews there should be tickboxes) should be able to select a "primary tag" or something which best indicates what the game is - because right now, without playing it you really have no idea - especially in games with a large number of characters and stories, only some of which may involve certain tags.

This situation is made no better by the weaponization of mod rules against any review that criticizes their genre, but often, it's a result from just what you said - the tagging information doesn't paint a good picture of where the majority of game content lies.

Hell, simply using a "Red, Yellow, Green" on tags would be an improvement.

Red = Rare
Yellow = Uncommon
Green = Common

Or just Red and Green with Red being Uncommon.

Or the uploader can just make two lists.

THEMES: incest, big butt, big boobs, cheating, harem
MENTIONS: lesbian, gay, futa

This is a great idea, a primary list then a sub list, with the implication the mentions are either avoidable or scarce in appearance.

Mentions could also be a safety net for developers, who are unsure if a certain tag is even addressed. I see Mentions as a dumping ground, but if they wanted to start a tertiary list for Better Safe Than Sorry then I think that would work, too. This would be especially useful for those who try to sneak a fetish in without tagging it (as with games which have women's feet constantly in the foreground but with no FEET tag in sight).

 

[Reechi]

Games where nudity or sex is not an active part of the game, only an extra you can unlock. Lack of creativity in CGs, no choices - you can only click through options in order, and if there are choices past intreactions don't have any future impact.

Games where the gameplay part is an afterthought, not any fun on it's own, and it's only there to gate sexual content. Games so simple or so broken they can't be enjoyed.

As for visuals I hate ridiculously incorrect female anatomy. Also censorship.

 

[ChurryOp]

Monotonous, bland, and unnecessarily long introductory exposition dumps at the start, especially when told from a first person narrator (the MC).

For example...


I grew up in a nice family. My dad died when I was young.

This is my mom. She is the most amazing mom. She is beautiful and kind. I hope she doesn't date some asshole.

This is my older sister. She is mean to me. But we used to be so close when younger. I hope we can be close again.

This is my younger sister. She is innocent and pure. She loves me. I sometimes help her with homework.

This is my aunt. She is very sexual. I feel like she is trying to seduce me sometimes.

This is my childhood friend. I always had a crush on her but didn't have the courage to ask her out.

These are my twin cousins. They are probably lesbians.

This is my bully. He always beats me up.

One day, a meteor came crashing down. And a china virus caused a pandemic. Everyone started turning into zombies. The government couldn't do anything. But there was a league of caped monkeys that saved the world. Unfortunately, they became deranged with power. They ruled with an iron fist. Despite being further up on the evolutionary ladder, humanity was reduced to slaves. However, all hope was not lost. My father, who I thought was dead actually was working as a top secret scientist. He came up with a virus that would fast track the evolutionary process on non-homo primates. This turned the caped monkeys into humans. However, there was a flaw in the process! Homosexual non-homo primates were immune to the virus. This meant the world was now ruled by gay monkeys. My father was captured by the gay monkeys and confined in a secret underground facility. This is where my story starts. I cannot rely on my mom to do everything for our family anymore. I need to become the mAn Of dA HoUSe! Thankfully, my father sent me an encrypted transmission containing an app that creates hypnotic waves before he was captured. I will totally use this to turn the tables on the monkeys and not use it on my family.

*Game starts*

'Oh, someone is in the bathroom...'

So, exactly how gay are these monkeys?

Asking for a friend.

 

[Omae wa shinda]

Tentacle. A lot of tentacle.

 

[VirtualMantis]

Plz no I love futa, I want more of it! But I'm really sick of: crazy giant breasts, ugly bastards!!, surprise shota characters, strong female MC just putting up with rapey stuff just cause (I like forced tbh but make up a good reason), and lots of stuff about smells. I've seen the last one a lot lately and its a real turn off for me. When you're having sex, your own disgust filter kinda switches off. So why bring it back by describing how nobody in hentai bathes for some reason??

 

[Deleted member 2657500]

1) Udders where tits should be is my number one hard pass point
2) NTR in any shape fashion or form
3) Wimpy MC's - I don't mean normal guys who may have real grounded fears, but wussies that need momma to protect them.
4) Unrealistically fast seduction of the LI's where for no reason they just fall to their knees in worship of the MC. Put up even
just a tiny bit of struggle. Make me work for it so I appreciate it.
5) The friend who serves no purpose other than to give you someone to steal their girl from.

I am sure that given all of three seconds I could come up with a dozen more but being reasonable I think that most games here are done quite well and I appreciate the effort the Devs put into their work.

Oh yeah and THIS cumdumpster of a misbegotten spawn of satan

why the HELL would you put a button for me to click that serves no purpose other than to break immersion. If I have no option why present it as an option??? This is usually followed by three or four more "options" just like it and it annoys the ever living shit out of me.

Here is an example of udders where tits should be.

. I am so tired of seeing some shade of this in female characters. The otome protagonist where we see her put on her blazer and pencil skirt, cute makeup, all put together, but from the way she acts you just know her handbag might as well be full of lego and crayons. Gullible, virginal, ignorant of sex, with little to no ability to meaningfully affect her environment. Likely to be blonde in a western production, or pretty much anywhere in Japanese porn. Basically a toy for either a bevy dommy men, or for a male protagonist's harem, in the form of a 10-14 year old child in a woman's body.

-Penis = Power, and Penis = Pleasure. Where scenes and character dynamics reflect that the author has no idea how sex works if nobody has a cock. If someone has a cock, they are the de-facto aggressive partner, and will be written with masculine standards in mind. The scene will be angled to be from the perspective of the cock-haver, always. Cocks get to cum from pleasure, while pussies only cum from being pounded and 'dominated' by cocks. This extends doubly to futa on female content, where futa often feel shoehorned in to hide the fact the author has no idea how to use his tongue. Not saying that is the case, but... most scenes of female pleasure I've seen in games are casually topped by fanfiction authors. Stems from the irl homophobe idea that lesbian sex isn't 'real' because there's no man, so it doesn't count, and generally that pleasuring a woman is degrading. Not saying people here are actively pushing that idea, more that it lingers in tropes like a bad smell.

-Speaking of the above... cocks being this astounding magic pleasure rod that instantly hypnotizes women, doubly so if it's impractically huge. Size queens exist, sure. I'm partial to a good dicking myself. But... dude, there's no way your cock is going to compare to a hitachi magic wand, and if you're hitting the cervix, most people are going to tell you to fuck off and never come back. I know there's technical reasons for the huge schlongs, but even so, just seeing a cock isn't that attractive to most women, otherwise dick pics would work, so don't stop being horny, just... write horny better please? If you're a dev reading this and struggling for inspiration on how to write women being obscenely horny, go over to ArchiveOfOurOwn.org, and type 'Emma Swan/Regina Mills sort kudos' into the search bar.

-There's another one - worlds where nobody's heard of toys, and everyone pretends that they don't vibrate and do all kinds of amazing things men's cocks can't do without help, for the sake of sparing egos, I feel. I know the idea is probably emasculating to some people, but if you wouldn't be satisfied with just using a pocket pussy, clearly there's some element of sex fantasies you want from a game that isn't just the idea of a warm hole. A hitachi can't hold me, or hold itself, for that matter. Or play with its own vibe settings, etc. Toys are tools, so let's stop propagating the idea that women need to jump someone in order to ever get off. It is absurd, and at this point, I think it's actually hampering our ability to write believable sexual attraction

1. Vanilla games, games that simulate real life very closely to the point of: Why should it be a game when it's the same with real life?
2. The new trend of femboys/sissy boys/weak/the different concept of futanari in the western world, which should be labelled shemales instead of futanari - an equivalent of the simps/weak MC in many Japanese manga. Western ppl indeed love dicks and cocks whether you're males or not.
3. The lazy writings or too long-winded writings to build up characters, generic pictures/representation
4. "Morally" correct - similar to "politically" correct games to cater everyone which will become bloated
5. Games that cater everyone (it's better not to be a porn game).
Oh yeah, the never-ending blowjobs and mindless sex without any mind games or scenario that build up to the sex. (with the exception of monster sex, that is because monsters are mostly mindless in the lore.)

Agree with the sentiment above, there are prevalent scenes in these:
- Many, I repeat, many many blowjobs in games targeted to straight males
- Handjobs in games targeted to straight males
- Footjobs in games targeted to straight males
- Shemale/futanari that has gigantic cocks and balls in games targeted to straight males
- (insert any) jobs that related to CBT, cocks and dicks in games in games targeted to straight males
And these all featured in games targeted at straight males? What a messy priority. They should be labelled to and exported to other demographics. Problem is, they are virtually everywhere. Instead of focusing on the females, they decided to be dicks and cocks and creates bogus females and attach all the females with dicks, cocks, and gay males .....

The much less prevalent:
- Cunnilingus (I read some ppl consider this boring)
- Cuntjobs (this is ultra rare) that is IN NORMAL size
- Footjobs targeted at cunt/real females NOT futanari/shemales/crossdressers (femboys)
- (insert any) jobs that related to cunts, wombs, fallopian tube, ovary, female urethras (bladder, ureter, and kidneys) that are almost non-existent
- Cuntbusting, clitbusting, prolapse busting, etc.
There are some games like this, but the MC is either PC/BSes and usually is simps/weak and too meek to even touch females' vagina.

YES! I was fine with it was Alstfos memes, but not its just outta hand AF. Just making your male a sissy uwu boy doesnt make them unquie, you are following a half-baked trend, as the whole femboy thing its self is literally just. "Im a guy but I like to dress girly and act girly." Thats not a character.
