I'd agree but with one caveat, for me personally I'm fine with the "I'm watching and wanking" IF it's by choice and framed as a confident mc being like "hell yeah I want you to put on a hot show", not the timid "sits in a corner because that's all he's allowed to do", of which Couples Duet feels very much like the latter.I guess I have some weird bent....
A game like Couple's Duet (and so many others) start off with painting a picture of an MC (male protagonist in tags) as a loser with all the usual traits (can't satisfy, small cock, meek character, simp etc) wanting me to somehow identify with his issues in dealing with a frustrated, hot, desirable partner (FMC) who he, for some reason, decides, or agrees, is better off fucking other guys. I am immediately faced with a choice of coping with, or totally ignoring his dilemna, as I am not playing to lose my enjoyment in the process, I am playing to gain something, hopefully.
In this situation, I would much rather just play that game as the FMC, just like I would an FMC-only game, where the male partner is just an NPC who has no input and is largely ignored within her sexual explorations and adventures.
I made it about 10 minutes into Duet before deleting that shit in abject horror at the poor MC character I was supposed to make choices for. As I remember the graphics were great, enticing even, but just nope, not for me.
No thanks.
I cannot enjoy a game where the MC and FMC are not actual partners in some way in their adventures, even if it is just her getting fucked in the story. And I wanna get equal shares in the booty too. I want an MC to be equal to the FMC, at least, in making those choices about what happens. Not just "shall I watch and wank" or "will I just let her decide and accept the outcome". Or "let's have an open show" and she fucks 20 guys without me around at all, while I have to literally cheat to get maybe two headjobs with some random ugly bitches.
That is not sharing. Its not even enjoyable. I'd rather line up ten straight-out "girl goes from virgin-to-turbo-slut-in-ten-days" stories, than one of these "shit-for-brains-loser-MC" games.
Sorry. Rant over.
Same action, but vastly different motivations and tonality, the difference between happily loaning a friend some tools and having your house broken into and them stolen (but eventually returned).
