What otherwise minor detail ruins a game for you?

[Deleted member 229118]

Unrealistic blackmail reasons. I won't let your son come to my school unless you let me fuck you...

This.

Also:
Stupidity:
I am allergic to stupidity.
It gives me a headache.
For example i cant play headmaster because of the horrible intro.
Nor can i play take over because of the way vera find out you are corrupting woman.
I mean the swiching drinks got to be the dumbest trick to fall for when you know you are dealing with a comptent secret agent.
Atleast i woudnt order the same drink(i dont drink coffee anyway, disgusting stuff).
Pretty much anything that voilate's common sence.

Game over choices.
Visual novels are the worst in this.
There is one right answer and the rest leads to a game over....
This is worse then no choices.
Because now you are outright lying to me that there are choices.
The choice to fail is technicly a choice.
So is me unistall your failure of a game a choice.

Find the trigger.
When done well it is a minnor anoyance that make me go:
Ugh why even add gameplay if you only allow one progression.
At worse it makes me want to drown you in liquid lead because you didnt even bother tips to find the trigger ingame.
It really pisses me off when you have to scour the map to find a trigger that only make sense in the mind of the dev.
It is worse when it is extreemly unlogical and no hints are given.
I have grown fond of manage and sandbox games because they just allow you to play without railroading you into wierd alian trigger hunting.

That isn't the worst, how about when the guy sneaks into the girl's locker room and snaps a photo of her changing or having sex with her husband/boyfriend, and that somehow works as blackmail.

makes tons of sense in countries like the US where education is gated behind a paywall.

there are people being prosecuted right now for bribing schools with hundreds of thousands of dollars to accept their kids, and facing up to 20 years max sentence and $500,000 fine for it.

I bet a lot of them would've rather gone for anal instead of being found out.

Engrish. Like I get it, you're not a native speaker but get someone that is to go through and correct shit.

1000x this.

High heels. I don't like women with high heels. It's not a real dealbreaker in fiction, but in reality TBH I really find it very disgusting, even creeps me out. Yuck.

I feel pretty much the same wearing them.

I own 1 pair of heels for functions where I have to dress up and even then it's under duress. I so very much hate heels. They are so uncomfortable.

Always makes me chuckle in porn when they keep the heels on, I don't know anyone that enjoys wearing them much less wearing them while fucking.

 

[Deleted member 1370694]

Society isn't modern enough or ready enough for woman without high heels in some business or special occasions, it seems. A shame. As a man its so much easier for me. I can almost always dress something that is at least functional and doesn't hurt my feet or something. Flat shoes always an option to men. Sadly not to women. Society not ready yet for that "culture shock" women that wear flat shoes or better phrased: for women that decide themselves what to wear and what not without those silent pressure from society how a woman should be and how not to be. Oh god forbid that would be doom of civilization for some folks at least it seems. But with the younger generations I think there is already a change in mindset.

It's not for you (the women), it's for the men who enjoy it. I'm all about making the girl feel good; I get more turned on from giving pleasure than receiving it, but I'm in the minority. Most guys don't give a shit about what a girl wants, they just want to see her get pummeled and do nasty shit, they don't care whether she actually enjoys it or not.

That's what happens when women appropriate themselves of male footwear... heals were originally worn by Egyptian butchers...

Going back to the topic... I hate it when the game makes me see people fuck that aren't involved with the MC... for example Jacob in BaR... no need to show that

 

[LoneKaiser]

I have a few from the top of my head that, more often than not, makes me drop a game.

-Women wearing high heels.

Not a massive deal breaker, but I'm not a fan of them. The less I see of them, the better.

-"I took a photo of you nude in the shower, now have sex with me"

A.k.a shitty blackmail reasons. It's one thing if you take a photo of someone cheating on their SO, but... oh no, this person was horny and masturbated and I took a photo of it so now said person must have sex with me... I feel as if that's one of the dumbest arguments I've heard.

-"I haven't had sex in so long, oh no, I saw my son's penis, now I must have sex with him".

I... can't begin to describe how much "what" this is for me. Unless it's a post-apocalyptic world with limited means of communication, you can literally just go to a bar, join a dating site or... whatever and get laid like that. But no. Haven't had sex (dead husband, divorced or w/e)... still won't get a new boyfriend/husband. Doesn't matter if it's been several years since the husband died/divorced... nope, dry spell, refuse to find new husband, better suck son's cock.

-Forced NTR.

I hate NTR with a passion. It's happened to me three times. It's not hot. It's a fucking pain. No matter how much I like the game, the instance that happens, I drop it and don't look back.

My biggest (minor) issue is probably this one:

-"I am a strong independent woman that don't need no man... oh no I have had sex once I must now service him".

I'm all for maledom/femsub, but this is one that REALLY doesn't interest me in the least. I'd much rather slowly break down her willpower over the course of multiple interactions and not have her instantly drop down and worship the ground where I walk.

 

[Cndyrvr4lf]

Stories that lack common sense or unrealistic end results. I realize that it's a porn game so the developer might need to bend the rules but when they completely break them it drives me nuts.

Grinding. Constantly doing the same thing over and over just to earn points to have it go a bit farther.

Repetitious storylines. I realize that certain ideas make money/attract fans but make something unique with your story. Make it stand out in some way.

Totally passive MC's/NPC's. Even a sub has wants and desires that they reach for.

 

[Deleted member 1866322]

Innocent girl who doesn't know men have a penis and her promiscuous best friend.

 

[Vuynjou]

1. when renders and the lighting don't match in the game
2. games where you have to grind a lot
3.poor grammar in games
4 images not found in the game
5. forced ntr

 

[Jinnai]

Dumb/naive MCs, especially female MCs. There is nothing that annoys me more than a lazily written main character, just to have an excuse to put her in silly sexual situations.

Also, convoluted progress. If a game is only playable with a walkthrough, it's inherently flawed.

 

[Tanwise]

It's nice to know there are people on this forum who have similar criticisms as I have. For me it's the cynical MC and the way the MC even in games where they are suppose to be the top dog, are, in fact, always indecisive and lack assertiveness. Or their assertiveness is only displayed as lashing out, only to then act like a frightened dog. In every game I've tried at some point the developers make it so the MC becomes their companions follower.

I.e. any time some major or even minor decision has to be made, it's always, "I best check with so-and-so to see what they think". Also when ever the MC answers a question, their answer is always tweaked to be less intelligent. Just so that the NPC can give the MC a smug lecture.

EDIT:: OOPS!! I misread the title of the thread, my post is still relevant, but my criticisms are what I would consider MAJOR annoyances. I've stopped playing a number of games and deleted them, the cringe was so bad. Two examples, A House in the Rift and Being a Dik. The female character models drew me in, but the MC's personality and attitude in both cases as with many games, put me off.

 

[LewdCatgirl]

I hate it when there's a "morality" system that covers both how lewd your character is and, for instance, how likely they are to steal some money. Those things do not seem related to me.

 

[TCMS]

crappy save systems, specially compared to ren'py where 2 clicks and you're done. I like to save a lot so forcing me to go through a bunch of menus or press a random key to access saves is a pain in the arse.
first wold problems I know.

 

[Tanwise]

I don't know what you mean by "especially female MC's" because I've tried a few female MC driven games and aside from one, they've all depicted the female MC to be very decent. Yet, I've only come across a few games that have looked interesting enough to try.

On the other side of the situation, male MC's in every game I've tried, a hundred give or take, are always in story situations that make them out to be the jestures fool, to put it lightly.

Dumb/naive MCs, especially female MCs. There is nothing that annoys me more than a lazily written main character, just to have an excuse to put her in silly sexual situations.
