Any eroge/h-game where the sexual contents are a reward for failure or choosing the worst options is a bad game. For the entire rest of the experience I am being taught how to play and win using the mechanics at hand, but the game then wants me to throw so I can whip my dick out mid play session? It's entirely contradictory and makes the experience and gameplay worthless.
I will instead always choose to play games like this as best as I possibly can. Who cares if I miss some sex scenes, I'm not losing at a jank hentai game. :cirno_dwi:

@Iffine It's only fun when you lose organically. Throwing isn't fun, I agree

@Iffine Yes and no? I'd say that if I picked up a game that humiliates the female main character, I would like her to lose to get to the content. :thinkinghrr:

@Iffine You're right that they can totally improve the whole thing, a roguelike wouldn't be bad, although it could clash with the types of RPGs I like (open world, get fucked after getting corruption up enough types). :thinkinghrr: Some genres just don't mesh that well with actual gameplay.
But honestly, I haven't played a new eroge in so long. :kekw: I'm just too lazy now for the usual grind, and I hate story-forced events.

@Immahnoob Completely fair, I just think most of these eroge have bad game design. The failure state things is something I can understand, but at that point give me a different type of game if you want me to lose. Bust my balls with a full on rougelike or something. Give me an incentive to lose because of skill or experimentation rather than waiting out the battle intentionally so I can see 4 PNGs and hear moan.mp3 play. Alternatively just make the game gimmicky if the main female is supposed to be humiliated, give me some gameplay reason she's bad that I slowly work through and learn to adapt around.
This is all an extremely worthless train of thought though, all it reveals is I'm not really the kind of person these games are aimed at. Applying normal design logic to porn is an extremely flawed view of the world, but it's my view and I want that logical porn design. :flan_yea:

@supersid333 @Iffine I remember a very good looking 3D one with very great animations just like this, too bad it fucking sold each patch separately. :angery:

@Iffine @Immahnoob I think my favorite kind of eroge are the ones where enemies have a lewd grapple type of attack you have to manage some resource to stave off. You get a bit of the best of both worlds as it's still something that occurs as a "lose" condition of sorts but it's not something that you have to throw to enjoy.
The main problem is that a lot of the misc eroge are using the medium less as a game and more as a vessel to give context to the lewds, which means that the enjoyment of the gameplay loop is secondary.
