The poll question brought this to mind:
What are your likes and dislikes of H-Games? Your Pet Peeves? Your Personal Pleasures?
Peeves:
Mr. Perfect. I hate the H-Games where the hero is this utterly perfect person: A great fighter, a legendary bad-ass, etc.
“Jewel Knight Crusaders” is one example of this, but that H-Game, despite other problems, at least had the grace to have a self-deprecating sense of humor about it; most H-games that go this route have the hero be too damn perfect.
Irrigation Project # 1.
It seems that some of these H-Game gals, produce enough personal lubrication to irrigate the Sahara. Some graphics artists really need to visit a Soapland and do some informative research. Sheesh!
Blood, or Turn-ons for Vampires, or Irrigation Project # 2:
The same goes for the excessive amounts of blood which can be portrayed in defloration scenes. That’s bad enough, but then you have the ex-virgins continuing to have bleeding every time they engage in sexual activity. One weird fetish.
Deja Vue all over again:
It’s bad enough encountering the same scene and language as you back-track your way looking for the right route in a game, but what’s really bad is when you have the same language and scenes repeated when the events are supposed to happening on different days, different times, etc.
Have you heard of carry-on luggage?
The insertion of items of absurd sive and quantity into various orifices. It’s one thing to have the gal have an egg shaped vibrator taped inside of her, or a butterfly vib for clitoral stimulation; it’s a totally different thing when you have a woman who has two vibrators up her ass, and she still has luggage in the other nether compartment.
Loli. Don’t like it. Not at all.
Rape. Rape is rape. Despite what I just said, there are different types of rape portrayed in H-Games. Some lead to the empowerment and/or sexual liberation of the female character, while other types lead to her degradation and/or enslavement.
Why toilets were invented:
Some sex fetishes and practices escape me. As a guy, I relate well to lesbians: They like women, I like women. I can relate.
But the Japanese obsession with bodily funtions that should be best performed in the toilet totally escapes me. Message skip is a very nice feature.
Is it human or an alien:
Unrealistic genitals. There’s two areas for this peeve: 1) not enough detail; or 2) exagerated detail.
Likes:
Realistic characters and situations.
Good stories.
Solid reasons for the guy to have so many gals after him.
Some of the best H-Games for my taste have been ones where there is a limited choice of girls, because it allows for a concentration on those characters.
Hey, the more the merrier, but at least make sure that there’s good motivations at work.
I’ve more likes and dislikes, but what are yours?
