THAT REMINDS ME. As much as I love hentai games, there's a weird thing with most of them, in that what the systems encourage you to do is different from what the purported narrative goal of the game is. I could write a whole essay on it, but basically it boils down to the fact that your character getting raped should, in theory, not be what you want because, you're losing, taking damage, having options restricted from you... Whatever is going on, it's something you would usually want to somehow prevent, which you are suddenly being rewarded for. WHICH IS REALLY WEIRD, RIGHT. Hentai games reward you for losing, sometimes more than they do for winning.

And there aren't a lot of games that do anything interesting with the other way around - Visual novels are not games, and RPGs with no combat rape generally don't have a lot of "sexual mechanics" going on. Princess Conquest and the Queen Opala games are actually what I would point to as games that deftly avoid this problem, primarily because they reward you in a more straightforward way - You are a man, and you are rewarded for defending the women in your party, essentially. The Queen Opala games, though, really take more of a visual novel approach to sex scenes, and weirdly do way more with the collectibles as far as art goes. Which kind of makes sense given how they do their art, but still.

How's a guy to get his systems driven consensual sex fix, man? D:

Ahhh my bad, the spam bots were another incidence, The Lurker wars are a fanfic by Darkfire and Momijii about the high level of lurkers on the first forum; apparently somehwere in the Blank Page section still



A good deal of the male MC games make more sense, since when you win you get your reward, and if you lose, well, do you really lose? :3 There's a couple reverse rape ones as well, but it's pretty rare... Would you consider trainer games consensual, Woodlelewd?

Which is kind of exactly what I was saying; the games I pointed out are, of course, male protagonist games. There are other examples, but what I get off to and what I condone with my game design hat on are unfortunately different things o3o;

However, there's a very surprising lack of sexually confident female protagonists in hentai games. Like, since when have you ever heard of a single woman going out to have a good time in one of these games :p I'd love to see more of that, but it's all "Oh, the woman don't want to have sex, and you have to rescue them from the rapist men who are coming after them because men are rapists by nature and women are prude by nature" UGH. Kill me. Reverse rape is, essentially, the same thing, just... Y'know, in reverse. It doesn't really fix the problem, it just shunts the gender roles.

Well I guess androgyny quest would actually fit into the "getting raped is bad" games pile. Unless you like having your male MC suck dick or be sodomized. Though now you can rape enemies back in combat... Alot of forced feminization in that game though, and I haven't seen art of a vagina once so...?

Also that wiki is incorrect as fuck and STILL DOESN'T HAVE AN ENTRY FOR THE SCURRRRRVIEST MEMBER OF ALL!!! I am heartbroken QQ

Yeah, it's kind of unfortunate - That game as an example, it's clear, again, that the actual reward is you losing, not you winning. If you've made content for it, you're rewarding it, regardless if you think the content should be considered bad or not. IT's a weird rule of games given the whole "completionist" mentality. I'm not saying I can't enjoy rape in a game - Combat rape games are some of my favorite, purely because they're doing interesting things with sexual mechanics. But there's just... So goddamn much of it, and not really a lot else outside of visual novel style games. And... Admittedly I should probably play more of those, but I've only just started to get into applying translations to stuff, and I have a hard time picking out a good VN without knowing the story, or the writing quality, etcetera. I've played a few - Funbag Fantasy was hilariously stupid in how it was written, yet surprisingly satisfying? Right up my alley sexually, and had a good English translation.

Oh you can combat rape enemies now and use their holes! Some even have after-combat rape 'scenes' (only art for the goblin ATM I believe)

A couple text based games that don't do combat rape but do allow you to abuse your enemy after you've beaten them are TiTs and Coc.

Oh yeah, CoC is what got me into the whole hentai scene in the first place, and TiTS is a worthy successor. I've tried out the first bit of TiTS a few times now, but I haven't touched it in a while because I always feel like I want to wait just a little longer so more is in the game. Same thing with LoQO Origins, tbh, for all my complaints about a lack of systems-driven sex.

Aww, I feel ya :p That's why I'm steering clear of it; I kind of want a complete experience. Still, I appreciate it exists.
