What makes you play H-Games?

Re: What makes you play H-Games?

I play H-Games for both merits for sure. I think it's even sexier once I know what is actually going on in the game so I know the scale and the consequences of failure for the hero/heroine.

Plus I'm not entirely sure why, but there's something therapeutic about seeing a scantly clad, banana thong wearing heroine getting destroyed via her poor choice of battle wear. I mean come on, if you wear something like that to a fight you're just begging to get raped.

It's for those reasons that I prefer side-scroller ACTs over RPGs.

Re: What makes you play H-Games?

With the current condition of H, it should be like 80% H, 20% story, since most h games ended up not translated, if most h games were translated, it'd probably go up to 55% H and 45% Story
i mean look at monmusu quest, in my opinion, the story helped the game achieve success more than the H element of the game itself.

Re: What makes you play H-Games?

Compelling storylines!

Also, most RPGs are more western these days and focus more about the action and cinematic (like Skyrim, Mass Effect, etc) compared to the games of the past (like FF1-7, Lufia, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, etc).

I like turn based fighting with a decent storyline. And if there's sex involved? Awesome!

Choices to mind break and corrupt!

The only way to have corruption is in a game. Gradual mind break can only happen In a game. You can't watch a movie and see it, as it happens too quick, making the choices yourself is so much better in my opinion!

Re: What makes you play H-Games?

I personally cant play a h game if the story sucks or if i dont like the characters. If someone wants plainly sex scenes there are better options.

The thing i like the most about h games?, they can make dark worlds and do interesting stories showing reality. There are games like kamidori alchemy meister that i truly enjoyed, but simple games that just have the art... i dont want them.

Re: What makes you play H-Games?

I mostly play them due to the story type, especially if it's a NTR one or includes a pure girl becoming a total slut. Though, I guess, those are like the only ones I even try out. And there's that bit of satisfaction and enjoyment if that progress depends on my choices in the game. That feeling that you have a little bit of control over it.
I used to only read doujinshis of that theme, but they eventually got boring.

Re: What makes you play H-Games?

Well for me it started from when I was young. When I was about 9-10 I saw a hentai picture of Tifa (Final Fantasy 7) and since then I have progressively found out more about the hentai/adult side of anime,manga,3d animation and lastly games. My first h-game was one of those dating sims on newground , and my first rpgmaker game was a game from the legends of krystal forum. Whilst I do sometimes enjoy the gameplay aspect of these games I have to be honest and admit that I just enjoy adult games for the sexual entertainment they offer me. In short : 25% of the time I enjoy the plot/characters/game 75% of the time I just want to see asses,boobs and corruption.

Re: What makes you play H-Games?

I play H games for possibly the same reason everyone else does. Fap material. Although my choice of H games seem to cater to things that not only allow me to customize the characters, but of course also have a plethora of animations. For that reason, I like a few games that ILLUSION has thrown out.

H ACT games are also up in my favorites, a combo of those classic 2D action platformers combined with rape is always nice. I dislike just about any RPG Maker made H games, they just about always have no real... Animation in them. While stories are nice to have, I'm less likely to notice it if I simply got the game for fapping purposes.

Re: What makes you play H-Games?

Sorry for the upcoming wall of text!

By far my biggest criteria is how fun a game is: Gameplay is much more important to me than how "hot" the game is. I don't like visual novels or "non-games", or simple platformers and rpgs no matter how hot they are.

The main draw of h-game for me is when games are improved mechanics-wise by the h-content. Games like MaidenSnow Eve where the inclusion of the h-layer increases the things the player has to be aware of, and the consequences of a bad move. Games like Interbreed or Pregnant Braves, which ties unit creation with the h-content. Games like Malise and the Machine, which adds complexity to the battle system.

On the other hand, there's this sort of "morality wall" I have, for lack of a better. I really, really don't want to be the one causing distress or harm to the characters. This means I'll never lose on purpose, and I won't play any game where you play as the offender. That severely limits my options, but I just can't do it. I also don't like "mind-break" or anything of the kind: I'm more than happy playing as a character that loves sex (even with monsters) but I don't like a character ending up as a sexual slave, or basically any sort of "she's now a thing instead of a person".

In my opinion, the best h-games are the ones where your character(s) remains a whole person, is not exceedingly dark (I prefer happy/funny but I can deal with dark up a certain point), a game where you still get some h-scenes for doing well and progressing through the game (while not being the aggressor), and where the gameplay is actually good and fun. Even better if the h-content is incorporated in the gameplay instead of being a separate thing. Also a bonus if losing means that it's not a game over and that you have to carry on despite what happened: that's far scarier than a game over in my opinion and makes for more tension than in a regular game (Maidensnow Eve does this exceedingly well).

... so in short, there's not many h-games at all that I actually like...

That's not such a weird thing. I mean, statues, are made of stone, right?

What if i told you,

Crazy libido and imagination in me,

Can cause me to see everything personified,

Furniture-girls,
Gadget-girls,
Tool-girls,
Snack-girls,
Utensil-girls,
Electronic-girls,
Animal-girls,
Fruit-girls,

And so on,

Me fapping to them is assured,

Do not worry mate,

An order of nature it is,

Fapping to what you find hot,

Even if it was a simple pebble ignored on the street,

Spoiler

Well, technically all of us here at least once masturbated to a 'computer's screen', right?

Re: What makes you play H-Games?

Because I delight in the horrifying worlds that a lot of H-games have.

power-tripping as the ''omnipotent'' being watching/guiding the heroines(Oh you think you're so innocent and pure..just you wait).

And some have pretty good stories(though I dont understand moonspeak so all I get is the ''translated'' version).

Re: What makes you play H-Games?

Well, there's the H. Everyone has their own particular likes/dislikes for certain types of fetishes, however it is very common to find arousal and enjoyment from sexual themes in an imagined environment.

The best thing these days is that practically any kind of interest is easy to find examples of, so people can figure out what they really like, and don't like. I can enjoy scenes in games that I would never want to see in real life, that is part of the appeal.

And then there's the game. The very best games mix the two so well that I find myself just immersed in the gameplay and enjoying it immensely, then Bam, here's some well crafted H scenes to make it even better!

So, a game with good H artwork but just an ok game play system = good.
A good game with just ok H scenes = good.
On with both? = Awesome!

Re: What makes you play H-Games?

I've taken to Hentai since I first saw a hentai picture of Misty from Pokemon. Eventually I found hentai games, starting to Clixposing Kitandra or whatever it's called. I stuck to mainly flash hentai games due to it being a family owned computer. When I finally got my own I found Hongfire and ULMF and started getting into the bigger hentai games. I believe it's because I usually get more aroused to a girl that I know something about instead of just a random girl.

Oh and rape fantasy things that I'd never act on IRL, this is a harmless outlet for it.

Re: What makes you play H-Games?

Personally, I play and seek out the kind of H-games that enhance the basic H-content in a way that makes it more than just an animation with a few sounds. This can be, but doesn't necessarily mean story or what's typically thought of as gameplay.

The best kind is the kind that draws you in, and gives you some kind of immersion in whatever sex act is involved. For example, if I've been desperately fighting off foes in fighting game type gameplay, only to eventually fumble and get violated, and struggle free to fall again. The result of that scene is so much more exciting and worth so much more, than to merely look up the rudimentary pixelated animation on Gelbooru, viewing it for 5 seconds, and move on.

The story can be a bare bones non backdrop, and the gameplay can be minimal as it gets (eg, Succubus Nests), but it's the context that matters. Games like Succubus Nests are able to get away with proving no real H-content for long stretches of time initially, despite having so little in the way of direct player interaction, because the game's shines so well on it's main strong point of building up suspense for the moment your party fails and pays the price for it. Because after the defeat, it works on the themes of the characters struggling with corruption, yet still having to go out to try to continue their mission. Conversely if you took all of the admittedly very basic animations and uploaded them to the internet, I likely wouldn't give them the time of day (or night).

That's the mark of a good H-game to me. You can take a game with a fantastic story and/or fun traditional gameplay, but what matters most is incorporating the H-content INTO the game in some manner. Not letting it just be a sprinkling of smut over a Mega Man clone, but working it into the central theme of what the player is invested in. Good art and animation do wonders to boost a good game, but alone can't save an uninspired one. A well conceptualised H-game meanwhile can do wonders with very little in terms of art and tiny bit of imagination. If you can get a good story or gameplay on top of that? Then you're golden.

Re: What makes you play H-Games?

For me, it's almost the same as asking why do I prefer video games to movies? Why do I value interactive entertainment, over passive? This is something I say a lot, but for me, it's the way context feeds in to a scene. To put it succinctly, video games allow for a broad range of possible contexts and nuances. You can watch a movie or TV show or porno and the fights/battles/sex scenes/car chases/pizza delivery/boiler maintenance will play out exactly the same every time. The Americans are invading Omaha beach, the same guy gets his arm blown off and picks it up, Tom Hanks shoots at the same tank with the same 1911. An exemplification of the other extreme as it relates to adult gaming, would be all the TES/Fallout adult mods that are out there. Of course, each sex animation plays out the same each time, but the context in which it's initiated can be completely different; With a certain mod, you can start the game off as a bandit slave. Or, you can be playing the game as normal sneaking through a dungeon, but the bandits get the drop on you, fuck you and leave you in a ditch with nothing to rely on but your fists. Or using that alternate start mod, you can (probably) roleplay as a bandit and go around raping and pillaging and raping some more to your heart's content (you fucking sicko)

A great number of adult and hentai games are somewhere in between. Take for example LineMarvel or Koonsoft's games - again the scenes play out the same, but the context can still differ - Are you about to lose to this next enemy, or is it the first hit you took? Or maybe you're on a different level.

This by and large extends to a great many games. Call of Duty's single player isn't far removed from the passive experience of a movie on the grand scale of things, but you can still have a different experience to someone else at any given point. You might've walked through the enemies like a breeze, or you might instead have been getting your ass kicked. You might have gone to a certain piece of cover and got that sniper before he could shoot you instead of choosing a different path and getting shot by him.

So yes, depth of gameplay does factor in to how much I enjoy the content in an adult game - especially if there is more to do than either kill/avoid the enemies, or get fucked by them.


The flipside of the coin is that movies, comics, books - "static" media can have a lot more detail put in to each scene or event - going with the Saving Private Ryan example, you could recreate the each scene in, say, one of the ArmA games. Nobody will get their arm blown off, pick it up and walk off; nobody will shoot desperately at a panzer while propping themselves up on a bridge, nobody will get shot in the helmet and survive, take it off to look at it then get shot in the head. That's where scripting comes in, and as little a fan as I am, Call of Duty does it exceptionally well. These events that couldn't be pulled off convincingly if it were in a dynamic fashion, or would be pointless to be able to happen dynamically, can still be implemented in a linear or multi-path linear story. Like I explained though, there's still always room for things to play out differently each time.
Anyway, scripted events, scenes and actions are one thing I can't think of any examples of in adult gaming as a whole.

Re: What makes you play H-Games?

Some Games just get me exited to play them...even if they dont least long.
Other Games have interesting Systems or a nice Story/Charakter like the Rance Series. Even if the Hentai content is streched far out it doesnt matter cause the Gameplay is fun. Like Softhouse Games.
Some styles are even more fun than original Games like Satire Games.

Re: What makes you play H-Games?

Well like any form of entertainment, I consume media for self-gratification. As for why hentai specifically, I find the idea of reducing an actual person to fap material regardless of their profession, personality etc. to be against my moral code. Like, i can get aroused by live action pornography same as anyone else but hentai is basically victim and guilt free; making it a good alternative. Plus, there's the fact that even though sex is part of life, in most rpg stories it's omitted ( fairly or not ) or used as an edgy selling point, so when a porn game comes around that acknowledges this without sacrificing the integrity of it's characters or it's plot, i am a very happy man.
