Archived Big Brother: Does this game grind your gears? (poll)

[fulcrum]

For story telling I cant just pretend max is 13. Plus the minor angle doesnt make any sense with the legal porn job stuff.

That one came way later after the dev said good bye to the original idea. Additionaly, look at what games have had the most success before the "big change" on patreon - incest is a very well liked story, this extends to porn videos but its far less explored for the legal reasons you cite. Plus, the iceberg of porn production runs deep. I doubt I have to remind you how deep.

If thats the case you shouldnt specifically state the characters age. And just write somewhere characters ages are left up to interpretation, or not. Its reasonable that you would be a afraid of a witch hunt though, because in USA at least you can get charged for cartoons or video games when no children were harmed in the making of a fiction.

 

[fulcrum]

they state the age of characters as to not leave anything open to negative interpretation.

If being a beta cuck in real life wasn't enough you can now play as a beta cuck in a game too! 10/10

It still fucks my mind how popular this game got. It's totally mediocre, and other than the decent renders nothing about it really stands out from other games. Yet it managed to hit $20,000/mo within three months of existence.

Its a reality check. A large enough portion of the audience in this genre are serious creeps who get off from playing a beta cuck.

 

[Bladerik]

Yeah, I give up after playing it for like 25hours+. The grind is so fucking boring and quests being bugged or weeks apart from each other don't help. I regret wasting my few free days, damn. Only thing that kept me going was trying to get rid of fucking Eric and story progression but enough is enough.
EDIT: CUCK GRIND SIMULATOR

 

[katmandomo]

This is a game where I don't feel bad at all for employing cheats (free money, improving the mood of the girls). There are way way too many 5% chance of story-progressing event triggers already. No need to add the money or relationship grind on top of that.

 

[GG891]

Wasted a few hours here and there over the weekend trying to figure out how progress this sh*t game forward and had to rely on whatever guides there were on this forum, which barely helped since whatever events needed to occur took 4evr to occur or just did not happen. I would not even consider playing this game had there been no mods.

As for the OP:

- Not being able to save during the dialogue
- Accidentally loading a previous save since the menu defaults loading than rather saving
- No real quest guide
- Not able to delete Saves
- As stated by others it is very slow with little payoff
- Too Repetitive
- Again as others have stated too much screen time of male characters' junk (srsly dont care for that shit, I just like tits)
- Also Dont care for NTR

Overall, I do not see how anyone would pay 4 this or continually play it, I just dont see the appeal. It doesnt even have very basic elements youd xpect with this sort of game.Anyone have a better recommendation than this retarded abomination?

for your time...

 

[mandibel]

this game grinds not my gears allone but my teeth too an i nerver ever was so in Rage with only one pic of erik but then came his role in the game an i was inches away from throwing my pc out of the window because this piece of Sh#t (and my own history with my familie and events that happen in IRL but that dosent belong here) :biggrin:

 

[DonDimonGames]

Yes. Sometimes this game annoyed me. But I was all the same waiting for new updates every month. The reason is Ann. Really beautiful model. It is a pity that she had so little sex. She deserves more sex scenes and more partners.

 

[somebody28]

I have a number of issues with this game.

1. Eric moves too quickly. I enjoy the idea of having an adversary, but I don't enjoy being a cuck. He should really move slower, so that you can get rid of him (before he gets any of your sisters) more easily without cheats.

2. Some of the quests don't line up. Here I'll be fucking Alice in her room on live cam, but when I massage her and she sees my boner, she tells me not to get ahead of myself. ???

3. Routes are still unfinished: notably, there's no good way to fuck Kira consistently, you can't walk in on Alice in the shower, and Olivia/her mom/Vicky are dead ends.

Overall though, the game doesn't really grind my gears. Many other people say that the grind sucks, and that it gets really repetitive. You're not wrong. However, it doesn't bother me, personally. I've played a lot of eastern MMOs; while yes, this gets boring, it's nothing like having to do the same 3 hours of daily quests over and over and over. For months.

This is a porn game, so character models are disproportionately important. And, especially when compared to almost all of the competition, the BB character models are hot af.

Dialog trees going obsolete is a long running problem in pretty much every porn game. You unlock a tree early where you get a peek at a boob or something and then they push you away. You come back to that same place later in the game when you're buttfucking 6 times a day and they're still "tee hee, we can't do that, it wouldn't be proper!"

Updating the trees to match your current relationship level squares your workload, which given that these games are typically developed by a single person or a very small team makes it just way too hard. Retiring old dialog trees works, but makes the game feel very thin as characters don't have anything to say 90% of the time. There is no easy solution.

Other than the alternate outfit race at the beginning of the game (which is near impossible to win without a walkthrough or way too much planning for a porn game), Eric doesn't have a time limit. The game makes you feel rushed, but as long as you keep your relationship up with a sister he'll never complete his evil plan. You have all the time in the world to foil his plot. Plus he generates a good deal of cash one you have the camera installed in the living room and Mom's room.

My big complaint with him is getting the blackmail photos is damn near impossible. There's like a 2% chance of him triggering the event where you have a shot at getting them and it only makes the check twice a week, and even then you need to have bought the expensive camera and then pass a couple of low % checks. I ended up having his mind destroyed by BDSM lady before I got the pictures.

I like the early versions of this game. Maybe cause the more and more I played it it got more repetitive and many flaws of it became apparent. The story is a classic one but I´m really fine with those if they´re well written. The characters are nice but unfortunately not as fleshed out as I wished them to be. And the later ds got the lazier the writing has become till we reached a point where the doctor has been introduced. That´s (at the latest) the point where I realized how many bad things this game has. Repetitive gameplay, a theoretically interesting story with a severe lack of coherence, structur and consequences of your actions (TOO common in incest games!) and a lack of sound are those I´d rate the most annoying flaws. I still like it but not with the same passion anymore I did some months before. Still one of my favorite incest games, especially with that much uninteresting stuff being released.

It´s a shame Darksilver didn´t include more (and more importantly, relevant) content!

 

[arnab00725]

I Really Hate this game, No offense I respect all the hard work and art designs but the developers and the artists but I hate Grinding my gears or stuff like these. I do not think I have ever observed such fucked up story where the main character was forced so much. I was expecting a fantasy story but got into this mess. And I tried playing at least half of the story and got the success part but then I ask is it really worth that much effort for the main character to even live with a family like this. I don't even know how much sad I am because of this storyline. Again Sorry Devs Not Insulting the hard work, just expressing the feelings

We need a brave volunteer to make a renpy remake. Unity and RPGM are bonerkill. They are not suitable for sex games.

Then this brave volunteer should rewrite the dialogues and the story to make it somewhat believable.

The volunteer will finally have to rework the game mechanics in order to avoid the traumatic grinding experience.

Eventually Big Brother will be enjoyable to play.

I never played a game as frustrating as this one. The renders seem so nice when you look at them for the first time, but you do not know the grinding pain it takes to get there. To make the things worse, DarkSilver apparently enjoyed NTR and continuously cockblocking you by often making angles where you couldn't see what is happening (for instance Alice's cam).

I agree with this 100%

My only addition would be Alice. Where her switch in roles (dom/sub) once again turns the main character into .. i don't know what. A scurrying cockroach? Running little cockroach errands to ensure every ones mood is good except his own. He is back where he started; grappling control out of someone elses hand, that won't change. Eating scraps. Urgh.

- Edit: After trying to play beyond the above point in the game, I'm just too apathetic and won't.

The main character can be denied interaction randomly, but cannot deny it himself.

If the initial question was relating to game play; then yes. This game gets to a grind. (Days spent doing one or two interactions then standing in the bathroom clicking the pass time button just to get to another day to reach maybe random X or Y event)

 

[meanie]

Seriously………there is a CAMERA IN EVERY ROOM how is it not easier to expose everything eric does?

i've also wondered about this myself, it would throw a wrench right into the eric plotline, probably why the author never addresses this issue

Even though these comment(s) were probably before the later content was introduced.

This logic is what tears Alice's blackmail path down. Why the main character doesn't just laugh in Alice's face after recording some 10 second video on her phone; these moments hurt my head.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
