What do you consider the most anticlimactic tropes in porn games?

I dislike lazy writing for blakmail stories, when the antagonist is far from having enouh to force the girl into kinky stuff but she still is like "okay whatever"

I dislike when the female protagonist doesn't seem affected at all by the fact they are being raped, like why even bother including "rape" scene if it looks like consensual sex ??

I hate when you are forced to choose to make your girl look like a complete slut to have access to sex scenes rather than having forced scenes as an alternative.

I hate when devs add battles in their hentai rpg but make 0 effort to make it interesting (no costume shredding, no gropping scene, no interesting/original gameplay). Why would you include fights if at the end i just have to spam atk....

I hate when the corruption of the MC happens too quickly and for no good reason. And the fact that yu never have an alternative to not let her get corrupted.

Underage characters engaging in sex. There are some other kinks, but as far as tropes of porn games, these could be the worst, and causing me to stop playing.

Spontaneous list, from bad to worse:

- Virgin parades. Everyone is 18+ but totally inexperienced when it comes to sex because some players will whine if it is even implied that anyone else than them gets to have fun. Worst variant: The LIs are 18+ and don't even know anything about sex.

- The Standard Progression: HJ to BJ/CL to humping to sex to anal. It gets tedious, predictable and thus boring. Get creative instead, FFS! Different characters should have different preferences, some should be more open to go straight (or gay) to the fun, while others are more reserved. That also makes it more interesting to explore their different personalities.

- Weird body proportions. From the Hyperdick(TM) to MegaBoobs(TM). Why can't we just get attractive, realistic characters?

- Soulless Characters: The MC is an empty shell with little to no redeeming qualities, yet the LIs fall in love with him. LIs are soulless fuckdolls that only exist to have sex with the MC. Even worse when the game fails to show emotions in the renders or sprites.

- Non-Consent and other creepy stuff. No need to explain, I guess.

- Unavoidable fetishes, especially without warning. In my case, the most common fetish to ruin a game for me is unavoidable foot fetishism. Personally, I find licking feet only marginally less disgusting than scat. It's a total boner killer. You play the game for a while and suddenly the MC is like "Ohhh, feet! Wanna lick!" and there's no option to skip that shit. Same goes for molestation and other non-con stuff.
If a game has a specific setting that includes certain unavoidable fetishes then that's fine if it's in the description. You can't complain about BDSM in a BDSM-themed game or non-con in a revenge-themed game. But jumping people with unavoidable stuff that hasn't been advertised? Bad move.

You've hit a couple of mine there.

Granted i'm not the one sucking dick but the rule still applies to dykes. Unless that person really enjoys giving without receiving then no girl is handing out blowjobs and then leaving it at that.

Simply put, we wants our pleasure too. I haven't heard any of my friends talking about giving a handjob since we were 13. In my twinsy's words, "they have their own hands, it's not worth my effort, I get nothing from it".
...
But the MC's cum is always soooo tasty! Isn't that enough of a reward? :ROFLMAO:

Not so much a trope, but when your favourite character is looking great in all her beach, gym, everyday wear etc then the sex scene happens and they're in lingerie and fishnets, big turnoff for me.

New answer. Threesomes where the girls barely interact and don't seem attracted to each other in a selfish manner.

Endless double blowjobs and NO ONE eating pussy in a threesome is an instant turn off for me.

Biggest pet peeve about tropes that litter F95 is anal being the highest form of sex. It's always Groping -> Handjob -> Titjob -> Blowjob -> Vaginal -> Anal.

It's an odd sort of progression of "corruption" that doesn't make too much sense.

1: Idiot protagnist.
I hate stupid people in general.

2: Unaturaly lucky.
When the only reason your story works is because the mc is unaturaly lucky it removes all sence of victory.
To know the only reason the mc successed was because of luck rather then skill kills any joy in victory.

3: Idiotic police.
I get it.
The police of overworked, understaffed and underpayed.
And they still manage to catch a lot of criminals.
Stop writting them as morons.

4: Trigger hunting.
Trigger hunting is the act of finding what insane troll logic the dev is using and geus what you need to do to advance the story.
If i need a walkthrough for your game its a bad game.

It's an odd sort of progression of "corruption" that doesn't make too much sense.
It is called incrementalism. It is an actual method of behavior modification. Humans often modify their own behavior in this manor and don't realize it. So young adults or kids with little to no sexual experience this is quite common. It's also some what common for someone who has just had a single partner for a long time.

While it is true different people have different levels of progression into sexual experience. It is also true there is inane behavior pattern that is more than just a little common among young people when it comes to their path into sexuality.
Often holding hands and then the first kiss are an example. The first step is building that willingness for close contact and then experimenting from there. What the young lady is willing to do from there tends to fall into the real of how self confident she is and how much she thinks she needs to give in to keep her boyfriend just an example. Feeling each other up is usually next as part of getting used to being close to each other and being in that personal space of comfort. And the progression does go from there.

Generally the more partners someone has had the more steps they are also willing to skip. That isn't always the case.
I don't know of anything that is 100% in behavioral psychology.

While most women tend to make anal harder to get to. I found a number of Catholic females from Mexico that considered anal before marriage ok. Because they felt they could claim they were still virgins.

It isn't anal is the highest form of sex its the hardest to get most women to agree to or go along with.

I like how you draw us in with this detailed analysis of how people behave and then you just go

You are truly a man of science
The post was a lot larger I cut out a lot because I get told fairly often it is a word wall.
So I figured just give one example of where you can find a difference fairly easily.
I was made aware of it by my brother's first wife. Yep, she is Hispanic.

The abrupt change is purely do to me cutting off a lot of the post.

But if you like I can make a longer list of when and how behavior can change more abruptly.
Spring break. Often women think they have more anonymity and it won't come back to them.
They think this is a chance to let loose experiment. There are a hole host of factors each woman's reason for taking a larger leap is different.

Rebellious behavior. My wife and I met because her and her parents weren't getting along. She was 19 I was 33.
Girls stuck in a repressive religious household do tend to rebel. Often Amish rebel during Rumspringa and get into all sorts of shit.
There are a number of religions it is fairly common occurrence.

Like I said it was a lot longer post initially.

Anticlimactic? The "coma" intro.

The coma intro is actually a pretty good intro to use, it's flexible and an easy way to handle an intro. However, there's nothing more unnerving than a coma intro that has no purpose. I remember playing a game a while back that STILL fucking bothers me.

Basically, the protagonist and his father get into a car accident, dad dies. A couple months later, the protagonist wakes up. He goes through physical therapy and out the door he goes! The only person to visit him was his mother, his two sisters are no where to be seen.

As soon as he gets home, his mother begins to act all nonchalant about the whole thing. "oh, you just woke up from a coma? My husband, your father is dead? lol, k, but seriously, I gotta go to work now. See you later."
The younger sister wasn't much better. She was doing the whole "cute, sweet little sister trope" about how much she missed him, only to never once visit him at the hospital. Her brother was in the hospital, in a coma, her father is dead, but she was busy? wtf?
The older sister was the worst possible person. Protag goes to bathroom, sister is showering. Sister sees brother walk in, sister blackmails brother. Bitch, he was just in a fucking coma!

It was nuts lol. The most extremely bad "coma intros" that I've seen. Like, either his family gives no shits about him or his father, or the entire family are a secret cult of psychopaths. I generally like the coma intro, it's just that people don't wanna use it correctly or give it any justice.

Which I am completely okay with, but make that apart of the character's personality. I'm more speaking from the blanket "Every person goes through these steps exactly and cannot veer off from these steps." I have yet to see a game here that show anal is harder to get many women to agree to- in fact, most games say anal comes right after vaginal with minimal effort.

So my point still stands, but you put some good thoughts in the old brain housing group about how to go about implementing a more realistic corruption in games.

It can be part of the girls personality.

Most the time people simply complain about the games that they have to figure out what the girl wants.
I made this post on using an AI_system for game characters.
https://f95zone.to/threads/a-better-corruption-method-for-games.125671/
You can see the sort of complains there about "Non-linear design".
They are complaining about something having no understanding of what the you can do with the system.
If they understood what is capable then they would know you can make linear content with it. The only real issues this allows different personality types to exist without having to do as much work.

Part of the problem is most these people developing a game aren't good programmers.
which is why you see lots of games with huge amounts of nested if else statements.
What that means is anything they do for what one personality type they nearly have to duplicate for another character with a different personality.

Most games even the so called sand box games are little more than scene trees.
Scene tree = dialog response you give determines what scene is available next. The sand boxes just hide it behind variable levels.

You don't even see stuff as simple as dialog pools being used.
Dialog pool being a list of similar terms that can be selected to convey the message.
Some pools are more advanced and which allow sentence structures to be modified not just replaced with complete responses.

I'm always disappointed when I see a character wearing hot/skimpy clothing but once the sexual interactions starts the clothes suddenly vanish and they are fully nude...

"Stripping" and "Clothed sex" sequences should not be ignored.
I agree completely...but, similar to the giant dick problem (it is tough to get good angles/shots in 3D with a 6" dick), this is also a 3D asset issue.
There just aren't a lot of good clothes assets that have sexy undressing stages/morphs, and trying to do it yourself is just a lot of work (rewarding, though, I'm hoping).
I have been just trying to set up a simple scene with a guy having his pants pulled down while seated, and it has just been incredibly tedious, lol. Totally see now why the pants magically disappear in these VNs.

Wish I had added this to my post here a year ago lol.

I have a foot fetish and having a foot-licking scene come out of nowhere like that is jarring as fuck. It actually hurts my mind when it happens, never mind killing my boner too.

Tag-fishing is a thing, and it hurts everyone involved.

On the unavoidable fetishes thing, I think part of the problem there is everyone is different. There's a good deal of kinks I'd rather bypass myself, yet others like those things. I can imagine that makes the devs lives a living nightmare. That said, advertising what's in the game costs *nothing*, and I think should be a minimum goal for any dev, from shovelware to top-tier.

I think my main boner killer is when its too easy.

I am a power hungry lich.
I crave power.

When woman trow themselves at me.
When they are eager to sleep with me.
I get bored.
I dont feel invested in easy lays.
I want to break there mind.
Corrupt them until nothing but absolute devotion to my will remain.

It is the same reason i find slave games boring.
If i can just buy the woman it isnt much of a conquer.

A woman exist to be conquered.
Once you conquered her there is little interest left.
