Ryu Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Just curious of what most people prefer on a very basic level (with every VN basically fitting into one of these two categories...) Dark themed VN or Love Themed VN. For me, I'm a kind of an all-rounder, if I like the story, any theme is good for me. Quote
Avenger Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Kinda the same, I go for story. But I still prefer love themed, I hate it when the guy doesn't get the girl I like Quote
Caelistas Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 All-rounder, and like Avenger, i hate it NTR, and sad/bad endings. Quote
Ecchi Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I'm pretty much the same. If the story's good, then I'll play it. Love theme is always a great addition though, same with dark. Both if possible! Quote
Avenger Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Forgot to make a poll oh well. Well just make one now, under Thread Tools I think. Quote
Ryu Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 Well just make one now, under Thread Tools I think. Here's a cookie for you sir. Quote
Avenger Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 You should probably have added an option for all-rounder. Oh well. Quote
OneManArmy Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 If the story's good, then I'll play it. I personally prefer darker stories. This 08/15 love theme can be sometimes damn annoying. Quote
Maou Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 How romantic! It appears only i like dark themes? Quote
Caelistas Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 How romantic! It appears only i like dark themes? Well yeah what do you expect, your the devil for christ's sake Quote
Olaf Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 How romantic! It appears only i like dark themes? You arent alone in this love theme loving forum However dark ones should be subtle (in lack of better word for it). Although i play both themes if story is promising. Quote
SaruDa Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I don't really like feel-good stories like Kana ~Imouto~, but I do enjoy games that are slightly upbeat, like YMK or Demonbane. Not crazy about the "RAPE RAPE RAPE" sort of thing like "Suck my dick or die". I'd say I probably fall slightly into the "dark" theme in my preferences though. Quote
animaker9 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 every now and then I play some dark themed eroges, but I kinda prefer love stories... But as long as the plot is good, I'm fine with it Quote
Avenger Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 So I think the general consensus is: play if good story, no NTR Quote
animaker9 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 So I think the general consensus is: play if good story, no NTR sounds about right Quote
Olaf Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 So I think the general consensus is: play if good story, no NTR You puy the matter simply but... yes:) Quote
kolo Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I like love stories but it usually turns out as boring / bad / too sweet so I mostly stick to dark ones. Quote
Altweiss Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Both as both type of VN has their own charms. Quote
Wilhem Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I've voted for Love themed because I prefer to feel in good mood when I've finished a game rather than feeling like jumping from a window ^^. Still it depend on what you mean by love and dark themed eroge, 'cos if by love you mean nukige then no I'm not a fan of those I prefer a good story. If by dark you mean a game with a dark story (like Jingai makyo as an example among others) then I definitely like those too but they have to have romance in it, not just murders, slaughter,... But if by dark themed eroge you mean rape and stuffs like that as the main element of the game then no I definitely don't like those. Quote
Malryth Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 for me so long as the story is good and the main guy isn't a asshole then i'll play it Quote
Caelistas Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 The story itself can be as dark and gruesume as hell, but i want a happy ending. Quote
Danisco Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 can't choose since i like both light and dark theme... for light for peaceful theme and Dark as for BADass style Quote
