Still about violence and sex but it used to be too.

[–] Noja@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 days ago

Violence and ~~sex~~ fade to black.

But we still get tits and blood, right?

[–] tormeh@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yes, but if you have a bit of critical thinking ability you realize there's a bit more underneath.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Yes, but I also like tits and blood.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Yes. Like bones, muscles, organs...

It's always amused me that so called 'mature' games are usually pretty puerile.

Am i weird for having played Witcher 3 mainly for the story?

[–] gedhrel@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Yes. Any normal person would be in it for the Gwent.

Not at all. It's one of the very few games where I didn't skip any cutscenes. I also found it extremely easy to follow along, and also continue the main quest lines. I've never finished skyrim, and not just because of the modding rabbit hole, I just never gave a shit about the story. (I honestly think bethesda is extremely overrated for games, but thats another thing entirely). Even though I found the story easy to play and actually got invested in it, the side quests and side stories were just as fun. Although I don't think I have ever played any mission as fun and different then drunk dialing while dressing up. That shit was hilarious.

cyberpunks mature was so silly honestly. Little 70's light porn T&A with flickering lights and wierd music. Then the gore is like limbs flying.

Yu-No was a porn game that legitimized the visual novel genre back in 1996. It's still a porn game (and with some pretty heinous content), but it made the industry wake up to what games could be.

Oh god I remember watching the 2019 anime but getting really confused a few episodes in because things just seemed off and like I was missing something. When I searched for it the next day on the site I was using showed the 1998 OVA "series", and I thought it might provide the context I was missing. And oh boy it certainly did, just not in the way I expected...

Never knew it had such a big role in Visual Novel history. That's cool to learn!

The original game was on Sega Saturn in Japan and very uncensored
