    For the record, the only reason I redeemed the bundle was to protest censorship! Really, I will not have any kind of fun or pleasure!

      The bundle is mid at best. You don’t even have to try and convince anyone.

        Yeah, my hopes weren’t to high, but I’ll give it a try this weekend… just to support the cause, you know.

        I think 4 of those games (including Postal) look very decent/promising, others either not my style or looking too generic/slop.

    I have to say since this whole anti porn in games thing has happened, I’ve ironically exposed myself to more porn games.

    Before I wouldn’t imagine playing the games. Ever since the itch unban, I’ve tried a few games on itch.io to see what the fuss was about and got absolutely hooked on Queens Brothel - to the point where I’ve paid for the full version on Patreon. And now I’ve got these games on my gog library.

    If the Christian brothers and sisters at Collective Shout wanted less people exposed to porn games, lol. lmao even.

      That is how their efforts usually work out.

      They are quite adept at shitting and falling back in it.

      Keep in mind it’s the same company that tweeted a dog whistle to Gamer gate and had a few insensitive transphobic faux pas: polygon.com/…/gog-twitter-wontbeerased-hashtag/.

      I could believe the latter ones were potentially accidental but I don’t know how tweeting the exact starting date of Gamer gate with the phrase “R.I.P games journalism” can be anything but intentional.

  • gerowen@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Word of warning, clicking “Claim” on any of these games claims them all. I clicked claim on Postal 2 and got a warning message that I never thought to read, but now I have “Lust Theory” and other timeless classics in my GoG library.

    It’s not a huge deal for me, just wanted to put this out there.

        You should: Being a DIK is a masterpiece. The erotic content is really just one aspect of a topnotch visual novel. Great story arcs. DrPinkCake absolutely knows their stuff!

      I am the gayest gay who ever was a gay.

      I feel like this is going to be a trivia question.

      “Who was the gayest gay who ever was a gay?”

      “JohnVanDenver?”

      “No, I’m sorry, the answer is JimVanDeventer.”

  • NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Of the list, I would say Lust Theory is worth a look.

    You are groundhogs daying through high school/college trying to bang every single woman in your life. Animations are… sufficient and I do kind of like that any of the more fucked up stuff is almost always followed up with “and then you were kicked so hard in the balls you died” although it would be nice if they weren’t critical path for progression. And it is pretty hilarious that the game lets you define your relationship to the various ladies you live with… but it is still pretty clearly coded for incest of some form which leads to hilarity like “It is so morally wrong that you are having sex with your Live In Janitor”… which I guess would actually be really morally wrong…

    But yeah. Mostly the bundle is the bottom of the barrel. Or stuff that has been around so long it is mostly just a meme for how bad porn games are (house party).

        So, there’s this game still on Steam called Slaves of Rome that is the definition of non-consentual NSFW games, and it’s also an open-world action RPG, so the format is very accessible and also not badly done for an indie. So, it has me very confused why it was spared.

      • Enkers@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Just getting around to trying it now. Will update with further info.

        Very first impressions:

        Yep, its sexo pokemon snap! If you’re into furry or pokephilia, and enjoy photography, this’ll probably be a fun time. It seems like it is more anthro focused though, not that I’d be a good judge of any of this or anything. >_>;

        Right off the bat, the walking animation is very janky, but otherwise it seems surprisingly polished. The tutorial is a bit info dumpy, but it’s not that overwhelming.

        Just starting actual gameplay now.

      The great thing about GOG is you don’t need the launcher, you can use a third party launcher like Heroic or just download the installers directly from the GOG website once you log in.

      source
    • Katana314@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I think it’s de-emphasized because part of the GOG appeal is that you don’t need a launcher and can grab direct DRM free installers. The launcher just exists for convenience.
