>Game has a romance subplot that doesn't involve the MCWhat's the point of this?Either make it a romance with the protagonist or have zero romance at all.
>>729706440why not both
sniff my fart
>>729706440I like seeing my bros find love too
I like to watch
>>729706440fucking Danganronpa v3
>>729706440Hey look, I found a pic of op
>>729706440You can have romance options for the MC while other characters have romance subplots for themselves. It makes the cast feel a little more lively and not like everyone just soley exists for the MC's benefit.
>>729706743Why would I are about romance between people that aren't me? Im not a cuckold
>>729706440>nooooo other characters cant have relationships! the entire world needs to revolve around meeeee!
>>729706525>>729706587YABBA DABBA DOO
>>729706440Suck my dick. I'm tired of party members having no personality besides being the main character's butt buddy.
>>729707020You sound like a narcissistic sociopath who couldn't get laid regardless of what era in human history you found yourself in.
>>729706591It was based for letting the loser bro character get a girl.
>>729706440>/v/irgin faggot hates when other people are happyyou'll be trooning out in 3 years tops
>Protagonist can romance any one character, everyone else has no agency and gets blue balledshit>You can play matchmaker and everyone gets hitchedsweet
>>729706440>help others find their happy endings>start wondering when it'll happen to you
>>729706440The protagonist is not literally you. Watching the protag fall in love is no different from watching an NPC fall in love.
>>729708182Nta but narcissistic sociopaths get pussy
>>729706440No, female side-characters should get into relationships with each other and have them mc impregnate them both.
>>729706743>not like everyone just soley exists for the MC's benefit.But they do.
>>729708182>legitimate complaint >extremely womanlike emotionally charged barrage of insults response
>>729706440 KILL ALL SELF-INSERTERSYOU RUIN EVERYTHING YOU TOUCHCANT HAVE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT UNLESS IT BENEFITS MY SELF INSERT OC WAHHHHHHHHH
>>729710817why is self inserting bad doe
>>729710751It's not "legitimate complaint", you psycho fuck.
>>729710225>I have no argument and I must think about troonsInteresting, but not concerning.
>>729706440Unless we go full harem (yes plz), when you already hooked up why shouldn't the un-used LI do the same?Ideally you get jealous and tempted to reconsider, which I think is a fair amount of trouble for having romances at all and encourages replays
>>729706440I think it's sweet when side characters have good chemistry, especially when it's members of your party in an RPG. Pic related was super cute. Cless and Mint work perfectly, and these two hit it off really soon after Chester gets back in the party
>5 different mcs>each with a different romantic interest>no ntr (unless you count one of them getting together with the dead girlfriends twin sister at the end)take the eroge pill
>>729707020The protagonist isn't you either.
>>729710881in the case of the most important character in the narrative becoming a stand in, execution becomes a hurdle because the MC has to be as inoffensive and average as possible for the sake of inclusion and immersion, instead of having a properly and potentially well written character. It's like reading a novel for women.>and then the sidekick suddenly falls in love with the player (the person holding the controller), because they are awesome
>>729712175
>>729706440I miss games where every member of your team had an opposite-sex counterpart that was also their canon romantic interest.>>729707020You have a cuckold mentality. Wanting your own partner all to yourself is normal; feeling cucked when every other female shows any interest in anyone else, especially in a non-porn game, is crazy obsessive.
>>729706440Its worse when the best girl doesn't get her own route.
>>729710881There is no legitimate argument against self insert protagonists
>game has an hour long quest line about fixing two homo's marriage>first buy find flowers to give to the other homo>then you hear exposition and backstory about the homos (more than you hear about your protagonist's backstory, mind you)>the two homos are the village's pride, they are so much more kind, hard working and thoughtful than the rest of them>remind the homos why they married and fix their relationship>this is one of the first quests in the game, about 10 min after your faction leader told you that you are the only thing between them and the end of the worldthe "Wayfinder" experience
>>729713243Self insert protagonist are dull as dishwater. I prefer a protag that's very broken and interesting like Shirou or has heart like Battler.
>>729713381I hope you refunded it
>>729706440Id rather no romance at all. It makes me want to kms. I can only relate to incel MCs
>>729713468This but only with regards to silent character creator slop MCs.
>>729713468>like shirou>literal whiteknight>muh 3 routes and the exploration of the different ideals>but its actually all just an excuse to get the player to become a fan of said heroine of each route to then sell tons to smelly virgin otaku>artlel
>>729706440Japanese hands wrote this post.
>>729713472Sadly I was playing with a friend and we skipped all questing just to explore the map, that, with the tutorials and introsequence combined ate 2h of the playtime before we even got to the questing partDon't worry, at least we both hated it enough to stop playing on the spotWe played that quest just to see how bad it was, and just so I could add it to the negative review about how the game doesn't respect it's own protagonists / setting.I mean for fucks sake, if you had a world ending situation in your hands, and your protags 2 priorities should be>regain your memories and power back>save the world from the ancient evil TMI just don't see what kind of retard writer tells you to go pick flowers, least of all for two gay men
>>729713684
>>729711968>So, whatever.Ok cuck
>>729712276>escapism.......BAD
>>729712436>I miss games where every member of your team had an opposite-sex counterpart that was also their canon romantic interest.I don't, it always came off as forced.
>>729713468>Shirou or BattlerBoth self inserts, try again.>>729713709*korean
>>729713784I accept your concession
>>729713809That's not what I said. Does even basic reading comprehension somehow make you feel cucked?
>>729713914Nah it's cute and traditional and I miss it in this gay subversive culture your kind have plunged us into
>>729714058Your a cuck
>>729714097>your kindAm I in the room with you right now while you're not eating breakfast?
>>729714058>I like seeing and imagining other people in relationships while I remain sad and aloneGIMME A CGIMME A UGIMME
>>729713958>Both self insertsAnd who by your estimation is not a self insert?>>729713991blow it out your ass kikey bitch.
>>729714210>incel seethes in ragelel
>>729714210Any female playable character.
>>729714143But I did eat breakfast, mr. gay agenda
>>729706440
>>729714109>YourNo thanks, you keep it. It belongs with its own kind.
>>729714369You are a cuck
If you can wreck someone else's romance it'd be fun.
>>729714414Well done. So should I charge you for that grammar lesson, or your bull?
>>729706440>>729706440>game has a romance subplotDropped. Miss me with that gay shit. If I wanted to read soppy OOC interactions I'd reread Twilight.
>>729714508I dunno, you are a cuck
>>729706440>protagonist gets all three main heroines>butt of jokes best friend ends up happy married with an unnamed girl not shownthe perfect way to do it
>>729714358Who cares? We watched Prilliya for Illya.
>>729714358>>729714637Chloe want's Shirou's cock, you lost yuri xissters
>>729707020I have some disturbing news for you
>>729714712Okay
>>729710492only the medium intelligence or higher ones. OP sounds like a complete retard.
>love interest has a "timed" route where if you don't have enough relationship points with her at a given point in the game, she and a male party member hook upFUCKING
>>729714712I'm not a yurifag.
>>729710881self-inserting isn't bad, the problem is two groups of people. the people who think you have to self insert into literally everything and that its impossible to like a character if you don't see them as "you", and the people who think its impossible to self insert as a character different than yourself even for a moment.
>>729714210>And who by your estimation is not a self insert?If its a video game, the player character is almost always the self-insert. In most otaku media the protagonist is the self-insert, regardless of how complex they are. Self-insert characters don't necessarily have to be blank slates.
>>729714819Never encountered this before, it either the mc has a harem of wives or their is one heroine for (you) and the other heroines have their pairing, what games?
>>729714819lol what game?
>>729714931iirc Some of the Harvest Moon games will have certain bachelorettes who get married to NPCs after a few years if you don't make a move on them. those farm girls aren't gonna wait to start a family. iirc there's even one game where you can cuck an NPC right at the altar and everyone in town just laughs about it.
>>729715049Ah I see, never played them.
>>729714928Even if the male mc is shown with his sprite 100% time?
>>729714928this desu
>>729715135Especially if the male mc is shown with his sprite 100% of the time
>>729706440>>729707020this has real "but i did eat breakfast this morning" energy.
>>729706440For all the keks among the players (95% of them)
>>729714210>And who by your estimation is not a self insert?Watch better animehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71wG9uLaMLQ
>>729710881It's bad in video games because I can't write you. I can only write a conception of some character.Self inserting is fine if you're a player character and I'm the dungeon master. Self inserting will probably be fine when AI gets good enough to react to your inputs without relying on a script. But where we are now and have been for the last 50 years, video games simply can't accommodate (You) in the script. Self Insert's are bad, because they aren't really You at all.
>>729706440>game has a secret yuri subplotI fucking love this trope
>>729717131webm not related? that must be the least secret yuri "subplot" in digital media
>>729717008>Watch better animethis is a vn thread retard.
>>729717131>post selfcest
>>729717520It's very hidden and subtle actually
>>729706440What if that romance subplot is a quest that gives you legendary gear and a hefty amount of gold?
>>729717629???
