What is your biggest gripe about games offered by Nutaku?

[Pervy91G]

Hello people, just joined recently though have been sponging around for almost 2 yrs now. With Nutaku turning 2yrs old and increasing number of games being offered, i'm sure we all have a hard time sampling them all - not to mention the flood of events we get. I'm sure all of us have our own opinions and favorites, but what I'm interested in talking about here is not the common rants experienced by everyone, things like RNG, breakdown in tech, etc. I'm talking about the more domestic stuff - such as tastes and gaming experience.

Well to start the ball rolling, i'd go about my personal gripe about the hentai games currently hosted by Nutaku. On the whole, I've had a very satisfying gamin experience, but my primary gripe about the hentai games is that most of them, with the exception of a few, introduce us to the very first companion character - and then leave us hanging. Yes, i'm talking about the introductory tour guides that tutor us through the game: Navi from LoV, Anna from aegis, Maron from angelic saga, etc... For goodness sake, these are characters you see every day when you log in for the bonuses, even if you hate their guts, there's no way you wouldn't want to get intimate with them at least once - but nope... they're so close to you that they're almost like your siblings, say the game designers. Let's bring the Westermark effect to the hentai gaming world... you're supposed to feel icky about touching or kissing those companions.

So with LoV coming to a close this month, I've ended my short time with the gals I rescued from... I'd never forget them all, least of all the one that got away, yeah Navi, sorry we just ain't meant to be together.

I'll just get the most obvious gripe out of the way: censorship. Thankfully, they're finally starting to move away from it.

As for your gripe, Quiz of Valkyrie seems to be the only game that doesn't tease the mascot. The prologue starts with Liddy's scenes. Naturally, she's the best mascot.

Lord of Valkyrie's Navi does have scenes, but good luck getting her cards. Not that that's relevant now since Nutaku LoV is dead.

Likewise for Ichigo (or Hametena) in Osawari Island. You needed to throw down $100 for a CHANCE at getting the former, and the latter was buried in the ever-expanding SL gacha pool, which is a crapshoot to get even one of with tickets anyway.

Aigis' Anna is an anniversary event that we have yet to get. No telling when they'll ever get around to releasing it.

Dunno about Girls Kingdom's Salome or any of the other card games. I'm pretty sure Nazuna in Flower Knight Girls doesn't have scenes though. I don't suppose Airu in Pero gets more scenes outside of the first stage either.

So this found its way onto Twitter today. Quite interesting since this kind of dispels the idea that Nutaku is just a publisher. If anything this has just generated a gripe for the Kanpani Girls team and their slow ass releases of new content >:3

But based on that list, does anyone actually feel that games not developed by Nutaku do better or vice versa?

[Pervy91G]

I didn't know that Quiz and Flower knights are actively developed by nutaku. Well, Quiz at least feels far too Americanized, so that's understandable.

Well, i feel that they might just get more attention and we get to talk to the devs via discord and such a lot more. If you take a look at aigis we get virtually no info at all.

Whether they are better or not i cannot tell, but Aigis is going incredibly bad on nutaku compared to DMM. We are getting an event every 2nd week and many things have been left in the dust.

Can't say the same is true for things like Hitsuji where they even listened a little and the two latest events were not forcing people to compete for the top 100 but top 1000 instead. GK might be a bit weird with their additions of things to the shop and supposedly the coding is rather horrid according to the devs so i am unsure what to say about it. FKG is so far so good for me, they actively work to remove all bugs and do not even wait for a patch later on but fix it immediately with a bit of a notice on discord ahead of time.

That said, it is difficult to know what is part of the original game and not (aside from some art they added to PPS and AS). All i can tell is that Aigis is going horribly slowly and games that nutaku develop are going horribly fast at times.

I think it depends on the dev team in question. Lord of Valkyrie is one of the games not developed by Nutaku, and we all know how it ended up. Dragon Providence, Duel Squad, and Dragon Tactics Memories seem to be doing alright, though. Dunno much about Sweet State or Big Bang Empire, I've never bothered with them.

Litterally every game just wants to waste your money and when it comes to sexual content it's just stupid pictures that hardly move I've played better free games on sites like new grounds with some actual real sexual content and interactive gameplay without the pointless grind or having to pay a dime. All the nutaku games I've played ran on some bullshit stamina sistem that limits gameplay without paying to continue and you have to grind the absolute hell out of just to get any of the crappy sex scenes "oh boy nothing like a picture that does nothing as a reward for hours of senseless gameplay or loads of cash" nutaku is just a rip off there are loads of better hentai/sex games out there for free you just have to look for them. Especially since the prices of gold and what little gold does in game compared to other mobile or pc/console based games is outrageous they seem to think their shits worth a hell of alot more then it is especially with such a weak payoff. Nutaku is just garbage.

Well a few problems with Nutaku's FKG need to be altered:

#1.Sprite art laziness, make all sprites look exactly like thier main artwork, with a toggle choice to choose between unawakened and awakened.
#2.Recent popularity event fiasco - as nice as the compensation was, they still should deliver on the poll results eventually. No big rush, just a promise to do it would suffice.
#3.Cost of flowergems comparison to JP version: cost of gems needs to be lowered as its currently more expensive to buy on the english site, fairness and all that.
#4.Full translation: there is lots of jp voice acting we do not have translation for, even better would be english voice actors but budget wise they could atleast fully translate all spoken words into english, otherwise it is abit of a pisstake.

[MiqDoloran]

They considered doing English dubs. But why bother when the JP VAs are so much better than what they could find in the West?

[Seraphim]

Have to agree, the jp put the most soul and passion into thier voice acting in comparison to english va's (although some of them are amazing and do sound better than thier counterparts, legends like Jamieson Price and Chris Sabbat ect). To be honest I would be more than happy with a full text translation like speechbubbles or something, as your point is indeed a very good one.
