>>2785592The artist is Crescentia, The character is Sethos from a W.I.P. called Deathblight Guilty Raid. It's more of a hentai game. A top-down action combat. But with a side screen - I don't know you'd called it, a "grab screen" maybe. But it's a CG Image that changes with the setting, amount of damage, and number of enemies surrounding you.
I'd argue that you do in fact prefer VNs. Here you are talking about games in terms of "scenes" or what some retards would call "visual novel segments".
And here you say the only good VNs have Dating Simulations; which would make it a video game and not a visual novel at all.
You're not respecting the medium itself, but instead focusing on your personal engagement with it. Which is purely visual.
VN and VG creators are responsible for the visuals. But you bring yourself, and your relationship to the images are your own. You are a subjective viewer and therefore outside it's objective taxonomy.
