Agreed. Supporting male characters are usually just the same unfunny butt monkeys. I would prefer if the side-kicks got their own heroines more often, perhaps even full blown routes from their perspective. That would actually fix a lot of problems I have with regular eroge. More varied MCs, no silly harems where there isn't an actual harem ending (worse than Hitler) and best of all also lift the quilt trip I always get from playing more than one route. Or they could just make them actual characters instead of always resorting to the same "stupid ero-buddy" cliche.

Speaking of which do any of you have eroge with likeable male characters to recommend? So far from stuff I've read
Multiple protagonists with their own heroines: Swan Song, SubaHibi, ef, Kajiri Kamui Kagura
Male side gets his own love but no route: Grisaia no Rakuen, Asairo, Senshinkan
Leyline games also had pretty non-standard and likeable male characters and at least one of them could get his own love interest depending on how the final game turns out. Daru in Steins;Gate was bit of an ero-butt monkey but still managed to be a likeable character despite that.

Hyped for Senshinkan and I'm really hoping the third Ley Line game gets announced for 2014, if not earlier. Otherwise it's plowing through the backlog for me.
