View Full Version : Will Pussy Saga ever clean up its act?

I have to say the one thing that really turns me off about Pussy Saga isn't the fact that its a complete ripoff of Hunnie Pop, but the fact it really needs to clean its mouth with a bar of soap. I mean I know it sounds weird to say that somebody needs to stop being vulgar in a porn game, but they way the game goes about describing its bachelorettes seems really duragatory and outdated. I mean it keeps on referring to its girls as "whores" and "bitches". That doesn't turn me on at all it just either a) makes me think the author is still stuck in the 1400's or b) make me think the girls are loose sluts who are probably brimming with STDs.

TLDR: there's a difference between talking dirty, and sounding like an immature troglodyte

Its a problem with a few of these "western" porn games which seem to think subtlety is something you eat with a side of salad. Sexgangsters n sweet state being other offenders. I doubt it will clean its act since it seems the devs think that its either "charming" or what "these nerds want" instead of being cringe worthy bs. Its like the tutorial of flower knight girls, whoever can seriously read her dialogue as shes "prepared to take it in every wet hole" without feeling the need to laugh is either insane or wondering how they got to this point of their lives. Like telling a bad joke and then pointing out its intentionally a bad joke to force a laugh, making it "hardcorez lewds" just makes its dissapointing and boring. I here you though, its a fun game but its jarring to see what the devs do, do they even have any writers?

You should try the latest additions, like Girls on tanks or Phatasma deluxe. You should be happier.

And the amusing thing is how long it's been in the top 3 for. So I guess despite all that, there's plenty who do like it or simply don't care.

As someone who loved HuniePop, I don't get why PS always seems to be in the top ranking other than being similar to that game. Besides the 'dating sim' mechanic and puzzle system it's nothing like HP and totally degrades it by heavily limiting your stuff and pushing you to give in to the fiendish micro-transactions that speed up upgrades which otherwise take god knows how long to upgrade. I've played my fair share of games on Nutaku and this game seems to provide the one of the if not worst environment to free players out of all of them.

I think this game would have been a nice homage to HuniePop if it was sold as a downloadable for a one-off price, and would have easily gotten it myself. But with it's current 'business model' I find it hard to imagine people shelling out money for it and even harder to imagine it being popular among the free players.

But hey, what do I know.. it apparently is high up there and maybe I just haven't given it enough time. Maybe I'm spoiled with having experienced HP first but honestly I highly doubt that and think I've seen enough from my perspective to justify my opinion on it. It's derogatory demeanor doesn't bother me one bit because I'm too appalled with everything else lol.

At this point i'm pretty sure Nutaku is being bribed to put in on the front, because I've seen it drop all the way to the last slot before jumping up to 3rd miraculously. I haven't seen any updates so it can't be doing that well

How does that tracker work anyway? does it count the amount of active users, play time, money spent? I wouldnt be surprised if it was only 3rd place because a lot of actives who play for about 30 minutes a day then forget it exists until the next event.

God knows how that things works. In number of active players, I would think FKG and MWA should always be in the top 3, but they're nearly alwats floating at the bottom.
I can't imagine Harem Heroes and Pussy Saga being more popular than those two.

I've heard its based on number of signups in a short period, but I've never seen confirmation.

Last I heard, top ranking = active players, trending = new signups.

played the game, dropped it

art is so ugly = at least Huniepop looks better and manages to turn me on

haven't seen any American "Hentai" art look arousing except for some comics like Vampirella

A majority of the art in Pussy Saga is traced from other artists (I don't think this game has any original art of its own). I don't see how people can keep playing other than maybe collect evidence of what is traced.

PS likely ranks/trends high because they advertise on PornHub. Haven't seen anything else from Nutaku advertised there, at least.

That... would actually make a disturbingly large amount of sense. I mean, its one of the least "anime" games here so it would explain why its so popular with people who might normally not consider going to nutaku, and since its easy enough to play it would attract a larger crowd than one of the more "difficult" games. Advertisement is literally the only way i could see it actually getting the no.1 spot once in a while.

I can't possibly imagine liking Hunie Pop in the first place. It was a boring ass softcore ecchi game with dull puzzles and a marketing strategy built around engaging lolcows and whining about SJWs for street cred. I'd rather throw my money at a rip off than those trolling dipshits.

Hunniepop has one of the best match 3 gamedesign out there. You can dislike the whole genre, but you can't really say it's bad.

There's at least a half dozen match 3 games I like better and even the worse ones are often cheaper if not outright free.

From an article I read, this game uses artwork that was traced (without permission) from various other artiest over at pixiv.

So I don't think they will "clean up their act" as they were not really serious in becoming original content creators to begin with.

Ya know, it occurred to me that this quote could reasonably be interpreted as implying that I pay for Pussy Saga, so let's be very clear here that I don't pay for Pussy Saga. I have li'l dignity left, dammit.

I'm not talking about the overall game, but about the gameplay. Huniepop has a very solid gamedesign on the match 3 part.

An article on the subject:

TBH, the pace and power activation layer he likes actually annoys me waaay worse the randomness in most other match 3 games.

The story for most western games is meh, anyway.. so just skip dialogues if they suck for you XD

Agreed I find the dialogue in most of the 'Western' games too obvious and jaded. The Pussy Saga guys are based in Russia and we all know how famous Russians are for the subtlety and Romantic charm. I prefer to have a well written more innocent girls that don't come across as mega STD wenches from the get go. None of the no-DMM games have got this right yet, let's hope they can start improving.

Something that i found hilarious was a guy in a forum asking a while back if there would be multiplayer for a game so they could compare "sluts" Like, seriously mate? Thats the first word that comes to mind? Not that im a feminist or any of the kind but the lack of tact with the game might be because a player base does exist (not to sound stereotypical but probably younger members of the community and older members who dont have a lot of romantic encounters) that actually talks that way in the game. Its just so cringey for me though, its like if you called yourself a galactic conqueror in real life for playing EVE online or spent time with your co-workers discussing how much you hate thelegend27.

I rather doubt it's a young people thing. People like to blame things on the kiddies and yet at the end of the day demographic studies on gamers always comes back saying that players across all genres are typically well into adulthood. Pussy Saga will never get a Pullitzer but ultimately I didn't really hate the dialogue all that much worse than the poorly translated bullshit you get from the Japanese games on this site. Call me nihilistic, but why exactly should I be any more interested in the J-game characters if ultimately most of them regress into the same blushing puddle of embarrassment the moment clothes start coming off? The homogeneity bothers me more than a few potty mouths.

Not too bothered w/ the dialogue, used to it after playing Games of Desire and Zoom

honestly both western and Japanese games have a varied personality in girls. Kamihime got assertive, femdom or really aggressive ladies

don't mind Pussy Saga since there is one innocent girl or two. Believe it was Linda and that green haired girl

The way I see it, the overly non-subtle style of dialogue is literally just appealing to the Western porn market. Dialogue in professionally produced Western porn is the same thing, pretty much, with women referring to themselves and each other as wet, horny, cum-hungry sluts desperate for a little bit of Fuck Time. That's probably why games like Phantasma and Harem Heroes and Pussy Saga can't go more than 2 lines of dialogue without sex coming up in some way, because the goal of Western porn is to get roiiiiiiiight into the puss. It's not about world building or character development, it's about making a man's pee-pee go into a woman's no-no place, or the collective phalluses of 5 men encroaching upon and exploring the myriad orifices of a single woman, or... Lesbians, but pretend I said it in a funny way like the previous two things.

If it's not direct appeal to the market, then it's just the devs being influenced by the market in the same way that they're influenced by the games they rip off and the art they trace: Expend as little effort as possible to make a game that people will play and pay for. The PS devs didn't need to think of a game idea because HuniePop exists, they didn't need to create original art because other art exists, and they certainly didn't need to sit there and think of complex dialogue, because stereotypes exist. There's no need for them to think of what Big-Titted Slutty Jessica is going to do at any given time, because the answer almost always involves a dick and her using various parts of her body to do things to it. There's no need for them to think of what Big-Titted Slutty Teacher Jessica is going to do at any given time, because the answer almost always involves a student's dick and her using various parts of her body to do things to it. I don't see most Western games "cleaning up their act" because of this. It's disgusting, shameless and, as much as I hate to use this word, objectifying, but it's what Western audiences are used to seeing in their porn, and writing cheap "dirty talk" is an effortless way to appeal to those audiences.

To be fair, I don't like the Eastern "no, don't touch me there, it's embarrassing" stuff much better because to me most of those scenes end up reading like the girl's unwilling and scared - yes, the exact opposite problem of Western dialogue - but at least cleaning it up involves nothing more than removing every "no" and "don't" and "embarrassing" and making some minor edits so it all makes sense. It's definitely not so fucked up and needlessly graphic that cleanup editing would be fully rewriting entire scenes because Sarah Slutstack can't go two lines of dialogue without mentioning her vajayjay being wet, or saying it's so hot that she wants to take off all her clothes and that's making her vajayjay wet, or lamenting about falling into a puddle of mud and getting all dirty so she needs to take a nice long hot shower and also that nice long hot showers make her vajayjay wet, or experiencing an earthquake or a really powerful explosion that shakes the ground and that all the shaking reminds her of her 30 inch vibrating double dildo and aw beans now she wants to go back home and use it because her vajayjay is wet.

I'm pretty at this point nutaku is being bribed. I can't understand for the life of me why somebody would pick a crappy western game over any of the ones imported from the east

I mean to be fair the "eastern" type stuff may appeal to sadists, but I don't understand who would be interested in a girl that sounds like a 4th grader with bad parents. Or maybe it's just the opposite end of the spectrum from too little to too much.

I find it funny that some of the characters' pics are them but a different skin color, like Nonna: black(ish?) in character and completely Caucasian in the pics.
