View Full Version : Why are western games so vulgar/distasteful?

So I tried a few of the games developed by westerners and it seems that compared to the games prepared from japan, all the games from the west can't go a single minute without mentioning sex. I mean i'm fine with dirty jokes but it just seems like they spew them a mile a minute, if they aren't just downright showing it. It just becomes grating after a while like listening to a broken record, so much so that without sex jokes or whatever, there is nothing else to substance of the game. Furthermore most of the language they use is fairly gruntish like calling girls "sluts" or "whores" (the primary offenders being phantasma or pussy saga). I'm fine with talking dirty sometimes, but there seems to be no modicum of respect contained in them, which turns me off completely. After all, all things are good in moderation, but I feel that the games I've seen developed by the west seem to be put way too much "sugar" in my tea.

Is it just me or does anybody else find this rather distasteful?

Good question! It might be due to translation or because the japanese seem to have a tendency of "keeping the gameplay and the lewds separate" In any case, i will agree that it feels like a hormonal teenager wrote most of the dialogue for games like the ones you mention because of a lack of respect towards story. And before anyone whines about "if you dont want porn in a porn game then go play a real game!" As op said, in moderation its good and can be quite sensual, but doing it like this is a mood breaker, all is good in the right amount.
Its a shame that dmm/nutaku opened up funds for the potential of western porn games and it feels like they had little to none to begin with. Might as well kept importing games from their site (AND LET SOMEONE ELSE TAKE CARE OF THEM *cough* goddamn sen pro).

I think it's simply too hard to create a meaningful H story...

So that means - just put random H words in > ??? > profit XD

Pretty much, story is the last thing in a western h-game creator´s mind anyway, if its in their mind at all.

well, for research purpose u can go take a look at exhentai or g-e hentai and search for west tag, and compare it to doujinshi or stuff from japanese. u will see for yourself the vast difference, and most of it goes according to what you've mentioned.

I remember games like The Witcher, Grand Theft Auto, God of War has sex sence. Despite they are not 100% porn or free to play game, they are one of the most successful video game contain sexual content that is made from the west.

Crystal Maidens is a great game with nice language, same with girls on tanks (if you dont mind eager girls :p )
Upcoming games shows promise too, i mean armor blitz, minitary girls and kingdom of lust.

I agree with OP. Some old westerner games we have are literally garbage.

Leisure suit Larry and Huniepop is a successful adult video game that is made in the west.

Huniepop does contain profanity. It might not be your thing. But according to steam review, it was overwhelmingly Positive (10,115 reviews)

Leisure suit Larry is a comedy adventure video game that contains sex and nudity. I watched some hilarious death on Youtube which is very funny and creative.

Personally as a huge fan of western cartoon and anime. Both west and japan are really good at making sexy character.

In the west, we have Jessica Rabbit, Betty Boop, Catwomen, Harley Quinn, Holli Would, Martian Queen(Looney Toons Duck Dodgers), Female characters from Overwatch and Dark Queen(Battle Toads).

In Japan we have Mai shiranui, Morrigan Aensland, Samus Aran, Female character from Senran Kagura, Dead Or Alive and Tekken.

All in all it really depends on creator. Whether they wanted to make sexual content for money, or build it with effort, care and passion.

Because 90% of them are godawful cash-grabs that aren't meant to last. Why bother with writing, just get your money and get out.

We can complain about how bad the western game in this thread whenever we want too. But unless every western porn developer came to this thread and say : "Hey! All your opinion is very important to us, we are going to more focus on story and writing in the future!"
Otherwise, it is very unlikely that every western porn is going to change the habit. So better solution is that consumer should focus on high quality and well receive western porn games, so that other western porn will follow their success behavior.

I dunno, some of the games I've seen on Nutaku are very obvious about the sex - Girls Kingdom and Phantasma come to mind. And I think at least some of the games that are more tame about it (outside the sex scenes themselves) actually have non-X-rated versions, so they're much less vulgar simply by virtue of not necessarily being H-games.

I think it really depends on which Western games you're comparing to which Eastern games, and there are definitely some vulger Eastern games out there...

I think its a culture difference. Other countries have embraced sexuality online and others are very very hyper sensitiveness Political correctness. I think this site makes better games they don't have to worry about offending others. Where our gaming culture has not fully embraced the sexuality in games as other countries that's why some of sexuality games aren't great and others are heavily censored.

I think there is quite the difference between just being open to sexuality and writing bad dialogue of 6 word sentences only made up of the words slut, bitch, cum, and many different words for fucking.
Fo example huniepop has quite provocative dialogue, not very much either, but it can convey most of the heroines character, whereas pussy saga often makes it hard differentiating between the girls, because they all nearly talk the same.
An eastern example for being extremely lewd, but with quality would be kamihime: they have many pretty extreme niche fetishes in there, they actually have really well written dialogue.
in the middle of sex scenes it also becomes pretty vulgar, but still often fits the setting, while the dialogue OP speaks about is usually completely out of place and sounds more like the people have tourette syndrome

as someone else already said, the time, place and amount of "vulgar" speech makes a big difference between it being erotic or making you eye roll.

I believe Pussy Saga, Fap Titans and Bitch Hunter are all created by the same Russian dev. They advertise on a lot of very mainstream Adult sites, so they need to be pretty vulgar and in your face in order to have decent retention with that type of wide audience.

They stick out a bit on Nutaku as a result, because the writing in most of the DMM games is pretty well done.
