Couldn't agree moreThe story and settings are more important than the porn scenes imo. This doesn't mean that the game needs less sex don't get me wrong.
Imagine the same game, same characters, but instead of a Desert Stalker Zaton is a father banging his family and relatives in a modern setting
VNs are more about the story and background than the raw porn. Because real porn will always be superior visually.
Many devs don't understand this or are incapable of creating interesting worlds beyond; you are Chad Thundercock and your mother is addicted to your cock.
The world-building and engrossing narrative of Desert Stalker is what makes the game a profoundly compelling experience for me.
The sex and adult content is always welcome of course. But as you said, if the game took place in a more modern setting, it would become quite stale over time due to the repetitive themes.
Some VNs are a big hit due to the raw story/narrative and character development which makes for a more standout experience as opposed to just merely hyperfocusing on the adult themes alone.
Escapism due to story elements in VN matter just as much as the porn itself at times. After all, isn't that why we all play AVNs from time to time? To escape the mundanity of real life and express our fantasies in a shared platform with others who feel the same way in a sense. Just my $0.02
