This title has sex in it!!! It is explicit, porn level sex!!! This is a fucking PORN title!!! Don't be delusional, friend. F95Zone is a pirate site with the best collection of porn games on the web. We get EVERYTHING here. There is pretty much something for every taste included on this site.
DeLuca family has one of the best stories of any AVN out there. AVN stands for Adult Virtual Novel so, yes, this is an adult game. You can also say Adult Visual Novel, both are technically correct. There is sufficient graphic sexual content in this title that it would get not just an X rating but a XXX rating if it were a motion picture. (The MPAA has no actual XXX rating. That was started by the porn industry for films that were too hardcore to even receive an MPAA X rating.) So, it is also a porn game. This just so happens to be the most tasteful and elegant porn story I have ever read. It is also the slowest, most glacially paced sex plot EVER! But, that works here... oddly enough. The slow pace adds to the realism of the story and heightens the excitement of the sex scenes when they occur. Yet, as slow as the sex may be, there is still porn in here and the amount and frequency are constantly growing and building the further we go into the story.
It seems to me that you are the one who is confused... confusing the average, run of the mill fap fare as the only porn and a class act like DeLuca Family as an "Adult Game" and somehow not porn. Both are porn. This game happens to be of the highest quality available yet is no less porn than the fap fodder. It's like cars... the fap fare cheap thrills are like a rusted out old hooptie whereas a classy title like DeLuca Family is the Rolls Royce Phantom, inspiring envy in all she passes. Both are still cars...
Adventure ever on, Phat
Uh, no offense but you're incorrect in your assessment of this game and this site (f95zone) in general.
F95zone (a.k.a. the zone) has variety of games on the website; several are porn games yes, but there are also games that have no sex scenes at all like this game
here (it's an excellent game, despite having zero, zilch, nada sex scenes).
So basically, the zone is supposed to have variety of adult games, not just porn.
And as for the definition in general, adult game is a huge umbrella term; porn game is definitely an adult game (it's one of the subsets of adult games), but an adult game may not necessarily be in the porn game category.
Games I'd list in such category would be games like:
- The DeLuca Family (Hopes has said from the very beginning, that his intent for this game was to create an adult game experience for the players, and not a porn game)
- Summer's Gone
- Where it All Began
- Hillside
(there should be more, but those are the titles that I remember).
And just because a game has sex scene in it, I don't agree that it classifies it as porn game.
Seems like a very flawed logic to me.
I think
Cartageno explained it more succinctly than I did (I'll quote his post below):
This is not a porn game, nor was it ever intended as one. This has been made clear multiple times from the very beginning (not that it needs to be made clear to this forum, just to the patreons). From 2018:
(emphasis mine)
There are hundreds (literally) of posts by Hopes and others explaining this over and over again. If you cannot grasp the concept and are having false expectations, that is on you.
Also you are badly informed. While there are tons of porn games on this site, there are also quite a few with little porn (as this) or actually no porn at all whatsoever. Not every game (or comic strip or animation) is only about one thing. Just skip the ones you don't like but don't whine that the world doesn't turn around your preferences.
So in the end: no, they do not "rightly ask", they very much wrongly do so. They ask a question which has been answered hundreds of times, the question is based on a premise which has been refuted just as often.
To conclude, I also don't agree with your cars analogy, and think it should be applied this way;
Let's say for example we have a police officer with his police car and a farmer with a horse truck (don't ask me why I thought of these specific examples, they just came to my mind
).
You have 2 vehicles here, but with very distinct and different main purpose the drivers (devs) will use them as (literally night and day difference). And sure, you might argue "But criminals can still be transported with the horse truck" (lol) but that's not the intended purpose, at all.
Only common factor the two have would be that they are vehicles (i.e. games on the Patreon platform, and in this pirate Adult [umbrella term which includes porn and not-porn games] game websites like the zone).
And with non-porn Adult games, it is much clearer with devs' intent (as Gracie often says in this game, it's the only thing that matters in terms of classification heh).
