why would anyone want to watch an ugly little cartoon guy being horny? what was the appeal supposed to be?
>>12787483Same reason why weeb games have loser incel MCs.
He became more Woody Allenesque in the later ones, he kinda looks like Ben Gazzara in the first 3
>>12787483>what was the appeal supposed to be?boomers, in the literal sensecan't be anything else
>>12787483>>12787496Uhh it's so you can relate to the character
>>12787483This was before internet porn. Stuff like this seemed more interesting when you had to watch late night tv or borrow one of your dad's dirty magazines just to see a nipple.
At first I wanted to joke about Ad Lowe being a conservative christian with some 15 grandchildren but then I remembered that was Sandy Petersen.
>>12787483Boomers
>>12787483The appeal was supposed to be comedy with some fanservice. But even as a teen when a lot of these were released they seemed hopelessly lame. Have some self-respect gamers.
>>12787483They really screwed up his appearance when they went full cartoon style. Lost all the charm of the earlier games in my opinion.
>>12787483Didn't the LSL games have more women players than average for computer games?
>>12787530It's no worse than Japanese Hentai games. I don't understand the appeal of those at all
>>12787483it's embrassing this shitty franchise is still the most ''mainstream'' WEG games ever got weird how westoids dominate porn but they can't do the same with porn vidya
>>12787483because it's funny
Western boomers couldn't take porn seriously for whatever reason and always had to treat it like a joke. Just compare the plot and voice acting of the average 90's hentai OVA to the attempted slop of any western made porn media, even today.
Its just a shitty western version of Hentai games
>>12787483Sex farce comedy series written by boomers, for boomers
>>12787651That's a retarded view of it considering the game was never intended for anyone to jerk off to, unlike hentai games. It was a series poking fun at the absurdity of a short little balding guy who thought he was a playboy, going around trying to get laid.
>>12787530>But even as a teen when a lot of these were released they seemed hopelessly lame. Have some self-respect gamers.yeah, not to mention all the poorly aged comedy like sexism, gay jokes, and transphobia. oof
>>12787657Still pretty funny actually.

Is it safe to say LSL opened up the "lewd" aspect of games that domino'd to all those hentai games on steam? And along that domino, is it further safe to say that LSL is the reason my mom knew I only wanted DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball because I was gonna jerk off to it?
>>12787483Best adventure game of all time , imo.To your question , It's a sex comedy. Zoomers can't vibe with those.
>>12787670to be fair that's the only legitimate reason to buy DoAXBV
>>12787663>3.5" circumcision requiredlel
>>12787483>ugly>little>hornyBecause self insert. This was before normgroids ruined gaming.
Whats your ranking of the games? Mine is 6 > 7 > 2 > 3 > 1 > 5
>>12787670Japs have been doing this shit before Larry. Look up Koei's early history.
>>12787663>Finally, the game also shows some real callousness towards homelessness, a continuing crisis in the USA. For a, to me, incomprehensible reason, too many U.S. Americans often mock those lacking shelter by calling them hobo or other derogatory terms and ridicule their financial state. Instead of humans, the unfortunate are often more portrayed as semi-objects and Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of Lounge Lizards shows that this trend has been around for a while. There are two homeless men in the game who spawn randomly in front of the casino and convenience store. They give Larry key items to progress, but are then never talked about and the way they talk is supposed to come across as funny. There’s more, though I reserve that for the following review.
>kids don’t understand that porn was something you had to purchase irl from someone so the implication of a woman used to titillate a little bit more.
>>127878686 and 7 are the best, depending on which style you like better. I haven't played the rest.
>>12787663See, the problem here isn't cultural insensitivity or whatever, it's that there's a whole lot of text for just one joke that isn't awful
>>12788078>whole lot of textmany word hurt brain
>>12787496They never do though. Weeb games have generic blank slate protagonists or chads
>>12788082>jokes work better when surrounded in a vast sea of garbage
>>12787483its a comedy with some titties, anon... what's so hard to understand?
>>12787570Have you seen the state of adult cartoons? Yeah, same problem
>>12788092who are you quoting
>>12787483>why would anyone want to watch an ugly little cartoon guy being horny?the horny midget is an universal trope
>>12788301I would enjoy a Happosai game where you just go around groping girls, stealing underwear and being a massive pervert. It would honestly be a huge hit but no one has the guts to make it
>>12787483Larry on ps2 except it's actually his nephew
>>12788532I have the PC version, which is the best version. But if I had to pick a console version, it's the Xbox version. The PS2 version is too censored.
>>12788548what about the pal version?
>>12787483Larry being an undesirable man just adds up to the humour factor.
I didn't expect so many people to hate these games. They're fun, interactive sex comedies with a cheeky sense of humor and a few sexy scenes. Why so much hate? Did you expect to play an actual porn game?
>>12788558I never played the PAL version, but I guess it's less censored since it's outside of the U.S., but PC is the definitive version to get.
>>12788672They never managed to clear the age check questionnaire.
>>12787496Stay angry and delusional about men you fag whore retard
>>12788728Nah he's got a point I can't relate to tall buff guy but a short fella who's balding? That's actually very relatable to me and even if a lot of the jokes are corny it's still nice to have a game franchise where us balding manlets get to shine. and no a fully bald character doesn't count
>>127874832 million can't be wrong
