This is beginning to sicken me.

GTA had its hot coffee and Mass Effect had an alien lesbian make out scene.

The list goes on. some are just plain mistakes made by children while others are supposed to be 'art'.

I don’t mind playing games with some sort of 'sexual' thing in them like 007 but this is getting out of hand.

Most of this is unnecessary.

I’m not saying Mass Effect is the spawn of the devil or anything like that. I haven’t played it yet but would like to and would probably enjoy it but the alien make out scene was a fucking joke. It wasn’t even mature and just had no reason to be in a video game the way it was.

I know it was a rated M game and I don’t care if a kid plays a rated M game. But I don’t play games for a gay alien make out scene. I don’t care if there are skimpily dressed women in thongs cough cough* Soul Calibur IV, which I’m buying. I don’t care if there are sexual references. But an unnecessary scene like that shouldn’t be there. It just does not fit. It isn’t GTA where everything is sex, drugs, and violence.

Video games are becoming like movies these days that are filled with unnecessary sex scenes just to be cool and just to sell or make controversy.

I don’t care if there is a sex scene in a movie but the sex scene needs to be there because the story needs it.

Fuck, if I want sex I am going to go and get myself the real thing. I’m not going to play a game or watch a movie. Fuck that shit. Save those parts in games for the porn shops. let the perverts have them. I don’t want them.

I bet all the nerds are enjoying this immature bullshit being inserted in to video games. They can’t get the real thing so they settle for pixels.

A mature game doesn’t try to be like shitty movies these days. It tries to make sure its content fits within the game. You don’t see Mortal Kombat fatalities in a kiddy game now, do you? No, the fatalities stay with Mortal Kombat. Makes sense?

Well, it’s not really quite like that:

1) Sex in video games are usually optional, like in Mass Effect and San Andreas. The fact is that kids don’t have to go out, spend 60 bucks on a game, and build up fake relationships over the weeks to get 10 seconds of sideboob. It’s easier to just google up some porno, which provides even better stuff.

2) A PG 13 movie these days contains WAY worse sex scenes than any M game out there. Look at Titanic. There was FULL nudity with tits and everything! It was later givin a PG 13 rating and younger kids could see it. Then look at San Andreas. A little pixelated boobs and HOLY SHIT OMFG IT’S PORNO!!! Even Hilary Clinton got involved!

Look at Fox News and Mass Effect! 90% of what this woman said turned out to be false. She was later forced to confess after she shit all over Mass Effect all over the News. Hundreds of thousands of gamers left 1 star ratings on her book on Amazon, and the only thing recomended next to her book (Besides Uranium ore) was Mass Effect.
If anything, videogame sex is taken way to seriously, and this bullshit needs to stop!

Here’s the video. Fox news later appologised.

I actually thought titanic was crap and it should have been rated R.

I agree, Fox was stupid. They didn’t know what they’re talking about.

When I say it shouldn’t be there I’m not saying I’m not going to buy the game or it should be burnt or anything like that.

Hell, The Sims takes sex and makes it humorous. I don’t like the game but they did it right. The Sims showering with fuzzy bars covering them was funny.

What I am saying is video game developers just have no idea how to handle something like sex and shouldn’t deal with sex if they can’t handle it right. The same goes for film makers, etc.

GTA San Andreas that was a big fuck up. That was just porn and shouldn’t have been there.

A playable sex scene is just sickening. People should just go out and get the real thing.

Well it’s not as if Games are suddenly turning to sex, because sex has been in games since the Atari ages.


I do agree though, games aren’t really meant for sex because at least in movies there is at least a certian amount of drama and meaning to it where as with most games it’s just for the sake of fucking.

I remember seeing an interview with the original founders of Atari. They were talking about how they called themselves “Young and stupid” when they were developing the game back in the day.

Ha ha, the things hormones can do to some people XD!

Games have been garnering shock value for a long time. As famous as Mortal Kombat is, its really the biggest culprit. Its fighting sucks, always has, in comparison the infinitely more complex and deep Street Fighters and KoF’s. The violence was just there to garner attention, which it did. (I do enjoy MK though)

So, no, games have been this way forever. All media will be this way. At least in games, generally, you can ignore it. Your examples included only optional content meant for those willing to find it. Its called easter eggs, at least in Mass Effect’s case. With GTA it was just unintended.

Mortal Kombat was a great fighting game and there were multiple ways to kill an opponent.

You have never played Mass Effect.

It is not an Easter Egg. You get a freakin achievement for doing it. YOu build up a relationship and when your partner feels like he/she is about to die the two have some happy time.

Hot Coffee was the easter egg...

Mortal Kombat is a mediocre fighter with the allure of over the top violence and finishers to keep people distracted. Now they have DC characters. Wow. They whore that game so much because it lacks much depth. I don’t deny I have fun, but it doesn’t last long when the fighting is boring and as deep as a puddle. Give me Street Fighter any day.

Mortal Kombat is a perfect example of what you were complaining about. It started out with a VERY small amount of moves and only one Fatality per character, and has barely improved since.

Yes, sir, I have played it. And no, Hot Coffee WAS NOT and Easter Egg. It was a design idea dropped but stupidly not removed from the overall code. Someone managed to unlock it.

The skulls in Halo can be considered Easter Eggs, and you get achievements for those too, well, in Halo 3.

The sex is optional. You don’t have to do it. Its all a result of how you interact with the other characters and sort of a reward for a well-developed relationship. Granted, I never did reach far enough into the game to actually get to that, but I consider something like that to be an Easter Egg. Something that takes a bit of effort to get and you really don’t realize its coming, unless its a major part of the story and then I’d feel like an idiot, but I doubt it.

I admit after 3 it went down hill but it was quite a different fighter. It isn’t really the same as the sex thing I was commenting on.
