Are they really startifng to put sex scenes in video games

[darkchrono]

I think they have a problem with it because video games are for the most part intended to be for kids. Adults can play them but for the most part they are made for teenagers on down. While movies that depict sex or graphic sex are for the most part made for adults.

I am sure if they started showing sex on television shows intended for youngsters you would hear quite an uproar also.

Anyway, just one final comment on that scene. I would think if they were going to make a scene like that they would want to make it with graphics that were not 10 years old. Not sure if it was just the video I was watching it on. But the graphics I saw looked ancient.

I'd like to know which PG-13 movies you've been watching. The positions are very graphic, and while I, personally, am not bothered, I can see where the problems arise. Though I'd have a far FAR bigger problem with the violence, if I were a parent.

edit: Those sorts of scenes in a PG-13 film would most likely be in the dark, and would not show any sort of positions like that. There are sex scenes in PG-13 films, but positions like that would earn a film an R rating.

and even an 'R' rated film would not get that descriptive either. An 'R' rated film would more or less just show two nude people on a bed supposedly having sex but without showing any kind of descriptive acts. In order to get as descriptive as what was scene in that video you have to watch a soft core porno

Well, I don't see where problems arise. The game was rated M for mature audiences

MATURE

Titles rated M (Mature) have content that may be suitable for persons ages 17 and older. Titles in this category may contain intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content, and/or strong language.

Considering the fact that both characters in the controversial scene are fully clothed and there is not a shred of nudity, I fail to see how this is not suitable for someone who is 17 years old. Also, considering that these are 3D game models, I don't see how this is any worse than a kid imitating Ken doggy-styling Barbie.

I don't even like Grand Theft Auto, I never have. Though, I think this whole thing is completely ridiculous. Hot Coffee doesn't make Grand Theft Auto exceed the Mature ESRB rating, people that hate video games make Grand Theft Auto exceed the Mature ESRB rating.

The video I saw the guy had clothes on but the girl was naked. Is that not the same one that was in the game.

Anyway, showing oral sex in a video game (not sure if it is ok or not for me to actually say what was going on in the video. If not just bleep out those words) no matter if the characters are clothed or not is going to far.

[Necronopticous]

They're both clothed, if the girl was naked you saw a version of the game that was hacked by a third party to put a different texture map on her.

[TheAbominatrix]

I definitly agree that the whole thing is ridiculous, though I also think it's stupid to put it in the game at all. But I do see why people would have a problem with it, especially given that Rockstar didnt let the ESRB know about it in the first place.

[Necronopticous]

Well, lying about it was just a dumb f***ing thing to do. No argument there.

I'd like to know what the huge difference between a 17 year old (Mature = 17+) and an 18 year old (Adults Only = 18+) is.

Second of all I'd like to know why parents would be buying their children M rated games and then complain about it.

Third I'd like to know why these people are going bananas over a polygonal unrealistic sex minigame in a videogame that it's not even readily availible in but you have to get on the internet and download an illegal patch to gain access.

Fouth I'd like to know why someone would worry about this but not use their common sense to realize that if kids are getting on the internet to download an illegal patch for a game they've already seen far worse things.

Finally I'd like to know why Martha Stewart still has a career.

1. The difference between 17 and 18 is highschool and college.

2. Most parents are probably not aware of the sex scene in the game. And probably only about 5% of parents are actually complaining about this kind of stuff anyway.

3. Video games are made for kids. And you should not put porno action in a kids game.

4. Even if the kids have scene worse you should still not intentionally put porno action in something they will play.

[TheAbominatrix]

These arent kids games. GTA has never been a kid's game.

Just because something is digital or animated does not make it for kids. This is something the Western world needs to become aware of. They have had TONS of porno games, and I mean straight porn and nothing but. There's an entire industry of sex games.

The industry has complied to keep kids safe. If kids are still getting their hands on this material it's the fault of the parents.

Well, lying about it was just a dumb f***ing thing to do. No argument there.

Amen.

As for sexual content in video games rising... *glares at Tifa, Garnet, Yuna, Rikku, Lulu, and Paine*

I'm done here.

I can't even express how annoyed and offended I am by your awful uninformed post. This thread, and issue, is beyond rationality.

[Rengori]

Okay, maybe just the last 4. Yuna being X-2 version.

I bet hentai is also automatically for kids to because it's animated, right?
