The GTA sex scene thing is stupid, imho. To acces it, you need a patch for PC or a cheating device for PS, so it's not accesible though normal gameplay. It's like complaining about nude plugins for Morrowind.

if it is not a video game that is sold in stores than no it is not meant to be for kids
They sell hentai in stores. They sell hentai games in stores. They sell porno in stores. Video games are for all ages, and they are CLEARLY marked when they're made for adults.
GTA games are full of violence and sexual innuendo. Even without secret sex scenes they are NOT for kids, and I'll say it straight out; anyone who thinks GTA games are for children is an idiot. I'm sorry, but sex scenes or not, any game that revolves around such violence and lawlessness is not for kids.
This is seriously the most ignorant thing I have ever read at any video game message board. What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you even a member of ANY video game related message board if you truly believe that? Yes, porno action shouldn't be in a kids game. I'd agree with you in this case...IF GRAND THEFT ****ING AUTO WAS MEANT FOR KIDS.Originally Posted by darkchrono
GTA and other Mature rated games are meant for people 17+. Yes, they shouldn't have left the hot coffee crap in there, but the point is, you claim that video games are just for kids. If video games were truly developed for children, then there would be no "M" rated games since THEY WOULDN'T EXIST IF THAT WERE THE CASE. Here you are at a Final Fantasy message board. All of the later FF games are rated Teen, which is for people 13 or older. Once agian NOT A CHILD'S AGE.
I'm going to assume for a second that you are a teen or a young adult, since your one of those people who is afraid to put their full birthday in their profile for some reason. I ask you this: Why are you posting here to begin with if you believe that video games are meant for children? Do you think before you type? I almost think you said what you said on purpose to get a rise out of people. However, you seem to be trying (and failing) at backing up your claim. So I guess you are serious.

In VC, it already had a Sex Scene.........
Parents always need a scapegoat to blame.
God forbid they ever take responsibility for their own children!

Ditto and :<3:
Uhm, the average age of a video game player in the US is 26 years old... right, games are meant for kids...

there is a simple equation in games.
more controversy = more sales.
tis simple. the clever thing about this game is that i wasn't initially controversial. they knew it was going to sell like hot cakes anyway. but having controversy a few months after the release keeeps it selling. a very clever move.
and so what? sex is sex. it's been around for millions of years. it's been on tv for tens of years. we've all seen it or done it. it's not the last taboo. at one point it needed to be done. it was there so someone had to do it. and lets not make a mistake ta wasn't the first game to do it. just alot of people seem to hate rockstar. so it's a lovely bandwagon to jump on. is there a great difference between game and film now?
they pretty much lost the controversy that violence in video games makes violent kids, because kids today are actually less violent than they use to be. Go ahead and search for the data yourself, but it's true. So they lost on violence in games corrupting kids, so what do you think they're going to move onto, sex in game corrupting kids.

Thought I should throw some interesting potins in here:
The average age of the video gamer is 29. (Although who you ask will get you different answers. Most developers i know say 29... here is a url for proof that http://biz.gamedaily.com/features.as...&filter=myturn ) I could look up the statistics, but this is an industry standard beleif.
Also this issue was hit back in 1982(The same year as I was) with the release of Custer's Revenge for the atari. yes, thats right - polygonal sex at its finest. The object of the game was to go through your normal sidescrolling level dodgin arrows (your avatar was a cowboy with a huge... eh..bone ) when you got to the end you would exact your revenge on a naked indian girl (bada wikka wikka whannanna). Graphic - yes. The video game industry took a small hit, but children everywhere will mostly safe.
There is also a game called singles out there where you play it like the sims, build up two chars relationships, then you can make them (insert better porno music here). Thats right.
The confusion on my part is the need for a 3rd party download. With that right - the sims should be AO as well as tomb raider (insert any game with females in it) as they all have (prolly have) downloads to mod them. The third party download doesn't add anything (from what i have been told). The fact that the content comes on the game was what stuck the fork in GTA:SA. It was locked away and hot coffee merely unlocks it. That is what my letter from gamesutra had said.
here is the best article i have ever seen on this subject : http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse....ticket_to_hell

I find it amusing that they're throwing this at GTA just cause it's GTA. God of War does have top-nude women in it and noone seems to be complaining about that.
...
I once saw a nude woman when I was 17. I was scarred for life.
But it says so on the back on God of War.
There is no nudity in GTA: kinda.
It is on the disc, but it needs to be unlocked... this is kinda confusing how you would hanle this situation.
I personally think that if information like this is stored on the medium that the customer buys, it should be labeled as AO. However you rate the game not the content right?
Damn it all... why does sex have to be so complicated
