Are they really startifng to put sex scenes in video games

[Cloud No.9]

it wasn't relevant or offensive. it was crude.

[Leeza]

cloud, I think you might want to quit while you're ahead.

[Shlup]

That's your opinion. But Leeza asked us to get back on topic and I like her so I'm trying to do so, so I'm dropping it.

[Cloud No.9]

as you wish leeza.

The only hot and spicy thing that should be discussed at this forum is kishi's salsa.

As long as the games carry a label that warns of the sexiness, I don't see a problem with it. The generic 'M' doesn't do it for me, though.

[Shlup]

I thought I was talking about Kishi's salsa.

Sorry, couldn't pass that one up.

Hey, look, the topic! I agree with most people: they have ratings for a reason. I think GTA should've been AO in the first place though. I mean, c'mon, this little "scene" they found does not make the game any worse than it was already.

[bipper]

I agree they should put a rating B for bad...
or TS for teh sex.

I should apply for a job at the ESRB.

Custers revenge It still gets me when I hear that name...
You get to the end your like dancing cause you won... then you look at the screen; and realize.. morally- you just lost..

You could climb the corperate ladder and make an PWTFIWWY rating.

Parents, what the is wrong with you?

[Erdrick Holmes]

If people are dumb enough to buy a game because it has boobies in it they're smurfing morons.

[TheAbominatrix]

... Did you read any of the discussion?

We're talking about whether it's appropriate to have it in games and whether or not it's becoming increasingly common, not about people buying it because there are sexual things.

[Del Murder]

Even though his post was borderline on the topic, there was no real reason for you to correct him. Hard to tell what this thread is about with all the garbage in it. This one is teetering on the edge.

The topic is sex in video games. Please post your opinions on it and nothing else. All other posts will be deleted and you will be put in the 'no gen gaming for me' user group.

lindy.

the first rule of pr is. controversy breeds publicity. publicity = sales.

the fact that we are talking about a game purely because of it's adult content increases the amount of times people hear about it. and that's all good for sales.

and people will always buy something to see what all the fuss is about.

Lovely as that is, doesn't make your point right.

Internet forum discussion != Publicity

Just because people TALK about it, doesn't mean they'll BUY it.

Controversy breeds notoriety, notoriety breeds curiosity, and that, my friends, is how the cat gets killed. In other words, yes, controversy does generate sales. Look at games like Night Trap and Mortal Kombat. For that matter, look at what controversy did for GTA3.

Yes, it had absolutley nothing to do with the last two games being total failures compared to this.

[MecaKane]

The only reason the "hot coffee" was in San Andreas was lazyness, or slack-ass work, that left the extra code in. If they really wanted the controversy they'd make an in-game cheat activate it and, I don't know, NOT deny it and say hackers did it untill it was proven to be in the PS2 version.

What? Use some nouns, please.
