Are they really startifng to put sex scenes in video games

[MecaKane]

The difference between M and AO isn't the one year of age, it's about the message it's (trying to) send. It's like R and NC-17. If you're a young teenager with meddling parents, maybe if you're lucky your parents will look into an R rated movie you want to see, and let you see it. That's probably not going to happen with an NC-17 movie. It sends a stronger message about the bad content, which is what would happen with AO if more parents understood the ratings. Which they should.

Well, at least - Adult only may be considered 21 by some states as they set for pornogrophy laws, etc. That is what i think they are for. Even if not, the leagality of content is the only line between 17 and 18. In that I think they added the rating for versatility.

Yup, I very much agree with ya MecaKane. Also if you look at the leagal aspect of it: If for some reason the Federal regulated age changes (it IS 21 in some states), or if the ESRB goes international (the Assumed age of adult in some places are 21) It is leagaly set up to represent these Adult Oriented games better.

I guess that answer lies with in the ESRB. I am fine with having seperate M and AO rating. Some mature kids might beable to handle a mature game at a slightly younger age. whilst you wouldnt want em to get into certain themes at this point.

I believe theres always been something called a M rated game and or a title called Adult...therefore they should not be purchased if your a younging....therefore those who are responsible parents should not let thier children get ahold of those kind of things...

Another thing is that grand theft auto is named that for something....it describes mostly what the game is about. It is notoriously known throughout the world for being a very MATURE GAME....

and those who buy games like that and don't expect something sexual don't understand anything... They are trying to make games more explicit in my opinion. They are trying to see how far is too far, what will happen to the game if it includes more nudity or sexual interpretation. How well will it sell? Like on TV it's all about ratings.

I just don't think it's a big deal. So what if some kid wants to see a sex scene on a game when their parents aren't around? It's not like they can't rent or buy "Basic Instinct" or "Showgirls". And when I was a kid I had several copies of Hustler and Playboy hidden in my closet. All this is nothing new under the sun.

Stan:I guess parents dont care about violence that much if theres sex involved.

[Swordicanus]

Sex is just a part of the more adult and realistic revolution games are in personally I don't feel it's bad thing ....a while ago ppl would be shocked to hear Ba***** in a game now we've become used to it as we will sex.....If it comes to it think about is there any better way to express ones love for another to share their passion I feel it will enforce the relationships between characters in games E.g Tidus kissing Yuna made you care more about them eventually having to seperate so It my not be all bad as long as it used in the right context to improve and immerse the player more and therefore get them invlolved more with the characters

Don't double post-kikimm

[bipper]

Sides the fact that stressing sexual immorality us so taboo while blowing up and killing others is accepted by some of the same? no. In fact I find it almost as evil to feel that way as double posting

I have had plenty of views, all left in the tread. I won't play games that have blantent sex in them. Nudity as a symbolic, or litterate device is ok in my eyes. As long as your being right with it.

The end.

morrowind has nuddity with the better bodies mod, kinda sad really, but hardly worth making it a massive topic to bring up in some kinda court...

[Lionx]

Psh sex is not anything immoral to me, i say bring it on, more open the better i feel. People are too stingy about this stuff. As long as its rated A.

[Giga Guess]

Realistically, I'm seeing that the only way to get the sex/nudity scenes is by modifying the games. So I hardly understand how that can be an issue.

[bipper]

There are tons of actual erotic games out there. I listed a few back in earlier posts. They can make em all like I said, but I won't buy em.

A recent one from what I have heard is a game called Singles. Its like the sims, but you get your characters to love each other and then you have the option to watch them have sex. It just seems ...weird lol.

Fair enough...and yeah, I agree.

[superchick]

has anyone actually seen that scene in San Andreas. Is it really all that bad or are they exagerating it like they did the Sims scenes.

I saw some of it ages ago but I couldn't go through with it because it was just to embarrassing I nearly wet myself laughing and it really put me off the game. Anyways the guy gets a blowjob then they go on the bed and you control what he does to her it's really quite graphic

xD I love you...

yeah but some people who are religious don't like it being used by their children.....or the world....

Internet adult thingies, is based on honor system, they believe that it's just toop easy to access pornography and whatnot.

[Giga Guess]

Thusly it's up to THEm to watch what their children access....I fail to see why the many should suffer because the wingnuts decide that the government should raise their children. I mean, why do we HAVE to live in a Disney state?!
