I'm sure most of you have heard something about the GTA:SA sex mod out there. The releaser of the mod is saying that the sex part was already on the disk. He just unlocked it. How many of you think that sex should be aloud in video games. I don't even think that they will have to use an AO rating. They could just make it M but on the front of the box say something like 'This game contains pornagraphic sences'. I think it should be ok for sex in games.
Uh, in 'M' rated games, sure. It's not going to be required to make a good game, but it sometimes makes the plot better. Just be careful what you let your children play.
It's true that, as human beings, we find anything with sex more interesting.
But if a game needs sex to be interesting, it probably wasn't very good to begin with.
I say no, because of one question: Why does there need to be sex in video games?
I say no. I remember a time where there wasnt any sex or nudity in games. Come to think of it, ps2, xbox, pc and gamecube are the first systems to have nudity and sex in games. Imports dont count.
Actually, have any of you heard of a game called "The guy game" It's like the show street smarts but in game form and if you do good enough you'll get to see the girls boobies! It didn't do well.
Not only that, it would attract a bunch of rapper jerkholes who would endorse their genitalia in smack-induced sex tapes that featured lowriders and random cartoon characters no one cares about anymore.
If you mean sex as in lets get down and dirty in bed then no, I think games don't need that at all. You see we buy games today for the gameplay and story line, not the "cool you can see your character do five chicks in one room at the same time with every detail." Sex, I think doesn't bring a game out at all, or make it that more interesting. The only value I see of people buying X games are because they just want to see chicks get layed and I would think this would go towards more of the nerdy group that can't get a date worth of ****. I don't need to see a pussy in a game to decide whether it's good or not. If anything, real sex contact in video games would be put in for the sole purpose of luring a large variety of people in, nothing more. Lets face it, we are all intrigued by sex. You can't go one day without hearing the word, it's everywhere. So the purpose of this is to get basically everyone, to buy it and watch sex take place in a game. You would have better luck downloading pron from the internet for free. It doesn't enhance game play, it enhances the exploitation of sex. Infact, games with just this subject to talk about probably isn't worth buying, it's just about the sex.
*shrug* it's in everything else.
It wouldn't surprise me if games following the footsteps of Fable and God of War keep pushing sex to accomplish a more 'realistic' gaming experience, so I see sex in video games as inevitable. Now I'm not one to buy a game for its sexual content, but if it's part of the game itself and I view the game as a whole to be worthwhile, then I'd most certainly play it. As Iris said, as long as it's rated "M" and kept out of the hands of children.
If it's tastefully done (i.e. not the way it's done in san andreas), I don't see any reason why it should be any different for video games than it is with movies or TV. Fable contains good examples of how I, personally, think it should be represented in video games. Of course, it also contains examples of how it should never, ever be done. Ah well.
[COLOR=darkred][FONT=Papyrus]Having Suggestive scenes, like the one from Prince of Persia TSOT, Fine.
Pornographic full on Sex scenes...? NO. If this happens, they would sell so well that more developers would make them, swarming the market with content many people would rather swap for a good game.[/FONT][/COLOR]
~S.Aborina~
Yes. If the game is rated right then it should be aloud to be in a video game.
Depends.
Good sex in games: Developer makes RPG. RPG has deep, complex plot. Two characters having sex would move plot along. Developer adds in not pornographic sex scene.
Bad sex in games: Developer wants money. Developer adds hot, steamy porn. Game sells like hotcakes.
I have no real problem with it, as long as it stays within M and AO rated games.
Ditto. It doesn't bother me.
I honestly think sex should be left out of video games and left for real life. As long as it's in "M" rated games and it's not in every game it's alright.
hmmmmmmmmmm........well.......it depends....i have no doubt by the time ps3 roles around u could have pretty realistic sex sequences which could add or take from d game depending on what type of game it is.actually i cant see how it would add OR take from d experience other than d fact that i would have to tell my little sis to shut her eyes when the scene comes so whatever.......However it would DEFENITALLY BE EXPLOITED to attract a wider audience of a teenage years. Sounds redicilous but there are desperate and slightly perverted people out there who would buy a game for sex content ALONE!
There IS a sex minigame in GTA: San Andreas. I remember reading about it not long ago. It has something to do with getting one of your girlfriends to invite you in for "coffee" and then, well, you know the rest. ;-)
There's a hack out for the PC version to enable it. I believe it's called "Hot Coffee". As for the PS2 version, I've been told it can be accessed with a Gameshark. And no, I don't have the codes to do it or know where they can be found.
Yes, we all know that by now I'm sure.
I think sex should be in games. I mean, it's a free ****ry, right? If it can be in movies, and books, it should be in video games. Besides, no one can do anything about it... All you get is some free publicity from the CNN news, and parent groups.
Unnecessary.
Definately. Imagine a sex based game on the DS using the stylus to touch private parts and create orgasms.
Yeah hi.
Consoles can play games and dvds. Sex on dvds are already out there. Sex on games can help those who don't know sex I guess, or can give fun to those who are secret perverts.
Why shouldn't it? There shouldn't be restrictions, but obviously it wouldnt have to be in games.
Yes and no,it depends in what kind of games,and how it's done,for example,IMO,I wouldn't like it in RPG's at all,I would accept jokes about it,but actual sex scenes in them,no,no matter how they are done,I just don't like it.
Now,games like GTA and such it's acceptable to me,still I don't like sex done like a porn movie either,like mindless sex,it has to to have to do with the plot and such,but not exactly showing the people getting it on,just making the gamer understand what happened.Yeah,yeah,sex it's a perfectly natural thing,but it's sad how it's all over the place,sex sells alright,but it ain't getting a penny from me.Buying a game solely cos it has sex or nudity in it,it's sad,it's prolly not a good game at all.
I'd prefer it hinted like you get in films rather than orgies and orgies of polygon cocks and tits. I'd feel pretty awkward watching badly created charactewrs doing it.
I'd feel awkward watching any characters doing the deed, not just the nasty-looking ones.
I don't think sex should be ALLOWED (give me a phucking break you b******! I Just woke up!!!) in games. I think it's really sad when someone has to get off by playing a video game. There aren't parental locks on games either. Anyone's child could go up, grab the game, pop it in the playstation, and watch porn in a game. I wouldn't want that for my child. Jesus... Didn't have to phucking flame me for a typo. I'm sure you even make them every once in a while A**. Don't you have anything better to do, than look for people's spelling errors?! Just because I'm a noob, doesn't give you the right to pick on me.
But that's not true. If I can find my brother's, my s-mom's, and my father's porn stash, by accident, not even looking for it, and not wanting to see it, then I'm sure someone's curious child could easily find it and pop it in. Even if it's not sold to kids underage, they will still get their hands on it. Parents don't have a choice of whether or not they want their children to see it or not.
PS I don't have a child, I'm just speaking out for parents, and my concerns for the future.
If it were to be in videogames, it should be used very little, or not at all. For the most part, I don't want it in videogames; pornography just has to take over everything?
The topic of sex doesn't revolve solely on pornography, you dolts.
I guess you are right,parents should do their jobs as such,thing that sadly,very often fails...
It's easier to get porn than it is to get M-rated games at professional retail stores. I don't think pornography is the real issue.
if i can decapitate a guy's head with a sawed off shotgun i don't understand why i can't also have sex in a game, i am more concerned about the proper ratings and enforcing the ratings, also for rpg i think some storylines are weird for excluding sex, just my 2 cents
Sex could be used in games. Just a scene or two in it though. I don't want games that all you do is make a character and go around f*cking everything that walks.
Guess you won't be picking up Rockstar's next title, Sex Offender, then.
I honestly don't think sex belongs in a video game. Too much room for trouble. Kids can get ahold of video games that really shouldn't be experiencing that type of material. Parents aren't always aware of what the kids are playing, or what is on the game.
Sex has been in videogames since Atari, and man, those scenes were great! Like, jizz here and there, ****ing awesome.
Nothing makes me hotter than pixels. I say bringon the interactive porn.
Kidding, of course. i really dont see any situation in which there would be a NEED for sex, but if it is storyline related, I dont see why it should be avoided.
I like the game "Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude", so yeah, there should be sex in some video games. Especially if it's accompanied with humor.
Always aloud, silent sex sucks. But none of that fake pornstar moaning, I mean that build up of loud breathing to moaning to talking to screaming to crying. That's the good stuff.
Some games perhaps.
I don't think i'd like porn in say:
a Zelda game, LOL :D !
Well i dont care either way im not into the Sim dating stuff but, if it makes a game funnier like it did in God of War than yes as long as the tell you that it is going to be on there and not do what RockStar did and try to hide it.
yeah but you see RS knew that there are hackers out there so it should never have been made if they wanted to keep their M rating
I'm going to say yes because sex is everywhere so why even care anymore. We've all had encounters with sex either watching, hearing, doing, or even just imagining. Its natural to this world and some games are based on reality so sex is reality. I think they do take it far alot of times (ex: Playboy, Larry games, and GTA: SA). I mean like if sex happens don't show the whole thing like that's Mature. But if sex happens between two characters let's say Mario and Peach hypothetically. Mario and Peach are making out he pulls down her shirt a little and scene a little and then cut back to the game after a black picture happens and its the aftermath. Hard to explain but let them be. If they want sex let them just make sure if you got children don't let them see it or have it. Simple as that.
GTA: SA is taking it too far because it full straight up there in your face sex, buy it because there is sex in it. That's why. I mean the game was good. Now basically anyone who wanted the game has it. Now the people who don't have and see it and say hey sex is in it let's get it. That's when its too far. Games are meant to be played with not viewed to play with yourself. Couples yes do have sex but like I said it's a game certain sex themes isn't right. I tried to explain best I could my point of sex in games. Not full-blown but half way. If you understand you know?
Use commas. Seriously.
Not full open let's **** here and there scenes. Of course it going to have sexual relations like the prostitute. Now see that's what I mean people bought it for it was good not because of the sex theme. I mean I'm trying to say it's good for some games as a part of the plot. Not full open you can see him sexing her.
lol I know trust me I know. Never been a good arguer. But here's what I mean people who bought it bought it because it was a good game. Now people who a buying it might be buying it because of the sexual mini game in it. Who knows the world is sick so hey it is very likely.
Guh...
Obviously SOME people are buying it because of the mini-game. That may only be one person though.
But you make it seem like it's everyone.
Well sorry for making seem that way but there is most likely more than one person. It’s just the way of the world. Which now I think were off subject and my arguments are getting weaker as you can see so I'll stop.
Of course sex should play a large part in a video game. That's what makes it fun.
Um, what? You can't have sex without videogames? You only play videogames with sex in them? Wtf?
Well, that was sarcasm. Obviously I play and enjoy games that don't display anything sex related. If sex made up a large portion of a game, chances are, the game isn't worth playing.
I assumed you were serious because it wasn't funny. LIKE YOUR SIGNATURE WITH A QUOTE FROM FRIENDS IN IT. FRIENDS. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LOW THAT IS?
It's too bad you can't see the humour in it, because it's a fantastic show. But then again, you have a twisted sense of humour.
i would buy the game just because its a good game
first of all the sex mini game is not that great
and u need action replay just to get it
if u want a real sex mini game play god of war
I don't really care. Most games I play wouldn't have sex in them anyway.
[quote=Angelwing]It's too bad you can't see the humour in it, because it's a fantastic show. But then again, you have a twisted sense of humour.
Oh please, Friends is the worst show ever. Friends is to TV as Britney Spears is to music.
Twisted sense of humour? No, honey, that's British sense of humour, as in very subtle and witty and not screamingly f[COLOR=lightgreen]u[/COLOR]cking obvious.
I say yes. For a lot of gamers it's probably the closest they'll get to the real thing. J/k.
If its rated MA, sure.
DDP as in Diamond Dallas Page or thats your initials? Because that kind of scares me.. Those are my initials..
I think it should be allowed in video games. Movies can have sex scenes so why not video games. The games now follow such a thick plot that it should be allowed to enhance the visuals of gameplay.
Boobies are the new HD
Why not, as long as its not a crappy game.
hmm only to helps games plot sometime and should not show a lot of bad content
yeah as long as it has no bad content, sex in video games is fine!!!
To me I don't really care!Games are still good with or with out sex as long as it is not bad content.But if it gay sex then I think it should not be in games for sure!
Precisely!
That's a gay way to think.
Everyone knows homosexuality is evil.
Man you guys are a bunch of faggots. I love you all dearly.
"Should sex be aloud in video games?"
No, it should be silent.
Sex should not be a part of video games (imagine having to control your character during a scene). But then again, sex is in books and movies, and children get them too.
Sex can only enter video games if their parents become more involved in their consumption of them.
That said, as society is going now, your children will think of video games with sex as normal.
Edit: (how can you discuss whether or not sex should be allowed in video games based on its intent rather than its consequences???)
I just voted. How can "no" be losing? We have a lot of perverts who want moans of pleasure with their video game sex...
Well it depends on the story, type of game and if it fits the current sistuation in the story. So my is answer is a yes/no depends.
Your second sentence contradicts the first one.
Well in my point of view, I think Sex in video games should be limited, to possibly a scene and not a playable part of the game. But I think its no different then R rated films, but I can see that if your able to play the game wile sex is going on, then I can see an Adult Rating coming in.
Yes. Sex is in books, magazines, television, art, and movies. Why would it not be in video games?
Sex can be used wisely in video games. Someone earlier mentioned two characters having sex in an RPG as part of the plot. That's smart.
Sometimes developers might throw it in there for the hell of it, but hey, some people like that.
As long as the games are rated properly, then it's fine.
sex should forever and always be in video games...with the proper rating of course. Its an unavoidable part of life, its only going to make the game unplayalbe by anyone under 17...so it should be at the developers discretion how sexual the game can be.
FYI...i was voter number 69, thought it fits quite nicely with the topic.
