Hey Everybody, It's the God of War III Sex Scene! *NSFW*

[WestMountain]

BOOWBIEEEESSS!!!!!

I wonder what would happen if you failed the QTE, would she be disappointed in you?

 

[chiefohara]

Am I the only one who thought this was more funny than sexy?

Nope, i thought it was hilarious... for all the wrong reasons.

 

[Insert Comedy Here]

It's not saying much to Kratos' sexual ability, when said ability has to be a quick time event.

 

[Zacharine]

do you realize there is more porn on the internet then any thing else.

Correct. Most of it better than this video.

this is just devs knowing this and using it whats wrong with that.

They are using sex and sexuality to market a game that isn't about sex or sexuality. They are giving the boot to an even larger part of Greek mythology to do it (more than they already are, that is) and the scene does not add to the gameplay, story, overall polish or the end value to those gamers who happen not to be 'in need of it'. ANd creating this scene cost time and money, which could have been used to improve one of the aforementioned aspects of the game.

The reason I'm griping about this is that it leads to a worse product than what it would have been without it and no one seems to give a damn because they are distracted by Teh Jubblies.

How do you know this will lead to a worse product? Have you played it all? They wouldn't have the entire damn team work on this. You're making it sound like all other production halted for weeks while they perfected this scene.

Of course not I haven't played it. But when operating within limited constraints, using the resources you are given for anything but the core product, the core product automatically fails to achieve it's full potential.

Because the scene was created, this represents time and money within the development budget and timetable that was not used to improve God Of War III - when I have zero wish to see a second rate sex scene in a game about violent blooshedding and carving up your enemies, to me as an end user those resources were wasted. It would have been better if the persons who did this scene had used the time and money to go on a vacation instead: no work that matters still would have gotten done, but at least they might have been more relaxed and productive the following few days.

It's like were about to be delivered a console and have just been told that the console comes in a pink quadruple-layered package with gold-gilitter on the surface and LED-lights on the carrying handle of the package. Everyone is going 'This has been done before, why are you complaining' or 'Gold glitter and unnecessary shiny bits! Shut up your whining' when I'm saying that 'People, this all represents money that didn't go into making the product itself! Because you got the pink wrapping and gold glitter, the console is not as good as it could have been!' and several people are bashing me for this and calling me whiny.

I sometimes seriously fail to understand the general UHHH SHINY! syndrome my fellow gamers seem to have: to accept an inferior product or a product that isn't as good as it could have been, just to get some fan-service and gold glitter on the packaging.

To clarify things further: I would be equally ranty if the scene was about Kratos making gooey faces to a child and the QTEs about making said child laugh. Or alternative if the scene was absolute harcore beastiality featuring Kratos, the Cerberus and a horde of Pegasi. The content of the scene, as it does not improve the gameplay, characters or story, is secondary to my complaints. The fact that it is sex simply makes it easier for people to ignore what I'm complaining about and see this all as being opposed to showing sex in general.

Wow........
They really need to change the sound effects for quick time events during that scene, I was half expecting the ending to be some sort of mental guro fic.

Edit:Also this is probably the only game where a virgin can be told he's inadequate in bed(if he fails the quick time event)

 

[matrix3509]

I can't help but lawl at all the pathetic people here getting excited about fake people. Seriously, its worse than getting aroused by drawn sex. Here, you are getting aroused by a collection of ones and zeros.

How is there anything even close to arousing in this? I found myself laughing my ass off at just how inhumanly terrible it was.

 

[Mozza444]

Well that was just stupid..
Why does every game seem to think it needs a sex scene just to be "cool" it's pathetic.
Plus could they not come up with a better sound than the thrust of a sword? It just made it sound like he was murdering the poor *****.

 

[Proteus214]

That was probably one of the most unintentionally hilarious scenes ever. For 60 seconds God of War suddenly became a bad porn movie.

 

[Metal Brother]

OMFG. It's no wonder that the mainstream looks askance at video games. It was the control hints for the quicktime events that did it for me. I wonder what would have happened if the player didn't respond to the cues in time...

 

[Lord Honk]

8 pages of replies are example enough that "big whoop, another sex scene in a game" still has the power to bring people forth to argue about it. I, for one, see no problem in that

 

[teutonicman]

I love the pandering this is for. OHH NOOOO! I just realized that somewhere sometime soon someone will be faping to this..... AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!

 

[Pimppeter2]

Sure it was pointless, and I have to agree to what SakSak said to an extent, but I think this was inevitable.

Wait...
It's 'Kray-tose'?!
I've been pronouncing it 'Krah-toss' all this time!

But then you'd be saying the greek word for nation/country

 

[ssgt splatter]

Since I'm currently at school, I'll have to watch this later in the day before I can comment on it.

[edit]...

 

[AwesomeExpress]

I think it's funny that Kratos was so good it inspired the two girls to have sex with each other.

 

[mechanixis]

If you screw up the quicktime event, do the girls cringe and look disappointed, while Kratos bellows excuses about how it's been a long time?

 

[Dr. wonderful]

Ugh, this really does drag the series down in terms of respectability...

Really?

because you know, the first two games Had a sex minigame...

Yes and they were uneccessary adding nothing to the story. But instead of just leaving it out of the new game they've just made it more realistic -_-

Uneccessary as in, they were easter eggs.

You really didn't have to play them, hell, you could go the whole game without finding them (I did...on my first three playthrough of each game)

I see, what you are saying though.

 

[monkey_man]

And here I was thinking it was the exact opposite: they want to paint Kratos as the ultimate pinnacle of masculinity: Bulking muscles, wades trough oceans of blood, gives the big-ol-finger to the very gods who oppose him...

And is virile enough to make the goddess of beaty and love sigh in complete satisfaction and gives him an open invitation for a revisit.

In which case the only thing it adds to is the protagonist-wank the developers of God Of War seem to love.

but even if he is, the ultimate badass, some humanity is just what works for kratos, because he it defines his personality. He is killing zombies/demons/creatures, and i think even he needs to get some quality time with ladies. the personality also includes his love for his dead family. and also he IS a spartan, so he can't help enjoying the glory of the battlfield. But without the little bit of humanity, we could replace kratos with a lion, who has blades of chaos athena (man athena scks, chaos is better)

actually the lion idea would be neat

Wait...
It's 'Kray-tose'?!
I've been pronouncing it 'Krah-toss' all this time!

"Kray-tose" is most likely a typical situation where the english language butchers a more suitable pronounciation of a foreign language (this instance being old greek).

So while the game use "Kray-tose", "Krah-toss" would be a more suitable form, so keep it up mate.

 

[Housebroken Lunatic]

If you screw up the quicktime event, do the girls cringe and look disappointed, while Kratos bellows excuses about how it's been a long time?

Hardly likely. Kratos is a man who excuse himself to no one.

I mean, how could your masculinity EVER come in question when you just ripped the friggin' eyeball out of the head of a cyclops yesterday, even if you happen to give some lousy sex the next day after?

Kratos is probably one of the few characters (aside from Chuck Norris of course) who could pull of wearing high-heels and a balldress and still make it into something badass. He is after all. already wearing a skirt. XD
