Let me quote myself for once:SakSak said:When functioning with limited resources, if some of those resources are allocated to area A, how does this not lessen the potential max resources put to areas B, C and D?
Bloodstain said:"Because you got the pink wrapping and gold glitter, the console is not as good as it could have been!"
I'm pretty sure the game contains everything they wanted to implement. Even if said sex scene haven't been made, the game wouldn't be any better because they simply wouldn't have anything more to add to the game.
Probably, the creation of the scene didn't take very much time. In this short amount of time, it's unlikely that they could have created any more important plot-related content. I guess even if they could, they wouldn't (as I said, I'm sure they added everything that was to add).
Conclusion: They game wouldn't be any better (maybe even the opposite, as described in my former posts), it just would have been released a little bit earlier. I don't know how much time you need to create such a scene, but I doubt it's significantly long.
Even then: In my opinion, it doesn't worsen the core product, it remains unharmed. By illustrating this I would merely repeat myself.SakSak said:And if the core product was greek mythology, Kratos would have been an antropomorfic personification instead of a spartan warrior and Ares would have not died at his hand and he would have never lifted his sword against Zeus.
The core product is an action-adventure video game about bathing in the blood of enemies with a plot about loss, adversity and achieving catharsis trough self-forgivness ; not ancient greek mythology.
I somehow think this debate ended in deadlock.
