Lords of Shadow 2 made me uncomfortable with iron fellating.

Yeah I only see something sexual because I read your interpretation of it being sexual.

Now...

Compare Rip Van Winkle's death in Hellsing Ultimate to this. Lords of Shadow 2's scene is fairly par for the course as death scenes go.

So... yeah

Rip Van Winkle's death in Hellsing Ultimate... look it up if you want to, I'll admit, I kinda enjoyed it. I feel bad for enjoying it. But I did.

Wow.... those are some shity models, they look like PS2 graphics ... so sad

@on topic: i do find kind of weird her reacion when she's stab but, ._. U not in a sexual way, more like a B shity movie reaction

So apparently when I posted in the "Sooo... Dracula doing his thing = trivializing of sexual assault" it got me a warning for reply in January thread and the thread was closed.
So might as well start a new thread.

So I was playing Lords of Shadow 2, enjoying my time, getting irked by the modern day setting and all. This is a mature game and the ESRB notice does say "nudity" so I was going in with a mature perspective, even ready to see some well-done nudity.

And then Carmilla boss fight happened.
Not really a spoiler, since she was in the trailers and all, but anyway, you fight her. She's sort of Succubi and nothing wrong with a Temptress villian. But this is how you take her out.

I mean...this scene... Why? The rod stabbing to her...pleasure? And then the same rod fellatio?

Sure God of War has you kill topless gorgons and harpies, but Kratos usually kills them in the same manner as any other monster. But here, not only was the choice of death...suggestive, the direction and angles were also deliberately porn-y. I was uncomfortable watching it. Like it insulted my appreciation of erotica in games with any actual nudity. Had they been fighting naked or during sex...I'd take it as some "artistic thing" or just go "well they wanted nudity".
But this was just...immature and bleh...

P.S.: With how God of War got controversy for a trophy name of "Bros before Hoes" I'm surprised this didn't make the news. I'm sure Sarkeesian will love it though.

This is soooooo much nothing.

Seriously.

Absolutely nothing to discuss here.
Any problem you have with this is purely your own mind.

Yes, I think the subtext is there and intentional. There's no way that the people who made that cutscene failed to notice that it looks like she's being killed by violent fellatio.

No, it does not make me uncomfortable. It just makes me roll my eyes a bit.

Lords of Shadow 2 is one of those games where every second line uttered by a female villain amounts to "I want to fuck you". So I'm not surprised to see this.

 

[Shirokurou]

Don't play dead space 2, you will hate what happens to poor isaac.

I beat dead space 2 and had my eyeballs penetrated. It wasn't this cheesy and overt. I mean, H.R.Giger is all penises and vaginas, but he's not cheesy about it.

So you look at that and DON'T see a blowjob? I'm not calling to take the game off the sales, it's a good game. But...blowing a rod? Come on...that was immature.

yeah the female characters so far are... Food, Satan's whore (in her own words), poison fruit, antidote.

 

[VanQ]

I don't see anything particularly sexual about that. I think gamers are seeing sexism in way too many places where it isn't these days. Hell, she was probably the LEAST sexual Succubus I've ever seen. I mean, holy shit. Are you even aware what a Succubus is? A demon that steals the life energies of men by fucking them!
[sub]If anything, the fact that she's taken an iron rod to the mouth rather than a cock is rather progressive.[/sub]

 

[BarkBarker]

I will admit it seems like a weird place to impale someone when Dracula is all about necks, and her lips do parse in a somewhat suggestive way, but that's only when I'm LOOKING, on the whole it doesn't seem like anything, just a odd choice....like throwing up blood on magical power sources of giant robots for example O-o

 

[Samael Barghest]

She was that type of villain that never stopped talking. A pipe into the mouth like that is fitting to me. I didn't see anything sexual about it.
