Dude, when it comes to videogames, sex in Japan isn't "ok", it's MANDATORY. Plus it doesn't count unless it involves cephalopods.Macgyvercas said:

...What? WHAT? Why are you all staring at me...?
Okay, you get mad props for that. It gave me a pretty good laugh.TheMadDoctorsCat said:
Wait...Cephalopods...My hold on biology is not as good as my hold on chemistry...but are you talking about tentacle sex?
Real simple.
Does it have an M or AO rating?
If so, the developer can put in what they want. If the player reads the box, sees "some nudity" and gets angry when the boobs are out...hurf durf, too bad.
The poll is quite silly, really. "Are sex and nudity okay in movies?" "Does the rating allow it?"

I'd say yes because I am a man. A man with testosterone and a predilection for the female form. OK fine I'm a pervy sod but I'm just going to blame genetics for that...and the fact I've not been laid since June!
I can remember playing Duke Nukem 3D and that had a little easter-egg (if you can call it that) in which you could give a stripper a dollar and she'd flash her bitmaps at you. That was back in the 90's and I would have thought, what with all this progressive thinking, that would be considered prudish.
Nope. You can visit a strip club in GTA4 in which the women end the dance with the same underwear ensemble as when they started. They don't strip - they just dance provocatively and charge $100 a pop! At a real strip club I got full-on nudity as well as the girl grabbing my hair, yanking my head forwards and thus burying my face between her rather pert breasts. That only cost me a tenner.
That said though, I think if you start slapping nudity everywhere it loses it's impact. I rather like "tasteful" nudity in which the girl is naked but you can't really see the important bits. That'd be fine for, say, the odd cutscene or picture on a wall. If you're going to do a sex-scene in a game, show more. I'm not saying go to porno levels where you can see it going in but nearly every movie sex-scene shows bare arse and boobs these days. The hype about ME1 was laughable because the sex-scene in that, purported to contain "full-frontal nudity and graphic sex" turned out to be no more graphic than a James Bond film's sex scene.
It really gets my feckles up when I hear parents wailing about games being full of blood and porn and rape and Nazi's and...and...and...FUCK OFF! Read the box - that bloody great "18" / "X" / "M" logo tells you it's NOT FOR CHILDREN. Just because it's a GAME doesn't mean it's automatically for KIDS. I really want to slap these twatholes around the face with raw bacon when they appear on TV crying because the game THEY BOUGHT for THEIR kids "was not suitable".
Hell one of the very first MODs I installed for Fallout 3 was Naouak's female nudes. I found it utterly ridiculous that the game already had an 18 rating for language, violence, scary-monsters, prostitution etc. but no sexual content. Hell you can even drink alcohol, which some people (well I use the word "people" in the broadest possible sense) consider more offensive than face-raping one of the lions of Nelson's Column.
Finally - consider this. The first thing most newborn babies see in their lives is a knocker thrust in their face so what is so wrong with looking at them later on in life? Bloody hypocrites! ;-)

Duke Nukem 3D. Years and years ago.
Nudity is in all forms of media; art, games, movies. It's an age old thing, and while some people get annoyed by it in games, they also get annoyed by people not praying five times a day to a god or wearing your shoes inside.
Remember, everyone sucks but you and their opinions are nothing more than notes.
Why do you find it that intriguing that a thread is required? I'm not taking a stab at you, but all these threads that lack a good means to discussion.

its been in movies for AGEES. Seeings as games are also a form of art and expression much like movies why do they get jugded differently for doing stuff movies have done for yonks. People have some stupid double standard for movies and games. It confuses me no end.jaketheripper said:
That's probably because most so-called defenders of moral virtue still live with the outdated idea that all games are for kids. And kids need to be protected from the bogeyman of sexuality.BiscuitTrouser said:

Really? The decidedly demur 'sex' scene in Mass Effect, in which nothing more gratuitous than a bare butt cheek is shown, seems like a lot of work for little payoff. In a world of easy access porn on the internet and late-night 'infomercials' for Girls-Gone-Wild DVDs, there are much easier and less time consuming ways to see some boobage (in comparison to sinking 20+ hours into a game for a 30 second payoff).
