Are you saying that they should take the Fable approach or the GTA hooker approach?DaxStrife said:Well if they're worried about creepy explicit graphics, how about less visual and more audio?
Exactly. If I'm trying to play a game and some animated people start getting it on, I have to constantly try and skip it or make sure the doors are locked so someone won't mistake me for watching hentai or something. It's not fun to watch, especially if it's in a game like God of War. If I'm playing God of War, I want to slice monsters' eyes out with chains, not watch some creepy lesbian sex scene.syndicated44 said:I kind of hate sex scenes in games. They aren't interesting or for that matter hot to watch. They're mostly embarrassing for me. So unless there is a REALLY good reason to throw something like that into a game then no I don't think a game should have a sex scene.
I don't know, I think the Mass Effect 2 ones were better, you know, having actual characters that you can feel sympathy towards.reg42 said:I thought the sex scene in Mass Effect was good, as the nudity was more realistic and mature then was I was used to in games. The ones in ME2 and DA:O weren't as well done IMO, as they they dropped me head first into the uncanny valley
Same here. I thought that the sex scene in ME was tastefully done, but when I saw the scenes in DA:O... I think "cringe-worthy" barely begins to describe it. As for the ME2 sex scenes, well... Let's just say that they were an extra reason for my FemShep to remain faithful to her Kaidan... =Dreg42 said:I thought the sex scene in Mass Effect was good, as the nudity was more realistic and mature then was I was used to in games.

If we're talking about the characterisation in ME2 compared to ME, then yeah. Characters in ME2 were fleshed out a lot more, and were generally likable and believable. I only saw the Liara scene in ME, and I thought it trumped Jack's by a long way. Tali's was very nice though.Journeythroughhell said:I don't know, I think the Mass Effect 2 ones were better, you know, having actual characters that you can feel sympathy towards.reg42 said:I thought the sex scene in Mass Effect was good, as the nudity was more realistic and mature then was I was used to in games.

And, of course, the Heavy Rain sex scene, which was very good and nicely built-up in that weirdly romantic sort of way. After the absolutely unreasonable borderline pornography in Fahrenheit, HR really impressed me.
So, the sex scenes are alright, as long as Bioware and Quantic Dream are the ones putting them in their games.
