Honestly this has nothing to do with expecting people to parent their kids and everything to do with the fact that people think 12 year olds can legally buy a game with spanking and stripping as objectives. And that's the fault of the marketing team.mexicola said:Aww the picture is misleading, I came in here expecting porn.
But yeah, from the few glimpses I caught of it during the trailer the games looks rather tame and the awful advertising is the worst part of it. Parents are just bitching again about world being out of their control and refusing to raise their children for them. But hey! At least it's not getting released in USA, imagine what the outrage of true professionals would look like.
We Dare Gets 12+ Rating, Parents Go Nuts

No I probably know it better than you. bethesda did make all the content seen in the topless mod but it was only put together in the mod. ESRB rate games based on everything on the disc and there was nude material on the disc. I think this is also silly but they do need very strict regulations so it makes sense.skyfire_freckles said:
Am I the only one that thinks 12-year-olds should be able to get away with kissing and spanking, especially because this game involved neither?
Right. And the fact that a game that's advertised as "Super Sexy Orgy minigame collection" getting a rating that means that a 12 year old can buy it if they have the cash isn't really a reason for parents to be upset.theultimateend said:
Oh, wait.
I like the fact that these parents are flipping out over this despite the fact that the 12 rating means there isn't explicit material in it. Sure the advert's somewhat misleading in that sense, but that's not the game's fault it's the marketing people's fault.
Like the article said, it's digital spin the bottle and if anyone thinks the average 12 year old in the UK hasn't played something like it then they have a sugar-coated image of this generation.

Also, just speaking from my perspective as a teen, are parents in the UK in denial about minors having sex or something? I mean, seriously. It's the 21st century, and what with the current popular culture that promotes alcohol, drugs, and sex, no frikkin wonder your kids are having sex so young.
Why are you blaming the newest media on the block? Because in your generation, if kids didn't do what their parents wanted they could have the shit beaten out of them, and IT WAS COMPLETELY LEGAL. These days, you raise a hand to your teen and they'll call the police on your ass in a second and chances are you'd never see them again. So what caused this? Well, OBVIOUSLY, it was those damn sex-promoting video games! What's that? Rapper mcdouchebag just released his new album, 'Underage girls are the sweetest'? Nah, that's just harmless words. James Bond just banged his way through 69 supermodels to reach the villain's evil lair, while the movie was rated 13+? No problem there. Your local liquor store owner notices that most of the 21-year-olds buying booze have some serious height issues? It's just a coincidence. But Timmy played a Wii game where the commercial might have implied something remotely sexual? STOP THE PRESSES, THE VIDEO GAME MAKERS WANT TO CORRUPT OUR CHILDREN!
Have any of these parents ever been to a modern high school dance? Seen all the signs and posters about all the various 'dances' that aren't allowed? Ever wondered what your kid was doing when he was 'sleeping over' at a certain friend's house, when their parents just happened to be out of town? And that weekend when your kid was home alone, and you come back to find the place trashed? Common sense people? Wasn't that part of your mandatory software updates back in the day? Well, obviously it couldn't be anything that existed in our day, so OBVIOUSLY it's the fault of those damn computers and video games. And what's the solution? Rabble until the government has to step in so you will shut your goddamn trap.
Also, while I'm ranting, exactly what do they think rabbling about this will accomplish? You're basically giving the thing free publicity, and that's going to end up selling it to far more horny teens that that terrible commercial. As ironic as this sounds, grow up. Your childish screaming because something scares you is ridiculous, and trying to alienate your kids because their favorite media scares you is surely going to keep them from disobeying your orders about how to act.

Somehow it's hard to imagine that a 12 year old is actually that interested in buying such a game. I mean at that age I'd rather would want to play something with a bit adventure or an actual sports game or so. To me sounds more like something like older people would play drunk at a party maybe... somehow I'm not even sure who would buy such a game to be honest.
Wow. First off, don't buy the game for them...
Second....I'm sure your kids have already played spin the bottle or seven minutes in heaven...so yea.

Breaking News, if your 12+ teenager is healthily interested in sex, they're not going to rush out and buy this game in the hope of maybe touching a girl's bottom.
They're going to be fucking.
Teach them about a bit of respect, restraint, common sense and safety, then you don't need to worry that a mildly suggestive game is going to corrupt them.
As far as I can see, does this game really do anything that a game of 'dare' played at a party wouldn't do? Apart from have a vibrating controller?
Really tho, looks like standard Wii shovelware, they're just lucky someone got outraged enough to give them free publicity, it might sell enough to make back the $100 investment in its creation.
