I think it has to do with incorperating sexual acts into gameplay that get people offended. It's A LOT easier to make a game based on violence than it is on sex (I mean just imagine little girls and boys controlling a VG Character to pressing A to HUMP and B to go faster)!

The programmers were 15 and 16 at the time of creation.

If you ask me, it's parents that dictate this, as a society it's become more acceptable to see someones head blown off with a shotgun than seeing sexual acts. But put yourself in parents shoes, as a father WOULD YOU REALLY WANT YOUR DAUGHTER TO PLAY A GAME THAT HAS SEXUAL GAMEPLAY ATTACHED TO IT, and as a mother WOULD YOU REALLY LIKE YOUR SON TO LEARN ABOUT SEX THAT WAY? I am extremely open minded, but I have to REALLY question if I want my daughter exposed to sex in games especially if it's the hentai kind (something like that can REALLY DISTURB a child and make them feel EXTREMELY VUNERABLE). I bring this up because we already have EXTREME Violence in games, now imagine Extreme sexual content?

In any case, I think as a parent you have to control the things your kids come in contact to. And I think a head blown off is way worse for the psyche of my child than a naked body. And should kids learn from these games? No. But there is an alternative: talking to your kids about sex. That's the way they should learn about these things.

In any case, I would keep them away from too much violence. But that is my view as an european. I know americans are different i this area (probably the reason why the US has no problem getting involved in wars or even starting them all over the world).

Because people just want something to complain about, I mean if you're going to complain at least complain about the thing that isn't natural (sex) vs something where you're murdering a thousand people in a single scene (violence).

Not that I'm complaining about violence myself, I'd prefer no complaining at all because at the end of the day video games aren't hurting anyone (even if politicians try to make you believe otherwise)

Sex isn't natural?

I understand how you meant it and agree, thoughtless violence is much worse than sex, but both should be creative choices for devs.

That's not a shooter though, is it? It's more like a paint simulator. Only that you're using your bodily fluids instead of paint.

So really, this thing is closer to an Eroge than it is to a shooter.

Prudes. Sex, violence...its all apart of life and if what happens in the games stays in the games as long its not forced upon the world.



Sexual themes if you're wondering can absolutely add to game.

MGS3 Is a postmodern achievement that pays homage to the spy genre, James Bond to be specefic. Those movies are famous for having a promiscuous masculine figure and women that engage him and his casual misogyny poorly disguised as "jokes". They still got tossed to the side, literally at time. Those things were ok for their time and it's more subtle and funny than I'm making it out to be.

Eva takes the role of the female spy in a game that is riddled with 007 references. She tries to seduce and flirt with Snake but he constantly refuses her and that leads to some hot, awkward and funny fan service scene. This purposely frustrates the player who is aware of the power fantasy James Bond movies and other games and movies of the time. She survives the climax along with Snake but betrays him in the conclusion of the story. Snake, the main protagonist, doesn't say a word in the melancholic last half hour cutscene yet the only person that talks in it is Eva (the most sexualized figure in the game). She then explains everything that was kept a secret from Snake, and by extension the player through a recorder. This emasculates to the most manly figure in the game as it ends with him shedding a tear saluting his female mentor's grave.

Bioware also give you a sex scene as a reward for engaging with the characters. But to be fare the dialogue and writing is great so you want to engage with the other characters and play their side missions even if you're only banging one of them.

It's a US thing. A penis/boob is horrifying. But a head exploding is a family movie affair.


Neither are good for children. I have studied this and seen many deep, scientific studies which show that introducing graphic/mild sexual scenes into the mind of a child who is not yet in puberty, can and will usually mess them up. 

Kids needs to play things like Pikmin and Mario imo.



Mature or Adult Only >:D
