Sex Scenes in games: Deep gameplay or CHEEEEEEEEEEESE

[Bells]

So... the latest one? Alpha Protocol. And it's just... gawh, this is awkward.

I mean, this is a trend i really really really want to stop. These scenes aren't good. They do nothing for the characters, plot, unniverse, gameplay... ever.

In one moment you're playing as a spy or medieval hunter in this world of danger running against the clock to save the day and then... bam! You appear in a REALLY cheesy low quality Softcore porn scene...

I can see the appeal for angry frustrated virgin teens, but c'mon if you are willing to pick up a game because of crap like this, just walk the extra mile and get a Sex game already....

Or use Google. It's not like there isn't plenty out there.

I'll say that Bioware gets a pass, just because they actually make it a relationship thing instead of just fucking. I mean, there IS that, or there was in the first game, but the people are clearly in love, rather than just having an awkward porno in the middle of the game.

There is no trend. GTA, GoW, and this are the only few games that do it and get past the radar.

Besides, it's America. Sex scenes in games out side of Ao titles will never fly. Not if the FCC has anything to say about it.

No, Bioware gives pornos in game, Jake is a good example in ME2. But seriously, crappy sex scenes are in movies and tv and no one complains about those so yeah, I say just don't buy the game if you dont like em, they're trying to make a mature game by adding mature elements. Its not that big of an issue really.

I agree insomuch as it's not a big issue either way.

See Jake doesn't sound like Jack at all.
It sounds like Jacob.
