Or to summerize: The people who don't like modern games, don't own a DS.

I own a DS but, I dislike a large proportion of games.

90% of everything is crap, that's a given.

Still, the DS gets more great games than other consoles.

Interestingly enough, yes, it is on Earth, as a question of matter, in all probability.

Yet it also gets the worst.

Honestly that's because it's cheapest to make a DS so you're just plain going to get more games total for the DS than other consoles. Still, I got to play Dragon Quest IV and V on my DS, Rhapsody, Strange Journey, Disgaea, Mario, Pokemon, a Megaman game that was pretty okay, a great Castlevania game, Contact, Contra 4, Trace Memory, Ace Attorney, and probably about a billion other games I've forgotten.

Indeed it is, and of course you will. Those are good games. I doubt you have ~1billion, your income would have to be huge...and badly spent.

Edit: Still! Sex scenes in games, bad, good, depends?

So how many games are there with sex scenes?

There's the GTA games, I guess, if you count hookers and I think a few hidden ones with girls you date if you count fade to black and noises, I think? But GTA isn't worth discussing if we're gonna be all "Rawr moral outrage maturity rawr rawr blar".

Then there's... Dragon Age wherein to get to the sex scenes with everyone that wasn't a bisexual elf manslut, you had to actually get to know the characters and learned more about their characterization and what they were like than you could ever learn by not romancing them. Maybe the romances weren't perfectly written, or anything, but I can't honestly say that it was handled immaturely.

And then the two Mass Effect games, where, again, I can't really say it was handled immaturely, though the writing for them wasn't nearly as good as in Dragon Age. I guess I've seen Jack mentioned, but what isn't mentioned is that by doing anything with her early like that, you destroy the chance of developing a real relationship with her, or that the later scene you can get if you do is much softer and takes on an entirely different characteristic.

So, I guess if you're just bitching out of prudishness you might have a point, but unless I'm seriously missing some games here... I'm not seeing any kind of real point from a quality standpoint.

Though I haven't played this espionage game from the OP, so I don't know if you actually build a relationship with that woman before she ties you down and rapes you or what the hell. So there's that, I guess.

One game. Maybe.

We could always go morally ranting about Fable 1, considering it had a whorehouse.
But...meh.

Krylo · 06-04-2010, 03:14 PM

Oh yeah, I forgot the two Fable games. Which handled it all pretty shallowly. Though I guess you could get married and have kids so maybe that evens it out? Then again you could have multiple wives who didn't know about each other in both, and could sacrifice your family to the forces of evil in the second, so there's that.

We're up to three, I guess.

Throw in the GoW games, though I'd honestly stick them in with GTA on the whole not even worth discussing in so far as moral outrage goes, 'cause there's much better things to complain about in so far as maturity and what not goes in them (LOOK MA, CENTAUR GIBLETS!)

But what the hell, I'll give them to you.

And there's always God of War. It did have a minigame where you hit buttons to... ahem ... please a lady.

Edit: and ninja'd.
