MSNBC writer wants more sexuality in games

If I recall correctly, the tasteful Mass Effect sex scene was referred to as “Virtual orgasmic rape” by one commentator. The problem lies with the public, not the medium.

(That said, they should be more like the Mass Effect scene than the indigo prophecy scene )

I liked that Farenheit one

I see nipples

Thats a great article, and shes completely right.
However the sad state of affairs is that Adults have the following views, one is that adults watch movies and TV, but only “kids” play games along with some very immature adults, the other is that Gaming isnt looked at as an adult entertainment medium, but as a family entertainment medium.
Their view is that kids will always find a way to play a game, so we must protect their precious witle souls from corruption.
As bruce Campbell from the evil dead series once stated “In the US, you can chop off a womans breast, your just not allowed to kiss it”

“The problem lies with the public, not the medium.”

I disagree. It does seem that way when you consider how much outcry there is about sex in games vs, say, movies. But the fact is that games are still an adolescent medium. Adults play them increasingly, but the vast majority of games are teenage male fantasy fulfillment. Essentially, they’re interactive comic books.

I mean seriously, when the most tasteful application of sex in the medium to date involves alien lesbians… Not that I’m complaining or anything, but you can’t deny the primary obstacle to games being considered grown-up content is, well, the scarcity of grown-up content.

Actually… screwing the alien as a woman was just one of the options. There were equally tasteful non lesbian non alien scenes.
