A Somewhat Reasonable Stance: More nudity in games please


These guys have a few good points and a lot of non-points. Like television, the gaming world is overrun with graphic violence and, increasingly, swearing, but sex and nudity are still considered completely taboo. There is, of course, no good reason for this other than to avoid flak from religious and parenting groups — and of course they’re all already in total war mode against everything from Mass Effect to GTA IV regardless of rating.

But hey, the rating says M, right? You go to an R-rated movie, you expect a little skin. Why not with games? Sex surrounds us, so why is it meticulously removed from the stories, dialogue, and locations even in the most violent or well-written game? Sure, you get the odd mini-game or cutscene but it’s nearly always throwaway or compromised because of liability. The writers of the article appear to be more interested in seeing a pair every once in a while than with creating serious content, but hey, we’ve gotta start somewhere.

Yes they would, when money talks loud enough.
And if you go back in time, you’ll remember client #9.

And their heads suspiciously look extraordinarily smaller than his head. Thus he must be a total super nerd, and thus no hot chicks would be caught near him.
