Getting tired of childish nudity in games - when will games industry grow up...

[Jim_Partridge]

Recently I played Metro Last Light and didn't really understand the need for lap dancing scene. Here in Thief we get naked women too (well prostitutes in both cases). The Witcher 2 seems to also include.

This seems to be completely unnecessary in my opinion.. is this just to give teenagers something to fiddle with themselves to? Or do they just throw it in when it becomes clear the game will receive a mature rating?

For me I found the whole thing fairly childish and offensive... not because I'm offended by nudity, I'm not and boobs are great!!! I just think that female gamers shouldn't really have to put up with this. It had no place in the story and there was no reason to show it.

A sex scene between two main characters or something, if relevant, might have excused it.

When will the games industry grow up... its just embarrassing for me when I try to defend the industry to people who don't understand it...

Censorship should be criminalised... this is a game made for the western world, not Islamic states where exposure to sexuality can get you flogged or stoned to death. Hiding your body behind 2 or 3 layers of clothing isn't "natural", it's cultural or social, sex is normal, having genitals is normal, feeling horny is normal. Sure, we don't have to expose kids to all this at a young age, but that's why we have an age rating system for most media. I can't stand prudes who complain after the fact the age rating applied by Pegi is 18 and therefore "mature". Since when did a naked digitally-created woman become more offensive than simulated killing? You really need to sort your priorities, or go live in a Middle Eastern country where this and many other such games wouldn't even reach the shelves because of the autocratic censorship which prevails there, then you wouldn't have anything to cry about, the government would blind you to it.

Read the Witcher books, which are the model of the Witcher games and which weren't written for teenagers. Sex, ra.pe, nudity and violence etc. are important parts of the universe. The first book even starts with a sex scene.

Yeah that might be true for The Witcher, but it's not like that for all games. Plenty of games just throw it in.

So you let your kids, (12 years old kids maybe?) play mature games that is suitable for 18+ years old people? So the blame falls on YOU.

I could really care less either way. I'm a nudist, and while I find the human body attractive, I'm not "Bothered" by it in any situation. It's all completely natural, and if it offends you so much, you may want to seek profesional help.

Op, are you srsly expecting a lot of ppl to understand it?

[Hobo]

Sex sells. Imagine two versions of a game where the only difference is a sex scene. Which one do you think will generate more income?

[Nick Vascuas]

Go play outlast if you want some men naked.

USA (fear of T_TS) Outside of USA (Fear of Ultra-Violence).

Which seems more un-natural?

I speak in generalities (me likey T_TS).

I like Ultra Violence, I always pick that difficulty in doom.

Why are you trying to defend it? What is the point? What is embarrassing is someone complaining about naked women in a game. What is even more embarrassing is someone WANTING nudity in a game to add to the 'realism' (e.g. The Forest, but that is another story altogether.)

You have a few options:

1. Don't buy the game if it includes something you don't like.

2. Don't complain about the game because it has something you don't like, unless you enjoy having games you DO like censored as well. (e.g. When will the industry grow up and quit making games that allow you to KILL people? It's embarrassing for me when I try to defend the industry to people who don't understand it. See how that works in reverse?)

3. Buy the game and just be mature enough to shrug off the 'childish', 'offensive', and 'unnecessary' inclusions.

4. Plenty more but you get the idea.
