Mass Effect 2 brings back sex

[D_987]

Mass Effect 2 will see the return of 'emotionally engaging moments', Bioware tells VG247.

"We don't shy away from emotionally engaging moments," explains Ray Muzyka. "We try to make them contextually appropriate. They're not gratuitous for the sake of gratuity. We put them in to actually drive an emotional response, but the journey you've gone through to get to that point in the game, it has to feel like that is a real point, a real outcome that makes sense to the player to get that point. They're not there for shock value.

If there's surprise and delight in the emotionally engaging moment then that's great too, but they have to feel contextually appropriate. We just make games with great stories and characters and, just like in real life, some of the interactions are emotionally charged between some of the characters. There could be all types of different emotions. And even the experience itself, we strive for emotion... We're not shying away from it."

Bioware's Mass Effect was caught up in a hysterical Fox News report that branded Mass Effect as 'pornography' upon learning that there were sex scenes in the game. It's good to hear that rather than try to steer clear of such controversy, no matter how misunderstood the content is, Bioware is confidently sticking to its vision.

I could hunt through some archives, but I'm too lazy. We shall get Cracked.com to do an article alright?

Don't forget the sideboob!
Good lord, the people who flipped a shit about this should really calm down. It never was anything more explicit than a r-rated movie. God of War cutscenes are more promiscuous than Mass Effect.

Yeah, that's why Fox news looked like morons (again).

It's good to see Bioware stick to their vision of the story and character interactions.
I wuv Bioware.

Bacon sandwich to a starving wolf.

Really, i think the problem is they don't make it gratuitous for the sake of gratuity. It's like they think having a game worth playing ipso facto means they can't have hardcore sex scenes. I can understand not having it just to stay out of the AO/18+ raiting, but they're just limiting themselves and thier game by having it as nothing but bare ass.

OH MY GOD THE SIDEBOOB!!!

Burn it in a fire! Mass Effect is hardcore porn!!! I'll say here the sex scene in ME was so disapointing after all the hype it got. Was like "Was this all??".

That's because old people in America are scared of new media. They did the same thing when R rated movies started showing bare asses and sex scenes.

It wasn't even ten seconds. It was more like half a second.

TALI?! You have some glass fetish? XD

impossible, by the games context, she can't remove her bio suit, and even if you went to the phlotila(Spelling) you would probably cause a plague

 

[soren7550]

Wouldn't it be kind of funny when you do the nasty again you get a achivement called "Doing The FoxxBoxx" or something similar?

Beats the hell out of a blue tentacle-thing and a butch racist.

 

[lleihsad]

R-rated? It was PG-13 at WORST.

As far as the Tali discussion goes, I once saw a gamefaqs post stating that "Commander Zapp Shepard would just turn the decon chamber into the Lovenasium."

Can't, due to the way Quarians are (Tali was my favorite character, so I'm actually sad), but they've said there will be a homosexual male scene.

...wonder what FOX will do about that? Or maybe they'll develop good sense and stay the hell away?
