If it serves a purpose in the story and fits, sure. If it's like.. say.. the sex in that shitty biker game that will go unnamed? No.

I don't mind one way or the other. Although I wish there was more, just to shut up the puritans that think cutting a man in half is good entertainment but flashing a breast is taboo, I know most examples will be weirdly acted and animated, and only there to sell fanservice...
I have to give credit to Mass Effect 3, though... If you sticked to a single romantic interest throughout the series, she/he would be in bed with you every time you were shown sleeping. Sex was implied, but the simple act of sleeping together was not depicted as an excuse to get naughty (you two are past that), but as a common and almost trivial display of intimacy. It was handled a lot better than 2.
Touching? I thought it was purely exploitative. I get that they tried to satirize and trivialize it by making it a simple button prompt for everyone (even a floating robotic ball), but I got stuck with a bug that made me hear the audiolog of Kinzie lamenting that her one true love (Oleg) died with everyone else on earth that reminded me that that scene was just wrong...The Madman said:

On the other side of the spectrum, I mean Japan, they fear the sight of vaginas and dicks even if ALL THE BEINGS IN COSMOS knows what they are looking at.CritialGaming said:
But hey, at least now that a developer released "Lady in Binds" on Steam uncensored, things get better.
The important question is: Did you find your Wolf Girl to?
Hey, what if you have a game that uses Kama Sutra? I imagine it a bit like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater where you you go around and do tricks on a skateboard, only you're not using a skateboard but other people. And no ramps but beds.CaitSeith said:
Sex knowledge I've gained in games I've played:CaitSeith said:
Far Cray 3 - the woman murders the man after they finish.
Dragon Age: Origins - it's done while wearing underwear.
Mass Effect 3 - you get nightmares of a burning kid in a forest.
Tricky. I don't think THPS controls and physics would translate well for sex moves. Not sure they would be as satisfying, as the build up on the individual tricks ends too soon to be a single pose. But we don't want it to be too complex. i.e. ragdoll physics like QWOP would be fun, but it probably would kill the mood more often than not.DoPo said:
I think having an uncensored game like Lady in a Bind on steam is a good thing. It shows progression in the media. I'm not interested in the game, but bravo to the community and developer for getting a wide release like that.SweetShark said:
I don't know what you are talking about with the Wolf Girl thing. Is that a meme?
The Developers had a lot of work to do to leave it untouched for a Steam release I guess.CritialGaming said:
The "Wolf Girl with you" is a game which you can use voice command as you asked something more "realistic".
Of course I am joking, but yeah, if you were curious, here is a screenshot:
THIS is a meme btw, don't get scared
I don't mind them in theory but most tend to be very cringey. For every Witcher 2/3 scene there are dozens of hilariously bad scenes like Wolfenstein: TNO or even worse, Heavy Rain.
If you are going to use sex scenes it least put the effort into making somewhat fitting, and for love love all that is holy do not put quick time events in them, looking at you Heavy Rain. And certainly do not shoehorn one in just because you feel you need one when it makes no sense narratively and contradicts character motivations in said narrative and yes Heavy Rain I am still looking at you.

Even though I've read Blood and Elves I don't remember that, but I do believe you. I probably just expunged the memory of that detail from my mind because of how absolutely stupid I think it sounds. Sexual pheromones? Magic sexy touch? That really is some bad fan-fic level stuff. Eug. I guess I just prefer to think that's not the case, and since as far as I've encountered and most certainly in the games it's never brought up again, maybe others feel that way as well.Alma Mare said:
Well yeah, I was joking. Even in the game it's a joke. You're not meant to take the 'sex scenes' in Saints Row 4 seriously.hermes said:
This is really my feeling about all of the Witcher books. There's some cool world building going on with plenty of high brow social discourse that's constantly present, but ever so often it seems like Sapkowski gets a little carried away and just has to throw in some juvenile "cool shit" for some reason.The Madman said:
Incidentally, the same is true for George Martin and a Tale of Ice and Fire. Some of the best world building and intriguing around, but ever so often he seems to just have this urge to describe a woman's breasts (or any kind of meal) in incredible detail. It is especially jarring when every chapter with Dany seems to have a mandatory section of her going topless and the fact that her breasts gets more description then all of Jorah Mormont's physical appearance.
At this point I am pretty convinced it is a problem with fantasy writers in general.
Like everything when it comes to videogames, I believe that everything can be done well. Can.
I don't really see how it can be much different to directing a sex scene in a TV show or a movie, yeeeeeeet, they are almost all TERRIBLE. For every instance of it being done well, there are 10 examples of it being done laughably. Look at Dragon Age: Origins for example, where everybody rolls around the floor in their underwear, doing vaguely sexual poses and faces, or everyone's favourite - Ride to Hell Retribution, where the sex is a reward for beating up their attacker, and then they proceed to do awkaward doggy, FULLY CLOTHED, with hilarious facial animations. Sexy.
I dunno; generally I just prefer the fade to black, because at least that is somewhat tasteful, at least when compared to watching 2 characters awkwardly go at it.
