Poll: The lack of nudity in gaming

[TheDoctor455]

I really think that there should only be nudity and sex in a game if it actually furthers the plot of the game (that sex-scene in Darkwatch doesn't count)

It does further the plot because there is more plot consisting of sex when sex is added. Common sense.

No, on their own, sex and nudity do not add anything to the plot. In order for them to contribute something to the plot, you first have to put the sex and nudity into the proper context (I can't really give an example of this as it largely depends on the kind of story you want to tell).

They're in love/lust. There, more plot. Now I'm more entertained because there is more of a story as well as more of some bewbs.

Fine, but let's not forget that in most games, the only reason that the protagonist has love interest in the first place is so that we have something pretty to stare at. Now, if the romance was actually central to the plot, then I could understand, but I haven't really played a game yet that has done something like that.

So why not have something pretty to stare at.....with bewbs?

(Sighs) Have you even been paying attention?

Yes, something about love interests being something pretty to stare at, and love interests have bewbs....I love bewbs....thusfore, bewbs are love interests.

Common sense.

No, what I was trying to get through your skull (I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that you have a skull), is the idea that I'm okay with having a genuine love interest in a game, so long as said love interest behaves like an actual human being, and remains an interesting character even through the whole relationship. What I don't want to see is what we've all seen too much of: either A) A princess locked in a tower, or B) A super-serious badass action girl that pumps roids every time a load screen pops up.

I'd agree with a genuine love interest because I genuinely love bewbs. Have the main character actually love the interest and then make them go through alot of hassle from enemies. Then to have them relax....sex minigame....and she should show her bewbs during that.

Holy shit. I've never met anyone this single-minded.

wtf is the something else option supposed to mean???

Single-minded? Well I am single at the moment. Are you saying that people in relationships don't want to see bewbs? I can disprove that.

 

[Cliff_m85]

Nothing topless, but only bottomless.

I'd have to say there should be more nudity, but also should have an important role in the games story, and not randomly thrown out there to make more sales. If it's just thrown in there, I'd prefer to have something else, perhaps more original.

P.S: Sorry if this has already been said.

I once setup a PC for a family and in testing the filters, IE and google let Jim Morrisons biography (Sex and drugs and more sex and drugs) through but blanched at parrots. I've never found out why & frankly I'm terrrified to google parroting.

I would be too.

Audience member: "How should I choose a new comic to read?"
Female comic artist: "Look at the heights on the shelf. European comics are a different size, and they're usually better than American comics. American ones are all the same, but with the European ones you're going to have ... nudity ... you're going to have ... "
Publisher: "Does nudity make a better comic?"
Artist: "Yeah! BOOBIES!"

What do you consider nude?

Bewbs, weeners, punanis, naughty-hair, unveiled faces.

Also showing hair (Iran), bare shoulders (SE Asia), ankles (the guys who couldn't take any more of Victorian England's licentious, liberal ways and sailed off to take North America off the natives), midriff, the back of the neck, toes, ...

What's considered indecent varies a lot from culture to culture. Documentaries about Africa showed whole tribes naked from the waist up, and then there were hours and hours of panic in dozens of studios because some singer's covered nipple escaped from her dress for 1.6 seconds on daytime TV.

I fail to see what nudity adds to a gaming experience. Let deviant art handle bringing our favorite characters to the flesh.

A tad harsh on us deviants, but none the less true

Mass Effect doesn't really count because it was not even enough to set the alarm off for anyone except FOX news.

The Fox can have a powerful effect on the weak-minded.
