The Saboteur Offers Free DLC of Boobs on Day One

[Doug]

By making nudity something that each consumer must choose to display, however, EA deftly sidesteps the issue. Ostensibly, anyone who is able to purchase games and downloadable content from XBLA or PSN is old enough to have a credit card and therefore old enough to decide if they want to see virtual boobs. Of course, that still doesn't prevent some parent crying foul because they never set up parental controls or let their kids have their credit card number. In any case, it is a clever attempt by EA to offer adult content if you jump through an "age gate."

I strongly disagree. GTA: SA didn't even give the opinion of launching the Hot Coffee content, and it required an external modification of the game to achieve, and yet they still got utterly hammered by the ban-happy folks and the people who think parents can't look after their own kids....well, in America anyways. I believe the BBFC's response can be summed up with a shrug and a 'meh'.

I can see how having your nipples being covered up by these [http://www.properpasty.co.uk/wp-content/themes/church_10/images/Steak-Pasty.jpg] would be quite distressing.

But oh so delicious. Tits and pasties. Could it get much better?

 

[Jared]

Tis the old say...Sex Sells...

Although, why would you want to D/L that if you dont get it for free? Really? Well, I suppose for a gimmick it will pull some people in

 

[Isalan]

I'm struggling with why the hell they are covering tits with pasties now? Aren't they a Cornish thing, like myself?

Surely, guiness would have been more appropriate/surreal? Also how are the pasties staying on?

 

[Pimppeter2]

I wonder how that bored meeting went.

Fuckin' A, it's just like with DA:O, the DLC SHOULD HAVE been included in the actual fucking game, pretty soon we'll be doing a pay-to-play, where you have to pay for every hour's worth of game.

i still dont understand why it more contraversial to have boobs in game where you play a MASS MURDERER, they may be nazis but "killing under the guise of war is still murder" (thanks einstein). i just dont understand what so bad about nudity, as we are all nude .... under our clothes (see what i did there, hah im a genius)

(actually i lied, my friend said the nude under clothes thing and i stole it)

(sorry)

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

I actually think I hate EA now. If you've already gone to the trouble of coding all this, including it in the game or I just won't buy it. Sure, if something is broken, fix it, but otherwise, release the complete version of the game!

I was on the fence, but I think I have slipped into the not buying side on this game. It's not the sex, it's what this witholding of content represents.

 

[Master Kuja]

If it works, I applaud them, I'll also have a little more of my faith shattered...Because the idea that slapping boobs on a game instantly improves sales would be true.

But everyone loves boobs...Right?

Sigh.

Well, it says the uncovered boobies AND extra hiding places and stuff; so, in order to get the extra stuff, I have to have the uncovered boobs? Hmm. I dunno, I have a feeling I'd actually be put off by the amount of bare nipples - after all, when I want porn, I don't play games for it.

 

[Gaderael]

This is jugs the breast idea ever! They'll be groping in money hand over tits for sure.

 

[Russ Pitts]

This ... is GENIUS!

 

[DaxStrife]

This is actually something I want to see, and no I'm not just talking about the boobs.
I want to see more games that can have adult content in them, but don't, and that can be repaired with a simple patch/update. It takes the heat off the developer and puts it entirely in the player's hands if they want to play a "Mature" game or an "Adult" game. I'll leave it to you if those rating titles are appropriate.

 

[Caligulove]

wondering if this will start a trend in sexy DLC being released for other games?
might be able to circumvent the trend of tasteless sex and reserve it to DLC?



..
Its nice to dream...

 

[cobra_ky]

I think two wrongs just made a right.

but why not just sell the disc for $5 and require a $55 DLC pack to play it?

 

[Nimbus]

Fight used games? Yes. Piracy? Not so much. In all likelihood, the pirate copy will be available in all it's... uh... "Glory" from day one.

 

[Kirosilence]

Good job by EA, very smart move.

I plan to be inputing that code so that I may play Saboobtoure in all it's boobtactular glory.

Indeed, hurrah for more wonderful "day one DLC". Regardless of what other theories are provided to the contrary, I still remain immensely sceptical over this sort of thing, even the stuff from Dragon Age : Origins. Still, at least that was a farily worthwhile download.

If I happened to purchase this game, which I doubt I will, I'd probably key in the code for free, but paying money for such a small change? No thanks.

 

[jboking]

Wow, really? They're sure desperate for sales.

Well, the actual Pandemic Studios no longer exists and it's this game is now being controlled by EA alone. I'd wager to say that means EA is losing money bad, and sexy DLC seems like a way for them to get it.

Actually, to see in videos that boobs and other stuff was blurred was one of the things that toss me off that game. What is the point of having a burlesque as a base of operations if you are going to blur the damn thing.

Now all they have to do is change the character out of cartoonish irish and the nazis out of generic bad guys and it could be a pretty good game.
