Well... not comparatively as bad as most of the others, but pretty much every CG is Record of Agarest War had pretty strong sexually suggestive content, more so than most games I've seen and in MUCH greater quantity

The end of F.E.A.R. 2. I know it's not really that awful as far as ratings go, but what idiot would write that and think that absolutely noone would care?
Quake 4, Strogg Scene.
Easily the most disturbing thing I've ever seen in a game. I've seen intense gore and dismemberment in games plenty, that was the first and only time I was forced to watch it done to my own character while being kept alive, moving down an assembly line like I was a chunk of meat.
It still gives me the willies. And I have no idea how the ESRB didn't go "Wtf no. Take that out."

US government getting Australian ads pulled (aboriginies eating KFC is racist wtf HOW?).
on-topic:
Rapelay, seems pretty inappropriate considering the title and everything.
Also: L4D2 gets banned but AvP doesn't (granted the dev threatened to not release here as a result) and DNF probably won't either (all you who didn't believe he would ever cum HAH).

I was always curios why the rest of the media in their "Videogames will turn your kids into murderers!" campaigns never showed footage of the really violent videogames. We've seen quite a lot of "Counterstrike" and how you could "simulate" a killing spree on your School with this game.
If i wanted to make People think that videogames are too violent for children, i'd show footage of "Manhunt" or the fatalities for Mortal Kombat.
But "Counterstrike"? Really? I actually think this Game would teach you something. If you aim a loaded Weapon at someone and squeeze the trigger, that guy is dead. He's not coming back, because he's dead.
This is not like the "A-Team" show where they could spray bullets wildly around and all it did was to make everyone jump behind some cover. Or maybe something exploded next to them and they got hurled through the Air, but where unharmed afterwards.
Counter Strike would have you shoot People dead, because if you don't, they will shoot you dead. One may argue that it is rather bad that the game has you kill people because there is no other way. But if there really was no other way, i wouldn't be too shocked if one guy shot another.
Maybe the Game box should say that its not ok to kill People, unless there is absolutely positively no other Way to stop them from killing you or others.
Other then that, i don't get what the People want. Its a violent Videogame, sure, but it doesn't depict Violence in a "Fun" way. If that guy kills you, you're as dead as a videogame character could possibly be.
Its like that funny Christian Guy that was angry at "Oblivion" for showing i depiction of "Hell" and "Demons" and stuff.
Well, he got that right, the Plains of Oblivion sure look like some depiction of Hell and there are some things running around that would qualify as Demons.
But the Game has you fight the Forces of that Hell, because everything that comes from Hell is evil. The Goal is to rescue the World from "the Devil", which tries to make the World like "Hell".
Which is a bad thing, both in christian mythology and this game.

Outside of visual novels, I've never seen anything to shock me or which I found unacceptable, but I did wonder how the end to the Poseidon boss fight in God of War III didn't cause more of a ruckus, especially since it was such a highly promoted major mainstream title.
And Bayonetta seem like it would have gotten the panties of some of the more annoying segments among the religious in avending machine knot.

The Screamwagon in Brutal Legend. Their units in general, actually, but I mean... Seriously. A car with a guy being tortured on the front of it, and you can change the torture method to change how he screams, and consequently what buff it gives your troops? How the hell was that allowed?
Very glad it did, though - it fits the Tainted Coil perfectly. I'm glad developers can actually do stuff like this without censorship.

Oh god, I'd literally forgotten about this until after you mentioned it. That may be the only time a game has actually left me queasy.Jennacide said:
As someone else has mentioned, you're kinda mixing them over, but that doesn't make the plot for either game any less psychotic.PinochetIsMyBro said:
You play as F.E.A.R.'s unnamed Point Man. Your mother is Alma Wade, the scary little ghost girl who pops up and liquefies people randomly through the story. Your brother is Paxton Fettel, the psychic commander of Project: Origin's super soldier clones.
Neither of you knew your mother as she spent most of her life in a sensory deprivation bubble from about the time she was four or five. She was put there by her father, Harlan Wade, because of her psychic capability. Harlan then proceeded to have her knocked up at least twice, producing the Point Man and Paxton. She spent most of both pregnancies in the deprivation tank. As Harlan said, "she spent most of her life floating there in the dark."
Finally, after the Fettel proved to be a little unstable, the company Harlan worked for decided to shut down the program, so he simply pulled the plug on the life support keeping his daughter alive.
As a side note, the game toys with making someone who turns out to be the player character's aunt (Alice Wade) a love interest.

You play as Becket[footnote]I can't remember or be arsed to find his first name at the moment, sorry.
EDIT: It's Michael, I looked it up by accident while looking for Alice's first name... *facepalm*[/footnote] a part of an elite team [footnote]Because, when do you play part of a non-elite team in an FPS game?[/footnote] sent to retrieve Genevieve Aristide. The genius who decided to reopen the haunted Project: Origin facility and lead to the city being psychically nuked at the end of F.E.A.R. one.
Aristide manages to get Becket to use something called a T.A.C. chamber[footnote]I do remember what T.A.C. stands for, I just don't care. That said the C stands for chamber... so it's the Telesthetic Atunement Chamber Chamber... right...[/footnote] which makes Becket irresistibly sexually attractive to Alma. Keeping in mind that for the most part Alma, in spite of being dead, still basically has the mind of an eight year old. You may now vomit.

I thought that too. Then I was the writing on the gun, and thought " wow, the student council has guns, thats pretty hardcore".Risingblade said:
Guns are nowhere near as readily available in Japan though, so it wouldnt be a problem.
Dead Space 2. Seriously, a line of red when you cut a monster gets Silent Hill Homecoming banned, but slicing humanoid aliens apart and breaking corpses into chunks with your feet? Nope, no problem there.
This is more going off their (inconsistent) standards than mine though. I have no problem with it myself.

There are quite a few 'Wow they actually etc etc' moments in the entire Elder Scrolls series, but with Morrowind... The mortal God Vivec being male and female (and possibly due to this, but maybe not), it is heavily implied that he had several children with the King of Rape. And Molag Bal is referred to as such, throughout the entire Elder Scrolls series. In several of the games' books.lacktheknack said:

Resident Evil 5.
I can understand all the zombies being black when the game is set in Africa and i think most of the racial controversy was just people being overly PC, but i cant believe Capcom got away with having zombie spear chuckers decked out in full tribal gear.
