-dood- “I hate sex, nudity and oversized things in games…” If you’re so sensitive about such “things” maybe you shouldn’t play games, in fact you shouldn’t watch movies, tv shows, lady gaga.. or step outside because you might run into “oversized things” in the real world. I’m constantly amazed on how anal, and sexually repressed Westerners-Americans are. Being bombarded constantly by images of violence is perfectly fine, but everyone draws the line when cleavage is involved. The Japanese who gave us DOAX have the right attitude towards all this, they don’t care about sex, but extreme violence is frowned upon. They just happen to have one of lowest crime rates on earth, compared to America(which has the polar opposite viewpoints) which has one of the highest. In fact some US cities are considered war zones almost. Makes you wonder.

I take it the gap between articles was a result of intensive reseach, Simon

I don’t care if my character avatar is a nearly naked broad or a beeping blue square, as long as the game-play mechanics are fun it’s a successful game.

@swallow: Male frontal nudity in games has the same effect for most decent girl gamers that female frontal nudity has. You look at it and go, “Wow, there’s naked pixels on my screen.” There’s no fapping or drooling or blow up dolls involved.

As for the type of gamers which are interested in this.. I installed the Hot Coffee patch for San Andreas, just to see it. :>

I loved what DA:O did with the whole question:

Man looking for woman, check.
Man looking for man, check.
Man looking for both at the same time, check.

And vice versa.

Plus, you even got to choose the type of person you wanted to whore around with!

I was just happy that after my 6th? trip to the brothel I didn’t catch some elusive Dwarven STD.

I don’t speak for everyone, but I don’t think that women are as thrilled about male full-front nudity than men are about tits and ass.

I like realism in games and film, so it’s not really an issue for me. I think the sort of “girl gamers” that Ashely mentions that would be offended wouldn’t be drawn to those sorts of games anyway.

It’s an interesting point – I think if anyone were to be offended by a little pixely nudity they should just get a life. I loved Rockstar’s approach to the matter – they included something for the ladies: a full-frontal man in one of the GTA4 downloads – the outraged male response to this cracked me up!

Curtis Takaichi,

I love sex in games regardless of how crappy they are. Which is why I like Gods Of War even more!

“As for “girl gamers” who are easy offended by a boob here and some ass there, you’re playing in a man’s world. What do you expect?”

Amen sister!

Speaking from a woman’s point of view, games are blatantly sexual. It’s something I’ve noticed ever since Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, as we first got acquainted with Shahdee via a view of her ass before her face.

That being said, when I installed my copy of Saboteur, I immediately went into the settings and chose to play the uncensored version. Why? A few flashed tits and some ass here and there does not bother me, even as a heterosexual female. Game censorship does.

While I agree that some games have relied solely on their sex appeal in order to appeal to the broader audience of male gamers, it seems the latest iteration of games which feature scantily clad women are at least doing so with more artistic direction than they were previously.

As for “girl gamers” who are easy offended by a boob here and some ass there, you’re playing in a man’s world. What do you expect?
