watermark 1 Posted August 17, 2015 I think sex in games is fine if that's the story you want to tell, and you warn people about it first so they won't get into awkward moments. "Sexing" the game has always been a major debate. While we always hear how it is discriminating, you can't help but notice that big game companies use sex to sell their games or other content. They post sexy images of leading females roles in promotional banners and posters to get more people to play their MMORPG or whatever. They make all the female characters in the game dress in skimpy bikinis. They give all the females awesome, divine bodies not possible in the real world. It's the same with anime as well in that every single mainstream, popular anime has the obligatory "onsen service" scene sometime. Can anyone name one chart topper anime that does not have that? I can't think of one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rinoazelda 287 Posted August 17, 2015 Sex in games...? Well, IMO I would enjoy it, but it depends how they got to the sex. I actually wanted to include a sex scene in my game (it makes sense, it's that after wedding thing). But one thing is sex in games and the other is sex games. If you're making a game that breaks the fourth wall, just tell the player: "No peek." and fade out the screen. It's not that good to see people doing it, when you could do it (if you're old enough).

dipping dots 68 Posted August 18, 2015 I have to say, usually sex scenes are completely useless. Even if portrayed well, I don't see how it could actually add to the story. Feel free to prove me wrong. I also agree with the idea that relationships in games are not only hard to write, but can be painfully awkward to the player. It sounds weird, but to me, getting a lap dance from a stripper in a game is much less awkward than a relationship in a game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It sounds weird, but to me, getting a lap dance from a stripper in a game is much less awkward than a relationship in a game. Well, think of it this way. Lets say the protagonist of the game is some low life criminal that does everything for money and doesnt give a damn (or more accurately, GTA characters) since they are not the nicest guys around, they find other way to be occupied. If i havent said this already, so long as it is used right in timing and "story wise" i believe it can work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dipping dots 68 Posted August 18, 2015 @UberMedic7 You mean like softening up an otherwised tough or emotionless character? I guess that would work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dipping dots 68 Posted August 18, 2015 Technically, yes. If it shows a change in character, such as the example above or say, a religious/moral guy getting exposed to sex, then it makes sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpookyMothman 361 Posted August 18, 2015 So, you're asking if sex is acceptable in a game. Well, people are going to have varied opinions and reactions based on what you do, how you do it, and how they interpret it. The real question is "What is your goal?" What is the purpose of such a scene? If you have it in there just to be provocative, then there isn't really a point. People might get upset about that. Even if you have a perfectly good reason for it, does the game as a whole really benefit from it? As much as I'd like to see sexuality be represented better and more maturely in games, I think it'd be best to leave it implied. Y'know, have a tender moment, then fade to black. That way, people who want to imagine that they have sex can do that, and you won't offend those who are either too young or too sensitive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rukiri 28 Posted August 18, 2015 It's Mr.Big-T all over again... Sure it's fine, but literally WARN people in the tile, in the topic multiple times, and even in game! You might want to even have a feature called birth year, if birth year is less than X then it will skip all those types of scenes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Number one thing kids lie about is "I'm over 18 and I'm mature enough for the incoming explicit scenes." Many would lie like myself so I can see them(yeah, I'm weird like that) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lonequeso 1,921 Posted August 18, 2015 Is it acceptable? Sure. Necessary? Not really. The Sims is the only game I've played where it was a necessary element. (I'm assuming the question excludes porn games) Does it add to the story? That's lot more gray. That's something that has to be determined on game-by-game basis. Even then you can argue either point. Personally, I think it added the Dragon Age series. Relationships played a large part in how the story progressed. Realistically, some of those relationships would be romantic. Having sex in the game gave those relationships some depth. Now take GTA 5. I'm 50/50 on that. On one hand, the game was designed to give the player as much freedom as possible and interact with the world is as many ways as possible as realistically as possible. Sex is a part of that. On the other hand, the sex was superficial. There was very little depth to any relationship you formed. Yes, you could go on a date, but those were incredibly simple "missions" Pick girl up. Take girl to location. Play some from of mini-game or sit and watch a movie. There was no reward for doing it, so I felt it was a waste of time. Whether or not you want or like having sex in a game is simply a matter of personal preference and opinion. There is one absolute guarantee. Putting sex in a game will create controversy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gunsage 161 Posted August 20, 2015 The problem is when you go to "set move route" there isn't a sex option. There is a "turn up" option, however, so I think I'll use that and make my characters all have a party. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You might want to even have a feature called birth year, if birth year is less than X then it will skip all those types of scenes. That's a good idea, you could do fadeouts etc. when age is less than X otherwise make put full scenes.

About the 'way' of doing this in game, I could suggest making pictures (show picture command) and drawing/putting some scenes or whatever.
