I'm not gonna make this long because the last cblog I did was read by almost no one

anyway my opinion on sex in video games is that it's not a big deal, oh sure I could write long paragraphs about the philosophicalness (a new word I just invented) of it, but instead I'll just say this

the first time I ever saw nudity in a video game was the original God of War almost 5 years ago

I remember my mind was blown, I literally couldn't believe I was seeing bare boobs in a mainstream video game (I'm referring of course to the ladies that Kratos has on his bed near the beginning of the game)

up until then nudity was a major taboo in video games, it just wasn't done, nudity was for those Japanese porn games, not good ole Christian American games! the most you might see is someone's ass in a thong



God of War pretty much broke that taboo thankfully, these days you can show boobs in a video game and the world wont end, the fact that Indigo Prophecy covered nudity in sometimes Austin Powers style ways and now it's followup Heavy Rain doesn't speaks a lot about how gaming has matured

but wait a minute, before I ever saw a pair of breasts in a video game I had seen tons of bloodshed and violence, I distinctly remember playing Metal Gear Solid 2 (one of the first M-rated games I played) and being shocked at shooting an enemy in the head and seeing blood splatter on the wall next to him, today that's something I wouldn't even blink at

I had also ran over a bunch of pedestrians in Grand Theft Auto 3 and laughed at the squishing sounds they made

which brings me to the next point, it's a gigantic cliche to say this, but Americans seem to be more offended by sex than violence, I just thinks it's backwards that violence was long accepted in games, but sex is just recently being accepted

I mean look back at Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, it was controversial over the violence of course, but what was the thing that resulted in the game being all but banned? that's right Hot Coffee, a "minigame" that wasn't intended to be in the final game and contained no nudity, only robo humping and was in an M-rated game anyway, resulted in people acting like Barney had had just cockslapped a bunch of kids

ok my final point is that we should be mature enough to accept that sex is a part of life and thus a large part of entertainment and not have our monocles pop out when a game dares to show a pair of boobies or robo humping

I have a dream, that one day there will be a Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 and in it the DOA gals will walk around with their gigantic boobies free for all to see and it will not cause gigantic controversy and riots in the streets, it will be glorious
