Despite amazing gameplay, graphics, and story, one of the most remembered scenes in the first God of War game was the infamous sex minigame. The goal was simple: Make the proclaimed protagonist complete his off-screen climax by hitting the correct sequence of buttons. Well here's another one in God of War 2 that's even better than the first scene.
I won't ruin the surprise, but it's much more wet than the other one. I predict STDs play a vital role in the upcoming sequel, perhaps the Blades of Chaos will be replaced with the Blades of Chlamydia. Play it yourself when God of War 2 comes out on in stores on March 13 for the PlayStation 2.

But seriously, stuff like this annoys me. I'm not sure I understand the need for other guys to get all horny and worked up while playing as Kratos. I play action games for action, not for some stupid incredibly soft core interactive 'porn.' It has no relevance to gameplay, and isn't funny or entertaining in the least.
But thats just me, and since many people here are horny guys, I guess I'll get flamed. But whatever.
The difference between M and AO is that to get the AO rating you need to search through lines of code to find an exception to the given rating, and then you hire an anal retentive lawyer to do your dirty work thusly giving birth to the both magical and awe-inspiring rating that is Adults Only. Adults Only is a rating that is cleverly spelled out in the most literally way possible and then ingeniously turned into an acronym, doing away with the highly unnecessary "dults nly" so retailers may take the pleasure of explaining to Air-head McSoccermom that it is indeed for mature audiences, despite the fact that she'll buy it so she won't have to listen her precious hell-spawn throw a tantrum over it.
As far as I'm concerned M and AO have no discernible differences. Its all just a ruse to please people who could completely avoid the issue had they just had the neural functions read the box before buying.
This doesn't really seem all that exploitative for what it is. It's some boobs and then it pans away to the most generic use for a peeing cherub (see the masterpiece that is Austin Powers or any other dumbass "comedy"). I don't think any mature adult male is gonna rub one off to this amateurish level of "Tittilation"(well...mature has to mean a LOT in this case).
Beyond that, you guys are the types that the ESRB or MPAA hire to voice their opinions of "right" and "wrong" and whether it's suitable for my or anyone else's consumption. 17+ is on the box, and any 17 year old who can't handle some pixeltits needs to take a fuckin' sex ed course and grow the fuck up!
Damn right Zeke. This is why I'm glad I never worked game retail. People don't take responsibility for their actions and stupid decisions, and the M/AO rating difference is close to pointless. I still can't believe a mod like "Hot Coffee" was able to get a game reclassified as AO.
And splam said it perfectly. If you don't like it, don't play it. If you like the action, but can do without the sex, just avoid the sex.
Now, if only there were laws that said if you chose to watch it, or chose not to research the content, then someone smart enough should keep them from talking to crazies like Jack T or must outraged parents' groups.
I think that if someone really wanted to look at porn, the internet is a lot easier place to find it then in a game. Yet I doubt anyone will try banning the internet. The only thing missing from the video is porn music playing in the background.
I don't think guys play this game to see digital boobies. There's other games for that! Plus you don't even get to take their clothes off! I think its amusing, eh.
So Kratos lasts a whole 30 seconds? Way to go stud. The ladies didn't seem too disappointed though. Of course, if I were getting banged by a sociopath known for killing women and children indiscriminately, I'd probably fake an O too.
Close, he's a DC character (one of Superman's villians) named Mr. Mxyzptlk. Since people ask me about three times a week, you pronounce it "Miks-yez-pit-lik". Basically he's a sorcerer from another dimension that happens to be a complete dick.
Don't know the source of the original artwork (I know it's not the original DC trading card series, since I have a complete set of that), but it's a slightly cropped version of this:
Fun Fact nobody but me cares about: Mxyzptlk has been portrayed by Frank Welker and Gilbert Gottfried in animated form, and Michael J. Pollard, Howie Mandel, and Trent Ford in live-action.
Oh, I don't want anyone to get me wrong, I was just provoking discussion on AO and M.
I love tits just as much as anyone else and am psyched to see that gamers can finally receive content that matches their age. I say kudos to GoW for even doing it. So please, don't mistake me for an ESRB troll or a religious right nut job.
It's awesome just because the concept. Not that we're all horny teens, but right after you rip skeletons apart, cleave some guys, impale a hydra's face on a ship, kill an innocent sailor, and then declare your quest against the God of War, you top it all off by porking some random hos. If that's not manly and awesome, I don't know what is.
Amen, Robert. Amen. All thats left to do is shotgun a 30 case of Ice House, and smoke a whole pack of cigarettes at once, while eating an entire raw cow.

I'm not a prude by any stretch of the imagination, but where does an M rating stop and an AO rating begin? Viewable penetration?

Only I and Buddha knew that, but we wanted to share the secret.

My bad.
