It's been a long time since the beginning of video games and yet, no nudity? Look at Dragon Age. They incorporated this "romance" system that also shows glimpses of certain sex positions but without nudity. What's the point of it in the first place? it's a real disappointment for the adult video gaming community.
 
I just find this amusing; Games are designed, programmed, written and developed by adults and receive treatment as if it's for kids only.

Cause porn is less mass marketable 
Also, I'm fine with games as they are

Several years after NC-17 movies are allowed by movie theaters.

Wait for Heavy Rain....

Because in video games shooting people's heads off is okay but sex isn't. That's just how it is and is going to be for a LONG time.
 
People are just uncomfortable with the accessibility of video games and fear the influence it has on our lives. I personally think, if everyone just was WAY more open about everything, like talked it out with each other, the world would be much better. But that's basically a utopia.

It's so absurd that extreme violence is OK, and sex isn't. That's completely fucking backwards.

Because the AO rating is a death knell for a game. You can't even get those games into retail stores.

Or are you asking when M rated games are going to start including content comperable to R rated movies?

No one wants to see digital nudity its just weird.

i can confirm that there is nudity but im not linking it on here because i dont think we are aloud to link websites with porn. i could pm it.

" No one wants to see digital nudity its just weird. "

All has to do with culture. Its ridiculous you can shoot someone's head off but not a show a boob as that's not "acceptable"...but that's just how it is. Our culture, and sadly...its going to be a long time till it changes.

Doesn't God of War feature boobies all the time?

i am OK with portrayals of violence, but virtual sex is for creepers.

There have been games with bare breasts etc. but games aren't going to go any further (or probably even as far) as R-rated movies do. It's just not something anybody can sell after that point.

If you want more nudity why don't you watch some porn? 
 
I don't play games for thirty second pornographic clips.  I'm more concerned with actual depth in gameplay and story than watching two robot sim looking things bump and grind.

My point is, they shouldn't restrict nudity as it can be used for many reasons in a video game; realistic portrayal of a story, art etc. Nudity and porn are two different things. "

It's because the western video game industry is largely focused at the US market - And Americans are prudes.

That's probably going to be banned in some countries, despite it showing only a brief moment of nudity (assumed). "

Expecting America to find nudity OK is hoping for the impossible.

I calling fake since i have seen the video but you are allowed to post mature content if  to do with video games. "

It still baffles me that no one called out or even seems to remember the sex scene from Mafia. It was tasteful, but it definitely showed everything, and that game was still rated M (it was probably memorable to me because it came out of nowhere, I was younger, and I'd never really seen a game come out and show it before). Given that example, it seems that any game should be able to show a blatant sex scene and still come away with an M rating. I mean, after all, if you've already got the M rating, you might as well put it to good use. I'm an adult; and while I'm not saying that I'm looking for porn in my video games (if I want that, I'll go look at some actual porn, or even better...), it seems retarded that pretty much every sex scene in the industry is some cutaway, fadetoblack, implied bullshit, when in movies and even some TV shows, sex has been a norm for quite some time.
 
I believe Bioware stated that the decision to cut away at sex scenes was an artistic choice. The only way I can really believe that is when I think about just how shitty a sex scene in the Dragon Age engine would look. It does make sense not to include something that it seems no game engine can do properly (though I've seem a fair many that can do an okay job, but they're all purpose-built for it).

Because children (People...not over 18, like the game specifies) will still pick it up.

Children will still pick up porn. Children will still pick up movies. Children will still pick up comic books, listen to music, use the internet. Part of being a parent is deciding how long to keep your kids away from that kinda stuff. If you're ignoring the label warnings, you aren't a good parent, and at that point, who cares? "

Good attitude to have. "

Its pretty crazy to see the amount of M rated games these days compared to like 6 years ago. I think as the average gamer age continues to go up, we might see  Adult only games appear at some point. Maybe not in stores, but via Digital, or ordering them from a site.

God of War has had nudity for a long time.

They have games like that....but since stores wont sell them general developers have no reason to want to go past Mature if they want games to sell.

I was also let down by this, the M for mature with the adult content warning made it sound really bad when infact I would let my little brother play no problem, its like lord of the rings with some cartoon blood. I was expecting tons of cursing, nudity, and really hardcore gore. It was very exagerated how "adult" and "dark" the game was and I wish we all could just grow up. The content of M rated games should emcompass all and everything that is in an R rated movie, and it should be no big deal. Somehow I think the ratings board would give half the R rated movies an AO rating.

I thought the 12 rated in the UK sex scene in mass effect was  more mature than the 18+ fuck-girls-for-orbs  minigame in  God of war... 
 
I just dont see why gore, language and sex = 18+/Mature
