Wow
oo: this is the first thread that I heard that DOESN'T want to add nudity in a video game!
oo: That's the first time I heard someone say that they DON'T want nudity in a video game!
At the moment from what i've seen, heard, and been told gaming is crossing barriers that starts to get on people's nerves. I believe it was Death Race that started things off with violence in games gravitating towards Doom and Mortal Kombat. At that point it was decided video games needed some regulation and sadly things have spiraled out of control from there on. People still blame video games for the Columbine Massacre and for every teenager/child that commits a dangerous act. Heck I read a story where a 16 year old's defense was "I stole that motorcycle and ran a highspeed chase because I could do it in Grand Theft Auto" touching off another flame war.
The next barrier seems to be sixuality in gaming where it has slowly grown from pixelated material to almost 3D realistic renditions. Concerning the "Hot Coffee" mod it's really hard to say anything about that matter. Developers seemed to have done a bad thing and under a time crunch disabled it making it suitable for release. However on the other hand a talented little "so and so" decided to reinsert the coding necessary to activate that portion of the game. At that point it was considered a "Sin in Gaming" to some, but to others it was a simplistic step pushing the boundary forward.
With Fallout 3 I found the amount of sixual content to be lacking and yet perfect for a post-apocalyptical style future coming from the 1950's. Little timmy was told to "Go to his room" to play with his toys while mommy and daddy "pvssyd". Now what happened in DC was COMPLETELY different form what you would see in Sin City since well it was Sin City. It could be considered the monopolizing state for Gambling, Brothels, Showgirls, Bars, and what have you.
In Fallout New Vegas i've stated what I expect to see, but here's a bit more elaborate description:
Casinos
1. Love to see some old west style joints where you have poker tables setup and a bar in the back for buying your drinks. Maybe have a juke box in the corner playing some tunes from the great singers of the Rat Pack and all. *Wouldn't be adversed to hearing Don't Want To Set The World On Fire* "hint hint"
2. Large establishments where you have roulette wheels, slot machines, and poker tables. These places may or may not have a center stage with show girls dancing away. Maybe have the casino deal in gold and you take your earnings to the desk to transfer into caps.
3. Back Alley craps with some shady folks who have a 25% chance to turn on you for "Cheating" if you win too many times.
The Strip
1. Reputable strip joint with dancing girls where you can pay to get a dance. After that you can stay or leave it is your call, but if you want your money back ya gotta steal it or kill.
2. Little dive places with a bar in it that has show girls dancing away in naughty nightwear. Not talking bear naked here, but something to give you some entertainment.
3. Back Alley...houses i'll say like the old west days where you could get a cheap drink and a good woman for the right price. Would work like Megaton where you rent out Nova, but you see a small cut-scene that concludes with a fadeout as you get "Busy".
By doing things just right you don't need huge elaborate scenes that make the censors go hog wild saying "WHY DID YOU MAKE THIS?" Sadly to some even pokemon is a dangerous game because it teaches the wee ones about summoning demonic creatures and converting to satanism. That and Harry Pottery is banned because one of the characters is revealed to be...happy towards the same six.
