(Se)X-box. Yeah, haven’t heard that before…
This is ridiculous.
Remember when I referenced the controversial sex scene in Mass Effect? It was this older post, and I was actually second guessing the decision to post about it. Is this REALLY a major concern? Am I overstating things and blowing this all out of proportion?
Gogo Fox News! Take note that this segment is likely inspired by the recent hubub over some comments by a certain Kevin McCullough. Mr. McCullough basically misrepresented the role of sex in Mass Effect and… well, I’ll just point you to his mea culpa as hosted by Kotaku. Even better is this Penny-Arcade strip.
THIS is the type of knee-jerk bullshit we’re going to have to deal with if we want video games to be taken seriously. I’ve played Mass Effect, and its amazing. Easily the most epic sci-fi RPG I’ve ever laid eyes on. To its credit, its probably one of the most mature games I’ve every played.
Not mature like Leisure Suit Larry or The Guy Game “hehe titties” style of mature. Or GTA violence for violence sake mature. But mature as in intelligent, gripping, and engaging. Oh, and its pretty fun too.
