So, in general, it's about what the story requires. Heavy Rain's sex was also adequate for the story. I found the sex in Phantasmagoria 2 fun and perfectly adequate. I did not find the scene to be shock value at all, I think it was a very smart way to state how serious the situation really was. That scene in the game was the first scene that really had me sweating in agony, and from that point it was a rollercoaster that did not stop. It made me feel awful about Adrienne and about her marriage, which we had seen them so happy, so recently. I found the rape scene in Phantasmagoria to be extremely powerful. I also dislike it when it's distasteful: For example, even when in both Larry and God of War women you happen to come across hot babes to have sex with, I find that Larry is a bit more respectful towards women than God of War is.
For the most part, you don't hurt anyone with sex.Īs for it being included in games, like BT said, it depends on if it's needed or not. I don't understand why violence is ok but sex isn't. Where the Davidsons and the Media right? Or were they being too prudish? The reporter seeing he wouldn't get Roberta to say anything controversial got up, stopped the interview and walked off in a huff. Roberta said first the game was designed for adults, secondly, the game had parent controls allowing dutiful parents to remove the violence and sex from the game, if they were playing it around children. He wondered if she knew it would have an influence on the youth. One account goes that a reporter came to Roberta to ask her about her thoughts and why she put violence and sex into the video games. They felt that Ken and Roberta were out to corrupt the world's youth through Sierra's video games.Īt the same time Phantasmagoria received much criticism from various religious groups and the media for its depiction of sex, rape, and violence. Please don't post any screenshots from these games as examples.īack in 1996 several individuals at Sierra including Bob and Jan Davidson felt that the violence and sex in Sierra games such as Phantasmagoria and Leisure Suit Larry was too much. What do you feel about modern sex scenes or nudity in games such as God of War series?
How do you feel about the Leisure Suit Larry series, and or the sex/rape in Phantasmagoria series?
