You said "getting it on" and I remembered this comic.

Anyway. Carry on.

That first game of hers was actually quite fun, when you got past that small town and established a proper porn studio.

I doubt it (but I can't be 100% sure, which version did you play?). I remember the sex scene you're talking about, but it's not that revealing, is it? The scene I'm thinking about actually showed stuff.

There were all kinds of naked girls in various magazines thrughout the hospital of Midnight Nowhere, damn that was some weird stuff.

Ofcourse it had absolutely nothing to do with the story. I guess developers were trying to hide how bad the game was... with pr0n.

Hey our game sucks! Here are some nude pictures of girl mutants! Buy our game!

If i never see such thing in AG again, it will be too soon.

I'm not talking about full graphic action, but just a hint of what was happening.
The underlying sexual tension is obvious and as these games are really more adult-oriented I don't think it would be too out of place.
I thought the sex scene in GK3 was very well handled, and so was the relationship between Grace and Gabe the whole game (and madelaine and mosely). It was enough, because you knew it happened, but it was tasteful. I didn't feel any need to actually see anything, especially after the
Spoiler:
vampire's visit
; if I had, my head might have exploded with mixed emotions (this cutscene is one of my favs ever). One thing I never got was what gabe saw "put him in the mood". I personally would have mm been a tad more freaked out, not aroused, but hey, I'm not the shattenjager am I? :eek:
The same with nico and george, any actual sex scenes between the two would seem gratuitous and cheapen the game.

So maybe some things are better left for the GK movie...

Shhh let me dream

Most definitely. Just like Giants: Citizen Kabuto.

I just picked that game up the other day, but haven't installed it yet. Are there different versions or something?

There's a topless version, Chris. And for the bra-wearing version, I think there was a patch you could download to take the bra off.

The American version covered up the nipples, and the European version had yellow blood. Apparently the patch covered both versions. It could remove or add the bra, and it could make the blood either red or yellow.

As for Adventure games containing adult themes,
there's also a game based upon the Druuna: Morbis Gravis comic.
Which is clearly the best game ever made (...in bizaro world that is)

Are there any games that handle this well? Badly?

We don't have to necessarily agree but, if we don't, like TV, we don't have to look.
Checking back to the starting post the point seemed to be whether erotica could appear in advnnture games without it being porn. That's where I was coming from. Putting it into a game just for titillation value chepened the game as a whole (and pushed it towards porn)

I have no problem with pornographic games but they're not for me. Pornographic games are as old as computers. There's even a site dedicated to the low-res 16 colour porn of the commodore 64 (I'll try to find the address later. I'm posting during lunch at work at the moment.)

There will always be a market for these games and they'll always be produced. But in a serious adventure game as much as a serious film it spoils it for me when these things are thrust in (if you'll pardon the phrase ) just to create a cheap attraction.

Rise of the Dragon.
When you visit the nightclub you meet a prostitute who offers you her services.But if you yes to her proposition you are caught redhanded by your girlfriend who get´s really pissed and dumps you on the spot.
And without her you won´t be able to complete the game.

Fahrenheit.
The censors removed the sex scene in the american version, but they kept the all the blood and violence intact.
Stupid american doublestandars.

No, they didn't. The developers removed the sex scene because they didn't like the rating the ESRB would have given it otherwise. It was a completely voluntary marketing decision.

(And having played both versions, I think it was a wise choice. The scene is gratuitious and kind of icky.)

The sexscene is kinda meaningless, but what upset me is that they had it removed in the us version, totally pointless.

Aha, the folks who made the game willingly removed the sex scene, otherwise it would have gotten a much higher age limit.
Kinda silly that americans are so sensitive to these things.You can have lots of violence in media, but sex and nudity are a no-no.

Maybe i´m getting a bit offtopic with my rant about censoship, let´s get back ontopic and discuss sex in adventure games.

I would like to see a game that included, as part of the character development, a couple meet, develop a relationship, and have a tastefully displayed sex scene, with or without full nudity.

If this does already exists, I haven't seen it yet.
