Which is better: Sex or Violence?
« on: April 19, 2009, 02:27:39 am »
Hmm....

I can't decide. From personal experience, I would much rather buy a shitty game with even the slightest premise of nudity than I would with extreme violence. Does that mean that for me, I prefer sex to violence? But I like violence too... and too much sex is boring...

Argh, which do you guys prefer? A society that prefers more violence or a society that prefers more sex?

Edit: When I mean sex, I don't mean sexualized characters or sexual undertones. I mean, graphic sex and nudity. So... it would be say... a comparison between... Sexy Beach 2 and Madworld?

I prefer violence, sexuality is nice and all but utter brutality has an appeal all its own.

And they CAN be mixed on top of that, best of both worlds.

It's obvious that I prefer sex in games
Than violence. After a few years I got resistant to sight of any violence. My sister started to say that its creepy watching me when a horror movie is on TV. I don't move I don't comment, I just occasionally laugh when someone is ripped to shreds. I'm pretty sure no man can get resistant to sex thou (Well, except sXe people. google it up. My bro is one)

It depends on how violent the violence is and how sexy the sex is.

I thought it was about how sexy the violence is and how violent the sex is.

usually I would say sex, but as we are talking about video games, and since most video games with sex in them are absolutely bad, I go with violence

Whatever is most appropriate in the context in which it's used. No point having boobs and blood for no reason, which many modern game developers seem to have a struggle realising.

As well, all the posts i've seen you make are flame posts, barely if at all constructive.

As said, it's entirely dependant on how it's presented. I'd prefer sexual-oriented content, provided it was portrayed in at least a moderately mature manner. Topless girls running around giggling and playfully wrestling for no reason other than simply trying to catch the player's attention? Piss off. Witcher-style option to shag contextually convincing promiscuous ladies? Sure, why the hell not? Throw in (also contextually convincing) nudity and I'd be all for it. A more mature view on sex, not LOL BUBBLIES BIKINI LADEHs shit.

If you're thinking more 'manhunt vs some hypothetical sex-based equivelant' then I'd still take the sex one. Sex is always more interesting than glass shards in the eye sockets.

Then, I never was one for violence. Make love (or failing love, porn) not war etc.

I prefer the irony. How something perfectly natural and expected is shunned while something criminal and evil is allowed.
