I really, truely, dislike the fact that there are so many porno demons in this game.
Really, it's a little upsetting.
I understand, I'm going to get flamed by a bunch of 40 year old perverts,
I just wish there was a way to toggle it off.
Like blurring it out, or something of the like.
It's tremendously uncomfortable for my girlfriend and I when I'm sitting there playing, her watching, I have to go save somebody and then all of a sudden, BAM. Porno Demon.
Then, i have to go to some lair, then once again, BAM. Tree Porno Demon.
It's unnerving.
I hate how women are so exploited, On television, in videogames, on tags, magazines, ect.
It's truely demeaning towards women, and almost premotes taking advantage of women.
No, I don't want it to be switched over to men, that wouldn't solve a damn thing.
I know there are many who actually enjoy such things, and then go beat it (shortly after, or during said porno demon encounters).
But, I for one do not.
I would PAY to have some kind of dlc that prevented the porno demons from taking over my screen.
Speaking as a woman, I think you protest too much. I agree with the poster who suggested there might be deeper issues involved here if a little nudity offends you while sitting next to your girlfriend. Why would that make you uncomfortable? Hell, every time one of those nifty looking characters comes on my screen, i turn and show my boyfriend how cool it looks.
That said - the game clearly states the reason for its M rating on the box. Among other things, partial nudity and sexual content.
I, for one, think the demons are beautiful. I think a
desire demon
should appear sexual. I LOVE how the Lady of the Forest looks. I think they did a great job. No, I am not bisexual, and yes, I very much like men. Nothing wrong with appreciating the splendor that is a beautiful woman.
Exactly how is any of this
demeaning to women, anyway? To be quite honest, I think our sexuality and sensuality is part of our power as women. It by no means promotes taking advantage of women - anyone who thinks that has a very warped view of reality. That's akin to saying a woman asked for it if she does get taken advantage of. The problem is not nudity, or female sexuality. The problem is people who think that's something shameful.
Like others said, if the overt sexuality makes you uncomfortable, then don't play. They warned you, but you didn't listen.
