It's hard enough to pull off a non-tacky love scene or showing a bond between two lovers in a movie with real actors and world class directors. More games do them awful than those that do them well and I'd argue only a handful of games have really nailed romance / relationship scenes.
The movie watching scene between Jackie and Jenny in The Darkness is still better than just about every other game out there.

@OP: I´m sorry if this was asked before (I didn´t read all of the 8 pages): If you could have written the "love-scene" how would you have made it look like?
I ask out of honest curiosity. No offence ment.
I more or less asked the same question. He opens up his OP with how tasteless and tacky Miranda and Jacob love scenes are. Then never says what he would of found more tasteful and less tacky. So you basically have no idea what he expected from the Miranda and Jacob love scene. Only thing he points out is how much he hated the hip grinding and her whispering in his ear. Again I have the same question you asked as well. How did you expect that scene to go?
Well... it is a very personal question. ("errr... how do you prefer to f*** people?" lol) And reading the comments I notice one thing: everybody has a different opinion of taste and believes that everybody else shares it.

I hope the dialogue is better then some of what was present in ME2. (I was actually a bit traumatized by Femshep and Jacob "the priize" Tyler). I also hope that the LIs does not come across as broken things that needs to be completed by Shepard.
It would have been nice with more tasteful nudity. (but its not going to happen since some people are afraid of skin, scales or whatever) It seems we always get rather tasteless nudity (witcher 2 was a bit too sexist in its stereotypical way for my taste) or no nudity at all.

It's hard to watch it because it's cheesy and the animation is stiff.

I kinda agree. ME2's love scenes were awful. I always thought ME1's were tasteful and artsy, ME2's were dumbed down and ultimately were not romantic imo.
I agree with the sentiment, but while the ME1 scenes were more tasteful (for the most part, some of them were rather sweet in ME2) they were also generic for everyone and not LI specific.
Although in my personal opinion miranda's LI scenes kinda made shep sound like a creeper at best.

No you misunderstand me. I do not want them to be more vulgar. I want them to either do fade to black. (GOD I MISS FADE TO BLACK) or get rid of them entirely.
Plus. I've been on the internet long enough to know where to get my own pornography. Thank you very much.

I agree. The one in ME1 with Ash or Liara was much more tasteful and didn't feel out of place. No doubt someone will misconstrue that as 'omg I want more pr0nz!' but it is what it is. In any case, DA2 did pretty well in this regard.
Even with the tacky 'love' scenes, I felt romances as a whole were off in ME2. You mean, the only way I can continue getting to know someone is to declare that I'm in love with them?
Agreed, sort of. I thought that the love scenes in DA2 were just kind of weird, but the romance did feel real. I did however love everything about the ME1 love scenes and I enjoyed three of the ME2 ones (Garrus, Tali, Jack), the others seemed really forced, but maybe that's because I didn't really care for Mirranda, Thane, or Jacob (actually I hated Jacob).

They are cheesy and stupid. They're a bunch of pixels humping each other for almost 3 minutes. What more explanation is necessary? I understand that this is suppose to be the climax of the relationship but I do think Bioware can do a better job than 3 minutes of pixel porn.AgitatedLemon wrote...
I'm not even going to bother continuing. You still haven't explained why you hate them as much as you do. If I were to ask you'd just say that they're cheesy and stupid.
Also, what the hell is your problem? Was it necessary to be hostile?
I was no more hostile than you. You came in told me how petty my concerns were, while misrepresenting my argument. I deflect once and you think I'm attacking you? Is all of BSN like this?
Over exaggeration. The sex scenes are almost as long as ME1 and they usually fade to black rather quickly. If you think this is actual animated porn then you haven't been on the internet too long or even watched much TV. This is barely R rated movie material.
Bioware has been doing romance in many of their games. The sex scenes aren't needed just like how romances aren't needed but are their to show where their relationship has culminated in. Its there because it is part of the romance. It isn't porn and to call it porn is just stupid (sorry) sometimes its corny and cheesy to most people but then again if it is so unimportant then why bother watching the 30 seconds of hugging, kissing and maybe some grinding then fade to black? Just skip it if is so unimportant to you.
If it offends you then the only thing we at BSN are going to say to you is deal with it.
I don't even think it's R rated. There is no nudity, and most of them don't contain profanity.

They're hardly PG-13. ME1 was somewhat closer to R, but still incredibly tame.
It might have been incredibly tame, but it was still beautiful. Everything about thos scenes worked, though it would have worked better with ME2/ME3 level graphics.

Is it really THAT big a deal?
They're all virtually PG-13.
How are you still not understanding me?
I don't think they are vulgar.
I dont want them to be more "sexier"
I just find them lame. Cheesy. Tacky. tasteless. How else do I put this....?
I as making 2 separate points, I just failed at wording it correctly.
Again, is it THAT big a deal? A big enough deal to want them gone?
You can-
1. Skip the cutscene
2. Close your eyes.
3. Not romance someone
4. Pursue a romance with a non-tacky romance culmination.
Never could understand this argument.
You can-
1. go out and have a real-life romance.
2. read 1 over again.
Not sure why it HAS to be in the game.
Maybe because you're not the only person on planet earth and what you are saying is an unpopular sentiment. Maybe, just maybe. It's much easier for the few people who don't like the romance scenes to skip or avoid them then for the massive amount of ME fans that do to not have the option to even have them at all.
You're just being irrational and narcisstic. Go back to your bridge.

Mostly, I play Femshep, and she remains loyal to Kaidan, so no humping for her!
Maybe, just maybe, I might try Ash out...... (I liked that message from her sister that said Kaidan was "cute", and her statements were nice "Scuttlebutt says he's sweet on someone else.")
And slightly Off-Topic, but there are mods for DA:O that make the sex scenes rather nice. Unlike Mass Effect, which doesn't formally allow modding.
Cheers!

I must admit. My first post must have some sort of hidden meaning I am unable to detect. Why does everyone think that my post is about how vulgar the scenes are? I don't find them vulgar at all. nor do I think it's porn.
"Pixel porn" line was just a joke. it's obviously not porn and I don't think anyone honestly gets off to that sort of thing. However, I do think that the scenes are badly done. They don't have to be completely nude, or fade to black to be done well. Or artfully. I think Bioware needs to rely on suggestive telling for those scenes instead of showing us everything. When I watch the Miranda Sex scene, I do not think it's the relationship being culiminated. I think it's the fanservice. The Developers slapped together a sex scene so some little teenage wanker can get off. I don't find it particularly well done.
Finally, what is with this "just ignore it". I thought this was a forum, where we discuss topics and ideas. If this topic bothers you. then YOU just ignore it.
You obviously haven't heard of rule 34, or that guy who was arrested in the Hotwheels section of a Walmart.

@Daeel also what humping?
Tali scene: Kissing no humping.
Garrus: headbump no humping.
Miranda: Kissing some grinding.
Jack: Kissing some grinding.
Jacob: Jacob shows off his Goku chest and Shepard makes out with him.
Ashley: Side boob and kissing.
Kaidan: look above.
Liara: Same thing but you see a blue butt.
You forgot
Thane: Kissing no humping.

Am I the only one who can't get through the Love scene in Mass effect 2? I always skip. Always. I just tested my theory again by youtubing Miranda Sex scene and I only got to the 7th second. the whisper "excuse me captain" was enough to set me off.
Not in that way
It's not that I'm a prude or anything. It's just these scenes are tasteless.
I know whats going to happen at the end, she's going to grind on his pelvic bone in engineering and It's really hard to watch. Do people actually enjoy watching this?
and Jacob's is worse. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse.
Those are the two worse scenes, IMO.
The others were good.
Eh, Thane's was kind of boring. Though maybe it's because I didn't really care for the character. I didn't dislike him, he just didn't wow me.

Oh yeah.
Thane: Fist vs Table.
Table wins.
Consolation prize?
Shepard kisses him no humping.
