YES, posting 4chan like motivational pics in a serious discussion is really mature!

I agree with most people in here, sure Bioware downplayed it but if Bioware downplayed them to give the game more story... I will take it 10 times over than have a more MATURE scene.

I love how many people are still taking this discussion out of context! "Oh, you're upset because they took out nudity so you must just want to ******! You don't care about character development or good games - you just want porn! Nyeehhhh!"
Holy CHRIST you people are stupid! Grow up already!

It's kinda funny that this topic keeps coming up over and over again. People who claim to be old enough and mature enough to handle sex and nudity in a game seem to believe that any lack of sex and nudity in the game is a sign of self-censorship. They generally don't believe that a game can be called "mature" without explicit sex and/or nudity.
Let me tell you, folks, that as a developer full of mature individuals, we are also free to not have explicit sex and/or nudity in our games, no matter what you, Fox News, the government, or Bunky the Wonder Clown has to say about it. We have never considered it a "problem," it is simply a choice we have made and we have every right to make that choice.
Sure, if being a hypocrite is "win".bassmunkee wrote...

Let's keep the politics out of the discussion, please. Eavh region will have its own laws, cultural bias, and tolerances, and this discussion tends to put people on the defensive. This leads to arguments that we'd rather not have on our forums.drkl0rd2000 wrote...
I don't think we need nudity in movies either, oh lets remove violence in games and movies too. Lets next censor news media so that they can no longer show war footage on broadcast T.V.
To the original point of this post, I find it sad that in the "land of the free" that we allow such a twisted set of views. We americans have no problem allowing our 13 year old son to play GTA with the cop shooting, prostitute beating, robbing houses and car jacking. But put in a TASTEFUL plot device such as the wonderful gift of love making(MASS EFFECT 1) between two characters who have developed a relationship with each other and parents flip and the media wants to burn the producers alive.You are absolutely correct. It is not our job to parent the child or determine what content is acceptable or unaceptable for our players. But on the other hand, it is not your jobe to dictate what content we include or don't include in our games. Game development is not a collaborative effort between developers and gamers; it is a dictatorship, where we alone determine what content goes into our game. You the player make the choice whether that content is acceptable to you (and/or your family) or not.Seriously game Devs need to grow some nads, it the game is rated M then let the rating speak for itself, it is NOT your job to parent the child. If the actual parents lack that ability and decide to use media to parent the child then perhaps they should invest in any number of parents for dummies books out there that might help them!!!

Personally I blame Stanley Woo, in a lot of the responses I've read by him he seems to have issues with sex and nudity. I can picture him starting somekind of protest in the office to have the love scenes toned down. "But that is just my personal opinion, no need to go spreading it around."

Wow - so we have Miranda's aerodynamic ****** and ass, Tali's hips, Kelly's silly strip-tease in full crimsom spandex, Samara's cleavage, Jacob's ripped body, etc, which all reeks of sex because sex sells. And then we have explosions, blood, murder, etc. but oh no explicit nudity because that's just not what we wanted.
I wonder what did Bioware want? The sexuality portrayed in ME2 is cheap (and not all that cheerful) as well as arguably vulgar - a wide departure from the artistic and tastefully portrayed almost-nudity of ME1. Who is Stanley Woo kidding?
