Take a look at Leisure Suit Larry, there's a small amount of porn in that game, but you keep playing for the humor and getting laid.

Pornography itself is not lustful (maybe excluding hardcore sex), it's only how the indiviual looks upon it that determines whether or not it is a "sin" for that individual. Actually, according to dictionary.reference.com, the definition of pornography is: 1.Sexually explicit pictures, writing, or other material whose primary purpose is to cause sexual arousal. Therefore, not all nudity is porn, but all porn is lustful and sinful. So, to make myself clear, not all nudity is sinful. Showing pictures of people who are naked due to lack of money for buying clothes, with the intent of invoking compassion, is not sinful. However, from what I've heard, and from reviews I've read, that is quite often NOT what video games are trying to make you feel when showing nudity. Give me an example of a game where nudity is not used for sexual purposes (which means it has to be presented in a way that is not drawing attention to sexuality) and I'll say that I've changed my mind and that nudity in video games is not all bad. P.S. It has to be HUMAN nudity. No jokes about nudity in Sonic or games with nude animals. Originally posted by DarkHyrenOriginally posted by bignatealphaThat's an opinion.

Stuff the dictionary. Any and all nudity can cause "sexual arousal", but it doesn't mean that it's porn.
And that proves my point really, nudity in video games (with the exception of porn / hentai games) main primary purpose is not to cause sexual arousal. I'm not even sure what games even have any human nudity in them except maybe something like Leisure Suit Larry, Playboy Mansion or porn games (in other words games meant to be dirty, don't like them don't play them). Ok, I looked some up. Dead Rising: The guy has a naked chick on his shirt. Oh no, the horror From Wikipedia: "Almost no North American video games display full frontal nudity (with the exception of Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned)" Wow, a game for thugs that expect and want that stuff is one of the few with human nudity. Go figure. There is nudity in Conan: the Barbarian and God of War, but it's mostly a cultural thing for the characters in game. Quick List of Other Games: Mass Effect: it was one optional scene that didn't last very long. Custard's Last Stand: Atari 2600 game, pixelated nudity And that proves my point really, nudity in video games (with the exception of porn / hentai games) main primary purpose is not to cause sexual arousal.

From what I understand, there's a naked woman that is hidden on a wall in Assassins Creed. |

That has never made sense to me. If I want to see boobies I'll go look up boobies on google or something. I'm not going to play a game to see cartoon boobies.

As you said one can just use google to look up pictures, so it's not like it's a big thing if a game has a random bit of breast.

fair enough I guess.... and while in my mind seeing nudity on the package of a regular video game wouldn't make me more inclined to buy it... I know that there are some people out there that would buy it.
And if the game is violent enough already then it's probably got a "mature" rating that a minor amount of nudity isn't going to affect and will result in a few more possible purchases. Still think it's silly though And if the game is violent enough already then it's probably got a "mature" rating that a minor amount of nudity isn't going to affect and will result in a few more possible purchases.

I think gore is a lot worse than nudity, honestly. While neither necessarily belongs in a children's game, if it's just nudity (Topic title said said nudity, not sex! There is a difference!), then I don't get the big deal.
Shooting a gun in a game doesn't make a kid a killer, so seeing boobs won't make it a rapist, if you catch my drift. And what kid/teen/adult hasn't seen it before? That's not to say that just because something is frequent that it must also be good, but I mean, nudity really presents no novelty to anyone. (If it did, it would be the type of people that don't play games to begin with ) All has to follow in measures. I mean, there are obviously games that should not show any nudity whatsoever, but if there is the one or other, it does not really make it a bad game. I'd say the important thing is that you know what you buy, ergo avoid surprises. Shooting a gun in a game doesn't make a kid a killer, so seeing boobs won't make it a rapist, if you catch my drift.

Well, in any form of media there are three ways to portray nudity: artistically, nonchalantly, and as porn. People get these mixed up a lot because it's used in a sexual context so often in modern times the line between the three categories has been blurred.
Pornography is morally wrong, and thusly nudity in a sexual context, as pornography, is wrong. Portraying nudity "nonchalantly," as though it doesn't even matter, is also acceptable. This could be, for example, in the case of Robinson Crusoe, who's been alone for so long and has had his clothes destroyed so often that nudity wouldn't make any difference to him. Basically, you're naked, but you don't feel or act any differently than you would while clothed. Artistic nudity can be problematic, because depending on how you portray it or what your definition of "artistic" is you can easily end up branching into pornography. Often this overlaps with "nonchalant" nudity, so that it wouldn't matter. However, it's also often considered "artistic" to pose people in a position that would be considered sexual and therefore pornographic. Some people are OK with doing artistic nudity, while other people should stay away just to be safe. I saw someone bring up Jesus in here, so let me explain my views of public nudity from a Christian perspective: all of the animals of God's creation are naked. Originally, we were created that way. In Genesis, the first book of the Bible, it explicitly states that Adam and Eve were naked, and weren't ashamed of it: nonchalant nudity. Now, what were Adam and Eve kicked out of Eden for? Sinning. Thus, the logical conclusion is that if nudity in front of another is a sin, they would have been kicked out before. This belief can be debunked, however, by pointing out that Adam and Eve were technically "married," with or without a priest there to say. Thus, one could say it was OK in their case. However, when God met with Adam later, he knew that Adam had sinned because Adam was covering himself with fig leaves. Why would God associate sin with the clothed body? I think I know why: it's because sin is founded off a desire to improve upon God's creation rather than build off of it. Adam ate of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil because he wanted to be better than God had created him. He also hid the body God had given him, I think, for the same purpose. But that's mostly speculation on my part. Now here's where it starts to get interesting: jumping a few thousand years into the future, I remember one Bible passage where Jesus takes off his robe and, naked before his disciples, washes their feet. If being naked in front of other people were sinning, Jesus certainly wouldn't have done it, or he would have asked if they were comfortable with him doing it first. Some people have made similar logical connections about Jesus being naked on the cross, but in reality he was forced to be naked, so it made no difference either way as nudity was not his choice. There are a few other passages that suggest nudity was practiced by Jesus's disciples and he didn't call them out on it, so it must be OK; but I think those are open to speculation. So if nudity in real life is OK, then nudity in art should be all right, too. In the media, there's nothing inherently wrong with nudity, and that includes video games. It's all about context, which especially in today's modern world is something we have to look out for. Pornography is morally wrong, and thusly nudity in a sexual context, as pornography, is wrong.

well i think THATS WHAT THE DAMN RATING IS FOR. honestly, only an idiot would buy a game that has nudity in it for their 12 yr old kid :
as long as they give it the appropriate rating, then it is fine. they DO have an adult rating, i just dont think there is any games that utilize it. as long as they give it the appropriate rating, then it is fine. they DO have an adult rating, i just dont think there is any games that utilize it. |
