Nudity in videogames, how do you feel?

[Segatron314]

Let us lay down the ground rules:

People can get passionate baout this, but no direct attacks at other people for their ideas.

No attachments or direct linking. I am not expecting pictures, but they always find there way in, use links with a warning.

Use spoiler text precautions for saying things that could cause more trouble than it's worth, on the flip side, having read the header, let's have a thick skin since you came anyway.

if it fits the game it's fine with me...

i can't imagine many situations were is wouldn't be over the top though

[DOVESKI]

Exactly.

Anything over the top is corny, Dave Mirra XXX is a prime example.

Hrm... As with nearly anything it would be a matter of excecution. It would not have to be serious or advance some deep plot. It could be silly in a silly game or serious in a serious game and I would not mind. The key would be if it was executed well, just like any other part of a game's design.

Unfortunately, I have a feeling that most uses of nudity in gaming would end up being pretty bad, cheap, and more trouble than it's worth. Furthermore, if it was used in the same way "sex appeal" was used with the ridiculously bad looking 3D girls in DOA Vollyball then I'd just assume they didn't bother.

It's all about Gals Panic.

Fuck you!

And uh, yeah. As long as there's no anus.

[Tragic]

Agreed, so long as it's tastfully done and appropriate for the story.

[The Bastard]

Just as long as it is not goatse or something of that ghastly nature, nudity is fine by me.

[piku]

I really don't see how nudity could possibly add anything to a video game.

well, you know... if part of the story involved Link making sweet, sweet love to Zelda, would you rather watch it or skip it, for the sake of the story?

[Captain Vegetable]

It's silly and unnecessary.
