GTA: AO
Lug:
Here's an interesting article I saw regarding the subject:
--- Quote ---Speaking of adult games, where are they? Politicians bemoan the bloodthirsty horror of video games, but really the standards are almost Victorian when compared to R-rated Hollywood fare such as Sin City and Kill Bill and Cinemax's Voyeur Safari IV: Dildo Island. You get a little harsh language and some comic-booky sprays of gore, but that's about it. There is an "AO" (Adults Only) ESRB rating for games, but when is the last time you saw it?
We're not for speeding the moral degradation of the modern world, but imagine a Hollywood where only PG-13 movies could get made. Say goodbye to everything from Shindler's List to The Matrix.
Chances of that happening...
We've got one hyphenated word for you: Wal-Mart. The largest game seller in the world simply won't stock games with the "AO" rating. Period. So those games won't sell and developers won't make them. So until they invent new and varied and Wal-Martless ways to sell the games, we're stuck with the AO games found only in our fantasies.

Out of curiosity has anyone actually played the mod? I have no desire to play it because with less effort I can see better quality simulations of sex else were on the net.[/url]
Stranger Dan:
A nearly impossible to play fully clothed dry humping minigame shouldn't be enough to give it a AO rating. Heck you could probably get away with a T or even an E if it weren't for all of the profanity and violence in the rest of the game. Simba did worse in the Lion King! He wasn't wearing any clothes when he was mounting Nala to Elton John music and that got a G.
Also, the AO thing is just speculation for now. Nothing official has been done yet.
Also, why would anybody buy games from Wal-Mart. Games are no cheaper there than at a real electronics store and they are a rip off compared to getting used games at a real video game store.
Trollstormur:
the reason they didn't take it out in the first place is because they were concerned that removing whole paragraphs of code would destabilize the whole program. I mean, we're getting in a gray area here. You could only access the game by downloading a mod. If someone made a mod out of hot-coffee so you could have it even with the new HC-removed version... would all the fundies get angry about it?

Somehow that is more disturbing to me than goatse, tubgirl or lemonparty.
no one special:
--- Quote from: ebullientsoul ---Actually, its a case of Rockstar sweeping adult material under the rug and hoping no one would notice.

Exactly. Half the problem here is that there was hidden content in the game - content that Rockstar knew did not fall under the purview of the game or the rating they were aiming for.
The other half of the problem - you're showing people having sex. "but it was simulated" yeah yeah yeah. You're showing people having sex. It doesn't really matter what people feel should or shouldn't be shown or resticted, etc. etc. - the rules are what they are, and they broke the rules. So, they get a ratings change. End of story.
And honestly, it's not the end of the world. Nothing will change from this. The Playboy game came out and is what it is and has no problems selling. So relax, the world's still spinning.
And for what it's worth BMX XXX never tried to the fact that it had adult content. I'm just saying...

Maddox also has a opinion about this.
