Is “common” referring to cringey low budget Steam games? I don’t think I’ve seen any sort of on screen simulated sex in a game, ever. Granted I tend to only play well publicized indie games and larger releases. But how common is this? Am I out of the loop?
Mass Effect, The Witcher, San Andreas Hot Coffee Mod, Sega Bass Fishing 2, Cyberpunk 2077.
It's pretty common.
Sorry, what ?
I don’t recommend it, but going bass-to-mouth was a very popular and hyped feature addition for SEGA Bass Fishing. I’m surprised this is the first you are hearing of it
Wtf japan
🤣
im sorry the what was recommend and the what was hyped for the who?
Bass-to-mouth is a South Park reference (AFAIK) and I suppose some folks in this thread are joking.
yeah that sounds like the internet to me
The Witcher and Cyberpunk I’ll give you, but Mass Effect definitely fades to black before getting to actual sex, the other two are mods. I wasn’t saying sex in games doesn’t exist, but if we’ve gotta go back several decades for a handful examples, that doesn’t feel like something that’s “common.”
BG3. The sex scenes in that are just a slight camera angle away from full blown porn. And it's also incredibly new.
If I'm not mistaken the Hot Coffee mod restores content made by Rockstar that was cut last minute.
Yeah, there was a whole kerfuffle about it because all the files were still on the disc, therefore some jurisdictions re-rated the game to some version of adults only. Rockstar definitely did all the development work to get that sex in the game, they just decided not to show it in normal gameplay.
Mass Effect Andromeda had one or two fairly graphic sex scenes. Nothing more than what you'd typically see in an R rated Hollywood movie.
Unfortunately the scenes were with the most human characters. Imagine my disappointment when it just did fade to black with the Turian girl...
I think "common" here would refer to having to produce them, over the actual explicitness of the scene. Whether Mass Effect fades to black or not isn't really the point when the voice actors still have to record the lines that play while the screen is dark.
Baldur's gate 3
Pretty cool of them to mocap a real bear :D
Dragon Age, too. Then ask the Fahrenheit line of games. There's a lot overall.
ME is like cuddles that fade to black, The Witcher is funny little drawn cards you get after a fade to black, San Andreas was a mod as the actual function was never part of the released game - and those animations definitely were not mo-capped, no idea wtf a fishing game has, CP2077 kinda the same as ME but a bit more raunchy I guess. But even those very non explicit examples are a tiny fraction in the grand scheme of things, even among "adult" games.
Witcher 3 and cp2077 definitely had what i'd consider full sex scenes. Like, you don't have full on piv, but it's about as close as, say, TV typically gets.
Witcher 3 it is more explicit if you buy the services on offer in the brothel. But it's still far less than one romp in Wicked Whims, which of course is all mods so no motion capture there
Kingdom Come: Deliverance has a few (optional) ones IIRC.
TLOU 2
Actual sex scenes are incredibly rare. In most cases, which are still rare, it is implied with some cuddly scenes that fade to black. I think the most "explicit" sex scene I've seen in a regular game was in TLoU Part 2.
Tell me you've never played a Witcher game using a whole paragraph.
Accurate, but one series does not make something common.
I only played partially through the first and the most graphic sexual thing I remember there were the little cards you'd get, which don't require any actors.
By number 3 there were extended scenes. No penis or vulva.
