Khadgar42: But anyway,
I never understood why people prefer violence over sex in video games,
even in real life I prefer getting a blow job rather than being beaten up or shot at,
so why shouldn't our games be the same way?
Why? I don't get it.
Because games are about conflict and challenge. Being shot at and surviving (and shooting back) is a challenge - it involves tactics and twitch skills. Getting a blowjob - well the challenge could be to convince the girl (or boy, should you be so inclined) to give to the blowjob in the first place - and is what many of the eroge games are actually about (like dating simulators). The blowjob could a reward (like an awesome cutscene or an amazing plot revelation), but as "gameplay" I guess it's rather hard to make it worthwhile.
There are of course "sex simulator" games, that try to turn sex into gameplay (like i.e. HomeMate from Illusion) where you have to "please the girl" to get more - well sex options. But those games are ultimately (as games) utterly boring and give the word "grinding" a double meaning.
On topic: I'm on the fence on this one. On the one hand there is no DRM-free digital store selling (uncut) erotic or outright pornographic games. So if GOG would start to offer those titles I kind of would be glad. There's certainly an audience for these type of games (and some even are pretty good in terms of storytelling and art - think i.e. Divi Dead). And - depending on the titles - I would count myself among this audience. I think most of the people know these games only from pirate copies since they were pretty hard to come by, and would gladly open their wallets to make them legitimate.
On the other hand I can't see how they would really fit GOG's profile. Maybe classics like Knights of Xentar would nicely suit the "Good Old Games" approach that still lives here. Some of the more artsy visual novels (like Saya no Uta) would go well with the Indie-Boutique approach we've lately seen. But the majority of these games - while certainly sellable - do not really fit GOGs current profile: Classics, best of indie and AAA (if GOG can get the latter at all).
EBToriginal: Maybe 90% of the planet is secretly as kinky as I am, and are just too afraid to admit it. Violence can be quite sexy after all.
Please elaborate?
