Krookie Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 lol you saw like half a second of ass during the sex scene and that was it
thepixiesrock Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 It's called "Mass Effect" and it allows its players - universally male no doubt - to engage in the most realistic sex acts ever conceived. One can custom design the shape, form, bodies, race, hair style, breast size of the images they wish to "engage" and then watch in crystal clear, LCD, 54 inch screen, HD clarity as the video game "persons" hump in every form, format, multiple, gender-oriented possibility they can think of. I had no plans to finish the game anytrime soon, but this is incentive enough to finish it as soon as possible.

Calax Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 wait, since when could we customize the bra size of our characters? Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
theslug Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 wait, since when could we customize the bra size of our characters? Yeah I was wondering the same thing. I haven't made a female character yet but I mean if they had that maybe they have some kind of hidden "bulge" scale you can tinker with for mister Shepard. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.
SteveThaiBinh Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 He has a blog entry responding to some of the comments he received. Here's an interesting part: Many challenges stated that unless I played it myself then I had no business pointing out its objectionably content. Would they say the same of a strip club at the end of their block or hookers knocking at their door? (Well maybe sexually repressed gamer-nerds would...) Normal people would not. There is an innate instinct that tells us right from wrong, it's called a conscience.

thepixiesrock Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Wait, so you guys are saying this stuff isn't true? I need to know before I rush to finish this game!

Nick_i_am Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I too must know, my opinion of bioware hangs in the balance! (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Sand Posted January 15, 2008 Author Posted January 15, 2008 Okay, its not true. It's libel. I do hope Bioware/EA/Microsoft sues the bugger for it.

Wow. Like that, eh? Is the crystal clear 54 inch screen included?
Calax Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 is he also claiming that theres gay sex? I mean gay gay, not lesbian gay. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Sand Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 He makes a lame attempt of apologizing. Isn't that precious. http://kevinmccullough.townhall.com/blog/m...7#commentAnchor Murphy's Law of Computer Gaming: The listed minimum specifications written on the box by the publisher are not the minimum specifications of the game set by the developer. @\NightandtheShape/@ - "Because you're a bizzare strange deranged human?"

Hurlshort Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Actually, that's a pretty mature apology. It takes a lot more guts to admit you are misinformed than it does to just throw up defensive walls. We would get a lot more done if both sides of an argument were willing to listen and try to compromise, and it seems as if this guy is attempting to do so.
Sand Posted January 16, 2008 Author Posted January 16, 2008 I think it is a pretty poor attempt, Hurlie. Especially compared to what he wrote in the main article and his later blogs.

Kools Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I'm pretty sure that's likely just the result of this particular knucklehead coming to understand firsthand what happens when you start trash-talking people who actually know how to link a URL to their friends. He's probably just desperately trying to get some breathing space in his inbox.
Fighter Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I think what he said is so out of line exaggerated (I'd say straight misleading), that his, "Oh. I apologize, sort of. But Mass Effect is still offensive," just doesn't do it. Mass Effect "sex scenes" are no more offensive than your average tv commercial with some girl in a bikini.
