Thanks for the warning! My husband lets our sons my new games fairly often, and I don’t think he pays much attention to the content. If I see this one turn up, I’ll have it returned before it’s unwrapped.
Thanks for the, ummm, heads up...
It’s got an “M” on the box, so I would question kids playing this, or adults or older teenagers playing it with younger children in the house.
“M” stands for “Mom says no.”
Well it does have an ESRB of M. ESRB rating are actually kind of useful, unlike MPAA ratings which I think come out of a bingo machine.
Well I hope parents aren’t buying this for their kid... It’s rated “M - Mature” for pete’s sake... Ages 17+
Do parents not even bother anymore to look at the ratings or review content? Guess that be too much work...
Gay sex? Are you effing kidding me?
I just told someone I would like this game based on the rave reviews. None of the reviews I read mentioned rump-rangers.
Mostly I got Morrigan scenes & demon chick scenes.. no problem.
Then I got to this..

I struggle every day with the effects on my (now 27 year-old) son of 15 years of Operant Conditioning from increasingly violent video games. I rue the day I ever brought the 1st Nintendo home.

I agree both with you and with the prior comments saying, in essence, “But it DOES carry an M rating (ESRB), so parents really shouldn’t be letting their under-17-ish kids get it anyway.”
Thanks.
BTW, the ratings on these games aren’t very helpful. I read that the raters play about 20 mins. and then rate the game. The designers know that and put the gross stuff so that it comes up after the gamer has gotten a few levels done.
Not only these games but alot of games have “add-ons” or whatever they call them, that you can download from the internet.
GrandTheftAuto, for instance, had a download where the player got a prostitute (full graphic interactive sex - player changing positions - building to climax - whatnot)
even if the game seems OK, it can be made bad.
Buy your kids a Lego set instead. ;-)
I’m actually all for this although I don’t play that particular game. The online games I do play are frequently made less fun by way of all of the 12-16 yo’s whose parents let them play unsupervised. They are loud, obnoxious, frequently foul-mouthed and they detract from the game being played by the adults.
Did the article writer get a kickback from the game's publishers, or did he merely twitch like a puppet on a string to their Machiavellian marketing plan?
Hubby just finished this game, and it was awesome. You can choose your path, so you would have to chose the men. It’s rated for 17+, so parents shouldn’t be buying it for their children anyway, unless they are going to be supervising.
Dragon Age-origins... at least three gay (men on men) sex scenes and I'm not sure how many female/female sex scenes, but I know there are a few.Thanks autumnraine.
