Hot Coffee isn't a "mod." It is more like an easter egg put into the game for people to find.
The entire game is vile. The amoral nature of the graphic violence is far worse than the sex scene.
Best Buy and the others pulled the game because they have policies banning sale of adult only rated games. This game has severely harmed the rating system Since Rockstar games left in adult-rated content in a mature-rated game, they are the ones who have given politicians an opportunity to attack video games.
You nailed it. The reason the Hillary is right, in this case, is that the games need to be rated correctly or parents can't make the proper decisions. I am not for censorship, but the ratings need to be accurate. By the company leaving the Adult material in the game and yet selling it as a Mature game it invited scrutiny on itself.
"The entire game is vile. The amoral nature of the graphic violence is far worse than the sex scene."
yes I agree the context of the violence is more disturbing to me than any sex scene but from what I understand [since I dont play it I stand to be corrected] the game intends for you to play at violent criminality as a violent criminal 'thug' character...that is not Amoral violence but IMmoral violence imo.
Contrast with "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" [which I do play and is my favourite game next to Halo] which can perhaps be more fairly described as Amoral...in KOTOR one has the MORAL CHOICE to develop your own character and play as either a 'light side' Jedi or turn to the 'dark side' of the Sith...and there is a well developed system of MORAL CONSEQUENCE that affects gameplay following from one's choices...yet one CHOOSES which path to follow [I choose the light side for my character Kel Fyr] and can 'win' the game either way...but what kind of 'person' your player character becomes is determined by your behavioural choices...just like in Real Life.
This imo is better than a game like GTA that if i understand it correctly forces you to play as a murderous thug character...if you could as easily play and succeed at the game as a COP protecting the citizens of San Andreas from murderous gangsta thugs like the main character is THEN maybe GTA might interest me.
