I remember the game Giants: Citizen Kabuto for the PC.

I live in germany and we have a slight problem with violence in games and thus many games in the past (and today) usually get toned down to appeal for our market and avoid a ban.
The only way to get an uncensored game was to get it from the USA or the UK.
With Giants: Citizen Kabuto it was the first time (that i heard of) that a game was toned down in the US while it stayed uncensored here.

The reason?

Because you can play a lady character that runs around topless.
Not in the US version though, there she is covered up.

It's totally ridiculous that any kind of nudity or sexual theme is getting shunned or censored while on the other hand you can rip a person in half in the most violent way.
Boobs don't hurt anyone.

"It's a uniquely American prudishness. I can write the most vivid, detailed description of an axe entering a skull, and no one will say a word in protest. But if you write a similarly detailed description of a penis entering a vagina, you get letters saying they'll never read your books again. What the hell? Penises entering vaginas have brought a lot more joy into the world than axes entering skulls."

-George R. R. Martin

i agree with this vid too. its really becasue of how the USA looks at nudity. but killing is alright in there books

A most fascinating thought. Makes me curious about why these things are the way they are.

Thanks a lot!

Yeah, the hypocrisy is far too real. It's frankly disgusting how we gamers glorify the destruction of life, yet act like little children when it comes to the issue of sexuality.

I can understand that titillation can sometimes become tiring, but to try to discard the issue all together? Gaming may be in its "teenage" state, but it's very evident how far it has to go in growing up. :/

I think that if we can show a guys instestines being ripped out and then cut in have then eaten, then i think we should DEFINITELY be able to show some boobs, naked boobs, big naked curves (not so much showing the whole person naked but like be able to show major profile shots of girls), this kind of problem is in everything. you can either show one but not the other in a medium. and both only in special occasions, its stupid and unfair. or uneven rather.
