Yes, seeing ten seconds of side-boob or even side-ass is /horrible/.
The fact is, these things are optional, and not a big deal. Movies nowadays show full on 'private' areas, and no one makes a big deal out of it.
You don't want to see Shep and Liara having a mature, grown up relationship? Fine. You don't have to. The game only triggers these things if you pursue it.
The moral of the story is... SHUT THE FUCK UP! IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR KIDS TO PLAY IT, FUCKING BE A REAL PARENT! ACTUALLY STUDY THE CONTENT YOU BUY FOR YOUR KIDS BEFORE BUYING THEM!
The concern about how women in video games are portrayed IS a valid one, but the sex in this game is centered around relationships, you don't just go around boning alien chicks for the hell of it. Just because sex in a game merely exists doesn't automatically mean it's portraying women badly. There are some games that are pretty sexist and female video game fans sometimes don't feel included, but that doesn't mean all games are bad.
@WerewolfOfTheWater EXACTLY its the same as in a blockbuster movie, we will us Avatar as an example the "hero" doesn't going around having sex he has a relationship with some one and that it leads to it. No one was like there is full nudity in "Blockbuster movie" OMG!
This makes me mad, how cooper says some study has been going on, and says that teenage boys cannot tell the difference between real life and a video game. That right there is utter BULLSHIT!! I'm currently 17, and old enough to play the games I play, but I've been playing them since I was 8. I have never once thought that I can cast spells, steal cars, or get killed and I respawn some where out yonder. The children and teens shes talking about are some sheltered ass children.
If your parents don't want you having it then they shouldn't let you. If you're parents don't want you to see something bad on the internet, then they should stop paying their internet bill immediately. Simple as that. You can avoid the games your children play but you can't avoid bad things on the internet. Theyre all over.
Burn in hell Fox news!!! Burn like a pile of old tires you plutocratic pompous bastards! Your anti-video game propaganda campaign is nothing but lies and you damn well know it too! So take your soccer mom/red neck fear mongering elsewhere you insufferable pricks.
"What happened to Atari, Pinball and Pacman?" Uhhhh, what happened to film reels and sitting around the radio for entertainment. We advanced technologically, get the fuck over it.
Yeah, it's not easy being a parent nowadays, so instead of manning up and putting on your big girl pants you go after the media depicting what you don't want your kids to see. Fuckin lazy parenting.
Should stop drinking work productively all the time, never get divorced even if you are miserable, never fight, and watch only pg13 movies as an adult
With this kind of logic, you better stop selling wine and other forms of alcohol because you dont supervise your kids all the time or ban adult movies in case your unsupervised kid finds an old copy of Jaws, it encourages violence against shark you know. And ban nature programmes if they show animals having sex in case your little darling kids watching it, go out and start humping each other. Or ban women wearing lipstick because it encourages sexuality in little girls. Fuck off Cunts
Raising a child has ALWAYS been a really fucking hard job. It's only made more difficult by the choices you make to exclude yourself from their lives to pursue other things... like a career on the most laughably bad news network on American television.
How far does Fox plan on getting complaining about video games and the children they have no control over? Microsoft makes parental controls, which parents, if they want, to use it to block access for their children to play certain games. Most parents, howerver, don't care. They're just games. Fox still does not understand that the world today needs fun for children, and adults. Which is why the game bears the "M" rating. Don't want your kids playing it? Don't buy it. Simple as that.
"I'm not sure why it did not get an Adult Only rating, the highest rating it can have. So first of all this board that rates them need to have their heads examined." Sorry Fox News, but you are the ones that need to be 'examined in the head.'
Mass Effect is all about choice! The player pursues a romantic relationship if they want it! If your 13 year old son wants to bang an Asari then your 13 year old kid is FUCKED UP! Oh yeah and the sex scenes in either Mass Effect games are about as graphic as the sex scene in Twilight Breaking Dawn, and guess what, Twilight is meant for 12 year old girls! Are you saying that girls can watch sex scenes but boys can't? Fuck you.
I like how she said 'DARLIN', I'M GONNA HAVE TO GO WITH THE RESEARCH.' when he told her straight-up that it's not a MANDATORY FUCKING PART OF THE GAME.
These dumbasses have never picked up a video game in their life, so they view it as this bad, foreign evil that they'll never educate themselves on. But they act like Mass Effect isn't even a game with a plot, they act like it's just a GIANT sex sim.
I wanna bomb everyone at Fox News sometimes. It blows my mind that people can be so stupid.
"Whatever happened to Atari and Pinball and Pacman?" she says. 30 years ago, people were on TV saying "We need to protect kids from Atari and Pinball and Pacman!"
Those fuckheads said it themselves- What the fuck do they think they know about modern gaming? (Except Jeff) There is a very intensive process to even get to the possibility of having sex in ME. And "Kids can't tell video games from real life" is downright bullshit. One bitch couldn't even name fucking PONG correctly! And AO? That is barely different from M, and ratings are SUGGESTIONS in the US. What the fuck is this, Nazi Fucking Germany?!?!
God forbid people take responsibility. Why don't more parents put things in context and explain things to children instead of letting them play and then getting pissed off at gaming companies for not making more child-friendly content? You don't need to hover over children all the time, give them some credit and try to explain things instead of trying to ban them outright. If they're too young to get it, why are you even letting them play in the first place?
Mass Effect dosent show full digital nudity and sex, ITS JUST PARTIAL, YOU DONT EVEN SEE A NIPPLE. In my country in any hour of the day you can see movies at tv with that tipe of sex.And you cant control the interaction during the sex scene bitch. So before you open yor mouth wich you use to suck it for yor husband MOTHER FUCKING DOCUMENT YORSELF!
If they got the chance they would give every game a ao rating cause they are so ingnorante even the cheerful little big planet I wish they would relize that news is worse cause its real life. there experts are wrong anyway I watched underworld when I was like 3 or 4 im fine I watched residient evil and im fine thier experts know crap about kids
Pffft research she says but as she played you can choose to be nice or and ass to the AI fox news need to lay off and talk about the stupid shit they complained about again
What an idiot that guy is. If you can't get a princess out of her room to the next level, you'll never be able to get to that sex scene in Mass Effect. And I don't expect your kid will be any smarter to do the same.
Ah, yes, "video game censorship." The petty and biased argument that video games allegedly corrupt society with sex and violence.
We are far beyond dissmissing that claim. Fuck you, FOX News. Fuck you and your fucking psychologists.
I mean, really? An AO rating for 30 seconds of skin?
And this claim that women in games are for nothing more than sex. Anyone with an attention span can tell that the women in Mass Effect have more badassery and depth of character than a lot of people in real life.
Most games make the female character sexy... most gamer geeks play these games for that reason! Get a life...games should be games not perverse bullshit! Google porn do your business then go have a near life experience...
oh, Fox News........Fox News Fox News Fox News.....go hire Hank Williams Jr and leave the video game industry to a less stupid media outlet. On a side note: 10,283 people work for Fox News.
I'm female and when I played through this game (and #2) many a time, I didn't once feel objectified. The sex scene isn't even a freaking sex scene, I thought it was a very lovely, tender moment.
Wtf is this about ??? Are they seriously talking about sex in mass effect ??? About that 30 secon long cutscene which barely shows anything ??? Funny that nobody gives a shit about sex and violence in movies (not that i was against them). This obession of destroing gaming industry by some psychological/social '"experts" is insane.
OH MY GOD! Listening to these short sighted idiots makes my jaw drop. Its fucking hilarious! People like them are a dying breed i tell you! Also i wanna beat the shit out of that cooper lawrence bitch. GO MAKE YOUR HUSBAND A SANDWITCH BITCH INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT "WOMEN AS OBJECTS" IN EVERY FUCKING THING YOU SEE!!!!!
Okay, hear me out. I've played the ME series and read every book and am excited for ME3 coming soon. I read some references and jokes referring to this fox news video about how they took this out of proportion and they are right. However, many of these people saying fox is evil for saying this are the ones who are blowing it out of proportion. They have not control over any games you play so relax. Ignore them.
a.you can only be with one women or man and its a single seen in the game
b.the protagonist in the game has a selectable gender there is a romance option with a male character
c. it is not a simple choice to have sex with the character or to not it requires a large in game time investment and the correct dialog choices to be able to romance.
d. mass effect is nothing compared to the witcher 2 in terms of xxx content
That bitch is fucking retarted! Video games don't make kids violent; I played golden eye, and later on counter strike, and halo. According to them, I should be shooting up a mall or something. :|
Having your head examined for not makeing mass effect a A rated game?????? Wtf it's not even that violent and from what I have played there is know sexuality involved at all all you video game cridicts need to go jump in a hole.
Before I start I'd like to say I watch Fox News and I love the Mass Effect series. The problem here is that Fox News and all media alike do not understand video games and the gaming community. They need to actually play the game before bashing it. They need to understand that it's an M rated game and is not intended for children. Rather than insulting the existence of M games, they should get parents should take responsibility for what their children are playing.
I want to know why they gripe about violence in video games but not the violence in cartoons that they park their kids in front of the TV to watch. Violent cartoons have been around for decades, yet they are upset about a video game that kids may or may not play. The news anchor is showing her ignorance, too. Talking about a video game you know nothing about, and making false allegations about that video game, just shows me how low the standards for reporting truthfully at FOX News are.
This is one of the dumbest stories I've ever seen Fox News cover. I knew they were a bunch of ignorant fucktards but this was beyond stupidity. Geoff Keighley held his ground brilliantly and won the argument with facts and logic. I've never understood why so many women are strongly against video games. As for these sex scenes, there was nothing graphic about them anyway. They happened in the context of a relationship forged over many hours of gameplay and it was tastefully done. MORONS.
why are republicans and fox news so against the development of technology. they are quicker too talk shit about something they dont understand than to actually research it. i mean look at rick santorum, He honestly just argued today that prenatal care leads directly to abortion..... does the exact opposite it keeps unborn babies healthy. thats like saying getting an education will make you stupid.
mass effect was a game that brought a whole new level of storytelling and deep character interaction, and only improved on it in me2 and all they have to say is "there is a 2 second scene where it is somewhat like a sex scene but it is really censored, why isn't it rated adult only", did they ever here about Duke Nukem Forever or Dante's Inferno? much better point to argue those games as adult only, but not mass effect
Not really surprised about the completely biased and exagerrated news coming out of fox but here's another brilliant example! Fox doesnt exemplifies fear mongering at it's best, people.
This video is a classic example of how Fox manipulates the news it reports. The debates are not "Fair and Balanced". Notice that more time was given to the author pushing the Fox POV. The guy was given barely 20 seconds to get his point across while the woman was given about a full minute. The guy also had a question injected to throw him off his main point. The author didn't have that. Fox does this with every controversial debate they have.
I'm glad I dropped FauxNews and every other mainstream media bullshit there is. Mass Effect is not a big problem. The game isn't that violent and there just is not much going on with "virtual nudity" in the game. If you are weak minded and are effected by video games like these then that is your problem. Also lady, video games have shown to increase intelligence & decision making.. this game is good for the brain but just don't play for hours & hours.. same with every other video game.
It amazes me how stupid people can make it on television. Its in the job description. **MUST HAVE LOBOTOMY** This is like having a talk on politics and inviting Uncle Dan who wrote a one page article in the local editorial column to debate a Senator. Except Uncle Dan gets 20 mins of talk time and 4 people that agree with him.
So according to jaded old people in the media, watching an R movie with sex is less of an issue than developing a romance in an M video game? who needs their head examined again?
really....last time I played ME i didn't get to decide whether i wanted to do her in the kitchen or the shower.

They're not complaining about the sex and violence in movies because the parent company that owns Fox News makes those movies.

Okay, hear me out. I've played the ME series and read every book and am excited for ME3 coming soon. I read some references and jokes referring to this fox news video about how they took this out of proportion and they are right. However, many of these people saying fox is evil for saying this are the ones who are blowing it out of proportion. They have not control over any games you play so relax. Ignore them.

a.you can only be with one women or man and its a single seen in the game
b.the protagonist in the game has a selectable gender there is a romance option with a male character
c. it is not a simple choice to have sex with the character or to not it requires a large in game time investment and the correct dialog choices to be able to romance.
d. mass effect is nothing compared to the witcher 2 in terms of xxx content

6:20 - 6:28 sums it up:

- "It is, unfortunately, and it makes being a parent a much harder job"
That's the problem right there. Not video games, not movies, not music; just you being a lousy parent.

Before I start I'd like to say I watch Fox News and I love the Mass Effect series. The problem here is that Fox News and all media alike do not understand video games and the gaming community. They need to actually play the game before bashing it. They need to understand that it's an M rated game and is not intended for children. Rather than insulting the existence of M games, they should get parents should take responsibility for what their children are playing.

I want to know why they gripe about violence in video games but not the violence in cartoons that they park their kids in front of the TV to watch. Violent cartoons have been around for decades, yet they are upset about a video game that kids may or may not play. The news anchor is showing her ignorance, too. Talking about a video game you know nothing about, and making false allegations about that video game, just shows me how low the standards for reporting truthfully at FOX News are.

Mass Effect doesn't appeal to a lot of teenagers because it's hardcore Sci-Fi.

This is one of the dumbest stories I've ever seen Fox News cover. I knew they were a bunch of ignorant fucktards but this was beyond stupidity. Geoff Keighley held his ground brilliantly and won the argument with facts and logic. I've never understood why so many women are strongly against video games. As for these sex scenes, there was nothing graphic about them anyway. They happened in the context of a relationship forged over many hours of gameplay and it was tastefully done. MORONS.

why are republicans and fox news so against the development of technology. they are quicker too talk shit about something they dont understand than to actually research it. i mean look at rick santorum, He honestly just argued today that prenatal care leads directly to abortion..... does the exact opposite it keeps unborn babies healthy. thats like saying getting an education will make you stupid.

mass effect was a game that brought a whole new level of storytelling and deep character interaction, and only improved on it in me2 and all they have to say is "there is a 2 second scene where it is somewhat like a sex scene but it is really censored, why isn't it rated adult only", did they ever here about Duke Nukem Forever or Dante's Inferno? much better point to argue those games as adult only, but not mass effect

Not really surprised about the completely biased and exagerrated news coming out of fox but here's another brilliant example! Fox doesnt exemplifies fear mongering at it's best, people.
BrianWard1986 1 week ago
This video is a classic example of how Fox manipulates the news it reports. The debates are not "Fair and Balanced". Notice that more time was given to the author pushing the Fox POV. The guy was given barely 20 seconds to get his point across while the woman was given about a full minute. The guy also had a question injected to throw him off his main point. The author didn't have that. Fox does this with every controversial debate they have.

I'm glad I dropped FauxNews and every other mainstream media bullshit there is. Mass Effect is not a big problem. The game isn't that violent and there just is not much going on with "virtual nudity" in the game. If you are weak minded and are effected by video games like these then that is your problem. Also lady, video games have shown to increase intelligence & decision making.. this game is good for the brain but just don't play for hours & hours.. same with every other video game.
