I do agree some of its for shock value, but if we had a 18+ rating in this country things would be a lot better for the gaming. Though IMHO no nudity is gratuitous, even granting the problems with the uncanny valley.
With all things it is up to the person themselves. If they don't like it don't bloody buy it! Not to mention leaving others alone who don't dwell in beige cardigans, and consider a nice cup of tea a strong drink.
Or something like that anyway. You get my meaning.
Goddamn media whore.

ReplyDeleteFor me it's context. If it's sitting in the right place I'm ok with it, but otherwise it's just a bad episode ... of ... umm ... something shitty.
