GTA 5 Uncensored Sex Scene Has Rockstar Gone Too Far?

"Has Rockstar Gone too Far?" This is the question being asked to gamers today, regarding the new uncensored GTA V sex scene video footage that was leaked online yesterday.
With so many under-age children getting a hold of M for mature rated games, do you think scenes like these in video games will further promote under age sex, pregnancy, and even sexual assaults amongst children?

pedrof933871d ago

No.

Not too far. Just the right far.

DAS6923871d ago

I personally think that that part of the leaked video is very questionable. The lighting doesn't look as good. Who are the characters? (That is definitely not Michael in the back)Also I noticed that on one of the vids, that car model damage was non-existent. Just something that doesn't click with me. Although some of the gameplay vids are UNDOUBTEDLY real, I think this and maybe ONE more vid is fake.

RyuCloudStrife3871d ago

the game is Rated M, #Dealwithit.

brianunfried3871d ago

I agree, my first thought was fake. Plus, I don't think they want another "Hot Coffee" scandal.

Enemy3871d ago

Nope, it was real. Thing is, it's not as uncensored as people say it is. They don't know genitals in the game, so people need to lighten up.

Anthotis3871d ago (Edited 3871d ago )

Unless it involves rimming the girl, they haven't gone far enough.

Also, if you want to remove sex scenes from games in case children play it, you'll need to remove sex scenes from films in case children see it. I'd be more concerned about the depiction of violence in games and films, though, if i was a paranoid waste of skin that took issue with such depictions in the first place.

Also, argumentum ad thinkofthechildren is about as pathetic a fallacy can get.

Blacktric3871d ago

They already showed an uncensored penis of a senator in all its "glory" in Ballad Of Gay Tony. A simple scene that shows two people having sex with most of their clothes on from a blind side angle that barely reveals anything shouldn't cause a stir at this point. Hell, a similar type of scene was in one of Red Dead Redemption's mission cutscenes.

Dee_913870d ago

killing people okay
but sex is a no
........ the f%$^ is wrong with people?

pixelsword3870d ago

Blow some guy's head off, nobody flinches.

*Blow* some guy's head off, everyone panics.

DAS6923870d ago

Idk why I have so many disagrees. I don't have problem with it, if this is real, I was just questioning the validity of the leak.

I find this article weird. It's much easier to get a hold of much worse things over a simple click on the internet, yet why is this getting so much backlash about kids and maturity?

Whitefire3871d ago (Edited 3871d ago )

Because it is about kids, and Mature things? Also that is why you monitor your children on the internet. If a parent knowingly allowed their underage kid to access porn how would everyone react?

slimeybrainboy3871d ago

It's not as if they had actual live floppy penises, and sloppy vaginas. You could just see hips. They were pretty much fully clothed.

I would struggle to wank to that on a desert island. You're right, it's not gratuitous at all.

t0mmyb0y3871d ago

It's not like any other species mate on our planet lol

Godoftheweek3871d ago (Edited 3871d ago )

Violence = OK
Sex = Bad

I would much rather my sons 11 and 8 see a nice pair of boobs over seeing a head get chopped off. Sex is a part of life, it puzzles me as to why we have no problem with our children watching people get hurt and die, yet show them a nipple, and all hell breaks loose.

@Fluke

Yes, I know. I remember when I lived in Germany that naked bodies were no big deal, nor was talking about sex on TV. Violence was much more controlled. It is or at least was the exact opposite of what is acceptable in the US.

RyuCloudStrife3871d ago (Edited 3871d ago )

This exactly what I don't get.

Not that I'm against video games where you kill virtual humans but that's fine, now a scene of two people making love OH HELLLZZ NOOOOOOO!!!!

Fluke_Skywalker3871d ago

This is more the case in the US, here in Europe it's pretty much the other way round, sex is fine, violence is bad. Which is kinda the way it should be really.

Deadpoolio3871d ago

Cause Jesus says NO sex....That is exactly why the Bible thumpers want to make sex seem as dirty and disgusting as they possibly can.....It's these religious wack-a-doos that want to push their Jesusness down everyone's throat, and live life the way they choose to....To them religion is not a choice

Natso3871d ago

^ lol

Jesus said no such thing.

Don't they teach reading comprehension in Grade school?

Dee_913870d ago

@Deadpoolio
yes,the human race loves to blame everything for how sh1tty the human race is other than the human race itself..

Gothdom3871d ago

It's too far only if I can't drive and handbrake over them... repeatedly.

ALARM-clock3871d ago

There's nothing to censor. The only thing showing is the side of a dudes butt cheek, no butt crack, no frontal for either. It's no worse than 'twerking'.

Wagz223871d ago

Sex is fine as long as its not in the champagne room, everyone knows not to have sex in there.

NeXXXuS3871d ago (Edited 3871d ago )

The better question is, how is it going too far?
Only idiot parents buying their 12-year-olds this game will say that it's going too far. Sex is a mature and natural thing. It's not something for children.
/sees the articles about parents complaining already

Lykon3870d ago

I want to see wet genitals and close up penetration. The baptist ministers that complain about games are paedophiles anyway.

otherZinc3870d ago

@Ryu,

Rated M is mature

Rated X or AO is for Adults, I'm not a baby, but they've gone too far.
My son is 14, I'm buying it for him. He can handle it without acting a damn fool.

However, we don't need the bad press in our gaming industry for this.

nosferatuzodd3870d ago (Edited 3870d ago )

wow d!ck out P@$$y out GTA V
on a more serious note people always blame video game for bad parenting my daughter got pregnant because they was playing Grand theft auto really

Not a problem, the game is for mature people only. The parents will be at fault since they buy the games for their kids without knowing how the rating system works.

-Mika-3871d ago

Not all "Mature" people want to have sex scenes in their games.

RyuCloudStrife3871d ago

then don't buy the game, simple.

Wikkid6663871d ago

It's GTA... most people expect risque things.

Fluke_Skywalker3871d ago (Edited 3871d ago )

RyuCloudStrife beat me to it.

Deadpoolio3871d ago

So then COMMON SENSE, should probably tell you NOT to purchase a game like GRAND THEFT AUTO, Or God of War, or literally any game that is pretty much guaranteed to have content you will not like....

HammadTheBeast3871d ago

And yet you're fine with the breast size increase on Lighting in Lightning Returns....?

animegamingnerd3871d ago

you better not defend the things square enix is doing in lighting returns

Natso3871d ago

Would you watch an Adam Sandler movie, knowing very well that you dislike Adam Sandler?

I didn't think so.

Common sense is a rare breed these days.

WeskerChildReborned3871d ago

Exactly. This game should have more emphasis on its rating so parents will have a chance to know that this game is definitely not appropriate for children. It's a true Rated M game.(Unlike COD).

RAFFwaff3871d ago

yeah, but it sure does drain your bank account...

Albie3603871d ago

Lol!!!
Love the scene. Great job.

iamnsuperman3871d ago (Edited 3871d ago )

" Do you think such uncensored sex scenes in the new GTA V, could help to increase a rise in under-age sex, under-age pregnancies or even sexual assaults charges among children?"

Fairly big jump here. These games are meant to be played by adults (why there is a big 18 year old certification on the side). You have to be a certain age to play these games. Now if your under age then it is up to the parent to decide if you can handle it (like would you take your 12 year old to see Saw).

I highly doubt sex in a park (in the game) is going to make adults want to have sex in the park (other natural processes do that :P). Like how a FPS doesn't want me to gun everyone down because I am old enough (and sane enough) to realise the distinction between real life and the video game (hence the age restriction) What about children? It shouldn't even be talked about as they shouldn't be playing the game anyway.

lnvisibleMan3871d ago (Edited 3871d ago )

Totally agree with you man under age pregnancies usually happen at bottom end of the social ladder. I highly doubt if an expensive medium such as video games is going to lead a significant increase of teenage pregnancies.

Just another example of the media blindly pointing the blame at video games.

Natso3871d ago

Everybody needs a scapegoat.

They'd rather blame video-games over bad parenting. Then, God forbid, they'd be at fault for something!

Natso3871d ago

Yeah, but you don't get it.

Luigi's Mansion makes me want to hunt ghosts! /sarcasm

lnvisibleMan3871d ago (Edited 3871d ago )

Find it odd that sex such a taboo subject compared to homicide. Anyway the media need to lighten up its just a video game.

Psychotica3871d ago

Well kids are more likely to engage in real sex than engaging in real homicide. Some people view this as putting ideas in kids heads.

lnvisibleMan3871d ago

True enough man. But the entertainment industry as a whole(ie Tv, magazine,internet..) shows sexual content. Kids are exposed to it all the time, a single video game is going to change things.

iceman063871d ago

Believe me, if you are the average 13 year old, sex has been in your heads already...and probably for a couple of years. It really comes down to imparting some familial norms and values about sex and whether or not one is ready and when. It's not really something that, with the proper supervision and guidance, will simply be influenced by a game, tv, music, movies, etc. Sex is more influenced by peer pressure and societal expectations than any of those.

denkov3871d ago (Edited 3871d ago )

Sex in video games isn't a big deal. Anyone ever played Witcher 2? Right on the money with this one InvisibleMan. We are the only country that makes sex so taboo. Anyone whose been anywhere in Europe knows sex isn't a big deal. They have sex in their commercials! It's human nature. Why this country makes it so taboo to even talk about sex is beyond me. Your 14 year old has already looked at more porn on the internet than you parents have in the last 15 years. Hi! I'm reality! Have we met?

TheSsus3871d ago (Edited 3871d ago )

@InvisibleMan Rated M 17+ at that...

Ex-Rockstar Dev Finally Explains Why Small Planes Randomly Crashed in GTA San Andreas

Former Rockstar Games Technical Director Obbe Vermeij has finally revealed why some planes would randomly crash in GTA: San Andreas.

Profchaos13d ago

This fly by feature was on the cutting room floor due to the random plane crashes and it's one of those things I'm so thankful made it into the final version as these random fly by and crashes make the world seem more alive on the extremely limited PS2 hardware you needed everything you could possibly get in a open world to convey that feeling.

And accross hundreds of hours of gameplay I probably died around 3 times as a result of these fly by failures but I loved every time it happened

isarai13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

It made the world feel more human, and honestly kinda insane that even today with all these open world games, almost no one can capture that like R* even when compared to their ps2 games

Skuletor12d ago

Lol, I remember those. I vaguely remember dying from one crashing into my car once too.

The Best Open World Adventures In Gaming History

The freedom to explore large areas, approach objectives in multiple ways, and stumble across amusing distractions will always be an excellent format for video games, but some do it better than others. To celebrate the formula and parse the best from the best, have a look at the best open-world games of all time so far.
