XboxFocus' Outside the White Box writes:
"The most appalling thing to feature in a game, according to a poll on What They Play, isn't rampant use of the word fuck, or even a graphically severed human head; it's sex between a man and a woman.
The game industry is one that has, since its humble beginnings, always been one to strive for realism. The realism of a game's look is always important, and the well established fact is that whoever first conquers the uncanny valley will have a place in gaming history. The realism of authentic military weapons, their response times, reload times, and the way that the bullets pierce a human target is of utmost importance for today's strategic shooters. Why then, in an industry so obsessed with reality, is sex so uncommon?"
Activision and Raven Software's 2006 action role-playing game, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, has found its way to the Xbox Store.
Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem
I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.
Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.
Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Maturely handled sex in a game is unlikely any time soon, but it'll be an amazing day when it's there.
I think some people are just too afraid to have sexual content in video games. The way people are today, sex will never be in a lot of games for a longggg time.
I don't understand Fox News at all to be honest. Plus, did anyone actually see the Mass Effect sex scene? if you call that sex, then by god, what have I been doing?
parents are crazy....how is gettin booty worse than gore?
It is a symptom of the old American fear of sex and comfort with violence
