"The game contains a scene in which two characters have sex on a table;"

Can't wait now.

RumbleFish5108d ago

What characters? A boy and a girl? A man and a girl? A woman and a boy? A woman and a horse, goat, dog or whatever? Two girls? WTF? I wanna know!

Bob-Dole5108d ago

This is Bob Doles type of game. It reminds Bob Dole of his childhood.

Bob Dole.

NateNater5108d ago

lol Those Bob Dole jokes are soooo old.

ThatArtGuy5108d ago

Isn't that the point? Old jokes for an old person? (It's not funny if you have to explain it.)

kids will still play it anyway, who's going to stop em?

rdgneoz35108d ago

Kids will need a parent or someone older to buy it for them. So no one will be stopping them, they'll be encouraging them if the kids play it.

T9X695108d ago

Sounds like my kind of game right there. Bring it on Rockstar I'm tired of waiting.

TacoTaru5108d ago

I would have purchased two copies of this game to play with my teenage son. After reading this I will buy none. I certainly wouldn't want to play with the juveniles that are excited by this.

DARK WITNESS5108d ago

I have to say I agree with T9X69.

I resepct your choice on the matter, I am 30 and if I had kids, well I would still buy it for myself but my own stash of games would be locked away anyway and if i ever cought them playing it they would be and a Crap load of trouble. I am sure though from all the trailers and videos it was kind of clear that this sort of content would be in the game.

and as he said.... it is R*

divideby05108d ago

Taco... I hear you...but than again if you look at all the games with this type of stuff in it...there are reasons for the rating system... and also welcome to playing current video games....sad but ME, GOW, GTA all have this type of stuff....

liquidsnake5108d ago

Good to hear a parent is finally doing what a parent should.
I'm 22 with no kids so I'll play the sh!t out of this.

STICKzophrenic5108d ago

I'm 27, and when (if) I have kids, I'll have them gaming as early as I can and playing all kinds of games, including this.

jagstatboy5108d ago

anyone who would allow their children to play this, like that douche above, should be imprisoned.

electricshadow5108d ago (Edited 5108d ago )

I wish that didn't sound as ignorant as it did. So, because his parenting choices are different from yours, he is automatically a douche and should be imprisoned? You're right, your logic doesn't have any flaws in it. It's the parents' discretion. If they think little Billy and little Sally can play it, they'll let them play it. I bought GTA III when I was in grade five. It's completely dependent on the maturity level of the child.

You said you was going to buy two copies of the game, which means you obviously seen the trailers, and the rated M sign with the list of why its rated M. So my question to you is, how is this article "surprising", I'm not the smartest person in the world, but I wasn't expecting Red Dead Redemption to be about horseback ridding with Ken and Barbie, I mean seriously its Rockstar games did you expect anything less than this?

lucifon5108d ago

Indeed. After every trailer it clearly shows the M rating with a list of various reasons as to why the game has this rating such as Nudity and Violence.

TacoTaru5108d ago

I didn't say it was surprising, I said it was "too bad". There is probably very little in the game that I would consider "over the line", but it will keep me, and people like me, from buying and playing an otherwise beautiful game.

The other thing that is sad is the drooling excitement shown by some of the folks because there is sex in the game. I'm not sure that losing the people that are buying for that reason would economically outweigh the number of people they lose that are like me.

rdgneoz35108d ago

Games are rated mature for a reason. Its for mature people. If you're not old enough to purchase the game on your own or not mature enough to handle the content of the game, don't get it or play it. Swearing in games? Tell me you never swear before saying anything. Sex in games? Tell me you're still a virgin or only have sex for procreation and that you've never watched a movie that had a sex scene in it, before complaining. Also, the main star of the game states he's a married man as unknownhero1123 said.

I for one, will be getting the game and enjoying it with a few friends who are mature enough to enjoy it.

TacoTaru5107d ago

@rdgneoz3 I don't quite follow your logic. Swearing in games is okay because you swear IRL. Sex in games is okay because you aren't a virgin. Blowing peoples heads off in games is okay... ?

Because you do it in real life doesn't mean it needs to be in a game. Have you watched the old John Wayne westerns? They were excellent without hardly a damn or hell showing up. Clint Eastwood was a little rougher but those movies were still watchable with an early teen.

Also, I'm not sure that swearing or sex is a sign of maturity. I don't consider all those people that get arrested in "Cops" on TV mature although I'm sure they are all old enough to buy the game.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming7d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long7d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming7d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple1017d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor7d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing697d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming7d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno7d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming7d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast21d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg21d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.

OtterX37d ago

I still think this release was a big waste of time. I would have been a day 1 purchaser if they had redone the game w RDR2 graphics. I still own my PS3 copy, so don't see the point in picking this up if it's minimally improved.

CobraKai37d ago

I bought the game cheaper than the remaster on 360. There’s no reason in releasing the game at that price with so little improvements if any.

Profchaos37d ago

It's nice to have it as a handheld game I guess if you travel a lot but yes the ps5 release was a joke

kaos8937d ago

It plays at 60 fps on PS5 and a higher res if you value that.

OtterX37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Yea, PS3 graphics at 60fps and 4k doesn't warrant the price. It was severely disappointing considering they already created so many of the assets north of the San Luis River (New Austin) in RDR2 and could have reused a lot of things, or reworked things bc they are the same area at different times in a fairly close history. It's friggin' Rockstar - you know they have the money and resources to have done it.

jznrpg21d ago

I like that I can play the game on current generation console but it would have been nice if they did more to make it look better.

Profchaos37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

They should have released the game in its current state not the state it launched in. Obvious we all wanted this to be a expansion to rdr 2 given that the original map was already remade in the game lots of people though this was just going to be added in later as paid DLC.

Now the game runs at 4k 60 fps on ps5 and can be brought on sale it's actually worth playing.

At launch the game was priced far to high and was a ps360 era game that couldn't run at 60 fps.

I'm in no way a frame rate snob I defended games like tears of the kingdom in the past for being 30 fps experiences but rdr was a joke at launch
