Take a look at the brothel and some action for the lead character Geralt in the local Flotsam tavern in the forthcoming Xbox 360 version of The Witcher 2.
Sex in videogames is always awkward and I guess no matter how tasteful the Witcher 2 tries to be it still looks kinda weird.
I'm torn as to whether I prefer suggestion rather than graphic depictions of sex. Until we get ultra realistic body animations and some daring developer, then it just doesn't sit right with me whether that be alien sex in Mass Effect or heterosexual activities in games like this one.
I don't know.. Heavy Rain did it pretty good, propably best in terms of animations and such. It didn't look akward, but the fact you had quick-time events in it made it a bit ackward..
I also don't personally have problems with ME or Witcher, or game X sex scenes, even tought they aren't "as fluid" as in real life. I guess it's personal taste tought..
No, but I do wish games would make the act of having sex a bit more challenging considering it's a "game" we're playing.
Here we hand over the coin and are treated to a meaningless scene with no challenge and no real reward. Rather than merely have these moments for the sake of a gimmick, something more rewarding would make it worthwhile to pursue.
I can't think of any game where the act of sex wasn't merely there for the sake of developers being able to include it.
What reward do you get from a brothel? The sex with trish is cuz she's a love interest and you get that sense when geralt "handles" her. It's not just pointless unless ou pay a whore.
So either you want interactive sex scenes, or nothing at all? I'm confused. If you feel cheap, dirty, or simply offended by it than I suppose you can close your eyes and "earmuff" it as well. And it will be quite some time, if at all, that game's become truly photorealistic, so your assertion that you'd accept such scenes is not due to the graphical capabilities of the engine, but the fact that it simply isn't real.

I wish society would stop acting like sex is taboo. When i see things like this i don't think nothing of it. It's natural. (awkward) but natural. lol
Do what GOW does. Make it a minigame
