The problem is that Turkey is wrong. The first sex scene is way down the line and you have to choose to do it.

He may be referring to Geralt when he's in the bath tub, but there's no sex to be had.

well now i'm just confused

i'm gonna just refrain from commenting on this game i have not played then

YouTube

You're right, they're not fucking, but I imagine Verb would consider similarly gratuitous. It's common to refer to any scenes like this as "sex scenes" when regarding video games, a la Mass Effect's "romance" scenes.

Dude doesn't even hang dong

probably i'd imagine because no male gamer (ie. the game's audience) wants to see that

they don't even wanna see his ass

they just want a shot of all the scars on his back, because grrrr geralt is such a big badass grrr

nothing wrong with being a snob

it just means you know exactly what you like and dislike

That isn't what snob means.

it pretty much is

snob
snäb/
noun
noun: snob; plural noun: snobs
a person with an exaggerated respect for high social position or wealth who seeks to associate with social superiors and dislikes people or activities regarded as lower-class.
a person who believes that their tastes in a particular area are superior to those of other people.
"a musical snob"

so i'm right

i'm no fan of the witcher, but don't you think it's a little childish to throw everything else the game does out the window because of a sex scene?

is that what i'm doing?

i think i'm just laughing at dietrich's blatant dishonesty there

he says that smut scenes aren't "required," yet he ends up being wrong in the most aggressively obvious way--that's kinda hilarious

either way, the opening scene for a game is important in that it sets the tone, so if the opening scene involves sex, then it's reasonable to assume, as somebody who hates that shit, that it's probably not for me

so even if i were throwing the game under the bus, which i'm not, it would be completely reasonable for me to do so

surely a movie you like is guilty of the same crime yet you overlook it there.

i don't "overlook" anything, but okay, let's look at my favorite movies

fight club - one quick sex scene done in the most tasteful way imaginable, and another one that's pretty much completely offscreen and played for laughs; inoffensive, clever, perfect

goodfellas - no sex whatsoever except for one implied blowjob, iirc, which is surprising, given the context and setting of the film, plus it's directed by scorsese, who is the king of excess when it comes to big budget drug films

requiem for a dream - while it does contain the infamous "ass to ass" scene, literally all of the sex scenes in this movie are filmed in a way that's meant to be sad, revolting, or horrifying--the ideal way to film a sex scene if you must have any at all

the movie i believe has the highest quality:sex ratio is the wolf of wall street, which, again, what some may interpret as a glorification of debauchery is actually a film that condemns every second of jordan belfort and his cohorts' wild, excessive behavior; it's an indictment, not a manual

i can't think of a movie i like that doesn't have tasteful, off-screen, or non-existing sex scenes

They weren't pointless, they were hilarious. Plus they're not required.

It's impossible to get through Witcher 3 without experiencing a sex scene. The game literally opens with one.

lmao

they understand their demographic i suppose

kill the other dude, she will be enamored by your robust display of masculine dominance

ut what if he kills me first

what then

i wanna though, i think she likes me

I'm thinking if this belongs on serious because of the stupid yes or no in regards to the question

bad

It's not perfect but can you name a better game? I wish the Hard mode was already here so I could start over.

Witcher 3

any game with pointless sex scenes in it cannot be better than this game

botw is the gatekeeper

that's okay, i just rushed home to play good games instead

while frowning on people who play rated M games before they were supposed to--living the good life

here

We already have been though. I absolutely love this game but I've been giving it shit up and down this whole thread with only respectful responses given back.

I agree with your two complaints though. Mechanics-wise, degredation was only a pain in the beginning. At the end you're so flush with 60+ power weapons it's not an issue. As a story and character guy, the lack of antagonist is the biggest criticism I have against the game. At least in MM the almost non-existent villain appeared throughout the game in the consequences of his actions and the impact he had on other characters.

i was about to argue that nature served as an antagonistic force in this game, but then i started thinking about it and, yeah maybe not quite

while nature exhibits antagonistic qualities, in that it doesn't care what you think--rain impedes progress, storms are crippling, mountains are hard to climb, the wind always seems to blow where you don't want it to, and there are tons of other natural obstacles like rivers--it also provides you with an abundance of mushrooms and apples and koroks and wild game

so i suppose it becomes more of a neutral force

that said, villains are overrated--i don't really need to have a personal man vs. man conflict in every game i play

Ok so I've seen some pretty awful reactions to people disliking things about BOTW. Jim Sterling even got DDOSED because some angry children couldn't accept his opinion of the game, real mature. I've even seen people get offended when anyone thinks the game is perfection and doesn't rate it a 10/10

Is it possible to talk about the things we dislike about the game without someone getting mad over it? Go ahead.
I'll start, I thought the game lacked an interesting villain and weapon degradation annoys me.

i need to let games sit in my mind for months before i'm ready to give the ol' 10/10--that's how it was for mario world, that's how it was for wind waker, and that's how it was for super metroid (although to a lesser extent with that one, because that game is so aggressively magnificent, i didn't need a lot of time to think)

that said, if i put BotW on that same shelf, it would be the most generous (and hasty) 10 i've ever given

it's not out of the cards, but i need to start thinking critically about the game's flaws, and whether they're even flaws at all--like turkey said, brittle weapons seems like a big flaw at first, but it becomes a non-issue once you realize that the entire game is built around it

so yeah, we can certainly have a civil discussion of it here, if not anywhere else

though i can't say i don't sympathize with the fanboys' fervor--because to them, this is the best zelda game to come out in 15 years--and for people like me, this is the best game to come out in 15 years, so obviously, it can be a little disappointing to know that someone doesn't appreciate it as much as you

anyone know where you can find the blue dragon hanging out (naydra or somethin like that) ? i need his horns to upgrade my tunic now
