Sex scenes in video games

[Snowy620]

I started thinking of this as I came across a sex scene in Metro: Last Light

For those who have played any video game that includes an encounter of sexual nature, aren't they goofy? Like for some reason, they just can't get it right and it doesn't feel passionate or loving, it just looks awkward and out of place. In Mass Effect or Dragon Age, if you romance someone, you get one of the most awkward and strange sex scenes where it just doesn't... fit.

Personally, I don't think games should continue including sex/sex scenes/etc. because they never turn out right and it really ruins the mood of the game. Metro used to be about survival, horror, and story. I've been playing the game for roughly 6 hours and I've been forced to go through a strip club (and eventually have to get a dance), watch a sex scene, and few other parts like that.

I don't know, it always feels weird to me to be playing a game and then BAM, boobs on the screen.

and on top of all of this I have no problem with porn, it's their choice in life but this is just weird

The uncanny valley certainly doesn't help things.

I can't remember seeing any sex scenes in video games in recent time, and yes, I do play games outside of Nintendo.

Unlike movies or books or what have you, video games typically won't let you skip over every part of the game. I know GTAIV had me going through a strip club but I could at least skip the movie. I do remember Ubisoft's E3 conference with Far Cry 3 though.

Yeah, like if sex is in a movie or book it can be done tastefully, but for soem reason if it's in a video game it's never done right.
