The censorship:
So you can't show dicks, can't show someone getting ripped apart, can't participate in torture
I have no problem with that, it's their culture, their society, they've been censoring dicks for decades so it isn't special treatment, don't cry about it now when you grovel to censor to sell in the Middle East and China.
This is the game that the kids are supposed to be playing in South Park?
Yeah I know it's South Park but in the past it would've been Halo or Warcraft or KOTOR. Now the new hotness is a game where you can literally whip your dick out? For a bunch of kids?
It's cartman. He was also extremely interested in the Nintendo wii
Warcraft was featured but all 4 boys played it
I'm just saying that elementary school kids didn't have the ability to have sex with people in games 10-20 years ago.
Remember the controversy around the "Hot Coffee mod" with Rockstar getting threatened by government officials over a feature that wasn't even in the game? (the code was there but they hid any way to get to it before release)
Now if my triple A title doesn't include a press-X-to-fuck-the-goddess minigame it's fucking lame.
Oh bullshit.
Yes, graphically things are very different now, but I came of age in the 80s and 90s and there was plenty of downloadable porn, pornographic games, etc. The early days of the Internet were wild.
I played a Star Trek text adventure game where you could fuck Troi, explicitly.
Before the Internet, there was a local BBS (does anyone remember those) with two phones lines--most only had one--that you could dial in on that had degenerate shit, super tame by today's standards, but pictures, stories, games, etc.
Leisure Suit Larry? From the 80s. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/romancing-the-code-the-hooker-scene-in-leisure-suit-larry
The same as BG3/Witcher sex scenes? Nope, but this shit has only grown with the technology. It's been there since early days.
to be fair, they could have just checked to see what new game was hot right now, and BG3 was at the top of some list, so they went with that.
Keep in mind, though, This was a scene from the south park movie...
