i am a writer, and one thing that i've considered for the game im working on is sex. but im not sure if everybody will think of it as ok. only a handful of games have succesfully put sex in the stories. james bond (though its in the movies), gta had it (ala hoes and hot coffee), and thats about it. romance is damn hard to write about without going into clesche'.

There was a fun sex minigame in God of War. No controversy, either.

As a "writer," I expect you to know how to spell cliche.

I was gonna bring up God of War too. The minigame was worth a chuckle, but not much else.

I think a good chunk of the "Hot Coffee" flap was Hilary Clinton attempting to manufacturer a "Sister Soulja" moment for herself.

clesche, clesche man... nice made up word.

Go play this game called 'Indigo Prophecy'. The world is about to end, so you make sweet love in it.

I think people play games because they can't do the stuff they are playing in the real world. Now if you like to play sex video games, what does that imply about yourself?

That you wish all women came in size 38FF 24 36 and that putting certain dangling body parts in corresponding orifices to perform particular actions was as easy as popping your CD in the tray and clicking the left mouse button.

But that's just my opinion.
Oh and don't worry I've gotten some from Saturday to Wednesday straight. I must say I'm a whole lot stronger for it as well [grin]

games dont have sex? where did you get that idea?

So you got GTA and God Of War plus Indigo profecy mentioned there.

Lets add:
Ultima VII: The Black Gate mentions that the Avatar is a virgin (he/she can touch an unicorn) but in Ultima VII: Serpend Isle the Avatar can get all friendly with the barmaid. You dont see anything except that he actually goes to bed with her and then the game changes to next day's morning.

Fable you can become the owner of a brothel and make use of its employees for free. There is a special door that only opens if you score more than x diferent women.

Then you have Larry games from Sierra.

You also have numerous adventure games with romance in them. All of the final fantasy games involve a love affair (quite often a love triangle). Even Kingdom Hearts has Sora competing for the nice gal.

Of course most games dont go into explicit but thats just because... well its a bit dumb isnt it? Want to see that just go get a proper movie for it. Although Voyeur makes it quite a nice game of it.

Romance can easilly be added into a game. Games like Vampire: The Maskerade (both redemption and bloodlines) are supercharged with sexuality from clothes to innuendo.

If you want it or find it acceptable put it in. Even quite a lot of adventure books involve a nice romp between the main chars... hell Elminster seems to have gotten laid with every woman in toril.... including everyone of the seven sisters! Storm Silverhand tends to walk around naked and the Symbul is usually wearing a tattered dress. Cattie Brie has definately been getting naughty with Drizzt and as for dark elfs... well lets just say that dark elf graduating ceremonies dont involve clothes... unless they elves are getting inventive. Plus they come with extra demon! Dragloth (spelling) anyone?

EDIT!!! OH OH OH!!! I FORGOT LULA (i think thats what it was called). In this game (there are two of them I think) you play the part of a scoundrel that finds this hot babe that loves sex. She convinces him to start making movies and there you go, you become larry flint!

dont forget all those crazy dating games being pumped out in japan

Let me add more games to the list:

Fallout 1 and 2 plus Fallout Tactics they all had some sex implemented but there was nothing ever shown, mainly discussions about it plus results of sex later in the game (characters being poisoned or impregnated).

In Jagged Alliance 2 mercenaries could go to the escort houses but their main activities there were represented by this smiley, winking face. Once done the soldiers morale was at its top level but he was tired ;-)

Grim Fandango and other adventure games. Well not much sex there but lots of romance (actually the guy is trying to find his beloved lady skeleton throughout the whole game).

Note the Sex & Games forum on IGDA and the associated SIG.
