Bash Mass Effect, get bad reviews.

I believe that Fox News said it had "Full nudity", not "Full frontal nudity". So they were not incorrect about that.

It's true, it does have full nudity, albeit not full frontal nudity. And it does have graphic sex and graphic homosexuality, the tone and initiations of which are reminiscent of "Debbie Does Dallas" or any generic porno movie. They put as much of that into the game as they could without getting a kiss of death AO rating. The EA guy's defense of this point was just clever PR semantics.

I've been following this story on various sites and although it's unpopular amongst gamers to side with Fox News on this, that's what I'll do. It's a legit story to take issue with. Never before have mainstream video games had the amount of graphic sex/homosexuality in them that games like Mass Effect are bringing in for the first time ever. Fox News has every right to report on this and take issue with it.

EA guy has a point that there are some shows on on TV that are just as bad or worse than the game, but that is old news. Having that start to creep into mainstream video games like Mass Effect, is new a thing that deserves attention from the media.

I commend Fox News for having the balls to report on this despite knowing doing so would be unpopular, because these days, making any reports that are in any slight way against promiscuity, fornication, and/or homosexuality is considered "unacceptable" by society at large. I suspect the reason that the other media outlets didn't report on this is because the love the fact that Mass Effect is ushering all these things into mainstream video games.

No it doesn't, as I said, it has a quick peek at a butt and a side-boob. All flashing by before you get a decent look at it.

And it does have graphic sex

No it doesn't. There is nothing graphic about it unless you think kissing is graphic.

graphic homosexuality,

Well technically not really. If you play as a female and decide to go after the alien then you have to remember that their race/species are mono-gender. They just happen to look like females. And I don't see kissing as "Graphic"

the tone and initiations of which are reminiscent of "Debbie Does Dallas" or any generic porno movie.

I don't know which porno films you have seen but the sex scene in Mass Effect isn't even remotely close to a porno. It more close to one of those romantic movies for women.

They put as much of that into the game as they could without getting a kiss of death AO rating.

They could have gone worse if they had wanted too. Instead they decided to do it tastefully making it a special act between 2 people that love each other.

It's a legit story to take issue with. Never before have mainstream video games had the amount of graphic sex/homosexuality in them that games like Mass Effect are bringing in for the first time ever. Fox News has every right to report on this and take issue with it.

You haven't played much games either have you ??
Ever played 7 Sins ?? A mainstream game which purpose was to have sex with as many guys or women as possible(oh and you play as a guy in it) and feature far more graphic sex then Mass Effect.
But I suppose Fox News ignored that one.

Having that start to creep into mainstream video games like Mass Effect, is new a thing that deserves attention from the media.

It has been there for a while now.

I commend Fox News for having the balls to report on this despite knowing doing so would be unpopular

And they brought in people who didn't have a clue about the game and decided to lie about it to make themself even more unpopular ??
They wouldn't have been this bad if they actually brought in adults that did play the game.
And since the game already has a M-rating and a 18+ rating in Europe, the "OMG think of the children" mentality that Fox News tried to pull is irrelevant since children aren't allowed to play the game to begin with.

I suspect the reason that the other media outlets didn't report on this is because the love the fact that Mass Effect is ushering all these things into mainstream video games.

Or maybe because this isn't an issue hence they didn't report it.

You wont find full frontal nudity in Mass Effect. You will, however, find it here.

Preemptively closing this thread before it becomes backroom flamebait.
