Yesterday I finally bought Bayonetta (sadly it's for PS3 because I don't have a 360)

But when I turned on my PS3 I just realized one thing: I can't play Bayonetta when my family is around!!

From what I've seen in review Bayonetta will be half-naked when she uses a technique because she's using her hair, imagined I played Bayonetta in front of my family....

This is different when I played Uncharted 2, when I played it my family amazed with the game's graphics. My mom even think I'm watching movies. And I can play Uncharted 2 with my little brother and my little cousins.

But when I played Bayonetta I must play it at midnight when everybody asleep...this is kinda suck for me

Simply put, Bayonetta is not the kind of game you can show proudly to the others, different than Uncharted 2

What do you guys think?

im a fairly immature adult and even i don't have issues with seeing nudity in front of my parents. if you're old enough to buy and play it then grow up and deal with it.

Not all Americans are like this. Not too many are - just those with very religious families I believe.

Uncharted 2 had cursing and alot of mass murder. You are a one man army it was an M game. I don't know how old you are, but if you can play that in front of anyone then Bayonetta should be no different. It's not worse.

I can understand your embarrassment. And for people acting like nudity isnt a big deal, obviously the TC is young. At that age things like that can be awkward.

I think he's embarrassed not because of a moral conscience but because there's nudity of an attractive female avatar on screen. Stuff like that used to embarrass me in front of my parents too when I was kid.

Oh most americans I've encountered here in sweden has a very different view on sex and nudity then us, my assumption is from my experince and discussion with americans. But you're surely correct if you are indeed american yourself.

Give me a break. Sex sells like crazy in America. It's everywhere. I think most people just dont find sexual entertainment appropriate for young teens and kids... I dont see what the big deal is there.

Yeah, the Japanese did comic books like Rapeman (Steve Albini from Big Black named his second band after this comic book btw), so it isn't such a big deal for them.

Sex sells in America yes, but only to a certain point. Putting a hot girl in a bikini in a car ad is on thing. Nudity is another issue and one that Americans seem very sensitive about. Janet Jackson's career almost tanked after that Superbowl incident. But Saw? Hell yeah, let's make 18 of them!!!

The controversy over that was there were children watching that game, that's why people got upset. Like I said, if it's adult oriented entertainment, I dont think many people get out raged... but if it's half-time at the Super Bowl when people of all ages are watching everywhere... I can see the controversy.

I dont think people are getting the TC's point. It's about something that could be considered sexual in front of you parents. Kinda awkward for some people.

The problem is that Video Games as a form of entertainment is still viewed, in the United States, as a child's activity. Because of this, when something violent or sexual makes its way into a game, the public (with their opinion of games the same as "child cartoon") gets outraged. Look at what happened with Mass Effect and Modern Warfare 2. Nothing in video games is as graphic as movies, but because games are viewed as "children toys" it gets that criticism.

What do you guys think?

ihsanqueen

you and your family need to get over it. if you really are ashamed of playing certain games then maybe you should find a new hobby, like stamp collecting, nice and safe and you won't insult anyone.

Who the hell watches the half time show? Almost nobody and I can guarantee that. That's the time you go to the bathroom, get some more drinks, go smoke a cigarette, get some more food. Nobody actually sits there and watches boring performer waste our time.

It dont matter, that's just a theory. The fact millions watched the super bowl that year is a fact. And if no body really watched the half time show... it wouldnt have been a big deal either.
