So.. im buying Mass Effect tomorrow.. but might not if it has Sex Scenes..

Is there anyway to block out the Sex Scenes? my younger Brothers play my games but I dont really wanna buy this game if it has Sex Scenes like Wikipedia says..

Im thinking of the Xbox 360 version btw if that makes a difference.

There's one, it's near the end, and it's avoidable (just don't follow the romance sub-plot)

Plus you don't really see much anyway.

my save didn't have any

there is no sex scene. two characters have sex but you dont see it.

So the massive amount of killing people and things don't bother you but a not even R rated sex scene that you can see on cable any day of the week will deter you? :|

Played it and never got to the sex scene.....honestly forgot all about it.

But honestly, that above quote still stands...

Reject the females and be a hard ass 24/7 when they try to bring emotion to the conversation. And there was only controversy because FOX news had false statements of the game. Nothing is too explicit anyways, trust me you're brother will see much worse on basic cable television.

You don't want to see your younger brothers to see a sex scene more light than prime time tv but you are completely okay with them seeing all the violence? It's a M rated game! And M is for Mature, Maybe they shouldn't even play thegame in the first place?

Well watever. See for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1R2VaEmXuM&feature=related

They are right, I mean either way your younger siblings will either A. See gun violence and outlaw stuff or B. sexual romance. The only advice to give you, is don't let them play it.

It's rated M for Mature. That's 17+. It's not ok at all.

[QUOTE="toast_burner"][QUOTE="nethernova"] Like several people in this thread already pointed out. You kill people. You kill a lot of people. You even have the choice to execute a defenceless woman kneeling in front of you. Please explain to me why you think this is appropriate for your brothers while you are worried that they might see boobies.Cataclism

Are you implying that it's more difficult to put violence into context than sex is?

Sex, the most commercialized aspect of our lifestyles vs. violence, the very much shunned and punishable offense?

People are far more likely to be affected by sexual content and innuendo than they are by violence.

TC, the "sex scene" isn't really a scene at all. It's extremely scant. There's only one shot with the female's back to the screen just barely showing the side of her breast. I wouldn't say it's a big deal. I'd be a little more concerned about the innuendo in the dialogue afterwards, but not even that's very bad.

Again, are you guys trying to assert that sex is more easily put into context than violence is? Could you bother to explain such a position?

Oh noes. Sex!

I'm tired of people avoiding this subject by just zipping in, tossing out a drive by quip about violence being more audacious than sex, and avoiding any scrutiny afterwards. Someone here needs to explain their position.

Why is sex so bad? it seems ok to blow the head off and paint the walls with blood but if any sex content the whole world going under :roll:

Im not worried about violence in games neither are my parents.. its alot easier to teach young children not to do what they see in a game when it comes to Violence.. but with amount of kids who go on about sex in Primary school I just dont want them to learn bad habits and bring that **** back home.Dweedleking5000

THANK YOU!

Now if only some of the detractors can offer a similarly detailed explanation about sex being benign as opposed to violence.

ive played through it 3 times and never encountered it so its nothing you have to be concerned with

And I take back what I previously said, sex and violence are both pretty natural in humans, we automatically resort to sex or violence given the right circumstances. But why not at least glorify the trait that proliferates and not the one that destroys, if you are going to glorify one in the first place.

I'm just saying that sex, simply isn't as bad as Americans crack it up to be. So what if your son/daughter knows exactly how he/she was made at an early age. What harm can come from that? Are they going to go our and try to screw everything they see? Honestly, having them know how it works at an early age would help them understand sex more than others and thus, in my opinion, reduce the chance of them experimenting in wrong ways due to their own ignorance.

Edit: I meant violence over sex

The sex scene is equivalent to a mild hollywood sex scenes. You don't see that much at all and it's very short.

Sex in and of itself isn't bad. It's the different standards of what other outlets may consider to be "sex" that need to be policed so that parental guardians are able to put whatever sexual content children may come across into the proper context.

Violence isn't so open-ended and, what's more, it's universally looked down upon. It's easy for a kid to blow a batch of pixels into bloody smithereens and realize, "I probably shouldn't do this in real life." Sex, on the other hand, is glorified and commercialized to high hell.
