With the recent excitement surrounding the inclusion of full-frontal male nudity in Grand Theft Auto 4′s downloadable content, we take a look back at the best and worst nude moments in recent gaming history.
Next time you’re on a multiplayer server, you might want to ask everyone who’s a Canadian, and then ask who among them are dudes. Because according to a Microsoft survey, every fifth one of them (in the long run) has gamed in the nude, and might be doing so now.
Microsoft commissioned a pretty serious poll up in the Great White North, asking Canadians all sorts of questions that sound like a Cosmo bedside astrologer survey, if “game” is used as a euphemism for “sex”. Do you game at work? (30 percent). Do you game in the bedroom? (27 percent). The bathroom? (7 percent — WTF?!) In public? (19 percent). And yes, they asked who does it completely bare. The answer 17 percent of Canadian men, 9 percent of Canadian women.
The folks over at Loot Ninja have posted an open, earnest request for developers to pay attention to certain…details in design. Namely jubblies. Naked ones.
Since majority of the video game players of the world are over 18, putting in some sex or just random nudity shouldn’t be a problem. Don’t we have a fully robust ESRB system where games are clearly marked as Mature or Adult only? I can see people just coming out of the woodworks to complain that there is nudity…but again isn’t that why games are rated? What other purpose do the small letters in the corner of games boxes serve?
But slowly, the argument…digresses…
