Topic: Is it ok to have rape scenes in games?

[Ponch]

Wait a minute. There are TWO words for library in German? When did this happen? I don't recall anyone mentioning it on the nightly news.

If you ask me, having more than one word for a thing seems inefficient. And I thought you Germans were known for your efficiency.

I can no longer trust what I see on the news is what I'm saying. So thanks, Cat. Now I can never trust anyone again.  



EDIT: Chicky, we resolved the rape issue. (i.e. It's bad, but impossible to avoid if you use the AGS engine -- or something like that). Now we're talking about odd dots over vowels. Please try to keep up!

Chicky, that hurt. Not all Serbs are that way.

[Chicky]

Dude, you said they all think Rape is better than nudity!

Yes. Rape and umlauts go together like peanut butter and chocolate. Well done, Chicky. Well done.

[Chicky]

Okay Milos, sorry if i hit a nerve. Personally i thought the film was very well directed, it certainly left an impression. Obviously i do not base my opinion of Serbia on the content of a film.

Is the weather nice? It's pretty cold and wet here, and lonely, yup, sure is lonely. At least i learnt about umlauts.

[Milos Regamer Jevtic]

Thanx for understanding Chicky, it's pretty nice over here,but cold as shit at night, and when i'm not making a game, i look outside from a window, wondering. But thank you for asking. Can we be friends?

[Khris]

Amazing analogy with Greece. Clap, clap, clap. If I ever came to Germany and asked people directions would anyone go RTFM? And if they do, do I have the right to step over them for being so fantastic people?

Analogies don't seem to be _your_ strong point at all though. You're looking for "asking directions while a perfectly fine tourist map of the city sticks right out of their back pocket/is plastered all over the wall behind them". Now if they have trouble with reading that map, which is perfectly understandable, that's another story, and curiously, I do get asked for directions quite a lot and I'm always happy to help.

And as you can see here, it wasn't until he got into Icey mode that I started to get slight less helpful.

The problem here is that you're simply one of those people who just can't see all the hundreds of different shades of grey between black and white.

[Milos Regamer Jevtic]

Khris, i appriciate your help, but i'm no Icey, i am serious 80 percent of the time, and i have periods, that what you call "Icey mode" i call it "Acting like a totally retarded idiot that i am not mode" those are just small time periods, that all of you must addapt to when talking to me, or you can continue to talk crap that i won't listen to, this is for everyone, not only Khris, so if you can at least ignore my periods, it's fair enough. I am just trying to make a game here, and if you really want to help, then try not to be a shitballs prick. I can be a prick myself, but i just shut up when i hit the line.Oh and thank you for the script.Again.

You just changed my life, sire. The amazing allegories, the metaphors, the deepness of the thought, I can't even begin to imagine. I am quite sure that NO ONE EVER has given any directions. and everyone that is driving is like in blade runner, and that's a fantastic idea for a utopia.

In fact I have the belief, that the world is a fantastic place. LET US ALL DANCE LIKE LEOPARDS.

You're not even a troll, you're just an elf.

Damn, I seriously want to reply to this thread but everytime I try to write something this questions keeps popping up: What does a dancing Leopad look like?
Anyway back to the topic: What kind of rape are we talking about here - something like beaver rape? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp0vaHe-e70)

[Pablo]

Nobody complains about murdering people in games, why should raping be a problem? There are rape scenes in many films. Sure, some people find that very controversial (same thing with murder) but if it's important for the plot, of course you should include it. Just be ready when sensitive people start bombing you with angry e-mails.

[Khris]

those are just small time periods, that all of you must addapt to when talking to me, or you can continue to talk crap that i won't listen to

I rest my case.

I am quite sure that NO ONE EVER has given any directions.

You are too dense to understand my arguments so I'll stop this right now. Like I said, I didn't know why I bother.
If you want this explained, write me a PM.

[Dualnames]

Hold on, nigh rider baby

Ride in the night, la la la la

[Milos Regamer Jevtic]

Pablo, your last name wouldn't happen to be Greco? Heheh, tiny joke there, don't be angry.The rape idea was removed, but that doesn't mean i will not include buckets upon buckets of blood and gore every few minutes, maybe i overdid it there but, who knows, what if this game turns out to be gorier than the whole Chzo Mythos serial or something.

[Snake]

Just keep in mind though, Milo, that buckets upon buckets of blood and gore doesn't make a game good. It's the story itself. Gameplay is of course another factor, but just because you're adding in lots of gore doesn't mean it'll be better than anything else.

I'm a huge horror fan, but I don't play horror games or watch horror movies for the blood and gore. I could care less about that, honestly. It takes away from something that could be better, I think.

[Milos Regamer Jevtic]

Well i don't wanna reveal any part of my story, but i say, from my point of view... Pretty original, and maybe a bit deep, i can't be a jack of all trades, but a Sad drama mask wearing psycho is pretty original,and no, i'm not trying to use gore over story, the game itself will be pretty clean, a mild curse here and there, but when it comes to killing scenes, i won't hold back my bloodlust and imagination, oh by the way, it's Milos, with a S. Oh and is the game name Crimison Bath taken?

[Snarky]

Now that's what Google is for. I'm pretty sure the name is not taken though.

Go ahead, make your game and have fun!

Milos: Remember, the minimum age here is 16 - if you're unable to act that age, don't post.

You have to start thinking about what to write and how to write it, before you hit that Post button.

A good start is to avoid leet speak, and to ask yourself if what you post is really necessary, or just provocative.
