![]() If anything, I find it a little odd that in the United States there aren’t more laws governing certification of games. Part of the problem seems to be the misconception that some people have that all games are for children, despite some having 18 certificates on the front of them (or M for mature if you’re in the US). I find it a little strange that it’s fine for games to be gory as hell and feature decapitation and dismemberment (hello Fallout 4‘s Bloody Mess Perk…I still love you) but some people go crazy if they feature sex and nudity. But please…won’t somebody think of the children? Not a good game to play in the same room as your granny. In Monster Monpiece and its follow-up Moe Chronicle, you have to touch or rub girls in the right place in order to power them up. They’re far from the best depictions of sex that I’ve come across in games though and I’ll explain why below. I buy them expecting some sexy, silly fun and they deliver. I don’t buy them expecting Shakespearean epics or a deep philosophical discourse. Some of those games are almost like Japan’s answer to the Carry On films…it’s kind of naughty but in a very silly way. They’re not quite hentai ( a sub-genre of anime and mangas featuring overtly sexualized characters and sexually explicit images and plots) but they are fan service heavy games. It’s done in more of a pervy and comedic manner. None of them feature it maturely or even make any vague attempt to do so. ![]() I wouldn’t even say that the games I highlighted above handle sex particularly well. I even went so far as to import the international version of Moe Chronicle which had English subtitles, as it frustrated me that it wasn’t available to buy in my part of the world. I’ve completed Monster Monpiece and Akiba’s Trip. I also own Criminal Girls: Invite Only and Dungeon Travellers 2 – all games which feature sex or semi-nudity in some form. It would be very hypocritical of me to condemn any of you who enjoy those kind of games, as I enjoy them too. Wait…is this just going to be a rant condemning pervy games and oversexualised characters? ![]() I’ll look at some of the varying approaches, touch on some of the moral issues with the way that sex is depicted and whether depictions of sex in games can have a real-world impact. I will take a look at the various ways that games handle the subject of sex. In this article, I will discuss the issues with including sex in games.
