There was mention of prostitution, yes.

I'm seriously wondering what you can't do in this game.

I'm not sure what its limitations are. But apparently when running from the cops after a successful rape, holding the strafe key while running gives you an extra speed boost.

There's almost nothing funnier than watching Japanese tourists going nuts over all the porn with unpixelated genitals. One of the better things to look for while you're in Vegas.

Well anyone who's run from the cops in real life knows that. :p

Now this isn't exactly on topic, but I heard the reason all the japanese porn has pixilated/blurred genitals is because there is a law stating that pubic hair cannot be displayed on screen. Wouldn't the obvious way around that law be to shave all the pubic hair off? I'm confused. The Japanese have whacko laws.

AI alogrithm is intended to aggravte you by behaving in exactly the way that irritates you in a real person.

So, this businessman decides to exceute his 'wife'. A robot is built for him, they have a 1-on-1 and - you bet - the guy offs the robot...

I won't tell you the ending though :) You have to read it yourself. One of the best short stories by Bradbury.

Sounds like a good read, what's the name of the short story?

Ray Bradbury. Punishment Without Crime

Baie danke, gonna check it out and read it, just finished a book and was looking for something new anyway :)

Yes, that is the reason. I am unsure as to the specifics of the law but I'm fairly certain that even stubble counts as pubic hair. They may have unpixelated, shaven porn but I don't know.

Regardless, they'd still go nuts for it here, at the very least for unpixilated genitals with pubic hair! :p

Oh yeah, they have a film advisory board that has to watch and approve every porno made in Japan. With an output of roughly 3000 pornos a year... yeesh.

[/quote]Rape (n) - The crime of forcing a person to submit to sexual intercourse.

By that definition rape fantasies are not impossible. Case in point, I know several individuals who have rape fantasies. Now they aren't what you would call "normal", but they do exist.

Oh, yes, additionally:

Rape (n) - A plant with oil-rich seeds used as fodder.[/quote]

The first meaning is a horrible thing, the second meaning however is beautiful yet very bad for allergies.
I will stick with AOE,AOM,CIV, and those type thankyou very much.

KOL is kool too!

Maybe that's why most of their porn is underage then?

Underage by our standards. The age of consent is 14 in Japan. I think.

I'm pretty sure there are a bunch of people with strong opinion about this. I am, however, pretty ambivalent. I believe everyone has the right to fantasize about anything. No matter how taboo. There is a distinction between fantasy and reality. As long as the individual understands that, I see absolutely no problem. One should not be scrutinized for his/her fantasy no matter how bizarre, sick, or twisted another may feel about it.

It is not uncommon for people to have dark fantasies. Why do you think GTA3 was so popular? And if you look at the movie and music industry and see what make the big bucks you'd get a better picture.

Way to be narrow minded like that...it's fantasy by the way and should have nothing to do with is real life.

Check out the chick that won the planetquest tournament last year (I think planetquest, I don't know the games).

Quite a few claimed since she was so good looking someone else must have been the real player.

I agree World of Warcraft is a much safer game to play.

LOL? Like Diablo 2 Exp? Or Dungeon Siege? or ... ok, which POPULAR RPG doesn't suffer from hacking?

Right now it's in beta. The game seems semi-interesting, even if it is a bit perverse. Still, I wouldn't pay to play it, and even if it was free I'd not likely have the time to anyway. Will be interesting to see how well it does.

When i first saw this thread, i thought a game like the mentioned would be retarded & disgusting.

But if you actually read the description, it looks incredibly interesting, though there are some questionable aspects.

\no, i think its just genitals that cannot be displayed. which is why they have that creative "tentacle" work around;)

THis is... interesting. Seems like it might cause real world psychological damage to some people though, people who are too attached to their fictitious characters, like those who get married in game.

To be fair, those people were fvcked up already.

I'll agree with this. There's plenty of perverse things I've thought in my head I wouldn't ever dream of doing IRL. And frankly, I think anyone who says different is a liar myself.

If it's a fantasy, it's not exactly rape is it?

If you have rape fantasies you should get help or just get it over with and strangle yourself.

rape fantasies are very common for japanese people, many parts of their culture highlight it.
I know that. Japanese love their rape-porn.

Maybe, but they're much less open to shaving genitals than those in the West.
