unless the reviews blow balls, I plan on picking this game up shortly after its release. Can I posse it up?

Wow, I sent an email to Rockstar asking about the nudity and actually got a response (relatively quickly in fact).

Hey Chris,

Thanks for the email. The West is Wild, but Marston is a happily married man. The sexual content referred to in the ESRB descriptor is entirely appropriate not only to the game story, but to the reality of the period and the setting. It is also confined to two brief sections of cutscenes which can, if you desire, be skipped. We considered removing it, but felt it was necessary to show the character of the people involved. It definitely is not gratuitous nor remotely excessive.

Cheers,
Rockstar Games

Message: Quick question. I'm really interested in RDR but am weary of how much "nudity" is in the game (the wife will hate it). Is it one or two scenes or prevalent throughout the game? Thanks! -Chris

I can handle that. Didn't ask about the profanity because after thinking about it you all are right, it's going to be everywhere.

"Perhaps...Do you have a mind that seeks enlightenment and a heart that seeks purity?

No? Okay. Are you a confused adolescent desperately seeking acceptance from an undifferentiated ego mass that demands conformity?

You are? Great! Then all you need is a dark-blue jogging suit."

(That's a Yes in Family Guy terms)

Welcome to the posse. Suppose I ought to make an "official" thread now 'eh? :awe:

Dude - that sucks your wife is so controlling over it. You may need to cut back on the Xbox, but she needs to loosen the leash. My ex was like that and it sucked. My fiancee not only doesn't mind nudity, she's cool with me Xboxing when I want.

Oh she's not controlling, but at the same time I respect her enough that I try not to play something that will outright offend her. Personally I'm not really a fan of nudity or tons of profanity in games either.

She got soured on video games when she spent an entire summer living with her two brothers (which she was super excited about) only to have them spend all day and night playing World of Warcraft...

Hah, WoW all day and night - sad, so sad.

I'm lucky mine is so understanding. Her ex played Xbox 24/7 rather than doing anything productive and her younger brother also plays damn near 24/7. All she asks is that I use headphones if she's in the room!
