In The Walking Dead Telltale did remove two instances of mentioning rape. The first was going to be mentioned by Ben, he would say that the … morebandits had gotten into their school and raped his peers to death and forced him and several others to watch. The second instance would have been Carver insinuating that what he and Rebecca did wasn't consensual. So who knows if it'll even be brought up? It might be, but at the same time it could be ignored if it has no place in the story.
I'm less concerned about the nudity and more concerned about the copious amounts of rape that's depicted in both the books and the show. Tel… moreltale has kinda, sorta maybe touched on it a little bit in their previous games, but nowhere near as graphically or blatantly as in the books and show. If the game happens to be set pretty much any time during the War of the Five Kings it's pretty much a given that we'll have to deal with it in some capacity. God I hope we never stumble across The Mountain or his men in this game.
I don't know if they removed anything or not, but I don't think that they are afraid to mention rape in the game. After all in The Walking Dead Season 1 Jolene claimed that the bandits raped her daughter. Or at least it was strongly hinted.

I agree that people exaggerate. GoT has some nudity, but no more than in your average HBO series. Shows like Spartacus have much more nudity and sex scenes, although I think that they could have had even more sex and violence without going over the top. But apparently it was too much for some people, so your mileage may vary.
Ive always thought people overexaggerated the nudity issue. Except for a few choice scenes, it's not that bad. Usually, those scenes are in context, like at the brothel.
The worst thing about the gratuitous nudity and sex in Game of Thrones is that it repeatedly fails to give me an erection. It just wastes ti… moreme that could be better spent elsewhere and causes the writers to ditch major plot points so they can show us lots of tits.
There is a lesson to be learned here, Telltale.
Yeah, fair enough. The books have had their randomly explicit moments as well, but that's easier to skim. And they don't have to cut out important content for the sake of fitting those scenes in the books.
oh of course you cant, sex should have a purpose when shown. Showing a characters relationship through that is fine
That said some scene… mores were a bit unnecessary in the books too. I mean ive just be reading dance with dragons and some of the Asha scenes are a bit pointless
It isn't all-consuming, thankfully, but when it shows up you know that it isn't being put in there for the sake of the plot. It's just there because at some point it was decided the only way to get people to watch this kind of show is to have a good number of naked women and sex scenes. You get the sense they have a quota to meet.
In Season 3, think of what could have been done with five extra minutes.
The full tragedy of Catelyn's story could have been pressed home by giving Michelle Fairley more dialogue. Her husband was murdered. To her knowledge, all of her children except Robb are either dead or lost to her. The war effort is falling to pieces, so it looks like she might lose him as well if she can't convince him to sue for peace. All of this could be said to be her fault, since her seizure of Tyrion Lannister kickstarted the war. And then the Red Wedding. She's one of the most tragic characters in the series.
They might have shown the Freys abandoning Robb's war effort in a rage after he breaks his vow to marry one of Lord Walder's daughters, leaving the northern forces short thousands of men-at-arms and knights. Instead of having the Freys suddenly injected into the plot again just before the Red Wedding, their presence in the war could have been reinforced more naturally.
What were those five minutes used for instead of either of these things or some other important bit of plot? Pod the Sex God and his adventures in the brothel.

I did find that scene rather amusing and I did feel that it had it's place in the show. It did lighten the mood and brought some humour into that episode.

You could mark your post with the spoilers tag. I haven't played that game yet, because I'm still waiting for the PC version (which probably never happens).

I know, but there's always the possibility that they will change their minds. For example Alan Wake was originally for Xbox only, but eventually they made improved PC version a few years after the original release.
There will most likely be nudity like on TWAU yes. But I think that a sex scene will be optional. And if you choose it, maybe just maybe, there will be a lot of button bashing as usual
Sex scenes in video games are usually either horribly awkward, or very horribly awkward.
Perhaps if Telltale has some magic touch for this kinda thing I don't know of.
While it was definitely the best I've seen it done in a game, there's still the fact that Geralt never takes his pants off while Triss/whoever Geralt happens to be lying with is completely butt-naked.

God I hope not. That was just awkward in Heavy Rain. And fyi, the show isn't famous for nudity, it's the entire HBO network that's famous for it. And just them. I haven't read the book, whatever.
When you introduce the interactivity, it becomes less about satisfying the audience with gore and sex and more about offering the player the choice to do the gore or sex or whatever, it doesn't necessarily need to be shown and it really shouldn't, because that's when you start to teeter on the edge of art/interaction/narrative/whatever and just straight-up selling sex.
The line is fine, but zigg-zaggy. Here, I don't think they should go for it, and just stick to letting the player mull over the normal passionate, political, or otherwise roleplay-ish reasons why they would decide to pursue a physical relationship with a character. If you want to just say "we'll bang, ok?" to every person of the protagonist's preferred orientation you meet, fine, make that your/the protagonist's thing, just don't expect the actual sex to be the focus.

Three, they also removed dialogue that hinted that Troy had raped Jane.
I thought those were mentions of sexual harassment? Maybe I was wrong.
Ah maybe, I'm not sure.
If they include a rape, I will be very surprised. They might alude to something that like but I dont see it being shown or anything.

Yes, but they won't go over the top with it unless the story requires it.

Is there any other reasons to include rapes into the game than story reasons?
None that I can think of.
there are some gay moments in the tv show
QTE sex scene.... cough Heavy Rain cough cough
Hold your horses, Faith and Nerissa don't like what your saying.
Bigby's dream will finally come true. lol
Oh I know
There's a QTE sex scene in Heavy Rain? I don't remember it.
Ethan and Madison do it after Ethan either kills some guy or lets him go.
Oh boy, time to expand on Ser Barristan's characterization and the morality of the small council!!
No? Had to make room for that sex scene?
Sigh...

E-mailing Telltale as we speak

Oh, okay. Thanks! I remember the bit you're talking about but not the sex scene though. I trust you anyway.

Sorry(I thinks it's PS3 only)
The thing about Heavy Rain is the story just falls apart after you learn about Shelby
I know, but there's always the possibility that they will change their minds. For example Alan Wake was originally for Xbox only, but eventually they made improved PC version a few years after the original release.
when was there nudity in TW-
oh i remember now
8*
Some scenes can be done right in gaming, I think Witcher 2 manages to do it with Triss.
QQQQQQQQQQQQE to thrust.
I think The Witcher games are the only games who do sex right, everything else is just bodies grinding on eachother.
While it was definitely the best I've seen it done in a game, there's still the fact that Geralt never takes his pants off while Triss/whoever Geralt happens to be lying with is completely butt-naked.
lol, true.
His penis has witcher reflexes you just never see it leave his pants.
Mass effect kind of pulls it off... Ehhhh.
'Press E to cup'
...debatable. For the most part it's just people rolling around in their underwear. After ME1, anyway.
Show me your cunt.
