Somebody should remind them about Custer's Revenge, and how it makes GTA: San Andreas seem like an E-rated game in comparison. Sex mini-games with fully-clothed characters? Please.
Over the last few days I've heard people talking about this thing all over the place and almost no one has the details right. I admit, when I first heard about the mod allowing you to have sex with the women in the game I figured it was mostly just sensationalist crap too. Then I saw the screenshots. To say the least, it's pretty graphic.
I'm a real bastard when it comes to ratings on games. I sell little kids M rated games all the time. There are quite a few games that I think should have "E" ratings instead of "T" ratings. (Super Smash Bros. for instance) But after seeing exactly what's featured in GTA:SA with the Hot Coffee mod I totally agree with the ESRB on this one. It should have an AO rating.
This is what I've gathered so far, based on screenshots and movies taken from the PC version of the mod:
The mini-game consists of a fully-clothed (thank you Jesus) CJ banging the crap out of a naked (thank you Jesus) girl. By naked I mean naked. She's naked. You can see her boobies. You can see her......private area also. This is not some kind of graphics glitch either. There is actually a texture for her naked body, including her nipples/pubic hair/everything else (this seems to be true of the PC version but I'm not sure about the PS2 yet).
CJ can have sex with her in 3 different positions; doggie-style, missionary and something else (I'm not even sure what you call it).
You can push a button to change camera angles so you can view the "romantic encounter" however you wish.
I'm still unclear about the actual goal of the mini-game, but there is an excitement meter on the right side of the screen. You can draw your own conclusions.
I just figured I would outline the details for everyone so you know exactly what you're getting into before arguing about it either way.
I'm going to get an action replay and fire this bitch up. When I've played it i'll come back here to confirm info and fill in the blanks.
EDIT: Nep and I actually loaded up the mod on my PS2 and it's not nearly as bad as the video on the internet portrays. There is no nudity at all. I honestly can't say the PS2 version is worthy of an AO rating. It's not nearly as bad as
The Guy Game. I can't speak for the PC version though, as the content seems to differ.
