Not to sound racist but can you play anything other then a white guy or a white guy with a dark tan in this game?

Originally posted by Krulos Um... NFL stands for National Football League. So USA basketball failing to capture the gold medal in recent Olympics and qualifying tournaments has nothing to do with it. The NBA now that is something else entirely. That said... the United States has not been sending it's best players to these things for quite some time, and our system was flawed or not as good as other countries in preparation. We made mistakes and took a lot for granted. That said this years senior national team Defeated Argentina to Claim Gold at the FIBA Americas Championship, and look poised to continue their success abroad. We are sending better and better athletes to compete (read: not the b and c list stars) and have embraced a long term team concept instead of just slapping people together with a few weeks of practice. The world has certainly closed the gap in basketball skill for a number of reasons but it is not like our country is not right there. As to Conan I think you should make racial allowances within the existing lore. It seems that this has been done to best of my knowledge. As to the comments on these forums some are inappropriate, some are in good humor. Personally I support accepting we are all people first and leaving color out of it. The more you point out how different we are in areas that don't count the more easily you over look the things that do. We are all people. |

Hey if they were crushing all your planned games, and you were there through all the turmoil that was Origin/EA at the time you might have walked away too. |

Yeah they have amazing artists on the payroll for sure. The look and feel of the game appears to be spot on with the lore. That is the major reason I am checking it out. |

Adult Sex MMOs - Kiddies please DO NOT read this thread

Well Kyle, thing is no one made you judge jury and executioner. There is more than one side to every story, and opinions as they say are like.. well you know. Personally I find your mode of communicating more annoying and detestable than people who might enjoy a bit of a romp through graphical world that enabled it's users to enjoy each other sexually.
Sex games have been around a long time, sex in games dates back to at least the C64, and those games were just plain fun in my opinion. Sex in games is not going to go away and in fact doing a quick Google of the topic will reveal a number of mature, and interesting articles on the subject matter. These discussions have spurned interest in other concepts such as conception in games, and a number of other issues we have yet to see. Just because it does not appeal to you does not mean it is worthless as a concept, and not one of us has a right to insult others for stating an opinion contrary to our own. Bottom line is sex is a pretty popular seller and in time you will see it more and more in our games. This has already come to pass, do I need to list the games where sex, and sexual situations play a major or minor role? Ever play those popular gangster shoot up the town while stealing car games? You do know that picking up a prostitute gives you back full health right? Sex, in the game. There are plenty of other cases of it, and in fact one of the people in Sims on-line made a massive amount of money off opening a brothel in game. If you care to read up on it the article I read was here: http://www.alphavilleherald.com/archives/000049.html I see sex in games becoming just another sex aid, there are many and I can assure you that most of the adults you know have used and enjoyed them. Can these worlds be harmful? Well maybe they could if people let them that is not the fault of the game. It is the people who play them and the people they were raised by. Is Heavy Metal responsible for a kid going loony? Is AD&D to blame for suicide? So a game where someone gives out their real life info is not to blame it is the person who did it, and you can see that going on everywhere. Just look at to catch a predator. Do you blame Yahoo for all the perverts who use their forums? Your post is hard to read full of "leet speak" and "doodisms". I do not blame WoW for that. I blame you. Can you follow that analogy? |

I think adult or sex themed MMO games are an excellent idea, the ones that are out there that are calling themselves mmos leave a lot to be desired.
That said I think adult oriented sex games will be along eventually, we just need to get more baby boomers out of positions of power. I never get over the fact parents let kids play games where you shoot zombies in the face and brains and gore splatter all over you and others like this all the time but "boobs" in a game will make their heads spin off like Linda Blair on crack. Red Light District is laughable I am afraid, and Sociolotron is rough on the eyes. |

Thank you for the heads up, I thought for sure yet another MMO free to play our of one of the Asian countries was going to be all kinds of great.
Always remember you get what you pay for. |
