would you buy adult only console games?

[pragmatic insanester]

seeing as the old argument was that they could only be purchased online or at adult/specialty stores, would you go the extra step to buy an ao-game?

[Big Papa Husker]

I would probably just do it to do it...

[RetroYoungen]

Depends if the game would be any good or just have a feature that earns it an AO.

[JWKobayashi]

If the game was good....?

I don't see the big deal with ratings myself. I could really care less if a game is rated E, T, M, or AO. It's the gameplay that matters. If a game is fun and happens to be AO, so be it.

[rayearthknight]

Depends...if it's only like the bishoujo text/graphics games distributed by companies like http://www.peachprincess.com (NSFW)...then no...I'll continue getting them for PC. I know that Kana Little Sister was ported to the Japanses PS2 and I think the Xbox.

[Fuyukaze]

It would realy depend on what the content of the game was as well as the kind of stores selling it. I wouldnt be interested in one that's entire selling point was gratuitious nudity. If I wanted that, I would just go rent a porn tape. If it had a good storyline that used sexual subject matter in context while presenting an involving story, I would probly be more willing to up the 50-60$ required for it. As those games dont exist or I am unaware of them, its mostly a moot point at this moment.

[MarioAllStar2600]

Yes. I don't see porn games ever catching on. But games like Leisure Suit Larry, with more graphic images and drug orinated thems DEFINATLY. If the AO rating ever passed there would be like no games for it..... that doesn't intrest people.

i dont need porn games....thats what my wife is for

[pragmatic insanester]

almost everyone here jumped on the sex issue. what about ultraviolence and story-based issues? i've always wanted something that could match some of the heights in the aforementioned catagories seen only in movies and such.

although a really disturbing sex game (like that one where you chased down some girl and raped her, a month or two ago someone posted a link to it) could spark my gag-purchase reflex.

[rayearthknight]

like that one where you chased down some girl and raped her...

funny...you just described several bishoujo/hentai games..please try to narrow it down. lol....actually, that sounds like Sensei 2.

Now, are you referring to games that a Resident Evil, Clock Tower, or Fatal Frame with more splatter? I think they'd sell...sell like hotcakes...and they would give Wal-mart a pain in the rear.

[Kamino]

If the game was incredibly gory ,such as a game where I would be able to systematically dismember people with a chainsaw....
Or other such insane gore...perhaps, simply to own a copy of what whiny soccer moms everywhere would be protesting.
Porn games? Meh......i need a point to it. A third person shooter starring porn stars? Maybe.....
Although, I don't know IF i would pass on a lesbian love version of the sims. :P

Word! Using your imagination with existing games is fun enough. Even the mere whisper of a taboo game of *Strip Donkey Kong* could change even the most frigid girls' mind about coming back to your place after having dinner. Don't forget about the ever-popular *Naked Dance Dance Revolution* (which is not recommended for everyone).

[Richter Belmount]

what for? there is perfectly good porn on the internet.

[njiska]

Hells yes i'd buy an AO game. I whent to great len gths to find the Punisher Uncensored hack v2 so i play the game as the designers originally intended and not the watered down worthless peice of crap that the m-rated version was.

[pragmatic insanester]

is there any video footage of the non-M-rated punisher?

[Tatsu]

It fully depends if I'm interested in the game or not. I wouldn't buy one just to own one. I don't mind porn or violence in a game as long as it fits the gameplay and the gameplay itself is fun. But something like strippoker or a brainless slaughter game wouldn't be enough to let me spend my money.

In general I can say that I don't care about those ratings, I'm old enough to buy whatever I want anyway.

[Videogamerdaryll]

If the game was good I'd buy it.......I'd buy a console too if it came to that..

It's all about the games to me...Good games!!

[jdc]

Depends on the game itself...and the definition of the term. Doom 3 pushes the gore/ fear/ violence envelope pretty close to the adults-only realm. For sexual titillation, DOA Beach Volleyball was voyeuristic and suggestive as hell.

As far as actual porn goes, I'm not interested in it at the magazine or movie level, so I probably wouldn't be interested in it at a game level either. Been married too long, I guess. Or maybe I haven't been married for long enough! :P

[SamuraiSmurfette]

Actually, thanks for reminding me.
I've got an AO-rated 3DO game I havn't even tried yet.
"Immortal Desires"
Should be worth a laugh.
