Advice

Unless it's way too offensive in content, i think it maybe ok. It's your decision really, and if you need the true and perfect answer, pray to God, and seek answer through him. Many of the Christians play Counter-Strike, and other Half-life modification. We know theres blood, and killing, shooting, but it's all digital. Unless you get addicted to it, it's ok to at least give it a try i suppose. One thing, playing game is ok, but do not let it override your relations with God. Always read bible more, pray more, then how much you play games. Remeber, we're Christians that happen to be gamers, not gamers that happen to be christians.

Yeah, especially with a game like CS. I read somewhere that some guy got really upset, and stabbed an opponent with a screwdriver.

MGS2 does have partial nudity in it. Not full nudity. You see Raiden's rear at the end of the game. That's it.
 
hehehehe i can understand the frustration that comes with cs. my bro hooked up a home network for x-mas break so ive finally been able to play it. id dl it but im 56k

Holy shnikees!  He stabbed his opponent with a screwdriver?  Wow, that's just horrible.  Was everyone ok?  I better be careful before I invite people to play Halo or something.

 I haven't played CS, although I've always wanted to.  I thought about getting it for xbox, but it's gotten such horrible reviews.  Oh yeah, has anyone played Metal Arms?  I have a demo, and it's great fun! One thing that somewhat troubles me though, is that I've seen a video for it, and one of the robots constantly uses the "f" word.  Of course it's for comedic purposes, and it's also censored.  You only here a *beep* rather than hearing him really say it. I think it's also just in the cut-scenes. Sorry to say, I found it to be kind of funny, but others may and probably do find it offensive.  I don't know what my parents would think.  So does anyone know how much of this is in the real game?
 
for me when my bro swears i just laugh. on cs he swears at me so much its funny. but that doesnt make it right. however if its bleepd i dont think its wrong
 
It can be funny when words are bleeped out for the heck of it : example taken from armed and dangerous keys trailer: russion guy: what the *beep*! (it just said beep)
 
Yup.  That's exactly how this was.  It was something like, "Of course I *beep*ing fixed him!  It was a pain in the *beep*ing waist, man!  It says he needs a new data upload. Then he should be as good as *beep*ing new."
 
Ok, I know people probably won't agree with me on this, but I'm going to say it anyway.

I've heard mixed things about DOAX.  No, I'm not a pervert, but being a fan of DOA3, I wanted to check it out.  I was a bit worried because of the bad things I had heard about it.  I asked around, and heard some good things.  I also found that usually the people who bash it have never even played it.

So I finally decided to rent it.  And what did I find?  For the most part, I found an addictive game with many different types of gameplay.  From blackjack to platform jumping, it has a great variety of minigames, to go alongside with the main volleyball part of the game.  It's great fun.

Now I'm not forgetting about the content.  There are a couple reasons why it would fail in appropriateness if I were to review it.  First, the beginning scene has brief, partial nudity.  Second, there are many revealing bikini's to buy.  Arguably, none of this was in sexual content though.  I haven't struggled with any lustful thoughts. You can even put in your age in the options menu.  I haven't been able to find out what this does yet.  You can also tell it wasn't meant to get a mature rating by the way that the songs are edited.

Again, this is only my opinion.  I would just ask people not to judge a book (or game) by its cover.  All comments are welcomed though.
 
well its prolly good u at least rented it, and btw u should do a review for CCGR.org cuz im sure that review will get alot of checking.
 
Hmm... Okay, I'll be happy to review it. People may get mad at me though, like poor Tolkein. Oh well, I really don't care if they do. I'll try to review it within the next couple of days.
 
On a note on it trigun, it has a lot more then just partial nudity in that opening scene, more like 12 seconds of full nudity. Just thought Id point that out since you're doing a review. Anyways, aside from nudity and sexual themes, which are there, as in what people dub the "toy" camera, its objectification of women is sickening, much more so then most games.
 
12 seconds?  I didn't think it was that long, but maybe...  Well, you're right about full nudity, but you can't see any detail, due to shadows.  Really, all you can clearly see is from behind.  And yes, you are free to mess around with the "toy camera" but it's really up to you.  Lots of games have camera's to mess around with.  I'm sure you could do the same thing in many other games if you wished.  Honorable mentions though, Dr. Tek.  And like I said, it's undoubtedly getting an F in appropriateness.


One thing I might note:  This is a Japanese game.  In Japan's culture, there's nothing offensive about nudity if it's not in sexual content.  Now you might argue that ALL nudity is sexual content, but I'm just telling you what I've heard before.  And I'm not saying that makes it right.  It might make things a little easier to understand though.  Another reason why many Americans think that anime is porn.


Btw, Tek, have you played the game?  Or did you just download the trailer?  Or hear about it?


Edit: Holy crud, Dr. Tek!  I timed the segment with Christie, and it was 12 seconds!!!  How did you know that?  Whatever, it was cool.  (Not the scene, but what you said.)  So anyway, I would still like to hear the answers to the questions in the above paragraph if you don't mind.  Thanks.
 
I had heard conflicting reports on the games content, so I did some research into it, including the trailer, which was deleted off my computer immediately afterwards. The 12 seconds was just a guess from what I remembered, but was it seriously that? Overall, not a game I would play, even tho I do like volleyball sims, like beach spikers, rather addictive. SOme people and me from my church compete in that every so often, lol.
 
Heh, that's cool.  The part with Christie (the naked one) did last just about 12 seconds.  That's gotta be the worst part of the game.  That, and the venus swimsuit, among a few others.

This is a very fun and addictive game though, if you ask me.  You can just choose to buy the most innocent swimsuits.  The volleyball portion of the game is fun itself, but I think a lot of the replay comes from collecting the items and swimsuits.  It can also be a challenge managing relationships.  Besides all that, there's a pretty fun pool-hopping game, where you jump across platforms at different distances, depending on how hard you press the A button, as well as several casino games.  Still, it's up to you, but you may find it to be a better game if you try it.  I don't want to force you though, and if you feel it's wrong, then don't listen to me.  I'm starting to wonder if I should review it though.  I don't write very good reviews anyway, and this is going to be a tough one...
 
Naw, I ain gonna play it, lol, A) the sexual content is apalling, and B) I dont have an XBox. I didnt research it to see if I wanted to play it or not, more or less just to see which side of opinions of it I had heard were correct, and those of a rather sexually explicit, shallow game-play depth game, tend to be a lot more accurate then those of just another "fun" sports game.
 
Well, ok. But I think it has some deep gameplay, and the sexual content isn't too bad, except for the opening scene. Anyway, I heard mixed things, so I had to see for myself. And I was pleased to find that it's much more than a virtual Barbie.
