Content in God of War

Postby Kawaiikneko » Mon Aug 08, 2005 7:15 pm

Alright, I got a demo for god of war in a magazine and LOVED it. So I want to rent it, but I've heard its got alot of sexual content in it. Does anyone know if this content is avoidable? Is it a sidequest that you can just not do?

The violence I don't really mind... <.<;;

The sexual content is something you cannot avoid. Bare breasts are shown in two very brief cutscenes. The first one are two females in Kratos' cabin. Just them laying there. Then it switches to the game and you can do a little "minigame" where the camera turns away, a pot shakes off of a table, with some suggestive noises. The Oracle also has a see through veil thing on and you can see her breasts in one short cutscene and ingame. You obviously don't have to do the sex minigame but you can't avoid the fact that they are sitting there bare breasted in the brief cutscene.

That's really all the sexual content there is though and if you skip the cutscene really quickly you can avoid it and just run out of the room really quickly I guess. I really love the game, but obviously I can't make excuses for the content. It's based on Greek mythology and all the violence and sex comes with that. The violence is no slouch either one of the most violent games ever, but that's usually less of a factor with most people. If you can get past the sexual content it's one of the best games you'll ever play.

How old is he? If he's really susceptible to falling into that stuff then I would not reccomend it unless he doesn't see the beginning of the second chapter and the end of the third. If he is mature enough and can look past it then I'd say it would be alright since it's brief. But I don't him just saying.
