Top 5 Sonic Games
15 hours 19 mins ago
It's always sad when FOX News interviews people in the gaming industry, because you know it will end up a mess. Recently FOX interviewed gaming journalist Geoff Keighley and a psychology 'expert' about the "nudity", "sex scenes" and "objectifying of women" in Mass Effect, and although Geoff sets the record straight and brings up some good points, both psychologist and interviewer don't seem to take him seriously.
But let's face it, this is FOX News ... what were we expecting?
"Fair and balanced" FOX News completely misrepresents the sex scene in Mass Effect.

Also they stereotyped that games are a guy thing only. Another thing to be annoyed about. I gotta give points to Keighley, he didn't get a big chance to talk since he was ganged up on and it was obviously rigged to just say "video games are bad look at Mass Effect, you can see a butt for 2 seconds QUICK PUT THE AO RATING ON THE GAME!" but he still managed to make some good points quickly. Also I hate the host idiot saying that kids can find ways around the security for the consoles. I wonder if the word "password" means anything to her. Finally, stuff the bitch who said "I gotta go with the research here". Technically you could say that research proved the Earth was flat, did it turn out to be flat? No (some people still believe it though, freakin forum on the web about it).
For starters as the guy said, you get a tiny bit of alien side boob and a bit of ass. This game is in no way aimed at being a sexual game, it is just trying to be realistic.
Another thing, saying about sex in games, oh *bleep*ing please, sex has been used in adverts for years and years, yet people have the audacity to slate a game that has some incredibly softcore sex in there.
Ive literally seen more sexual content in adverts then that game, what a joke. Pyschologist, did you buy your degree?, you fail.
The fact they didnt even let the guy speak is another laughable matter, its like a child going "What was that? your gay? hahahahah yea thought so" then putting music on to drown out the other guy.
If Fox thought that the interview was going to make Mass Effect look bad, HA the only thing it did was show their ignorance towards the matter, well done muppets.
Kudos to FOX, though, for at least admitting that the responsibility lies entirely with the parent, regardless of what new technology is made available.
'Luke Skywalker meets Debbie does Dallas'? How can this guy be allowed to make such a huge exaggeration? It's one of the most idiotic statements I've ever heard.
I watch Fox News all the time, but believe me when I say I'm skipping the 'Live Desk' from now on. It's hard to take someone seriously after they've just told you a split second of bare arse in a 30 hour long videogame is the SAME THING as hardcore porn.
I only wish I had an email address to complain to. Not that it'd do any use.
I wana go on that show and give that bitch a good word of mine.
Oh yea I can really get mass effect on my phone........
Talk about a complete insult to every youth gamers intelligence, what a crock of bull.
I was reading these comments and thought everybody was overreacting, but after watching it they made a lot more sense.
Anyway Once again education fails. Screw the studies, play the game, and educate your self. Cause thats where you can really see who's right or wrong.
