Well logically if one is posting on these here forums, one has access to the internet and therefor access to a dearth of real pornography

Definitions of dearth on the Web:

* an acute insufficiency
* an insufficient quantity or number
 
[quote name='iceblast21']Ehhh, my opinion, without having played it (unfortunately), is that the game looks goofy and morbidly interesting. Like, yes, you probably have better ways to find porn, but you still can't... resist... checking... Guy... Game...

I mean, we're [guy] gamers here. I think the FIRST thing people should say is "PORN + GAME??? KICKASS!!!" Though I don't necessarily think this is the best way to objectify women (stupid coeds? Hasn't that been done to death and beyond???).

Why does the GUY GAME get so much flak???? Is it the presentation or the nudity??? Or that they're attempting this?[/quote]

Nice to see that for whatever reason, we're keeping this thread going, haha. "morbidly interesting" is a fairly accurate assessment. I mean, like I said, even WITHOUT nudity, people are intrigued by seeing others make fools of themselves. It's been done on the gameshow I mentioned (Street Smarts), and even Letterman does it from time to time. It's just astonishing to see how little people know about common things around them.

I also find it mildly amusing for people to refer to this game as "porn". It's merely topless girls. There have been PG-13 movies that show as much (Titanic anyone?) No, it's not exactly done in a "tasteful", "artistic" way, but it's by no means obscene. I think the negativity surrounding this game (and others like it) comes from a two-sided overreaction.

First, pre-pubescent gamers get overly excited and talk about these kinds of games like they're "Backdoor Sluts 9". Then, the conservatives freak out and tell everyone they know that the game is evil, and get it pulled from circulation.

Aside from legal issues (not to sound like a frat guy, but can anybody believe that girl was 17?), an M rated game is an M rated game. The ratings are there for a reason, and if parents would actually follow them, I doubt there would be as much of an uproar about a 17 year old seeing a few girls flash their breasts.

The subject of violence/killing vs. sex/nudity is always interesting though, but good luck getting anybody to even acknowledge that double standard.
 
My goodness people, hate on this game for the correct reasons: the HORRID minigames that make Wii Minigame Collection #4,562,854 look AWESOME by comparison and the way over-repeating of trivia questions.
 
Anyone who buys that piece of crap should be drawn, quartered, and hung by their entrails (I'm not kidding).

Here's a money saving tip for the losers in the parents' basement, hairy palmed kids out there that are so inclined: it's called Google image search, look into it. :bomb:
 
The game is damn fun. It is like a sexy European version of Street Smarts, but with no bush on camera. I like party games, I like boobs. What is so fucking bad about combining them? I have been looking for this for awhile. Now I got it in my collection. Yay!

I like the ball shot where you have to shoot the ball into the cups. It is like Skee Ball.

That was actually my favorite part of the game.
At first I bought the game thinking, "It should be fun to play with the roommates drunk." We ended up playing only one or two rounds of the "real game". In comparison, we spent hours upon hours playing the minigames. They're simple but fun. Like the Kendal said, the skeeball-esque one was good. Especially when you have 4 people playing, each trying to stop each other from getting combos.

I think you're over complicating the issue: GAMING is a kid's past time, right? Therefore, nudity in gaming is like showing porn (which to the ultra-conservative is defined as any nudity at all) to children.

Hence, people are against porn-4-children, and the Guy Game gets a bad rap. I think it's that simple.

But from that vid someone posted, it looks mildly entertaining. STREET SMARTS would be the correct comparison, and that show was pretty stupidly entertaining. Imagine the ratings it would get if it featured booby flashing! :lol:

Where the hell is South Padre island??? Seems odd that they didn't pick a place that's more well-known...

I think that's a bit of a cop out though. Maybe in the 80's you could say that, but video game developers and publishers have been working for decades to make gaming a credible source of entertainment for everyone. Many adults would put gaming right up against tv, movies, music, and books as a viable past time. I think it's unfair to say it's "for kids". Games have ratings just as movies and tv do. Even music has a "parental advisory" rating. There are products in each medium that are geared for kids...but not everything is. If people would take games as seriously as these other forms of entertainment, maybe parents would actually follow the ratings.

But an M rated game is intended for people 17 and older. If you're a parent letting your children play M rated games, you're doing far more damage to them than any corporation ever could. The amount of irresponsible parents who blindly let tv, movies, and video games raise their children is staggering. Then, they have the audacity to blame the medium when their kid shoots up his school. Last I checked, movie theaters and stores weren't selling restricted material to minors...oh, except with parents consent of course :roll:

Haha, I'm glad you can at least see the entertainment value. I appreciate the intelligent debate on the earlier stuff though. I actually think we're mostly on the same page. I agree about the ratings for Street Smarts though! Even better, can you imagine if Jeopardy worked like that?

Contestant: "Who is Stalin?"
Alex Trebek: "No. I'm sorry. We were looking for 'Who is Benito Mussolini'. Now, show us your tits!"
