knowing the prudes, it probably would have a negative impact. of course there's enough tomb raider hentai floating about on the web it won't make much of a difference.

Down. They'd be banned probably.

Point.
Though doesn't God of War have a mini game where you have to pleasure two women at the same time?

Huge pic of Bastila. She's certainly attractive, but I prefer Lara over her.

Whaa--?? Sounds like fun.

But is it hardcore like porn movies or what? If so, I'd be really surprised that made it into a non-porn game.

Chances are that it could make the game suck.

Besides, if I wanted to see/have sex with Lara Croft that bad, I'd either go elsewhere online or just go to bed.

Ooops.

But unlike the other two, she rarely talks anything!

I know Cate Archer and still prefer Lara over her. But now, this Bastila...hmm. I shall return with image(s).

If you haven't played KOTOR, now you have a good reason as any.

She looks 1000^99 better ingame! *goes to find pics*

I don't dispute the fact that it could only lead to negative ramifications to the game and the game industry as a whole, but why would the content itself suck? If that were the ending of the game, a chance to fuck Lara Croft, why would it make the game suck? That'd rule! Lara wankers would have their dreams fullfilled!

No she doesn't. Out of all of the images I've seen of her, I think she looks the best in that painting. But by all means, post whatever you find.

Including in-game pornographic aspects tend to decrease the overall quality of the game itself, mostly due to lack of effort towards gameplay. Not to mention the whole oddity of having sex scenes for a character that the player controls.

I think there might be some small gender issues as well...

That small ingame pic (added to my post above) I was able to find on a short notice doesn't do "her" justice.

Hmm...well maybe next time I go over my cousin's house I can demand to see her. He has it on SEXBox--err--XBox.

You're probably right, but looking at it from the POV of heterosexual adolescent males whose fantasies have always been to fuck Lara's brains out, I'd say it'd be the best feature ever implemented in a game.

I haven't found anyone else better looking than her. I demand you supply us all with visual evidence to support your claim.

Helena from Dead or Alive.

Here she is in the spin-off beach volleyball game.

And one more.

Pretty much any of the DoA girls are jaw-droppingly gorgeous.

When I'm emperor of the world, I'm going to create a special Minister of Videogame Women, whose job it will be to ensure no video-babe will have below a D-cup.

Bah. Actually, I prefer Ivy Valentine over all of those DoA girls. And I'm not quite sure whom I prefer when it comes down to Ivy vs Lara. Tons of Ivy images.

Sophitia vs. Helena vs. Mai Shinurai.

...WHAT?!

A matchup like that one calls for Zorro, whose masterful swordplay will doubtless up the... erm... human interest in the battle.

Hell yes. In voice, appearance, and especially attitude,, I'd take Ivy over Sophitia any day.

Nah, you only get to hear voices, and a jar gets rocked off a pedestal and breaks.

You get an assload of powerup orbs the first time you do it, though.

Ivy's got some simply wonderful throw moves that makes the submissive in me get all tingly...

How could they go down? Five people bought Angel of Darkness, and there's at least five people IN THIS THREAD that'd buy a revisioned version.

What are you talking about? Including hardcore pornography into a video game would cause all of the Joe Lieberman-types to try to ban the game. And if they don't succeed in banning the game, it'd get a lot of bad press anyways. Also parents wouldn't allow their children to buy the games since they would hear about it in the news. Usually parents don't know wtf is in video games and their kids wind up getting it because they lie about the content in it. But with the shit storm created over porn in a TR game, they're bound to find out what their kids are playing.

And there are those who wouldn't want it in the game, like Spanky, and might not buy it out of principle.

Yup, but how often we see a good-looking *in-game* chicks? Sure Rinoa Heartily looks hot, but in the trailer, doesn't she?

Except... Probably I'm just light-years behind new games.

It's hard to find a good image of her online, but have a look at Elite Force's Kleeya.

The only half-way decent shot of her is from the back. (Sorry, but you have to scroll down to the 4th image... I'd spend some time with her in Stellar Cartography.)

Oh hell, 'whats with the thing about people wanting to see VG chicks in their birthday suit?' apparently there was enough with it that playboy did an entire section on it and featuring a few characters in the buff (notably Rayne from Bloodrayne).

VG Porn in mainstream games? its only a couple hundred thousand religious fundamentalists away. To be effective it would have to be an 'Under the Radar' game, IE, no promotion and NO scheduled release date. slip it in silently to store shelves and let the buzz rise, by that time it would be too late for them to react and pull it, because by that time its mainstream and people will already have it.
