No but seriously Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy for you yanks) had a sex minigame where you thrust by pressing the mount button and moving the mouse forward.
also Heavy Rain had a romance subplot that I quite liked.
ending spoiler!
I liked it too and then who find out who the killer is and it ruins the whole thing because HOLY FUCK that guy just used the kid he killed to get some
I heard that originally, heavy rain would randomly pick one of the playable characters to be the origami killer each time you started a new game, with hints about who it was changing
probably not feasible but that woulda been neat
That woulda been lame. I had literally no idea who the killer was till the reveal, knowing how narrow a scope there is would have ruined the game for me.
Also it probably would have been terribly done.
Well presumably they couldn't do it right, which is why they abandoned it. If they could do it right it would be cool, but you'd have to remake large sections of the game - it's not feasible, like on the cooking shows you're always better off making one good dish than putting 4 different dishes on one plate.
I was disappointed with the writing and VO in much of the game as it is, but it was an admirable attempt and I'll immediately but their next game just to support not doing the exact same thing as every other game studio
I don't hate or resent TOR; I had a good time with it for something like six weeks. I do think it's a bit of a shame that a really high-profile, really big-budget MMO (possibly the last new really high-profile, really big-budget MMO for a long, long time to come) decided to only innovate in one way instead of trying to inject new life into the whole tired MMO thing, but oh well.
That I can definitely agree with. I guess they thought the IP alone would be enough to carry it. It's funny too because I'm actively enjoying GW2 just as much as I did TOR and it doesn't have that bonus SW nostalgia fuel. Its just a refreshing change to a lot of the old MMO tropes.

I'm sure at least three people saw this sign while it was being made. Not one of them thought:
The quotation marks here are needless
or
These quotation marks are typographic but both are in the same orientation
Or if they did have that thought, none had the will to actually do anything about it.
And so the sticker was designed, professionally printed, and plastered inside a hundred public transport vehicles and our world became just a tiny bit of an uglier, dumber, worse place.

I just think limiting the decision to one planet begs for a PR backlash.
The paywall? Whatever. Every game has a paywall, it's called fucking buying the thing.
But if you introduce something like this into the game, make it universal. Hell, even make discriminatory planets that play into the narrative in some way.
Just don't put it one one, distant planet.
So you wanted a full blown gay expansion, in which they introduced romantic subplots on multiple worlds, added new NPCs, modified earlier quest lines,etc etc?
I mean, they could do that... But that seems more like the domain of a massive expansion pack as opposed to just a new content addition like this one was.
Who's to say they are done making same-sex relationship options now? Should they NOT have released the ability to get gay lovin' in-game until they had enough content cooked up to spread it across the galaxy? Content that people are mad they have to pay for already, so how much more would all that extra development time / voice acting / bug testing cost?
This is the biggest of non-issues, especially since Bioware has always at least tried to do the right thing in this area, and LucasArts is backing off their previous stance. This is a positive news story, damnit.

Sometimes I feel bad I'm not logging in GW2, then I don't because it has no monthly fee. I'll definitely come back for new content because its a good game
GW2 has as many missteps as TOR I feel, but by not launching with a sub fee and by focusing more on having a fun leveling experience they got more hours out of me. If GW2 launches a wuvwuv focused expansion that adds more maps, somehow gets rid of queue times, and more structured rewards for wuvwuv?
I will play that and never stop

the quotes make it sarcastic and mean that I should not take it seriously and that it is a figurative warning as opposed to a literal warning, thus I should be able to sue if they actually record my "Voice" or "face"

is this... the decapitated bikini wearing statue, because that thing is horrible
Like if it was just a bit sexist and it was a whole zombie? That wouldn't be so bad (especially if they had a male zombie one as an option). They could have just done a statue of the flight attendant from the game since she's on the cover art for the first game, wielding a machete

Toast some bread, add leftover meatloaf, maybe freshen it up with some ketchup. Plain but delicious.

The tech demo was nothing to do with the new IP.
Here's a gameplay trailer. The main character is voiced and motion captured by Ellen Page!
and stare at Ellen Page's huge forehead right?
