Mass Effect, The Witcher, San Andreas Hot Coffee Mod, Sega Bass Fishing 2, Cyberpunk 2077.

It's pretty common.

Sega Bass Fishing 2

Sorry, what ?

[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 87 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I don’t recommend it, but going bass-to-mouth was a very popular and hyped feature addition for SEGA Bass Fishing. I’m surprised this is the first you are hearing of it

im sorry the what was recommend and the what was hyped for the who?

[–] Peter1986C@lemmings.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bass-to-mouth is a South Park reference (AFAIK) and I suppose some folks in this thread are joking.

yeah that sounds like the internet to me

[–] jaaake@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago (4 children)

The Witcher and Cyberpunk I’ll give you, but Mass Effect definitely fades to black before getting to actual sex, the other two are mods. I wasn’t saying sex in games doesn’t exist, but if we’ve gotta go back several decades for a handful examples, that doesn’t feel like something that’s “common.”

BG3. The sex scenes in that are just a slight camera angle away from full blown porn. And it's also incredibly new.

If I'm not mistaken the Hot Coffee mod restores content made by Rockstar that was cut last minute.

[–] brenticus@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Yeah, there was a whole kerfuffle about it because all the files were still on the disc, therefore some jurisdictions re-rated the game to some version of adults only. Rockstar definitely did all the development work to get that sex in the game, they just decided not to show it in normal gameplay.

Mass Effect Andromeda had one or two fairly graphic sex scenes. Nothing more than what you'd typically see in an R rated Hollywood movie.

Unfortunately the scenes were with the most human characters. Imagine my disappointment when it just did fade to black with the Turian girl...

[–] micka190@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I think "common" here would refer to having to produce them, over the actual explicitness of the scene. Whether Mass Effect fades to black or not isn't really the point when the voice actors still have to record the lines that play while the screen is dark.

Pretty cool of them to mocap a real bear :D

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Dragon Age, too. Then ask the Fahrenheit line of games. There's a lot overall.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

One of the new Wolfenstein games too.

I don't think you can count hot coffee, though. That was cut before release.

What was the first video game with a sex scene? Custer's Revenge?

[–] Summzashi@lemmy.one 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It was shot and produced no? That's literally what this thread is about.

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You seriously think those animations were mo-capped? lol It was jank even for its time. They probably just thought it was funny.

ME is like cuddles that fade to black, The Witcher is funny little drawn cards you get after a fade to black, San Andreas was a mod as the actual function was never part of the released game - and those animations definitely were not mo-capped, no idea wtf a fishing game has, CP2077 kinda the same as ME but a bit more raunchy I guess. But even those very non explicit examples are a tiny fraction in the grand scheme of things, even among "adult" games.

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Witcher 3 and cp2077 definitely had what i'd consider full sex scenes. Like, you don't have full on piv, but it's about as close as, say, TV typically gets.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Witcher 3 it is more explicit if you buy the services on offer in the brothel. But it's still far less than one romp in Wicked Whims, which of course is all mods so no motion capture there

[–] Peter1986C@lemmings.world 1 points 2 months ago

Kingdom Come: Deliverance has a few (optional) ones IIRC.
