The one game with concensual sex I can think of, for PlayStation consoles, are "God of War" titles, and in those "God of War" games, you don’t see anything sexual.
#PLAYING RAPELAY SERIES#
Two of those three game series with consensual sex that I mentioned are not available for those systems. Not one of those systems has ever greenlighted a game with a rape, as far as I know, and I’ve been reviewing games for all five of those platforms since they hit the market years ago.
This includes the Xbox 360, the PS 3, the Wii, the handheld DS and the handheld PSP. Everyone started buying console game systems. Do you see what I’m saying? Game companies just don’t make games like this, except apparently for the maker of "RapeLay" in Japan.
#PLAYING RAPELAY MOVIE#
OK, you say, then what about this "RapeLay?" Well, "RapeLay" is a PC game available from Japan, just as "Faces of Death" was not a mainstream movie that you would ever find at a Blockbuster. The reason I bring this up is that parents and politicians often hear of one thing about one insanely rare video game and wish a pox on the whole house of video games. And those three games were not graphic about it. I can count three (if you count the "God of War" series as one title) where you actually control a male main character in a quest to bed a woman consensually. I can count on one hand the number of those games that included even naked breasts. I have reviewed hundreds upon hundreds of video games in the 2000s.
#PLAYING RAPELAY FREE#
So please, parents and politicians, feel free to dog "RapeLay" but leave regular gaming out of it. While "RapeLay" does sound repugnant and beyond, I would like to strongly urge everyone to realize this: "Rapelay" is a very rare - unique in fact - video game, in that games hardly ever deal with soft sexual themes, let alone rape. The game was made by a company that previously made "Battle Raper." "RapeLay" was for some time available for purchase on Amazon, until someone alerted Amazon to what "RapeLay" was, then the site stopped selling it.Ī writer for Slate points out that this game comes not from the United States but from Japan: "It’s an old cliché that the more repressed a society, the more extreme its pornography."īut there is something far more important to consider, I suggest. And frankly, the details don’t take up much ink. I don’t want to go into all the nitty gritty details. " RapeLay" came out three years ago, but is now suddenly getting some press, as a New York politician denounced the game and called for its banning - thus making it more widely known, so don’t be surprised if sales start upticking. I’ve watched bits of non-sexual video of the game to get a feel for it. "RapeLay" is a PC video game where gamers portray a guy in Japan who revenge-rapes a female, who had turned him in for groping her on a subway, and other females in her family.
