I think its shows how messed up peoples opinions about this thing . Every single person i've seen play this has gone OMG WHAT OH NO HAVE TO COVER THAT OMG OMG OMG... Like seriously they have no problem with a dead body but nudity in a strip club....
Maybe they have to practice animating tits. Remember, they're gonna be making a Game of Thrones game soon. And you can't have a Game of Throne… mores anything without nudity at some point. It's sort of an integral part of source material, kinda like you can't have Star Wars without lasers, y'know? So there's that.
All joking aside though, while nudity wasn't COMPLETELY necessary, you're in a strip club. This is what happens in a strip club. And it's not a kids game, so why shy away from nudity? Games really need to grow out of this "violence is okay, nudity is the devil" mentality. By the way, this is hardly the first time we've seen nudity in the Wolf Among Us. Episode 2 preview had it already. Should've seen it coming I guess?
Agreed. I've seen series handle mature content poorly, but it wasn't an issue for me here. It made sense for the scene, established how Georgie worked, wasn't unnecessarily explicit or drawn out, etc.
It actually gives me hope for Telltale to handle this kind of context for Game of Thrones better than HBO would.
While not hugely important, the scene was meaningful in establishing Georgie's character. They needed to show how much of a dick Georgie was t… moreo the girls who were working for him and the best way to do that is to show him berating and mistreating one on the job. And since the job happens to involve nudity, they showed nudity. Simple as that.
That there is a question. While boobs are almost a certainty, they are collaborating with HBO for the game, and HBO has shown penises very sparingly in the show. Compared to the amount of tits anyway. Not that I complain, being a straight guy, of course
As far as I know, used panties are only sold in certain stores. The vending machines have new ones. And even the "used" ones are actually just sprayed with certain odors to give the impression that they were actually used before.
Don't quote me on this, though, that's just what I have read somewhere.

The question is: Why not?
Why do we even have to ask that? Did you also ask "Was it really necessary to allow ripping an arm off or showing blood at the crime scenes"?
Just don't talk about it, it's part of the game and so is everything else.
Also what Planeforger wrote. In fact it was just about the same I wanted to write when I saw the thread title. It's about helplesness
Your right to own guns is a perfect example of democracy. I for one don't believe you should be able to own a gun, however, I also understand that it is protected by the 2nd amendment ... part of our wonderful democracy. If a military state were to be enacted I doubt your dumb guns would be very helpful when your house is being lit up by a drone strike. If the government wanted to oppress us they would and could do it easily. Unfortunately, it might really piss off other countries who rely on the strength of the American economy. Not to mention all of the countries that are members of the UN would probably be like "Uh wtf are you doing?"

I'm not butthurt or even mad about your comments. Perhaps concerned. Initially I wanted to enlighten you on another culture, that maybe you didn't know so well. Japan has a wonderful and beautiful culture that is really worth experiencing. It is true that there are aspects of their culture that might seem very strange to Westerners, but those oddities are also some of the many things that make it awesome. I am concerned that the American school system hasn't done its job in teaching you about other cultures, how the world works, government, economics, etc. I am also slightly ashamed that I have gotten as much pleasure as I have watching you make an ass out of yourself, but at the end of the day it is what it is.

In this case that isn't the point, its just that the nudity was gracious, which many other tv shows and games get flamed for. I honestly think… more it was a silly move on telltales part to include them just for the sake of them, especially if the theories about part of the delay being caused by it are true. I think it is funny how violence is much more acceptable than nudity though, its just that in this particular instance the violence makes sense while the nudity was just sort of...there.
So, you have seen two severed heads,you witness a woman being beaten but only after you see naked stripper you think: "This is totally inappropriate, TTG, I'm not playing your game anymore". I really can't imagine a person who would think that.
Lol, thanks .
Seeing them fully dressed would have been rather amusing, agree with you there. Censoring also would have been pointless for … morethe reasons you provided, if they're there then just show them, we know what they look like anyway. However, I just don't see why it was needed. It's not really that big a deal or anything, I just wish they would have used their ability to show nude characters by having it be important, not just show us an animated strip sequence(which is all the nudity is used for). They could have easily just have the character peek their head out of the doorway they leave through, and have the same dialog at the end lol.
An actual case against the nudity is this:
Lots of people theorize about the delay being because of the nudity, if this is the case then it was definitely pointless putting it in there. It also is a rather awkward moment for most people. I know I have no trouble playing this game with other people I … [view original content]
The people overly excited to see cartoon boobs are the only ones who make me think it's a bad idea. Otherwise, I don't see a reason to be offended. It's natural, especially in a strip club. In the scene it helps illustrate the juxtaposition of current Georgie and his origin story to great effect.
I heard it took 4 months because Apple's quality standard for AppStore products required more realistic bounciness. In the end, they commissioned Stephen Hawking to do the animation, what-with his immense physics knowledge. Hence the time delay - you try rigging a mesh with your cheek.
Having finally gotten to play the game, I can say that I think it was totally appropriate to the scene, to the environement and to establishing the characters of Georgie and Naressa.
If they have nudity on a female character and considering the fact that she actually walks and talks like a normal human-being instead of being over-sexualized like most women in video games, then all the more welcome to it.
And this is why that "dictatorial" government, as corrupt and imperfect as it is, actually guarantees our freedoms.
Because if we didn't have the government, this guy would be free to mete out "justice" to anyone he finds yucky.
Seriously though, some of you people need to grow up. There is nothing wrong with the female anatomy. If it makes you uncomfortable then stop playing. Personally I am glad they are doing this since there is a Game of Thrones game coming. Which is a series that demands nudity.
As a female gamer, I wasn't offended by the maybe 15-20 seconds of breasts, considering the setting that it took place in. As an art major I had to draw nude models for 9 hours a week for a class over a semester so the naked form can be a beautiful thing.
Do I think it was unnecessary? Yes. But that's my opinion, doesn't mean I'm right or wrong nor anyone else.
Kind of disappointed in TellTale, was not expecting them to do that.

Going off of what Ai said, I'll make this opinion:
The nudity, in my opinion, was fine. It was situational, and it made sense. However, it seemed like part of the scene was really devoted to showing off her jiblets. Like, it seemed that she was the main focus of the scene ("she" meaning "boobs").
For that reason, yeah, it's disappointing. Compare this scene to the one in the trailer. In the original ep. 2 trailer, we have a topless prostitute in the background as Bigby talks to Georgie. It's outside a strip club, and it's barely made a big deal. In the actual scene of ep. 2, we have a very drawn-out look at her jiggling jigglies swaying around.
It seems like, indeed, Telltale put a lot of effort into making her boobage the highlight of the scene.
Guys, Why all this heated comments? This thread is just an opinion. and only two paragraphs.
I'm not offended or scared of nudity. I mean, I've heard rumor that IOS policy was against adult games it took months to correct the problem, so if I'm wrong, you can just correct me without insulting me. gosh, what's up with you guys?
I said I'd prefer to see actual romantic scene, not because I was scared of nipples, but i want to see XX scenes of main characters if I have to risk the danger of my sibling popping up behind my back suddenly. I'm old enough and live with my bro, if I have to hide my screen while playing, I want to see other things than pole dancing.
I don't know why my post made you guys sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo angry? That's the part i don't understand. Are you guys scared if telltales won't show tits anymore because of my opinion?
Oh, and, I agree with some posts saying this was needed to describe the mermaid's painful life, but I meant the nudity was kinda too raw in this 1 & half hour-long short game. Even GTA or saints row doesn't show tits like this. I just thought this raw nudity would be problem in this conservative american game market.
Why do you think it was unnecessary? Im honestly asking. Given the things he was saying to her and the kind of club it was, catering to all kinds of sexual proclivities, I cant imagine her being up there pole dancing without showing some skin. He was berating her for not being sexy enough. A bra would look quaint. I honestly dont think Telltale was doing this to be provocative and handled the scene as gracefully as possible. The comics are very free with mature themes and sexuality so this did not feel out of place to me.

So you do NOT have problem with chopped heads ,corpses and with huge pools of blood. But you are bothered to see boobs? Like are you INSANE?
So if they are practicing for game of thrones are we going to see a penis (search for the weiner song from south park
) in episode 3?
Well, i'm taking a page from TWD forums to say this:
Boobies confirmed for episode 3

That still sounds pretty wrong and disgusting to me. Anyone that likes to sniff the "odor" of piss & fecal matter needs to be locked up.

Ok well since we saw strippers naked.. I DEMAND BEAST OR BIGBY NAKED OR SHIRTLESS TOO@@!!21212121
Because that is what a real strip club looks like. There is nudity and people pay for it.

The people complaining about nudity must be 7 year olds or people who will keep their virginity until they die. Jesus Christ, people. Grow up.

I think that that they are trying to stay true to the comic by having casual approach to nudity. I could be wrong, but if that is the case, i like it.
So, you have seen two severed heads,you witness a woman being beaten but only after you see naked stripper you think: "This is totally inappropriate, TTG, I'm not playing your game anymore". I really can't imagine a person who would think that.
B-but... I saw female nipples. I'm scarred for life. I will never be the same again.
B-b-boobs...

Awesome!!!!!!!!
The Princess bride rules. Ooooooooooo wouldn't that make a great telltale episodic game.

Well, seeing as how the story is supposed to be a mature, gritty, "noir" themed interactive novel, I almost welcome the nudity.
It gives a realistic sense and it really made me feel sad for the girl on the stage. Almost to the point where I was going to bash Georgie's face in.
And if a story can tug at the emotional strings of the audience, then it's a damn good story.

Nudity is always needed.

If they did. My reaction to that is."Shut up and take my MONEY"
Yeah we'd all line up throwing money at telltale to make that game. Hahahahahahahaha

Not sure if "gracious" is quite the word you're looking for - I think there would be more than a few people that were gracious for the boobs.
