Dragon Age's New Direction Heralded with 'New Shit'

by Nick Breckon, May 10, 2009 10:54pm PDT

I don't really know what to say about this Dragon Age: Origins (360, PS3, PC) trailer. BioWare calls it the "most brutal and blood-soaked video we've ever created.. a 'no holds barred' look at the most intense action ever seen in the history of BioWare games."

The company says this "shit" represents a "new direction for Dragon Age: Origins"--apparently confirming a shift from its roots in the old shit.

Dear Video Game Developers, please stop trying to do "sex" in video games. Half Naked woman in games don't look sexy or tempting, they look creepy. You cannot possibly use enough polygons or create detailed enough animations in real-time to make them look hot. You just create semi-uncomfortable awkwardness that makes your designers seem like lonely basement geeks and make us all look bad.

  I really agree that "sex" in video games should be kept at the adolescent level. I agree that it is just awkward.
  
  Do sexy.
  Do skimpy.
  Do titillating.
  Don't do intimacy.
  Don't do sex.
