The strange thing for me is the entire sexual taboo in video games. You have plenty of great Japanese games that contain explicit sex scenes (with partially censored images) but only one or the other extreme in the west. Either entirely off screen such as in Fable/Dragon Age or nothing but it in games such as The Klub 17. The entire middle of the spectrum is missing in western games. Probably the next area that is going to see development, especially with the various VR things on the horizon. | ||

On a side note i have to say that i am not the biggest fan of dark souls. I played the game until the city of the sun. The main reason for me stopping was that i so far didnt have the feeling that there was a connected story (and a load of deaths). A friend of mine told me later on that the game has a very cool story told by its world, but until this point it was a beautiful world, a nice fighting system and a shitload of frustration. I was never really into the tes-series, i kinda need something that drives me forwards which is usually the story. Also the little lines until that point were a lot of gibberish, mb it's because I didnt really see through the story and the role of humans in this world, but that somehow gives the impression that there are no answers and distances you from the humans in the world. I know the feeling that you describe from metroid prime, which, like bioshock tells its story mostly over recordings you find, which i think is a very good way to make the player feel alone in a dangerous world. | ||
