GTA 5 Uncensored Sex Scene Has Rockstar Gone Too Far?

"Has Rockstar Gone too Far?" This is the question being asked to gamers today, regarding the new uncensored GTA V sex scene video footage that was leaked online yesterday.
With so many under-age children getting a hold of M for mature rated games, do you think scenes like these in video games will further promote under age sex, pregnancy, and even sexual assaults amongst children?

pedrof934508d ago

No.

Not too far. Just the right far.

DAS6924508d ago

I personally think that that part of the leaked video is very questionable. The lighting doesn't look as good. Who are the characters? (That is definitely not Michael in the back)Also I noticed that on one of the vids, that car model damage was non-existent. Just something that doesn't click with me. Although some of the gameplay vids are UNDOUBTEDLY real, I think this and maybe ONE more vid is fake.

RyuCloudStrife4508d ago

the game is Rated M, #Dealwithit.

brianunfried4508d ago

I agree, my first thought was fake. Plus, I don't think they want another "Hot Coffee" scandal.

Enemy4508d ago

Nope, it was real. Thing is, it's not as uncensored as people say it is. They don't know genitals in the game, so people need to lighten up.

Anthotis4508d ago (Edited 4508d ago )

Unless it involves rimming the girl, they haven't gone far enough.

Also, if you want to remove sex scenes from games in case children play it, you'll need to remove sex scenes from films in case children see it. I'd be more concerned about the depiction of violence in games and films, though, if i was a paranoid waste of skin that took issue with such depictions in the first place.

Also, argumentum ad thinkofthechildren is about as pathetic a fallacy can get.

Blacktric4508d ago

They already showed an uncensored penis of a senator in all its "glory" in Ballad Of Gay Tony. A simple scene that shows two people having sex with most of their clothes on from a blind side angle that barely reveals anything shouldn't cause a stir at this point. Hell, a similar type of scene was in one of Red Dead Redemption's mission cutscenes.

Dee_914508d ago

killing people okay
but sex is a no
........ the f%$^ is wrong with people?

pixelsword4507d ago

Blow some guy's head off, nobody flinches.

*Blow* some guy's head off, everyone panics.

DAS6924507d ago

Idk why I have so many disagrees. I don't have problem with it, if this is real, I was just questioning the validity of the leak.

I find this article weird. It's much easier to get a hold of much worse things over a simple click on the internet, yet why is this getting so much backlash about kids and maturity?

Whitefire4508d ago (Edited 4508d ago )

Because it is about kids, and Mature things? Also that is why you monitor your children on the internet. If a parent knowingly allowed their underage kid to access porn how would everyone react?

slimeybrainboy4508d ago

It's not as if they had actual live floppy penises, and sloppy vaginas. You could just see hips. They were pretty much fully clothed.

I would struggle to wank to that on a desert island. You're right, it's not gratuitous at all.

t0mmyb0y4508d ago

It's not like any other species mate on our planet lol

Godoftheweek4508d ago (Edited 4508d ago )

Violence = OK
Sex = Bad

I would much rather my sons 11 and 8 see a nice pair of boobs over seeing a head get chopped off. Sex is a part of life, it puzzles me as to why we have no problem with our children watching people get hurt and die, yet show them a nipple, and all hell breaks loose.

@Fluke

Yes, I know. I remember when I lived in Germany that naked bodies were no big deal, nor was talking about sex on TV. Violence was much more controlled. It is or at least was the exact opposite of what is acceptable in the US.

RyuCloudStrife4508d ago (Edited 4508d ago )

This exactly what I don't get.

Not that I'm against video games where you kill virtual humans but that's fine, now a scene of two people making love OH HELLLZZ NOOOOOOO!!!!

Fluke_Skywalker4508d ago

This is more the case in the US, here in Europe it's pretty much the other way round, sex is fine, violence is bad. Which is kinda the way it should be really.

Deadpoolio4508d ago

Cause Jesus says NO sex....That is exactly why the Bible thumpers want to make sex seem as dirty and disgusting as they possibly can.....It's these religious wack-a-doos that want to push their Jesusness down everyone's throat, and live life the way they choose to....To them religion is not a choice

Natso4508d ago

^ lol

Jesus said no such thing.

Don't they teach reading comprehension in Grade school?

It's too far only if I can't drive and handbrake over them... repeatedly.

ALARM-clock4508d ago

There's nothing to censor. The only thing showing is the side of a dudes butt cheek, no butt crack, no frontal for either. It's no worse than 'twerking'.

Wagz224508d ago

Sex is fine as long as its not in the champagne room, everyone knows not to have sex in there.

NeXXXuS4508d ago (Edited 4508d ago )

The better question is, how is it going too far?
Only idiot parents buying their 12-year-olds this game will say that it's going too far. Sex is a mature and natural thing. It's not something for children.
/sees the articles about parents complaining already

Lykon4507d ago

I want to see wet genitals and close up penetration. The baptist ministers that complain about games are paedophiles anyway.

otherZinc4507d ago

@Ryu,

Rated M is mature

Rated X or AO is for Adults, I'm not a baby, but they've gone too far.
My son is 14, I'm buying it for him. He can handle it without acting a damn fool.

However, we don't need the bad press in our gaming industry for this.

nosferatuzodd4507d ago (Edited 4507d ago )

wow d!ck out P@$$y out GTA V
on a more serious note people always blame video game for bad parenting my daughter got pregnant because they was playing Grand theft auto really

Not a problem, the game is for mature people only. The parents will be at fault since they buy the games for their kids without knowing how the rating system works.

-Mika-4508d ago

Not all "Mature" people want to have sex scenes in their games.

RyuCloudStrife4508d ago

then don't buy the game, simple.

Wikkid6664508d ago

It's GTA... most people expect risque things.

Fluke_Skywalker4508d ago (Edited 4508d ago )

RyuCloudStrife beat me to it.

Deadpoolio4508d ago

So then COMMON SENSE, should probably tell you NOT to purchase a game like GRAND THEFT AUTO, Or God of War, or literally any game that is pretty much guaranteed to have content you will not like....

HammadTheBeast4508d ago

And yet you're fine with the breast size increase on Lighting in Lightning Returns....?

animegamingnerd4508d ago

you better not defend the things square enix is doing in lighting returns

Natso4508d ago

Would you watch an Adam Sandler movie, knowing very well that you dislike Adam Sandler?

I didn't think so.

WeskerChildReborned4508d ago

Exactly. This game should have more emphasis on its rating so parents will have a chance to know that this game is definitely not appropriate for children. It's a true Rated M game.(Unlike COD).

RAFFwaff4508d ago

yeah, but it sure does drain your bank account...

Albie3604508d ago

Lol!!!
Love the scene. Great job.

iamnsuperman4508d ago (Edited 4508d ago )

" Do you think such uncensored sex scenes in the new GTA V, could help to increase a rise in under-age sex, under-age pregnancies or even sexual assaults charges among children?"

Fairly big jump here. These games are meant to be played by adults (why there is a big 18 year old certification on the side). You have to be a certain age to play these games. Now if your under age then it is up to the parent to decide if you can handle it (like would you take your 12 year old to see Saw).

I highly doubt sex in a park (in the game) is going to make adults want to have sex in the park (other natural processes do that :P). Like how a FPS doesn't want me to gun everyone down because I am old enough (and sane enough) to realise the distinction between real life and the video game (hence the age restriction) What about children? It shouldn't even be talked about as they shouldn't be playing the game anyway.

lnvisibleMan4508d ago (Edited 4508d ago )

Totally agree with you man under age pregnancies usually happen at bottom end of the social ladder. I highly doubt if an expensive medium such as video games is going to lead a significant increase of teenage pregnancies.

Just another example of the media blindly pointing the blame at video games.

Natso4508d ago

Everybody needs a scapegoat.

They'd rather blame video-games over bad parenting. Then, God forbid, they'd be at fault for something!

Natso4508d ago

Yeah, but you don't get it.

Luigi's Mansion makes me want to hunt ghosts! /sarcasm

lnvisibleMan4508d ago (Edited 4508d ago )

Find it odd that sex such a taboo subject compared to homicide. Anyway the media need to lighten up its just a video game.

Psychotica4508d ago

Well kids are more likely to engage in real sex than engaging in real homicide. Some people view this as putting ideas in kids heads.

lnvisibleMan4508d ago

True enough man. But the entertainment industry as a whole(ie Tv, magazine,internet..) shows sexual content. Kids are exposed to it all the time, a single video game is going to change things.

iceman064508d ago

Believe me, if you are the average 13 year old, sex has been in your heads already...and probably for a couple of years. It really comes down to imparting some familial norms and values about sex and whether or not one is ready and when. It's not really something that, with the proper supervision and guidance, will simply be influenced by a game, tv, music, movies, etc. Sex is more influenced by peer pressure and societal expectations than any of those.

denkov4508d ago (Edited 4508d ago )

Sex in video games isn't a big deal. Anyone ever played Witcher 2? Right on the money with this one InvisibleMan. We are the only country that makes sex so taboo. Anyone whose been anywhere in Europe knows sex isn't a big deal. They have sex in their commercials! It's human nature. Why this country makes it so taboo to even talk about sex is beyond me. Your 14 year old has already looked at more porn on the internet than you parents have in the last 15 years. Hi! I'm reality! Have we met?

Rockstar launches official marketplace for mods

Rockstar has launched an official marketplace for "every server and every player" to buy mods: Cfx Marketplace.

gamesindustry.biz
Christopher2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I wonder how much of this isn't just taken work of others who have modded for free.

Edit: Also, great way for R* to take popular ideas and build them into GTAVI based on demand.

fr0sty8h ago

What I see happening here is, R* is going to ban mods in GTA6 UNLESS you buy them from the marketplace and R* then gets a cut of that sale.

ActualWhiteMan11h ago

Ah, perfect timing with them taking down the Bully online fan mod. Greedy a$$ company.

Christopher8h ago

It's okay as long as they get a cut of the money.

fr0sty8h ago

Expect R* to force it on you.

Snookies122h ago

Yep, right there with you. I'll happily donate to a mod creator if it looks really cool, or if I enjoy it. But expecting payment up front? Nope, not touching it.

IanTH7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

I'm not entirely sure how to read this, as it doesn't seem exactly like an exact parallel to Bethesda's paid mods shenanigans.

Rather than single player stuff, this appears to be aimed solely on Cfx Servers. From what I've gleaned, apparently Rockstar bought the Cfx mod team several years ago, coming a few years after weird contentions led them to ban a few of their members. Ultimately, the question is if they plan to keep this contained to only online/servers.

I have to guess to a degree yes. It'd be pretty hard to "force" paid mods for single player when modding files locally on your own machine, but much easier for servers they'll control. So perhaps this is their soft launch ahead of GTA6 online and they'll clamp down more tightly on non-official servers going forward? Ever since they've become a 1 or 2 property studio, I haven't really cared much for Rockstar stuff, so I'm not entirely up on everything surrounding this. Sounds like it has the potential to be problematic further down the line, but right now fairly easy to ignore...I think lol.

PlayStation Store’s top downloads of 2025

O'Dell Harmon Jr. writes: "Before we say goodbye to 2025, let’s take a look back and see what were the most downloaded games of the year. It was a great time for sports, shooters, and some new PlayStation VR2 games. Sports favorites topped the charts in US/Canada and EU, with NBA 2K26 and EA Sports FC26, respectively.

Juggernaut GTA V found a home in the top three for both regions, with new 2025 release Battlefield 6 claiming second place in the US. Fortnite took top place for free-to-play games, and Beat Saber continues its PS VR2 success."

FH5 4th in Europe compared to North America 14th. Not surprising.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 16h ago

I think it shows how shortsighted it was for Sony to let go of Evolution and not get them to make some sort of competitor (open world Driveclub?) 10 years ago.

bionicstar1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

its a hard bet to make. hindsight is always 20/20.

Christopher1d 6h ago

After Driveclub's reception, hard to say it would have done well enough to compete. It's easy to dream of such a thing, but to make it happen? It's taken how long for CoD to be dethroned? And it was dethroned by Hogwart's Legacy and has gained it right back just the next year.

I would like to see a list that has both free to play and paid games together, but at least we have this.

To this day GTA5 is a top downloaded game and it makes me wonder if the industry is really ready for GTA6. I imagine almost nothing else will sell during that game's release window.

badboyz099d ago

I still play gta V alot. The others nah.

Popsicle9d ago

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Tacoboto9d ago

What exactly are we not getting?

Did we not just have a 2025 filled with nice games like...

Silksong, Doom TDA, Expedition 33, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Ghost of Yotei, Dispatch, Split Fiction, Hades 2, DK Bananza, and so many more?

Popsicle9d ago

Agree that all you just posted are great games. Expedition 33 is one of my favorites. Spent a large chunk of time on BG3 in 2023. Another for my all-time list.

My point though not well articulated in the OG post is that we would get more of the games of the quality you mentioned if so many valuable resources were not allocated to FTP slop and/or heavy monetization schemes. Some of what used to be my favorite franchises have been ruined by them.

To sum it up, I would like to see games like 33 outperform the profits made by games like Fortnite so more resources are allocated to great games. When heavily monetized FTP games are at the top of the list, we end up being stuck with a significant chunk of games that are not good. Or worst case scenario games that spend years in development, but get cancelled due to industry trend chasing.

cloganart9d ago

Such a pessimistic view. This year gave so many good games.

Christopher9d ago

Popsicle, I actually think we're getting more great games because of the slop. Developers are seeing that people aren't happy and taking advantage of big AAA studios not delivering for people.

Popsicle9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

Perhaps, and I hope you’re right. A shift is needed IMO
