Ben-DutkaWe knew the third entry in the acclaimed God of War franchise would boast another sex mini game, but we also heard from the developers it might be a little different…
And so, we should probably turn to the ESRB to get the proper description. Now, we weren't big fans of the social commentary they injected into their description of Dead or Alive Paradise , but this appears to be a standard, straightforward explanation. What we read here is actually a tad disappointing, though, because it sounds exactly like what we've done before (with the exception of the two observers, of course). Here's how the ESRB describes the interactive sex in God of War III :
"The game contains a sex mini-game. Players will encounter a goddess and her two hand maidens, all topless, all holding and caressing each other. If players wish to, they may join the goddess (and only the goddess) in bed. Actual sex is never depicted as the camera drifts, then fixes on the two maidens, who watch from a distance. As players respond to the on-screen prompts with button presses, the topless maidens will continue to watch, and sometimes caress. Moaning sounds from the bed can be heard throughout the sequence."
Well, the imagination starts to reel concerning those two watching maidens but if they were doing anything to each other besides "caressing," we're sure they would've mentioned it. It's also interesting to note that in the past, it seemed as if Kratos was getting it on with multiple chicks at once; this sounds like a more traditional one-on-one encounter. …well damn, has Kratos gone all family guy on us? Er, based on footage we've seen, probably not.
And because this is a sex-oriented article, I would like to add that despite the explosion of Heavy Rain actress Jacqui Ainsley onto the Internet, we will not be bombarding you with articles about her obvious hotness. Those aren't even articles, really. Besides, I don't wanna look at her while I'm working. It's a little depressing to know someone out there looks that good and all I can do is talk about how good she looks. From a personal standpoint, it's just irritating.
I no looker. I doer. …wait…do-her? Rephrase that.

Dude/Dudette,
The level of maturity in many of the posts has been extremely low. You don't have to tell me that whenever there is an article that mentions sex in a game it will generate comments. But unlike most places, PSXExtreme generally has fewer articles that have a 'sex' angle, and the comments are in general more mature and civil, not immature and puerile.
Oh can't we be immature SOMEtimes?
That's entirely up to you. The tone of the community here is what keeps the community here. If the tone of the community changes, so will it's membership.
In other words, you reap what you sew.
I think the tone of the community is mature and friendly, but if we take ourselves too seriously we sew some bad reapage and games aren't fun to discuss anymore.
sow.
This is tame compared to GOW1's minigame lol
My only question is, which goddess is he doing the horizontal mambo with, *scratches head*
I was wondering the same thing.

Well, unless you're using more than one screen name, I haven't replied to you.
Offended? No. But come on, since when could you compare a comments section here to one of the ones I mentioned and have a valid point?

ill say what want.

i'm really so proud
stroh, I get you're like 12 years old but you had best grow up around here.
cool ben taking out the belt .lol
world deleted his comment. i saw it though , sorry i'm bugging u all just waiting for the time to be 9.pm (dont worry i'm in the uk so its 30 min from now ).lol
I deleted it because it belonged in a reply, not on its own. I don't even remember what I said.
'sigh' This is why we don't run many articles like this.
If the Comment section even begins to remotely resemble junk at other sites, I'll have a breakdown.
I understand why the article was run though…It's GOW III, we crave any news on this masterpiece. Though it brings out the little boys in us we thank you for running it.
Funny story, I show all the funny comments and great reviews to my fiancee and her reply was "I wonder what's worse? Kratos' wrath with the Blades of Chaos or his sexual RAGE?"
LMFAO!
Greatest question of the year!
Thank you Ben. Some folks could stand to learn the difference between humorous and puerile.
Well, many would describe a man who's in his 30-40's, married, parent, who games, and regularly visit a gaming site as 'puerile', but I wouldn't. Anyways, I thought you're comments were nobly spoken. And I see that I was offending you, so I stopped. Understood?
@Shams,
It's not about one person it's about the general tone, and there were others who are not regular posters here who were dragging that tone down. It's not so much that your posts were particularly offensive or something – they weren't. Off-topic perhaps, but off-topic is a natural hazard of human minds communicating.
The thing is that the general tone of the thread went south at warp speed. It wasn't your comments in particular. If I had to single out anyone I'd probably start with the one that got banned.
I'm not normally one to apply moral zeal to a conversation, and I'm the last person to want to censor anyone's thoughts or words. If you want to know what set me off, look at the comments by "fuk u" – assuming they are still visible.
The only thing I said in reply to any of your comments was to question how far off topic we were going. I said nothing about your comments being offensive. I made a general reply about the tone of the thread and I think three people have so far taken it as a personal affront to them. Personally I thought it was pretty clear who and what the problem in the thread was – just to clarify, it wasn't any of the regular posters.
All I gotta say is sex sells and Kratos sells even more.
It's all in the math:
The PS3 x Cell engine + Sex mini-game + Kratos = even more sales.
Can you imagine if Sony put that in there "it Only Does Everything" ad campaign?
PS3. It only does VENGEANCE. It only does RAGE. It only does SEX MINI GAMES. We keep telling you! It only does EVERYTHING!
I dunno, GOW games don't sell THAT much when you consider how many PS2's are out there. I looked at the numbers a few weeks ago. 360 franchises put GOW to shame in terms of sales, and the PS2 has sold somewhere around 140 million consoles I think?
You have a point there. It's no secret Sony's games don't sell much when compared to others but this game is a crowd pleaser and console seller…I'm hoping anyway.
It may not be a secret, but neither is it accurate.
People tend to compare PS3 exclusives to the MOST successful cross-platform games (i.e., COD) and Halo. That's like comparing Iron Man (the movie, not the game) to Avatar and saying nobody went to see Iron Man because it didn't put up Avatar-like box office.
Compared to 360 exclusives other than Halo, PS3 exclusives sell roughly the same.
I haven't played a sex mini game since GOWII. I know I should be ashamed of myself, but sex mini games are hard to find
Thumbs up to Highlander for wanting to keep it real.
at the highlander
i know man that this website cann't be compared to the one u mentioned ,my point was that eventhough this is an awesome website , when u expose men to sex everyone goes crazy , thats what i'm sayn.
and world
it was something about " ben u could leave this one alone,or i wont touch that with a 10 feet pole.lol '
i really really love my iphone 🙂
What?
Now I remember, I was replying to a guy talking about the scary genitalia of the lust demons in Dante's Inferno and I was trying to tell him he should maybe just leave that one alone.

the memories of a stupid drunk man……..blip .
sorry i found wiki 🙂
Oh good GOD. No more of THAT.
wha-?
alright, i found the mini game in the first gow, but since i'm hearing there's one in every game, where was the one in 2, can't remember seeing it and there wasn't a trophy for it either.
I personally found these mini games lame and embarrassing to play in the company of others. Can't play God of War when the wife is around. she looks at me like a mom who just found a stack of playboys under her sons bed. ha!
I hear that.
I was hoping they would do something different with the sex mini-game since this is the last of the trilogy. I was hoping something bold, but oh well it's really not a big deal because it's the actual gameplay that count.
the sex mini games are hiliarious always loved them in GOW games.
