I am a parent and I see nothing wrong with any of the covers of GW. I do agree tho, that the female armor is a bit slutty (which is why I make all my characters men) but you can see worse walking around the mall. Obviously, the OP's parents let him go to the mall still, so what's the difference?

I mean c'mon

i take my parents to gamestop and i didn't even say anything and i was just looking at the game and they said no..

what the hell..

now i have to get my freind to take me there and buy it.

Lol. Kinda sad tbh. What happens when you go to the beach or swimming pool?

Reminds me of my school days when you couldnt wear shorts as too much leg on show might offend someone.

anyways, the game is rated mature....

WTF ... my cover says rated T

Amok Affinity · Sep 16, 2006, 07:12 PM // 19:12

heh heh, nudity? you realise that there isn't even partial nudity on those covers or in the game? tell the 'rents to get you Amish Online or something silly like that.

1. considering the 'average' GW player is a 20-30 year old male id say that their marketing is right on.

O.G. Postah-> maybe ask for nightfall for christmas or something- the box art is simply a girl in a hood-> I dont think even the Amish would have a problem with that cover art.. (although their internet service might need an upgrade)

And to the rest of us: It could be the tattoos ya know-> some parents see a tribal tattoo and think of the worst of society, hell my parents were even pissed when I got mine back when i graduated high school.

Knightsaber Sith · Sep 16, 2006, 07:59 PM // 19:59

well tribal tattoos are just about the corniest tattoo you can get....

Kruzing Low · Sep 16, 2006, 08:00 PM // 20:00

You forgot "Use of Alcohol"

Nightfall's ESRB is apparently just "Violence, and Use of Alcohol" - no suggestive themes lol.

DamFiNo · Sep 16, 2006, 09:38 PM // 21:38

LOL, I think the OP was trolling.... and got a bunch of strikes!

Malice Black · Sep 16, 2006, 09:43 PM // 21:43

I think not, there is actually people in this world that find a woman showing flesh offensive.

Mostly Arabs, over zealous Christians, morons aka *mormons*

Addone_Abaddon · Sep 16, 2006, 10:09 PM // 22:09

lol, I asked for a game and my grandparents went out to HMV and bought gw, I think if there was nudity they'd not buy me it.

You forgot the american republicans (read: Bush brothers when they tried to shut down all strip joints)

Malice Black · Sep 16, 2006, 10:38 PM // 22:38

Cant post things about america..bush would declare war on me

Get a box without a woman on it and you will get the game - but look out for Pre-Searing Ascalon City. Lots of immature nude dancers there...

Oh, and here is a gallery of box art images, by the way. You must have shown your parents the wrong game or the box with the semi-naked Cynn on it (which, by the way, is the oldest box of all - it's unlikely you'd find it!).
