Who let the idiots out to play news reporters? I have such an enormous lack of respect for most news these days and this just adds to that lack of respect. People always tend to look for something to blame for their shortcomings as parents or journalists instead of pointing the finger at themselves with a big “FAILED” on the end of it.
I wanted to hear the opinions of everyone on the recent Fox News report about “full digital nudity” in Mass Effect and how it’s being marketed to kids. They aired a so-called discussion about the game that included journalists and resident gaming stud, Geoff Keighley. The news report cited several ridiculous claims that it appears new publisher, Electronic Arts, has taken offense to and rightfully so. IGN has the story and response from EA for you to read. EA has asked for several corrections to what Fox News aired.
My opinion on this is that it’s amazing how the likes of Fox News can get away with sensationalized media and endorsing people who obviously know little to nothing about Mass Effect or games in general. Many of the journalists were still posing questions about Pac-Man. Wake up! The days of Pac-Man have long since gone and technology has long since improved.
Geoff did a good job pointing out that the reporters haven’t even played the game thus making any opinion of it moot. I’ve played it and I didn’t encounter any full digital nudity or feel like I was trapped in cyber porn. (maybe I need to request a refund because that would’ve been nice)

I think we should flood them with mail forcing them to realize the mistake the made..

Your all wrong!!!! I’m ten and I played Mass Efect including the sex scence.
I don’t know about real life so Mass Effect taught me that if I have a conversion for a few months (while saving the universe) with a girl we can kiss and hug each other naked 
:) . I now think girls are objects like the news lady said! Also a study was done somewhere that these tings are true! We have seen no poof and have seen no evidence but they said so and they are a COLLAGE! So what they say is golden! It’s kinda sad when we live in a day that if you say a study was done on T.V more than 0 people belive it with out wanting solid poof…. but I’m 10 and a dumb shit so I believe it all 
.
P.S. I’m not 10 and this was all Sarcasm lol.

If anyone has seen the actual fox clip, or if you haven’t go here
The internet decided to see how she liked her methods of reviewing games applied to her books so her books on amazon have now been reviewed with mostly 1 star and comments along the same lines as hers during the Mass Effect piece on Fox.

This is what I wrote on scorehero
“For gods sake! “Whatever happen to Atari, pinball, and pacman!” Has this lady been under a heavy bolder for a decade? That guy from spike did a good thing and was still cutoff by the others!
“Have you ever actually played mass effect”
“No, I trust research much more”
Someone give me a truckload of stones, as I watched, I lost brain cells… A game that shows the smallest bit of PARTIAL nudity for 5 seconds deserve an AO rating? Go look at the list of AO games and compare them to mass effect. One question though, who was watching fox news as 2 am?”
