Hot flask: GTA IV's Lost, Damned and Unexpectedly Naked
by Ludwig Kietzmann 
{ Feb 17th 2009 at 8:00AM } 
The folks at 1UP (NSFW) have captured the scene between protagonist Johnny Klebitz and massage-loving exhibitionist Mr. Stubbs in all its full frontal glory. If you're going to watch it, be prepared to have an important thought rushing to your head: Is Rockstar cheekily pushing our beloved medium forward, or simply erecting another financially beneficial controversy trap?
We're inclined to think that IT'S A TRAP.

Oh Ludwig, you and your silly play on words.

Ahh... another patented Ludwig pun-erama. And while I couldn't give a damn about GTA, I'll applaud Rockstar for trying to get people to be a little more loose about censorship in videogames. I mean, seriously... I've seen episodes of Nip/Tuck that are more sexually graphic than the much-hyped sex scene in Mass Effect. (Seriously... it's seem's Nip/Tuck's rule is if you don't show the edge of a dick or a nipple, it's good to air.)

lmfao! what are they thinking? Rockstar sure do have some Cojones

So it's fine to have scantily clad women, not to mention naked ones, in games, but as soon as there's male flash it's "OMG, they have such balls to go there?" This is a great example of how gamers need to get over themselves.

(01) Please tell me...
When the hell has a full frontal shot of a vagina been shown in a game & what game is it?
Until you tell me, you're as of yet, a moron.

Silly rockstar, lol. Damn this every 15 day pay check. I will so buy this on the 25th.
How do you guys think Jack Thompson will react to this even though a) He's not a lawyer anymore and b) this is download only (easier for kids to get)
Linkario @ Feb 17th 2009 8:21AM
Jack Thompson will be so turned on by digital man-berries that he won't even care.
DjDATZ @ Feb 17th 2009 9:01AM
LOL...personally, I just don't see some girl who is under the mature category actually playing this game. And if she is, I doubt she won't know what a penis looks like...lol
The overwhelming majority of people that are going to be playing this game will be men.

So I'm watching the video, all like "hmm, this actually sounds like a pretty neat expansion", thinking that his butt was the reference to the nudity, when all of a sudden I get cock slapped at the end of the clip.
*note to self* never click on another movie clip after work ever again.

Looks like I'm downloading this game now. I Love You, Rockstar.

Familyguyrokz @ Feb 17th 2009 8:34AM
FFS, it's only a trap if it looks like a woman. If it is clearly a guy, then it is by definition not a trap.
Megadanxzero @ Feb 17th 2009 8:51AM
I get the feeling it may have been a joke...
linebeginstoblur @ Feb 17th 2009 2:01PM
FFS, the correct term for a mouse trap, therefore, must be "mouse capturing device" or something. It can only be called a mouse trap if the device is shaped like a woman, right?
Not everyone has to use your usage of a commonly-used word. Give me a fucking break.
Obie @ Feb 17th 2009 8:37AM
So wait, Rockstar won't show "beeg American tee tee's" without pasties, yet naked dudes are ok? Lame!
Fuze9 @ Feb 17th 2009 10:54AM
to be fair, real strip clubs are the same way.
DWells55 @ Feb 17th 2009 11:01AM
I highly doubt this makes it into the final game. I'm guessing it's just a publicity stunt. First off, I doubt the ESRB would allow an M rating rather than AO if there's full-frontal male nudity. If they would, then Rockstar would've had female nudity in the strip clubs (in fact, exposed breasts are probably less "offensive" than a digital penis).
Next up, I don't recall the original game having a nudity descriptor on the rating. I'm not sure if DLC can have a different rating or descriptors than the game it is for.
Either way, I don't really care. Just make the expansion good enough to justify the price. Hopefully it will be, although the voice acting in this cutscene was pretty weak.
Tiptup300 @ Feb 17th 2009 12:51PM
DLC isn't rated by the ESRB. (not sure about full expansion packs)
linebeginstoblur @ Feb 17th 2009 2:05PM
It's not AO, it fits as a Nudity descriptor in M. And yes, it is rated by the ESRB.

Yamagushi @ Feb 17th 2009 2:35PM
I hear ya man. Damn double standards. Had a womens jugs been shown this would be AO. However a guys schlong is fine for M.
Id also like to point out that ESRB slammed San Andreas with AO for having FULLY CLOTHED characters having sex in a part of the game that is normally inaccessible....
Jack Tretton @ Feb 17th 2009 8:39AM
How will L&D work? Will one have to choose it from the Start menu, e.g. "Play the Lost and the Damned"? Otherwise, load a saved game and play as Niko?
flameofdoom666 @ Feb 17th 2009 9:35AM
Yep
Phantom @ Feb 17th 2009 8:39AM
So Microsoft payed 50 million dollars to show it's customers a penis?
Ben @ Feb 17th 2009 8:55AM
Of course, this cutscene is the only reason that Rockstar are releasing the expansion.
EmptyEnergy @ Feb 17th 2009 8:46AM
So Rockstar gave the PS3 the cock when not releasing the content on that platform, but in turn, gave the 360 hairy balls instead.
Megadanxzero @ Feb 17th 2009 8:51AM
DEAR GOD JOYSTIQ YOUR PUNS ARE MELTING MY BRAIN! ;-;
AlanWakeLives @ Feb 17th 2009 8:54AM
WOW....desperate much are we Rockstar?
This is all to create buzz of course. The attention for their overhyped undelivering game has decreased significantly and the only way they could come up with to get some of it back was to resort to this...
Ridiculous...
