Romance is always a tricky subject when it comes to games. Not often do titles get the mood right, and more times than not, any sort of sex scene ends up seeming cripplingly awkward.
The Witcher series has arguably approached it better than others, though. In particular, the second game in the franchise certainly didn't shy away from some steamy scenarios, and even featured fully exposed breasts. Unsurprisingly, this sparked a bit of an uproar from those keen on censorship, and by the sounds of it, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will also boast plenty of adult-oriented scenes to get outraged about.
According to The Guardian, the upcoming PlayStation 4 role-playing game contains 16 hours of sex scene motion capture data, and while we highly doubt that the finished release will present players with a 16 hour session, it still seems like a lot of time and effort's gone into this.

I have no problem with sex in games as long as it serves a purpose to the story, same as film and tv
but putting sex in just for the sake of it, no thanks
Wow, Ol' Lionel would be proud of the Witcher. Impressive
Yet another reason to absolutely not buy this game, besides the fact that I couldn't stand it's predecessors.
To be a fly on the wall during THOSE motion capture sessions!
16 hours? Of motion capture? Creepyyyy
XXXX,square,triangle,OOOOO....... I think I'm ready for that shiz 😚💨💨💨
If there's sex on TV then why not games? Also it's better if it's in there to help the story development and for it to progress.
@FullbringIchigo Same here, I am definitely not a fan of mindless random sex, it has to be story related or I'm not interested.
@NAZA-187 LOL. Are you reffering to the QTE event in God of war 3?. Until i played that scene, I did not realize that "QTE" stood for "Quick Time Erection" =)
I'm perfectly happy with gleefully sawing a helpless virtual victims head off with a teaspoon, but don't you dare put breasts in my games.
Honestly, sex is an important thing in life, so I'm fine as long as it's not baseless pandering. Games don't need to be porn.
Still, 16 hours of mocapped sex is an odd thing to brag about.
YOU CAN DO IT!
The part that gets me is that they mo-capped it. Haha, how'd that conversation go down?
"Hey, I came to apply for the job ad you put in the paper?"
"Here, just put on this suit and follow the yellow line, you'll know when the job starts."
16 hours of motion captured sex, wow, that must've been eventful time recording that,
There's plenty of sexy time in the Witcher books so why censor it in videogames? I'm okay with it as long as it serves the plot!
