I'm sure some, if not all, have heard of what is now dubbed, the "Hot Coffee Fiasco." The Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas game was given a Mature 17+ rating due to the violence and the drugs and the killing and the hitting of old ladies with golf clubs. Now it seems that a portion of the game never meant to have been included in the final edition has surfaced.
In the Game, your character, Carl Johnson or CJ, goes around the numerous cities on a criminal spree of orgasmic proportions. Along his journeys CJ encounters specific women that he may date. Some are found as a result of missions, some are found at random in parks doing yoga. You show up at the girls' houses to pick them up, then take them on a date consisting of either dinner, dancing, a drive or for some of the girls drive-bys. When the date is over you drive her home and if you have made enough progression with the girl, she will you ask you if you want to come in for....(GASP)...coffee.
The screen then switches to a canted shot of the front of the house and proceeds to pan and tilt to it's...delight. Ah yes, while moaning and groaning can be heard from within. CJ would then appear at the front door, a point would appear under "Number of Times Scored" in the stats section, and the game would continue.
It is a fairly unexciting event and most of the time I often reply negatively to the sex because it is such a time consumer. However, it seems that Rockstar Games "originallly" intended for the horizontal shuffle to be a little more explicit. You would see the characters in the pixelated nude. You would have the choice of changing positions and camera angles while setting the pace. Your progress would have been measured on the side of the screen by a status bar labeled "Excitement."
Having completed the game and tossing it aside like a used kleenex so that I may continue my learning with the guitar, I never heard about this until I read the article on the FRONT PAGE OF THE STAR. How embarassing. The article gave me the dirt and preached how everyone thinks this is disgusting and filthy and unsuitable for a child or teenager and that all copies should be destroyed.
First off, this is ridiculous. Who cares. I am extremely upset about this because if no one told me about it, I might not have been able to obtain a 100% completion status in the game.
Secondly, the rating was pushed from a Mature 17+ to an Adults Only 18+. This changes the legal buying age by one year. ONE YEAR. For some people it will take them a full year to beat the game. I had to play at least 2 hours a day for 3 weeks and I was lucky enough to finish most missions on my first attempt.
Third, those who have been saying this is unsuitable and that parents should be worried about there children......WHO IN THERE RIGHT MIND WOULD HAVE GIVEN THIS GAME TO A CHILD IN THE FIRST PLACE!?!? I believe that some teenagers can handle this game without a problem. Experienced gamers who start playing in there 5s and 6s develop that wall of disbelief early and are heavily fortified by 12 or 13. Goldeneye and Perfect Dark for N64 are being given to small children so obviously the violence and killing is not a problem and if a teen is not aware of the notion of a hooker, why go looking. Keep punching that cop, son.
Lastly, since the game now holds a "pornographic rating," Best Buy and Walmart have pulled the game from the shelves, enforcing their zero tolerance policy to the distribution of adult material. Good for them I guess. But what about those millions of copies already sold?
The Star ripped into the game and the developers for making such filth available to young minds. But for some obscure reason they published a photo of the game (just CJ standing beside a car), with the words "HOT COFFEE MOD @ GTAGARAGE.COM" across the bottom. So your message is, "PORN BAD. GO HERE." Bless your souls.
The mod patch for the game has been pulled of the site but I downloaded something off of Kazaa that says coffee mod. I'll keep you posted if it works.
