ok i think guild wars would sell lot more if they had less nudity pictures on their front cover.
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.

... what nudity? i find all the GW package arts to be quite tame. i don't even remember seeing so much as a bare midriff.
anyways, the game is rated mature....

Ok, I'm sitting here looking at both the Guild Wars and Factions boxes and I can't see any nudity, I can see Eve and Nika respectively but definately no nudity. What the hell are you talking about? Are you sure you didn't accidentally take a look at a dodgy 'adult' DVD my mistake?
Perhaps you could take your parents to a therapist to attempt to drag them out of the 19th Century and into the 21st!
Stop being so pathetic!

wait, i remember one of the covers for prophecies, and it featured cynn floating in the air with arms outstretched. or was that devona? that metallic bikini is throwing me off.
that's hardly nudity. you'll see a lot more by going to the bookstore and looking at some of the fantasy novel front covers.

Yeah. I understand some parents being against games with monthly fees and other things, but that's just odd. There is no nudity in Guild Wars...either they're blind or jump to conclusion by seeing a girl (eve/vizu) on the box.
My dad knows I'm mature and doesn't care much about the ESRB, and there is no nudity, if you look at the rating for Guild Wars, and I quote this off of my CD case, it's rated T for "Violence". Just "Violence".
Moriz - you did mean it's rated T, right? Unless ESRB changed it, which I am doubtful, as I just typed what I see on my CD case.

Personally I think Anet should try to "turn off" more parents so they can keep their immature little brats out of the game.

you sure it's rated T?
oh right, i'm confusing it with D2. since there's no blood, it should be rated T.
my mistake.

well maybe not nudity but you can almost see the girls breats
my parents aren't born in usa or england or anything like that

See their breasts? You mean they can't even deal with the tiniest of cleavage? Yowzers!
Eldin
That's odd, because usually parents born in the US/England are picker at those sorts of things...or at least, from the kind of people I've seen.
And of course you can almost see the girls' breasts. It's like that in reality, and it's more realistic thnn there being no breasts at all. Plus, since it's in a renaissance/medieval time, women had massive breasts back then (lol, see almost any fantasy game/movie).
Oh, and yeah, there should be more blood. ArenaNet is made of ex-Blizzardites, including people who working on WC3, which is full of blood and profanity, and yet even that is ONLY rated T! Surely they can add blood without having to change to M.

neither are mine.
personally, i think you just brought them to the wrong box cover. the original GW package featured about 6 different cover arts. let them see the warrior cover art, and they'll probably be fine.

The best thing to do when you go to buy a video game: leave parents in the car

LMAO... I'm a parent and I find the graphics quite appealing (course I play GW too).
On the other side of things, I just think your parents don't want you to have the game so they found something to throw back into your court. I do this sometimes to my girls, especially when I'm against something and I have no real reason to deny them. I mean I see more skin on regular (not nude) beaches.
Aman
yeah i have to find the warrior one :P

i really wish search was working right to find that old anti NAKED DANCING thread.
the wife wanted it stopped because she didnt want her children exposed to it and didnt feel she should have to stop playing because the kids might see it

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?

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

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.

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

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!).
