10 Video Games That Missed Out The Money Shot
5. Kratos Hooks Up With Aphrodite - God Of War III
Admittedly, a lot of God of War fans were pretty pleased about the game's "discretion" with regard to the sex mini-game between Kratos and Aphrodite.
Though the pre-coital cutscene certainly doesn't shy away from showing the Goddess of Love in a state of dress leaving little to the imagination, the camera pans away while players participate in a QTE-based sex mini-game with her.
Hilariously instead of showing Kratos and Aphrodite going at it, the camera pans over to the goddess' handmaidens, themselves wearing a scant amount of clothing, as they observe the deed with a considerable amount of joy.
On one hand video games are gradually becoming more "mature" and proving themselves more capable of dealing with sexuality in ways that aren't unintentionally comical, but on the other, would you really want a family member to walk in while you're rutting Aphrodite on-screen?
All things considered it was probably for the best that Santa Monica Studio spared us that potential awkwardness, much as some might decry it.
