I was expecting for more posts to be made about religion than violence, but I guess societal ideals still comes pretty close. Shin Megami Tensei games, like Nocturne and the SNES ones, always had some kind of god/satan character as a major boss. It does portray both sides in quite a neutral manner though - with neither one appearing to be absolutely good or evil - giving you the choice to side with either one. Still (correct me if I'm wrong...), it does make God/angels appear controlling, zealous and self-righteous, and Satan/demons to be persecuted because of their desire for absolute freedom.
I feel the same way. It's not that I find it wrong for sex scenes to be in a game, I just find it pointless. It's too bad that the use of symbols within games, even when used in a manner that isn't meant to be disrespectful, can offend people. I always thought that the original symbols looked cooler.
