what i'm saying is that there are so many potentially offensive things in the game already with its theme that warning about another one is like telling the player the grass is going to be greener. How would anyone know how much 'more' offensive it could get?
grow a pair and just realize nobody wants to make ignorant statements like u just did.
Tasteless scenarios are tasteless. Wanna play a game watching yourself eat your own poop like 2 girls 1 cup? http://cupvid.com/
I'd like to see you stomach that game and tell me how much of a man you are. Not all scenarios are made for gaming. Just get it into your heads already.
Aduh... nobody has time to play through the whole game just to ESRB rate it. Such disclosures of offensive material are IW/Activision's responsiblity not the rating board's. I'm sure plenty of Russian gamers were upset by IW/Activision trying to pass this off as apolitical work.
That's one of the most retarded comments I have read. Do yourself a favor and slap yourself one, for making such an uneducated remark.
uh.... when taken into context that this is a FPS game with atrocities and killings committed in many forms, that warning doesn't do jack scat. So just shove that lame excuse already.
Hi matnum,
sorry for the late response. How does conditioning impact the psyche of an individual? Let's use sex as an example then. If the media were to portray footage of sibling or paternal/maternal incest on TV on a regular basis, do you think the younger generation would accept it as the norm? Is there something potentially psychologically damaging about it? My guess is might not know, but the fact that you can't tell is exactly the problem with erosion of values. When valu...
Very nice to look at. I like how the included the trees blowing to enhance the mood of the game like uncharted. I hope they are able to work out the kinks with the frame stutter and screen tear. Definitely looking like an interesting game to play.
@addendum: Just saw part two. Amazing sequence, voice acting though is a bit stilted. They all sound like they recorded separately and possibly before they even saw the game sequence. And whoever wrote the script... yeeeaaah... tha...
Life isn't black and white, but when you have the friggin leader of the russian terrorist group shooting at people and your standing next to him... wouldn't something click in your head that you've done what you were supposed to do as an agent to reach him? Shoot him already. Stupid scenario, designed strictly for shock value.
Matnum great points and certainly deserving an intelligent response back. I would like to point first and foremost that I agree with with you that responsibility lies to a large extent to the individual or family in managing what content should be allowed for. However, I disagree that companies should be allowed free reign to distribute controversial material.
Where do I even begin on this? Well responding to your example, about porn sites vs games. How about the basic knowled...
I would hardly call this a technical upgrade, though I do believe IW added new features.
To me it looks like they mainly used higher quality textures on the gun. The character polygon counts are exactly the same. The lighting system is exactly the same.
What I see different is a smarter use of matching texture design to the lighting they planned to use for the level. I think they chose the level lighting and environment work first and then designed textures to match ...
Oh you think it takes a 'real' man to appreciate 'realism'?
why not make a FPS game about prison butt rape then, where you can repeatedly hit 'y' to get some in the ass? Hit it one hundred times in 30 seconds and get a MS Achievment trophy! Why not add some fun customizations by taking your f**king picture via MS webcam and upload it on the prison bit*hes face? Better yet, wait for Natal, then you can hump it in 'realtime!' After all, real men can handle reality.
A...
Yes, lets throw in some nazi jew gassing too while we're at it. Is that chamber filled? oh yeah, pull the switch by hitting 'b'. And watch the jews screaming and pounding at the doors in terror. Why not press 'x' repeatedly to laugh maniacally at the dying faces of innocent people? Does that sound retarded enough for you guys who still don't get the picture?
IW's decision was asinine. It doesn't take a fart of an IQ to figure out what a terrorist bomber or shooter would do in ...
Ok for those brain farts up there who haven't deigned to read any articles, the game is not locked at 60 FPS for consoles it dips to the 30s in heavy scenes. So lets, stop using that as a technical one-upmanship over other titles in the genre, because frankly it doesn't have one. On the otherhand, I am staying out of the bias discussions. I boycott the game for tasteless depictions of massacres and asking the player to involve in it. Disliking the Activision money-grubbing helps too as do...
I am boycotting the game as well Mindboggle and FrankDrebin. I don't need to man up to anything to pony up cash on a publisher's CEO I dislike and a studio I disrespect now for pushing into controversy that reflects negatively on all gamers. That airport gameplay was completely tasteless, and shouldn't have been included. There is no skill involving shooting innocent crowds and killing ppl screaming for their lives. Besides, I am not a fan of MW2's arcadely multiplayer, so with single pla...
This game was dumb downed for consoles so the PC version doesn't look any different from the console versions beyond higher resolution it seems. That being said, I like how the particle effects on the ps3 look better (in the flames). That's just an opinion and doesn't construe the ps3 version being better
Again, movies don't ask you to pull the trigger. Movies aren't even close to the same immersive medium as this. As I mentioned before there is a line between watching it, and actively asking you to participate in it. I think Infinity Ward crossed the line that even GTA doesn't.
I think you COMPLETELY missed my point. It's one thing to allow for killing and massacre as a mechanic, it is completely another thing to purposely set up a scenario for it, EVEN if you can skip it. Besides, what does the message say about skipping? Oh, you are going to see something graphic that may unsuitable. Would that tell you what you will be watching, considering you are already going around shooting bad guys?
I mean come on, do you see ppl helping other ppl getting sho...
I found this VERY distasteful.... It is like playing a WW2 game as a Nazi and watching the jews writhe in agony while you pull the switch in the gas chamber. Do you think for even one second that would fly??? Neither should this in my opinion. Why don't they let you fly into the f**king twin towers then and watch people jump out of the buildings in flames?
It was very unncessary. They could have designed it, so you played it on the security side and watched the massacre unfold...
Though I don't like how you put it (since I do like CODs), I do have to agree both COD4 and Halo3 cater to the lowest denominator. They are arcadey run around shooters with very little deep gameplay/tactical mechanics. But that's the fun of it.
On the otherhand, when you are dealing with cheap whiny teens and pre-teens... who run around like mad chickens shooting every which way and that... it kind of takes the fun out of it.
No loss though for me :) I can always p...
No offense to Leona Lewis, but I buy FFs and square titles for Nobuo Uematsu and Yasunor Mitsuda. They could substitute these composers with maybe Yoko Kanno or Ryuichi Sakamoto, but Leona Lewis? Please....
