Will you please take it outside already?

Reading the web site, it still sounds questionable (particularly the title), but it doesn't seem to be some kind of gory glorification. I DLed it, but don't have time to try it until later.

You aren't going to pass your Troll exams with piffle like that.

Try again. Try harder. You can do it!

And erm, how do you spell TWUNT then?

Reminds me of the Postal series. Marketing through controversy. Yay. Can't believe you guys are wasting your time arguing over this.

more waffle from nin

and yet you believe those of us who don't listen to what you have to say should be struck down? a dissenting voice should be crushed?

I've been coming here for centuries. I just choose to read comments that actually make sense. And today yours almost did.

I refer the honorable gentleman to my previous Twunt comment.

Bluesnews, and NinsComments?

I think not.

OMG. What. A. Twunt.

You need more 1337n355 in there! And a spellchecker...

Bush voter, perchance?

Oh, you really ARE new here!

Is Private Ryan tasteless? Is Titanic tasteless? is Towering Inferno the most inappropriate 70s movie in the world ever now? To you?

So you're comparing those movies to a game where I can recreate the killing of a man? Where I can personally take part? Where, if I kill him juuuust right I get a cash prize?

That's pretty weak...in the middle of Saving Private Ryan, do I get to vote on who dies? Do I get a say in how the movie ends? Do I get a cash prize if Tom Hanks dies?

If you find something tasteless, ignore it. Do you believe saying it's tasteless will have the rest of us going "oh, yeah, nin said it was tasteless so we must agree"

I really don't care what you think, truthfully...

He's so easy to bait, too...like fish in a barrel!"

OMG. What. A. Twunt.

Holy sh%t nin, you'd think he was YOUR dad/husband! There's no need to get insulting everybody! Let's all have a "time out".

Deep breaths, my friend. Don't want to be popping off this mortal coil before you actually find something valuable to say.

Is Private Ryan tasteless? Is Titanic tasteless? is Towering Inferno the most inappropriate 70s movie in the world ever now? To you?

If you find something tasteless, ignore it. Do you believe saying it's tasteless will have the rest of us going "oh, yeah, nin said it was tasteless so we must agree". Bush voter, perchance?

And the "not get enough attention" comment was pretty rich for someone with your amount of posts here. I'm hoping you get the attention you crave eventually.

Hugz.

Holy sh%t nin, you'd think he was YOUR dad/husband! There's no need to get insulting everybody! Let's all have a "time out".

I just think it's strange how impassioned some of us are getting here.

WWII shooters don't have characters modelled after real people AND they don't attempt to recreate exact conditions of any one person's death.

Cookie for you!

My, you're quite the troll, aren't you. Are you hungry? Do you not get enough attention? Do it flatter you to get a response?

Answer the movies question at least.

So you agree the rest of your argument was induced in a crack orgy? What movies? You mean the one with a character based on someone else who we don't know their name? Or their family? Or what they've suffered? Or the fact that almost every movie says something at the end about "the events and people depicted in this movie are fictional and any similarities between them and the living or dead are purely coincidental"?

Those movies? Or do you not stick around for the credits?

Oh, I thought it was about John F Kerry's political assassination by Hillary Clinton, lol rofl. I voted bush, w00t!

I'll step up to the plate for nin (I like a challenge)

I think what he's trying to say is that you're not going to see a WTC recreation game coming out anytime soon because everyone who lost somebody in that disaster would be upset. The same goes for the JFK thing - imagine a game reacreating the death of one of your family members. WWII shooters don't have characters modelled after real people AND they don't attempt to recreate exact conditions of any one person's death. I wouldn't want Jackie Kennedy to see that screenshot of her husband in the crosshairs.

On the flip side, this all happened over 40 years ago and I'm sure she's been saturated with documentaries and other media. She's probably talked about it a lot too. Plus, it's a historical event and one of the largest conspiracy theories ever to occur sooo...

Arguments can be made for both cases, can't we all just get along?

Coming soon, from the makers of JFK Reloaded,

Columbine Reloaded

Now you too can experience the Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold simulation.

...

Just finished listening to Opie & Anthony and they talked about it towards the end of the show. Ant mentions that certain themes will become fair game after an amount of time has passed. Examples include Vietnam. You can't toss a dead cat without hitting a Vietanam based shooter right now but 20 years ago it would've been tasteless. One of the guys mentions that there are these kiddie water slides that are made in the shape of the sinking Titanic where the kids slide down the decks and end up in a little pool of water. 1500 people died on the Titanic so by all acounts its was a horrific human tragedy but its been reduced to a tacky kiddie ride. Nobody bats an eye. Who's to say that 80 years from now a free-fall drop amusement parks ride named "The twin Towers of Terror" modeled after the WTC won't be a hit?

something to ponder anyway

Still waiting for your point there, chummy. Run off to classes and see if an education can help you out.

Answer the movies question at least. If you can remember that far back. Use the big bar thing on the right of the screen to move down the page.

HTH

They've saved a lot of money on the advertising doing this, haven't they?

personally i dont see why this should be covered by the gaming press. Sounds like a cheap crap game thats trying to get publicity by being controversial. so far so manhunt. If these games were any good they wouldnt have to go for the 'shock value'/ Lets not dignify this trash with press coverage, Im sure there are a number of decent new indie games bluesnews could be covering instead of this tabloid dross.
