Manhunt 2
 
this goes out to the ailing PS2, PSP, and Wii owners who have to wait until october for a (supposedly) great game to come out.
I am aware of the controversy, but STILL, there is worst stuff than that inj most movies, which can be purchased by 8 yearolds on unrated editions, so where does the ESRB get off?

manhunt although it looks good its gonna have necrophile porn in it and that just ain'tnice to see

although i would like to castrate someone with wire cutters

Mac Sirloin 07-08-2007 02:32 PM

Yikes...Necrophilia? That is messed up.
I thought the controversy was about the excessive violence but...Jesus Christ...I guess I'll rethink this...

Uhm... dude you're an idiot.

The castration motion with the Wii-mote would be the most ridiculous thing to watch if you just came in a room XD.

Frankly, I don't want to see another man's balls, let alone see them get cut off. Necrophilia would be a lot easier on the eyes, not to mention the brain (the ability to imagine oneself in these horrible situations is not a good thing.)

No, I think I'll be avoiding this game.

Manhunt was a lame, over-rated game that got such good reviews because it had the balls to tackle controversial issues even Paris Hilton wouldn't think of doing. I hate this game and everything about it. It's a disgrace to the gaming industry and is one of the main reasons why Jack Thompson has such low expectations of the effect of games on people, thus leading him to keep decent games off the shelves due to claims of the games affecting the minds of gamers.

You are an idiot for enjoying games like this and I wish you a tragic accident that will either paralyze you for life or give you a terminal illness.

Good day to you sir.

Mitsur the entire point of a game is to do things you can't do in real life and thats exactly what Rockstar is playing into with GTA and Manhunt.

Why do you play racing games? Because never in your life will you ever drive a real F1 car.
Why do you RPG's? Because it's a world that doesn't exist and you get to use magic, be famous, stuff like that.

Why do people play manhunt and GTA? Because you can run people over and stab them to death 10.000 times with a blunt object as they are screaming in agony and you can get away with it. Thats the fun of the game, simple as that.

Ofcourse everyone has different taste in games, but believing that games like this affect a gamers mind just because they are violent is crazy.
I'm not thinking about stealing an F1 car just because I just came first in a race on the Xbox 360. I'm not gonna run onto the soccer field during the finals because I think I can make a difference. I'm not gonna dress up like some unknown figure and pretend to do magic and throw myself infront of a bus. Why the hell would I cut someone's throat out with a carkey?! Yes it's a violent game, that's why it has a mature rating and not a PG-13 rating. If people can not see the huge border between a game and reality they are ****ing up in the head anyway and if they hadn't played the game something else would have set them off. Blaming games for real life violence is the biggest excuse someone could have ever come up with.

I agree... partially. As lame as Manhunt is you shouldn't interfere with someone's opinion.
I, myself, think it's pointless to spend hours and hours just massacring people. The point is completely lost when you play such a game and it's a waste of time. As for driving simulations and such you get the feeling of accomplisheness (Unlocking cars and such). Killing games are just there at that exact moment while extracting gruesome violence over a baseball bat through someone's head.
You can't brag around among your friends how many people you would've killed as much as you can brag that you earned all those pesky gold medals in Burnout.
Besides, driving is a thing in real life that's considered enjoyable. Killing, on the other hand, isn't. I don't think there's anyone to enjoy killing couple hundreds people as much as he's gonna enjoy a ride on a tropical island or somewhere in real life.

Not to mention those annoying game over screens (in any game) that make you play over and over and instead of having fun, the game turns into an obligation. You lose more and more nerves playing such a game.

I enjoyed getting killed in Mafia. It would always turn out in a funny way, and you could learn from it not to make the mistake again.

Me and my friends brag about killing thigs, you're just weird Fortesque. Also, I am sure plenty people enjoy killing people in real life, they just know not to. So they can pursue that dream in games.

Laser 07-13-2007 01:07 PM

I think i have wound up a few people about i would like to castrate someone
After looking through some of the previews and some soul searching i have found that i was a prick to say that i would like to castrate someone.
Damn my mind

Thanks for the compliment...

Yeah, yeah, but what afterwards? What about your conscience? I have mine killing me even when I virtually kill someone.
(If it's a serious enough game = Mafia)

What's the fun in castrating? Not only do you ruin your suit(or other clothes), but you also take away a life prematurely. Afterwards, you're under the effect of what's stated after the quote above.

lmao. Your conscience is a pussy. You're all like "Oh know! I killed generic citizen 57 in GTA!" lmao. Pathetic really.

Fortesque13 07-13-2007 06:06 PM

Not in GTA. Definetely not, especially since I played it online. But Mafia has more lifelike characters to it. It varies from game to game.

And THIS
:

Your conscience is a pussy
is 100% true.

Oh, you think I want to buy this as a 'killing simulator', do you?
Ever played Doom 3 mitsur, like honestly, any scary game?
me neither, 'CAUSE THERE ARE NONE.
Thats why manhunt 2 looks good to me, possibly the most tense game I've ever played, and with a Nintendo console, no less. Irony, people.

Stop making assumptions ya mook, I am only voicing my complaint about the game being pushed back, I am not saying how great its gonna be to behead people.

And **** Jack Thompson, how dare you even mention him, did you know he filed a lawsuit against rockstar about this game when it was ANNOUNCED?
Then he had the balls to complain to Wendys (fast food chain) about the upcoming violent releases for the Wii? what the hell? why doesn't someone just kill him?

Piss off, mitsur, stop being such a dick and think before you type.
