Manhunt Controversy

I don't know, If I was rockstar and they gave me and AO on something that should have been M, I'd make it AO. More Gore,More Sadisticness,More cussing, More Nudity, and a three sex many game that double as boss fights.

Honestly it's not like little kids will be playing this game much, I recall people saying Twisted Metal: Black gave them nightmares although I found the movies funny myself.

It doesnt matter if kids wont play it.

It's the matter that Rockstar went over the line and got an AO rating. It's simple.

The game is violent as hell, and they got punished for it.

Personally, maybe its a good thing it got an AO rating.

PS3 are region free for games, right? Buy an import off ebay srug

sounds like every tenchu game that ever came out lol

I think video games are meant to be outlets for expression no matter how opposite it may be on the ends of the spectrum

my attitude is if you dont like, dont buy... preventing it from reaching shelves is just stupid.. its the consumers responsibility to decide whether this product is taboo for them or not.... not people like jack thompson who thrive making money off of suckers who dont practice what they preach

I think the comparison with Tenchu is facile, really.

This game is fare more connected with the violence. Tenchu might be harsh but it feels more like Tom and Jerry for all the emotional impact it has.

The selling online thing is entirely reasonable. It's the natural consequence of producing a game that outlets won't sell. Of course, no two ways about it, that will drastically harm its sales. But then they knew what they were doing.

I'm still fairly sure they'll alter it to get an M on consoles.

Ps3 is region free with PS3 games, or else I would own one, and import every Tales Of game on Ps2.

It also depends on which part of the world you live in. As you see here (I'm not sure where you are from), different people have different attitudes towards games. Places like Japan are more free on games and television, but US is more limited, and places in Europe most limited. Europe restricted the Ninja Turtles when it came out on cartoon in the 80's for Christ's sake.

T'was a sad day for the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles

So ireland, being trigger happy with the BAN button (Pink Floyd (Arnold lane) Monty Python, etc etc) Have decided to ban Manhunt 2 due to its graphic nature.

Now, in the US, People have risen up and said they'll slap it with an AO (Adults only) rating, meaning it can't be sold at Best buy, target, Can't be ported on the Sony or Nintendo - Sales are very limited.

I was never going to play it. I still don't want to. but FFS, Is anybody ehre old enough to remeber going into a R movie at 13 with your friends? just paying the ticket and going in and nobody gave a damn?
WTF Changed? God damn this is pissing me off.

Congratulations you weak f|cktards who are limiting our fun by "looking out for use" by banning video games. You weak f|cktards. Thanks to you take - Two will be short changed 40 million bucks, PLUS the production cost (Several million now a days) (FEAR? 25 million) Which will mean huge cuts, meaning less games that could potentially have been awsome.

Could they change the content of manyhunt? Sure, and kill the game along with it. Its not like with the Far Cry Fiasco where you just took out the Ragdolling from dead bodies, Violence is the essence of Manhunt.

Thank you. Thank you very much. Sour Crout f|cking mothers looking out for Timmy. Eat my shorts. Whats next? hmm? Oh no! lets ban GUNS in video games! Guns are bad! And now they are WAAAAAY too realistic, its virtual trainning! They might induce us into becomming all Terrorists! Oh no! 9/11! games cause People to Go mad and 9/11! 9/11! everybody!

Surely, you do not want Mr. Jones to come back?

while i agree with most of what you said, your jab at the irish was uncalled for...

no i dont agree with them banning manhunt, but that other stuff was years ago, and is inconsequential...

Banning games is just ignorant and what really pisses me off is that Thompson dude that blames every teenage or young adult that kills someone on video games. It's the parent's fault for what their kids do.

That's just swings and roundabouts. The US has a reputation for being very puritan about sex.

Manhunt now won't be released and how long is indefinite.

It will take millions for them to alter its content in order to achieve a M rating.

So don't be too sure they'll do it.

Anata wa wakarimasu ka.....

Lol poop.

I wasn't trying to jab, its the truth. And you can't handle it.

Its like me saying "German Soldiers Killed Hundreds of thousands of Jews" Then someone saying "F|ck you, that was years ago, its inconsequential now."

Not only is that comparison WAY off, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the topic.

POOP!

If you can't post and stay on-topic, then don't post at all.

I only posted that because I decided to delete what I originally posted via Edit.

Then you should have just put "Edit". Don't get banned again too fast, now.
