Everything that has happened videogame-related has gotten ridiculous. Like that time Resident Evil 5 was accused of being racism or when Nannies were offended by the "Bad Nanny" Achievement/Trophy in Dante's Inferno and actually called the ESRB to tell EA Redwood to remove it. Things like that are just plain dumb and so I ask you, what's the dumbest thing you've heard that involved a videogame?

Some Korean dude killing another person IRL because of an MMO. Also, there were people who literally starved/fatigued to death because of WoW.

I once heard that a guy robbed a Gamestop. Snagged a Wii and a few games and fled but before he did that, he shot one of the employees in the leg for getting in his way.

Left 4 Dead 2 was accused of being racist cause people said most of the infected looked black and there was bodies floating in the water which offended people affected by Hurricane Katrina

They didn't. Postal didn't even cover half of that. However, they did good to help offend. Loved it.


Also, everyone is afraid to touch one person: Mohammed.

imagine of there was a game where you played as a demon sent by Lucifer to take down God
that would definately offend most of the world

People getting in a fist fight over the last PS3 that was available for sale at Wal-Mart. Not as severe as what AG mentioned though, but eh, still dumb.

" After being banned from the PlayStation Network for hateful comments stated in Resistance's online community, Erik Estavillo launched not one, but two, lawsuits against Sony for infringing on his "first amendment rights" -- an argument that was shot down by Judge Ronald Whyte simply because "Sony is not part of the government."

However, what Estavillo lacks in civil online discourse, he makes up for with sheer determination and persistence. In addition to Sony, he now has both Microsoft and Nintendo in his sights.

I think that every microsoft developed system other than the MSX is dumb. The original Xbox controller was shit, they charge you for a service that's free through Sony and Nintendo and they're systems' general hardware failure rate is 10 times the acceptable range within the first year and a half!

Exactly.


When do parents take the blame? You can't blame it on the kids or the games: the parents are mostly at fault for buying and allowing their grossly underage children playing those games.




Also, my brother got in BIIIIIG trouble for drawing guns as his favorite thing, when he was in second grade. Big BIG trouble. I lol'd so hard. I wanted to punch the teacher and the Principal for thinking it was even a big deal. It's that type of mentality that needs to STFU and die.

Couldn't agree more. They were kinda funny at first, but then got old and stupid pretty fast, especially when they started having 'em in the majority of fighting titles.

The custom taunts in Brawl (online) though was when I really started hating them.

you know what else i think is the dumbest thing that games should've been fixed by now, is when your character walks up to a wall, and they still keep on walking or running. it's like are you serious? how do you run in place while face to face with wall directly infront of you, with it being in your way. same goes for ledges and cliffs. in alot of games you won't fall off, you just keep doing the foward moonwalk. fail. resident evil was the most memorable one for me when it came to thins when it came out in 96 and it still did it with pt. 5 12 years later in 2008, the most recent one i played that does this is "Darksiders" for the 360. and that came out in 2010..

enough with it..

Dumbest decisions not to release games in North America, in terms of lost revenue-
Super Mario Bros. 2
Castlevania X: The Rondo of Blood
Mother (Earthbound Zero)
Mother 3
Final Fantasy II
Final Fantasy III
Original version of Metal Gear
Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake
Freshly Picked Tingle's Rose Colored Rupeeland
Color-Changing Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love
Mad City (The fixed, more fair version of The Adventures of Bayou Billy)
Castlevania III, Metroid, Legend of Zelda, Zelda II (with the extra soundchip present to better emulate richer soundtracks and/or the Disk System sound chip)
Mega Man and Bass
Mega Man: The Wily Wars
Vampire Killer
Star Fox 2
Sin and Punishment
Stafy series
Fire Emblem series
Final Fantasy V

Don't get me wrong, the PS3 has a decent online system, but the 360's for the time, is just better. However, if rumor turns out to be true (and this I have only heard through word-of-mouth... and not the most reliable source) Sony's online system may improve exponentially... though I have yet to see any evidence that this is truly going to happen.

Nintendo's, however is simply worthless. There is no friends list, except for codes you have type in, and that still gives no way to tell if your friends are online, the matches lag an unacceptable ammount, there really aren't that many games worth playing online... Let's face it, online gaming is not Nintendo's primary concern, they're all about "getting the family together"... and making millions by publishing hordes of gimmicky games (like Beach Fun Summer Challenge, Action Girlz Racing, Wii Music, Carnival Games and Wii fit) occasionally producing games for the hardcore (Metroid Other M, The Next Zelda Game, Super Mario Galaxy, etc.)

What happened to the Wii is what I am terrified will happen to the 360 when Natal comes out. Ugh, I dread looking at the 360 wall in Game Stop and seeing millions of games like "Family Party: 30 Great Games" and "Beach Fun Summer Challenge" with only the occasional Halo, or Assassin's Creed, or Mass Effect.

Taunts had a very important purpose in the Art of Fighting series which I believe were the first games they appeared in. They diminished you're enemies spirits to make their special moves completely pathetic and ineffective. Creative taunting was the only way to beat Mr. Karate in the first game or else he would absolutely wreck you.

These are both cases of companies ignoring the past. Sony just forgot what happened to the Neo Geo, the Jaguar, and the 3DO but are now correcting their price snafu (but not their PS2 snafu). Microsoft will change its policies once they start paying out billions in class action settlements like Toshiba is.

Well, I would love to see Prototype be made into a movie. They could keep the story almost entirely intact, as well. The art direction, the feel, etc. All of that could remain. It would make for a great movie. However, it would be easy to **** up, for sure.

Theres been plenty of good ones.

name 'em..

Mortal Kombat
Resident Evil 1
Resident Evil: Degeneration
Street Fighter 2 The animated movie

So its not heaps..........but hey those are the ones that i enjoyed.

companies starting with Nintendo's Zelda collection deciding to cut corneres by emulate rather than port their old games-
Random freezing in Majora's Mask (was this fixed on the VC version?), Most of the games messed up in some way on the Mega Man Anniversary Collection, Link to the Past making GBA speakers clip (but it's fine when played on the DS).
I also gotta continue my whine fest about Force Unleashed. It would be an awesome game if I could play it for more than 15 minutes without it freezing and deleting all my progress.

goodness.

these are not movie based games..

they're movies based on games, do you understand?

a movie based game is a game that is based of a movie. not the other way around.

like for example Avatar: the video game, 09's GI JOE game, Transformers, Ironman, Superman Returns: the game. These games are based on the acutal movie that came out in theatres. Too bad they all scuk. Just like mostly all movie based games do most of the time.

The Punisher for PS2, Judge Dredd on the SNES, Batman on the NES and arcade, just about every version of Batman Returns including the Konami beat em up on the NES, Robocop the arcade game, Aliens the arcade game, all fantastic games based on films. I could probably think of more.

Spiderman 1 and 2 and somewhat 3 were good
Goldeneye was awesome
Some Star Wars games were pretty good, I liked the Episode I and Jedi Power Battles (which was loosely based on Episode I, as well)
I liked Demolition Man
Punisher was pretty good, though that seems to have been more based on the comic.
Heard the Godfather game was supposed to be alright
Enter the Matrix was alright
Alien versus Predator (should count double...I jest of course)

Some of those are arguable, but I do agree with you in sentiment anyways, most movie based games are dreadful, especially those they just shit out as cheap merchandise to promote their often even shittier films.

I dread looking at the 360 wall in Game Stop and seeing millions of games like "Family Party: 30 Great Games" and "Beach Fun Summer Challenge" with only the occasional Halo, or Assassin's Creed, or Mass Effect.

The occassional Halo is fine with me.

When did that become a barometer of mature gaming anyway? It's like a bunch of aliens went to a rave with Fisher Price guns.

The fact that gaming has become more family friendly doesn't seem to be affecting anything, not to my knowledge.

The rarer Halo is, the better.

Yeah, it seems to be an additional market, not a competition.

aside from the ACII review (sad, it's just them trying to get protagonism), they forgot the dumb "racist" discussion about RE5 and L4D2
the Dante's Inferno thing was kinda funny
and the Six Days in Fallujah thing with the media singlehandedly destroying a company just shows how stupid and narrowminded they are now-a-days
then again... when hasnt the media been stupid and narrow minded?

The way you just said it then it is pretty much what i said ..............you need to re-word what your saying

as for the way other way your trying to type as



heres are the good

-Lord of the rings games (excluding fellowship of the ring)
-King Kong
-Star Wars: Episode 3
-Judge Dredd for the snes/genesis
-james bond: Golden eye
-The Warriors
-The Riddick Games

Here's one I don't think anyone's mentioned. Atari not making their carts proprietary, thus leading to a glut of horrible games and the video game crash.

I forgot to mention that there actually was a sure thing formula for making licensed games back in the early 90's. The beat 'em up. The Simpsons Arcade game for example is still the greatest Simpsons video game ever made. Same with X-Men.

i miss playing Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter
i kicked ass as Sub Zero

It questions me why on earth Rockstar would show off wang in the lost and damned. They knew they threw fuel in the fire with sex mini games in Sanandreas so what made them think showing something like that wouldn't have negative feedback? Either it's that whole "we have rights" BS, or they wanted to get a few lols after hearing the response about it.

probably because negative feedback is like gold to them
theyll be remembered for forever as the comapny that put out games where you openly killed hookers after doing them, adding the "Hot Coffee" mod and now this latest thing
plus kids will continue going out behind their parents backs to buy these game for a long long time
