.. whats sad?

 

[gurl_962]

may be because how much ppl love video games.

 

[white dove]

Perhaps this: "The game is rated for people aged 17 or older and "MW2" has stirred a bit of controversy for depicting realistically brutal terrorist encounters."

 

[explodingboy]

Still don't see anything sad..

 

[white dove]

Maybe this? "Players join a global military task force taking on ultranationalist Russian terrorists to save the world. Settings include Russia, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, and Brazil."

standard FPS setting..

certainly not original, but still no reason to get upset about it.

Yeah, haven't we all played a game involving Russian terrorists?

It's sad because it's a over-hyped game that deep down is as cookie-cutter and generic as the millions of shooters before it.

why change what ain't broke.

sometimes, I want a nice brainless shooter. Although Nazi zombies co-op, is about the only one I've been playing of late.

Unless your really being anal about the distinction between Mafia/Terrorist/bad guy.

There are more than a few video games that let you shoot Russians.

Should be more that let you shoot Americans.

 

[Sketcher]

Should be more that let you shoot Americans.

Why would you be so eager to shoot Americans in a game?

I honestly don't think it's any different from any other video game... it's true that I don't understand why people want to play realistic war-type games, but people also don't understand why I play fantasy-style games which also have characteristics of war in them (fighting, killing, tactics, etc). The graphics aren't the same, but the concepts are. I don't think what you play as really takes away from the fact that it's still about killing and conquering, or protecting, or one of those themes.

Whatever floats people's boats I guess.. I'm not one of those people that think video games really affect society much, other than becoming addictions.

Well why are people so eager to shoot Russians?

My actual point was it is sad this video game grossed that much money on opening day. It means people really have no lives.

Perhaps his point is that no one seems to have a problem shooting Russians, but you'll never see games where you get to gun down Americans... apparently that would be wrong. -eye roll- lol
