You know what? How about we drop some truth on you: Every time we see a trailer for this game we want it to be terrible, but it just keeps looking awesomer. It's like some bizarre fever dream that F. Gary Gray would have after watching Three Kings and Romancing the Stone back to back. You know what, the internet? Do want. How is that for honesty? Do. Want.
How you like the 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand trailer now?

Is it just me, or is this garbage really kind of offensive to those that are actually fighting a cockeyed war in Iraq? I'll play this game when it is at least semi-rooted in truth. Screw this wannabe patriotic trash.
Go overseas, 50. Go over there and act tough... Even if you happen to be tough, you'll still look just as much like an effing tool as you do now.

lol.. i agree.. this looks fake.. just like 50.. so what's next? "50 cent: hate the 50 pence haters"
but seriously.. i think they will make more profit if they scrap this whole game and leave it where it is now.. make it opensource.. or w/e .. but don't release it!!

The word you're looking for, The1, is Tawdry.
But I appreciate your honest attempt at a "burn."

It was an F35 joint strike fighter.
Its suppose to replace the aging F16 and A10(though I doubt it can,or ever will replace the A10) and *what ever shitty as plane the Royal Air Force is currently using as a strike fighter. I think Canada, Israel, and Sweden are also buying a few but im not sure.
*Im only joking, the RAF actually has some of the best fighters in the world.

Lol, there is nothing 'cool' about 50 cent.

Man, look at the hate this guy got brought upon himself.
I think the only way this game turns out cool is if it is completely over-the-top action, similar to Live Free or Die Hard. If I can control 50 while I'm atop the wing of a Harrier (or whatever it was) jumpjet, among other similar situations, this could be a nice break from the normal FPS. Of course, it has to be done well.
Or it could go the Sadness route and include some high-in-the-shock-factor scenarios...

You know I can honestly say that the game looks waaay better then his first one. I havent been into rap or 50 for yeeaarrs and even at the this point hate rap all together. But even that wouldnt affect me probably getting this game. I wouldnt call it a console killer yet, but it is definitely a good looking game.
At least they are doing it right this time.

yea it doesnt look completely terrible. i thought the first one was retarded personally but all my friends were raving about it (most likely because they are big 50 Cent fans). i dont know, judging from the first one, this second game can only get better. ok Fiddy, you at least have my attention.

Thats to be expected, you can easily throw the race or rap music card on this as a lot of ppl are gonna downplay the game because of it.
If it does well in the reviews I'll definitely pick up a copy. Nothing like another gears of war-esque game to keep you busy untill GoW2.

Goodness gracios poeple! The game will do well with the people its aimed at. All the nerds in this mother can stop the "I'm not playing it even if they pay me in WoW gold" comments. Its not aimed at you! IMO (just from the looks of course, still gotta see reviews)it looks kinda cool, maybe a rental even.

Listen, this game will sell at least 1,000,000 copies at least, what they are trying to do, is get that other 1,000,000 people like you that dont want to buy it bc its 50, now that they have more money to make the game and they are trying to do the right thing we get all these negative comments because its hip hop or rap or bc its 50, thats just real ignorant to say the least, its amazing how much people have to express that they dont like this game, and specifically state it on the comments. If you dont like it dont bother.
Heres my hope (SOAP BOX TIME), that when this game releases the gameplay, multiplayer (if it has it), achievements, (Story sounds lame but whatever works), and all other aspects of the game make it like one of the top games out. If its like dark sector it must have done something right.
Thats it im done.

I think it's a joke that 50 Cent is actually allowing his name and likeness to be used in this game.
I can see the news headlines now:
"50 Cent Encourages Young, Impressionable Gamers to Violently Kill Arabs!"
Seriously, the game looks good, but, I think it's sending a very bad message to his young fan base and the people who pay attention to this stuff.
With all the flak the game industry is taking these days with violence and mature content I don't think a game starring 50 Cent is a good idea.
Hopefully, it'll fall under the radar like the last 50 Cent game.

It might even be higher than 2mill as I only have PS2/PSP sales. VGchartz doesn't have Xbox figures and I was just estimating at least 1mill for Xbox since this game was multiplat when it released.

-2 internets for when I take time to notice, she's actually ugly and the boobs are a weird shape.
