I like the title, don't change it! D:<
I'll look forward to the game and uh... the end result of whatever implodes next time.

I can see this game flying off the shelves at Wal*Mart, Target, and Best Buy!

Hey, I'm from America (and I'm proud of it), and I found his comment to be delightfully witty. Keep it up, bruv!

@That One Guy It's not like Europe is in better shape. Infact, "Whore of the Orient" could mean the whole "occidental" part of the globe.

After all the negative stories about how this guy treats his employees, they still let him in the industry as director?

Without Rockstar to bail him out I can't see McNamara making another successful game.
I also can't see anyone releasing a game with this title (thankfully).

Why don't they just rename the game "Your Mom"?

@Faceless Troll I don't think I'd pay 59.99 for your mom. Even with a preorder bonus.

@superfrick But the preorder bonus is complimentary VD.

I'd rather just pay $49.99 for a used copy of your mom. Sure she'd be a little dinged up and probably not come with a manual, but that's okay. I'm sure I can find all kinds of stuff on your mom on the Internets.

It has nothing to do with the word whore and everything to do with the word orient...

whatever you say but oriental is more specific.
Iraqis and Iranians are asians, but they aren't oriental.

If you're that interested in being specific, you can refer to people's actual ethnicity.

We're not carpets. Don't use oriental unless you're referring to carpets, or chicken wings. even the chicken wings is a stretch.

I'm a mongoloid myself and i don't think "Oriental" is so much offensive as it is confusing to use. Oriental literally means Easterner. So are the 15-20 million Asian Americans like myself Easterner Westerners? Or Westerner Easterners?
Also, the term just has this "hey, you're a foreigner with foreign alien DNA!" connotation to it. Which can be true in many cases, but in my case, I was born in Texas and I only speak English. I'm sure my kids will be the same, and theirs too. It would be weird to call my grandchildren "Orientals" if no one in their family has spoken Chinese or Filipino (my girlfriend's background) for more than 60 years...

Nope, there is absolutely now way you will get some controversy over a title like that.
Private Joker: What do we get for ten dollars?
Da Nang Hooker: Every t'ing you want.

I never claimed to represent the opinion of billions of people who share a percentage of my DNA.
Many Asian immigrants have no problem calling themselves Orientals. It makes a lot of sense from their point of view, too. My mom and dad both came from China, and will use the terms Oriental and Asian interchangeably. I'm pretty sure Oriental was the most popular English way to refer to their race when they were learning English. In 2011, no one learns to say "Oriental" in the same way that no one learns to say "Negro". Only old people still use those words. My brother and none of my cousins, nor my girlfriend use "Oriental" to describe themselves.
Anyway I find nearly all racial terms to be weird and inaccurate. Whites aren't white. They are a yellowish-pink. Nearly all blacks are dark brown at best. Then there are many people who use "white" and "Caucasian" interchangeably, despite the Supreme Court saying that Indians (from India) are also Caucasian. Only Albino Africans are truly white people.
