God this sickens me. I'm 26 and I don't want my games sensored. Hell, if you don't want kids to play it, don't buy it for them. I worked for a hideous used game store chain(who shall be nameless)and you would not believe how many parents, come in with their kids, the kid begs for halo or GTA or some other M game, I flip the game over and say, "This game is rated mature for blood, gore, drug use, and sexual acts with a goat, are you sure you want this for your kid (who is 6 years old)." and I would say 99.9% of the time the parents exact words are, "Yeah, sure. It's fine." or "oh, he's/she's played it at a friends house, it's ok. He/she is used to it."
Screw you Jack Thomson, screw you the ratings board and FUCK Uwe Bolle. I'm having a bad week....
Like I said before, my neighborhood stores are STILL sitting on Units. One has 6, the other has 10. I don't think this is an anomaly, I think this is a catastrophe.But hey, who is to say that in a year or two things won't pick up. Right?
I work for another store that sells PS3's in their inventory, and we've had some sit on the shelves as long as 6 days. In fact we have a few right now, just sitting there. I push them and push them, but people tell me...."Naw, that's ok." Come to Northern cali, its the truth.
Isn't that what the Playstation was? A trend? Isn't that what they said video games were? Just a trend? People said that about Rock and roll, hip hop, and so forth. Trends die, these things evolve. (Yes I paid full price for ET on the 2600 and I don't regret it, I didnt want games to be just a trend.)
39. Mullinator- IGN claimed they had a Wiimote fly across a room as well. I'm sure they are making it up to get more press. ;) It happens.
Yeah, I read that, and the Wii-mote came apart. Im sure it would do the same thing if it hit a TV. I call BS, the force to throw the mote, the strap restraining some of its force, hits TV...Wii-mote breaks, not tv.
As a non-homophobe, I think this is a step in the right direction....choices...choices...choices. We should be able to decide what we want to do. I think there should be more games where girls or gay men can be the main chracter or even the hero. If you got a problem with it(same as with violent games) dont play it. I will enjoy my games unbiased.
