Daily Star Gets Nailed for Made-Up GTA Story
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
I suppose that people who like to comment on things that they know nothing about would also have no way of knowing how terrible the fake boxart is.
It's good to see a tabloid getting called out on something silly for all the world to see and laugh at.
Isn't this defamation? I know it's rockstar but even they can't like the idea that someone is saying they would do something in such poor taste.
Well Rockstar definitely has some ammo to sue the Star, but I think we know what the Star will say. Sad that there are people who would pull this sort of stuff.
Unfortunately, my little friend, many people find it easy to believe whatever is put in front of them, regardless of whether it is true or not. And even a fair chunk of those still hang onto that misguided thought after the facts are revealed.Jack and Calumon said:
Beh, ashamed of my country's newspapers... but then quite frankly that's nothing horribly new. The only one I can even stand reading is the Times.
Still, that said, I was pleasantly surprised to see a freakishly positive news story about the British games industry (well sort of) on BBC news. Remember we had that news piece recently about the fake Canadian passports at the UK games developers conference? It was about that, and the state of the industry surrounding it, and it really did highlight the creativity of the industry at large while not once mentioning the usual controversy.
Though, of course, it for some reason substituted proper pictures of games with fake animations reminiscent of the early eighties >.> Still, for once, a scarily positive angle.

I never was quite sure on that. The Observer seems to have gone through many stages. But yeah, I'll change that. It's mostly Upper Middle though.mcshed said:

Sadly, it looks less like it was designed by a three year old.
Well, then again...my reaction to another Grand Theft Auto would be somewhere along the lines of: "Oh, Gawd. Again!?" and "Please, stop wasting your money on this worthless franchise."
So, I suppose, to me, scrapping this idea from the get-go is a good thing.

Here's a hint to all my non-Britons, never trust any tabloid with "Daily" in the name.
- Our right wing is just as bad as yours, America.
It's why I read the Guardian, and occasional the Independent.

They supported Conservative this election.vallorn said:
All of the Britons get the same papers, just as bad here in Scotland, and over in Northern Ireland and Wales I'm afraid.SadakoMoose said:
That cover is in really fucking bad taste...
Sorry, but it just distract's me from the whole thing...

when she said that Video Games reward violence i immediately thaught of "Planescape: Torment". if i remember correctly you are only forced to fight two times in the entire game, all other conflicts can often be solved by stealth or dialogue. The games gives experience points for both fighting and dialouge which means that the player can play as a guy who speaks himself out of most situations or a walking tank who shreds people to pieces, Additionally game rewards players whit more experience points through the dialogue rather than the fighting.FargoDog said:
