Wow, I want to buy GoW just because of this speech all of a sudden. Seriously, well done Jaffe!

David Jaffe Lashes Out at CNN Anchor
- Thread starter MikeWehner
- Start date
Personally, while I agree with Jaffe on all of his points regarding CNN and how the news media in general regards video games and the industry... I think he needs to be a slight bit more professional about it. Even if he's right and these ignorant reporters feel the need to scapegoat video games either because they're too lazy to do some real research or because they know that hating on X subject will get them views, simply yelling at them and proclaiming their idiocy does not, in fact, actually work in the professional world.
In a perfect world, it would. In a truly perfect world, we'd go into VATS and deal with them the same way we deal with people in Fallout that don't feel particularly inclined to give us the deal we want to hear. However, as they're the ones with all of the cards in this deck, we have to play along.
... Unless someone has the button to launch all the nukes, in which case I'd gladly take my chances in an atomic wasteland instead of hearing their mindless ramblings.

I have to ask, are you trying to get a rage induced response? Because you certainly seem to be poking people with a stick and going "Neener neener!"Tinybear said:
If not, you might want to re-think how you post in the future, because this seems suspiciously like bait.
Well, to be frank, it did have a points system. Sure you had to go to statistics and search for overall points (which also dettermiend your level of "Criminalness") and it had abosolutely 0 inpact of the game. but there were points. and killing anyone (hooker included) would give you some.Quazimofo said:
Wow, I've never actually sat down to watch an American news program, but holy cow, you could practically taste the bias there, I don't claim that the UK's news programs are unbiased (that would be impossible) but at least they make a show of separating the facts and opinions, so you can tell what's going on and where the differing opinion lies. That ridiculous opening segment about speculative job loss at gun manufacturers was just breathtakingly overt... propaganda for lack of a better word.amaranth_dru said:
I'd go mad if all the news outlets in the U.K. were like that.
Erin Burnett is the worst. Look up her coverage of Occupy Wall Street. I don't care what you think about Occupy Wall Street (I think they're a few people who have no idea how to make a few, really good points surrounded by a huge number of idiots who want to slack of, smoke pot, and smell bad), her treatment of it cannot be honestly called "journalism".
