Family Org Chastises Nintendo for MadWorld

[Bat Vader]

So apparently the PS3 and X-BOX 360 are the two older brothers and the wii is the little innocent child who just did wrong? Aren't families great.

Hey, guess what parents?

DON'T BUY THE GAME!

Problem solved.

 

[SenseOfTumour]

ok, that last line got me laughing

they seriously said a zombie game promotes cannibalism? the hell?

Makes me think of the zombie watchman in Discworld, who'd berate dead bodies for being lazy and just laying around. 'Come on, get up and get shambling, show some pride for once in your unlives!'

Really unless that's the case, that people who played Stubbs are going to return as a zombie and eat brains, I don't think we need worry.

no one's making them buy it. i mean for every hardcore violent game, there are like 200 more casual games that no one who has been gaming most of their life would buy. that's like saying a street is unsafe to drive on because there is one pothole on it

 

[DeadMG]

It's a darn video game. Video games come in all genres and sizes. Honestly, how many times will we hear some dumb parenting group criticizing video games just cause they are mature? It's our right to have video games, if they don't like it, they shouldn't complain.

QFT. Nintendo can let any damn game they like come out on their console if they think it'll be profitable, and no family is obligated to buy the game and play it in front of their kids.

I have to agree with another poster, that it simply broadens the range of people who might want to buy the Wii.

We are the ones who should be annoyed for lack of games like this, it seems for every good Nintendo game there is about a hundred kid friendly sims on the Wii.

Saying your a fan of Nintendo now makes you look like your unable to cross the road without Mommy holding your hand.

Well, DUHHHHH. Of course they're gonna have violent games! Violent games, no matter how you look at it, are an integral part of the video-game market. Without that backing them up, Nintendo, which is, admittedly, rather "family-friendly", will still not make as large a profit as it could. This NIMF organization needs to grow the hell up. JUST DON'T BUY THE GAME, if you don't want it played in your household. Furthermore, I agree with xmetatr0nx: these things are getting paranoid, and it's goddamn annoying. I mean, Christ! Games may be violent- there are even a few games that I think are just plain too sadistic to be good for ya- but hell, videogames are a better way for a kid to learn about violence and the pain it brings than, oh say, picking a fight or GOING TO WAR. It's just plain sad that this is such a hot-button issue nowadays, when kids are also just traipsing into disgusting horror and slasher flicks without their parents so much as batting an eye.

"Son, you may never play the game Madworld. NEVER!"

"Okay.... Uh, can I get some money to go see Saw 4 with some friends?"

"Sure, just be home before twelve."

BULLSHIIIITTT!!!!!!!!!

 

[Johnn Johnston]

So, they're getting annoyed about MadWorld and not about "Party Babyz"? Sheesh.

Besides, a console doesn't need to only have family-friendly games to be family-friendly.

 

[irishdelinquent]

Stupid parents organizations. Don't they have anything better to do?

(please, please, PLEASE tell me that Mario and Sonic at Disneyland is just a joke.)

Moral Guardians, unite!

On the bright side, our economy can't be THAT bad if people still have both the time and the resources to waste protesting such trivial and downright absurd things.

Fuck those assholes that don't believe in freedom of speech.
