"Kill Castro" Mission Leads to Black Ops Boycott Call

Wait, this is classified as porn? Are there naked ladies in it? No? Then it's not porn. Idiots.

Meh. I disapprove of the mission, because it doesn't really add much to the game itself and felt like a weak excuse for publicity. Much like the No Russian mission in MW2; the series just thrives on pointless controversy lately. While it's indubitably great for sales, it's also an excuse for legislators and assorted idiots everywhere to band together against gaming as a whole.

It just makes me wonder if it's worth being controversial just for sales, when you potentially risk eventual harm to gaming.

again... dumbshit parents buying things for their spoiled brats and totally ignoring the ESRB label.
you know, i went to a gamestop the other night to see some older woman buying THIS GAME for her kids...
and i just sighed and shook my head, because i KNOW she's gonna be jumping on the "ban videogames" bandwagon soon enough... even though she keeps buying the games in the first place :/

So where were these people complaining when JFK Reloaded got released? Oh that's right they don't care.

 

[Bat Vader]

It is an M-Rated game not meant for children. I would hope the people at Alliance for Global Justice understand that an M-rating means cannot sell to children. If they are going to complain about the game they should play through the entire game first before judging it.

 

[BrunDeign]

Wouldn't it be violating our community's values to ban a game because of a fictional depiction of an assassination that never happened? Isn't that still violating the first amendment in some way?

 

[Mr.Pandah]

At least they didn't have you actually assassinate JFK...

 

[Alon Shechter]

By Durin's Beard!

 

[josemlopes]

Didnt they say that most players dont play the singleplayer missions? Most players who dont play those missions are the kids so its everything ok

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Anyone else excited for Duke Nukem Forever?

Spoiler: inevitable

In all seriousness, this is silly. Pornography? This game has nothing of the sort. Gun porn? Well... probably. But my main point is that A) It's not Castro, otherwise dude would be dead now, which he isn't, and B) It's Castro. Dictator of Cuba and generally a hated man. He caused suffering and pain amongst his people and America wanted him dead at the time. He's had over 800 assassination attempts and you want to stick up for a man who CLEARLY is not well liked?

Did you PLAY that third mission in Modern Warfare 2? That was worse than this. This is nothing.

Calumon: Wow, the internet shows he wraps sausages in papers and cooks them while eating them!

 

[Front Row]

The best advertisement is stuff like that

+ its free

Cheers

 

[Ekonk]

Holy fuckin' shit! People who know nothing about a medium are blaming it for the corruption of their children!?

Funny thing is, it's not even a game for children.

Also, we all know that Fidel Castro was a great guy who never harmed anyone himself.

 

[ClockWork]

I'm not a huge fan of Call of Duty, but I can't help but feel kind of bad for this game. First the thing with the Taliban thing, now this? Well, it's still probably going to make a profit roughly equal to the GDP of a small country anyway.

 

[Daniel Laeben-Rosen]

Somehow I think these people and I have a different deffinition of "Pornography".

Also, gotta love the amount of research these morons have done. I haven't even played the game(Not my thing) and even I know basic things like what genre it's in, the general idea of what's going on and so on.

I don't care if you hate videogames or want to ban a certain game... Just do your fucking research. 10 minutes on wikipedia atleast.

 

[Ickorus]

Lmao.

'Glorifying the assassination of living world leaders is just WRONG!'

Showing the assassination of someone who wasn't assassinated doesn't really make sense does it so I guess that would be wrong.
