Mass Effect Controversey

[Zeraki]

The 'expert' put her foot in her mouth and eventually admitted she was wrong. So that was a win for us, she apologized to the gaming community for her snide insinuations. As far as I know, Fox has still yet to apologize for spreading lies about the game.

*Peter laugh*

That would have been great.

"Your words are as [meaningless as smoke blown out of your ass]. I am [going to put you in your place]. This exchange is over."
-Soveriegn, on Fox News

I could just picture Sovereign hovering over Fox news studios... while he's destroying it.

 

[Simriel]

No one on The Escapist likes Fox News, and tbh, Old Controversy Is Old.

Anyways, it's time for another exciting round of criticizing Fox news!

Seriously, we all know Fox news is retarded. Do we need some thread to remind us of this every day?

it's more of a venting system. We feel the need to spread the idiocy so other people clue in on that "huge secret" and then they spread the word as well. Hopefully bringing downfall to this:

But have you ever heard someone on The Escapist support Fox news? Who are you educating?

Yeah but unfortunately if were to try and educate anyone else, we'd have to rise form our basements, not worth it.

 

[YuheJi]

I think with accusations like that, all Fox wants is attention. So if we all ignore it, hopefully it will stop? *crosses fingers*

 

[Straitjacketeering]

Any press is good press nowadays, who in the gaming world after hearing that chose not to pick up Mass Effect.

What bothers me even more is the fact that the media today are terrorists. What do terrorists do? Cause terror. What does FOX news do? See where i'm getting at?

It doesn't really "boil my blood", but I still can't understand how such an amazing example of bad journalism can just pass into oblivion so easily. The only reason I can think of is that it's pretty much par for the course for them - that they are so awful, so consistently, that outright making shit up isn't a scandal. It's telling of the times that I don't find that depressing.

I think Bioware learned its lesson, and will now keep on the down low about the sex in the game in Mass Effect 2.

Hardly - any publicity is good publicity, and it's free.

thats how rockstar games does it.

 

[AmericanTed]

This kind of publicity can't be bought. besides most gamers dont give a damn about what
whoever has a problem with video games has to say. Those critics are just harmless, weak fanatics. Who are eventually seen as lying jerks

There is not enough bitching in the world to ***** to FOX News about, but we can work towards it.

What the slight ass sequance here check this thread out its about breats in games i started it! http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.111848?page=4#1973188

 

[lizards]

any news station that yells "WERE FAIR AND BALANCED" at the slightest suggestion has got issues this is why CNN is much better

fox news is a joke and is now just a Obama/Democrat bashathon im Republican but Fox news is fucking insane

 

[Bat Vader]

Heh, i always find it a bit amusing when somebody relates to a year as being "really old" or "a long time ago". I guess it goes to show how fast paced the gaming industry is.

I know. GTA IV come out a year ago which is a bit difficult to believe. I mean you wait for a game and realize a year has gone by since you bought it.

 

[Lord Kofun]

Dear living God.. it has been a long time since I've seen Fox fail THAT hard. I mean, there have been some fails, but that is true with any news station, but... wow.

Failure.

 

[quiet_samurai]

Augh.... supressed feelings... from long ago....returning.....!!!

Just kidding bud, yeah that ***** making statements about the game when she never played it was bullshit, but honestly I think that fact FOX news blaintly went on TV and said there was sex in the game most likely boosted sales. I think Yahtzee said something about that in his review. And don't worry being pissed about something should not be constrained by time.

Old news old news, stop trolling.

I wouldn't consider the OP trolling.

 

[Pudgyboi]

Whatever.
