Eh, it's alright. 10/10 - IGN

If there's money to be made off of controversy, you can bet your arse someone's gonna do it.

What's so controversial about this?

What's so controversial about this?

Really?

For the same way this is controversial.



It lacks a very distinct amount of tastefulness.

I don't get what the first or third games are supposed to be referencing. Could you explain?

 

[Aerosteam]

There might as well be a Forrest Gump MOBA while we're at it.

 

[RJ 17]

I don't think there's a facepalm meme big enough to cover this one, but I'll try...

*prays to Google*

This is the best I've got:

The first game is based off the movie Forrest Gump, a movie about a mentally handicapped man. The third is a movie based on the Rwandan Genocide of the 90s.

I see, thank you. Yeah, I can understand why that would be controversial.

So Forrest Gump as an infinite runner, 911 as a flappy bird clone, and Hotel Rwanda as a tower defense? Clever, horrible and clever; just the way I like it.

So it's a shitty Subway Surfers rip-off, except offensive and insensitive? Is there a level that Hollywood execs won't stoop to? I didn't even think it was possible to have this little shame and self-awareness.

Hi! I see you're new around here. This is a planet we like to call Earth. If you look to your right, you'll see the human race. Please don't stare at them; they are fiercely territorial and will perceive it as a challenge. They'll throw poop at you.

I'm more confused by this game existing than anything.
Why did they think this would be a good idea? No, rather, that this would sell?

I imagine it will sell, because I've met plenty of people who would find the idea hilarious. The fact that it's off-colour will be what sells it.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Is this really a thing? 'Cause if so I can't facepalm hard enough.

 

[Lono Shrugged]

If there is a Vietnam level I am going to buy the shit out of this and give it a 5 star review...

 

[PunkRex]

I'm still waiting for them to release Schindler's "Herr Direktor" simulator, it's a factory sim where... you know what, I don't even feel like joking right now, I don't care. I'll leave it up to other peeps to determine whether it's offensive or to serious a film to make crappy little apps for as it's been a while since i've seen the film and I can't remember a lot of it.

The game looks crappy though.

Of course it would sell. Look around you. Controversy sells.

 

[SweetShark]

I will wait for the "Motherf*cking T-Rex", the Videogame thank you very much.

Easy: Because it is so controversial and no logical the Hollywood know it will sell.

Another Example:

Mary Poppin Versus the Hitler's Army

See? It is so easy.

Does it really, though?

Controversy can get you publicity, but you need to have some sort of draw in addition to that.
It's fairly different for example if the controversy is over sex-scenes, or for having pedophilia in it.

I guess if this game is cheap enough, a lot of people can buy it just for curiosity's sake?

My first thought wasn't 'oh how controversial', but 'well that's sort of random and not particularly topical'.

(At least Mary Poppin fighting Nazis sounds somewhat interesting. Didn't she have creepy superpowers? Also she's a cool lady, I'd play a game where she fights the Nazis, if it was at least average.)
