Hey everybody I just though you guys might want to check out this article on Bulletstorm posted on the Fox News website it is an unbelievably biased and factually incorrect article that made me want to buy the game. Check it out!
Yep, Faux News on top form as always. I have never read or watched anything remotely resembling news from that network.
I agree on Fox News being stupid, but I would have to agree with the article on the bloodiness and vulgarity of Bulletstorm. That stuff doesn't appeal to me, and I am disappointed when a game that looks great insists on forcing me to look at and listen to stuff I don't want. Don't get me wrong, I know that's what appeals to a lot of gamers. But all the blood and gore combined with constant swearing isn't my thing, and it makes me sad that I have to miss out on good games because of it.
I'd say wait till the game is out before making judgements like that. A fair number of games have options to reduce gore, and to filter profanities.
I understand that but it is the stuff about rape and 9 year olds that will "play" this game. Rape rates are down quite a bit and it is not the developer's fault that a little kid plays this game. It is the parent's fault.
Having "Fox news," "stupid" and "biased" in the same sentence is excessively redundant. Faux News is pretty much a guide on what you should think and do, demonstrated by thinking and doing the exact opposite of what they tell you.
Loooool. There's so much sh*t about this everywhere. It's not the developer's fault that they make games with tons of gore and violence. Like someone already said, it's the parents' fault. THEY should be the ones who choose what games their kids are allowed to play. Though some parents want the best they can get for their child... Which is why these parents should learn to say NO. No matter how hard their child is crying or begging them. Also, playing violent video games DOES NOT turn you into some psychopath. Unless you're some delusional/mentally retarded person. There are THOUSANDS of games like this already. Like F.E.A.R, GTA, Manhunt... Just to name a couple. There's not much anyone can do about violent video games. Banning violent games also doesn't stop people from being able to play them, it just slows them down. Fox News sure is late with this though. Like YEARS LATE. I didn't read the WHOLE article, mind. So I might be off or something at some point.
No, the local news is tolerable. Their lineup, a little less, but alright. Fx---pretty good. Fox news---- lowest common denominator of all media. Ever... Well, that's my opinion on it.
Barely even that. Anyone who goes out and commits acts of violence because they played a violent video game had something seriously wrong with them to begin with. The video game might have finally sent the nut over the edge, and may even have inspired the acts the person carried out, but if it wasn't the video game it would have been something else, and inspiration is nothing without the will to carry it out. Anyone who has that will is unbalanced anyway. And in any event, video games are just the latest in a long list of specious bugbears. Before violent video games it was rock music. Before rock music, movies. Before movies, jazz, or dancing, or books, or whatever the scapegoat du jour was. People need to blame something when no other, more obvious target was handy, because the simple minded always default to the old "correlation = causation" fallacy. That makes "good" news -- and by good, I mean sensational, which sells papers, generates clicks, and meets deadlines. Need to fill column inches? FUD is always there for you. Just pick a juicy target -- violent video games, [foodstuff] will kill you, world-ending weather/meteor/geological upheaval that may possibly could happen sometime between now and the next five thousand years -- and watch the hoi polloi whip themselves into a nice bubbly froth. Unfortunately, irresponsible journalism is nothing new. Hell, newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst engaged in all sorts of yellow journalism as far back as the late 1800s. He'd routinely just make shit up out of whole cloth to sell papers or rally support for a political cause he favoured. Hell, he and rival Joseph Pulitzer (yes, that Pulitzer) had a who-can-out-bullshit-whom contest that goaded then-president Roosevelt into going to war against Spain in defense of Cuba. Of course, that sort of crap would sink a news organization these days, so they just get away with the other, pettier crap like this.
That's true, Epic seems pretty good about that. But there are occasions where it's not an option, and I wish that they had implemented it. I wasn't really interested in Bulletstorm in the first place; mostly was making a statement about games in general. Yeah, the article's points were way overblown. I agree. And the developers have every right to publish what they want in a game. Like I said before, I just wish more companies would put in the option to reduce blood and profanity.
I played the demo for Bulletstorm on xbox, and, although it is pretty fun, it does go above and beyond with the profanity, gore, and so on which turns me off from buying the full game when it comes out. It definitely isn't a game younger kids should play, especially those who are still vulnerable to such influences. But to adults? well, its just fun and games... usually.
yeah, its the only new source that is completely accurate. I mean none of the other news sources told me a congressman had an affair with a horse.....
I, for one, sure as shit am. Through thick and thin. Sucks he's out of MSNBC >.> Keith Olbermann was about the only news personaily I liked. Sure he got a little overly dramatic from time to time, but within reason. All other things aside, he was downright hilarious.
