GTA Gets Hit In The Gooleys

[Dark0ne]

Lordy, they really won't leave it out will they?

 

In short, San Andreas shipped with some naughty XXX content that can't be unlocked without a third-party (i.e. not made by Rockstar) piece of software. Hillary Clinton and all the "Why are our kids so screwed up...must be those damn video games they play" jackasses jumped on the "take it off the shelves, it's advertised as Mature (17+) and it should be Adult Only (18+)!!!111oneoneone" bandwagon.

 

ESRB have now forced the change and production of the game has stopped until they can add security that will stop the content from being accessible in new versions.

 

How damn pointless.

 

To be honest Hillary Clinton should spend more time with her husband so he doesn't go and sleep with other women (and you wonder why the kids are screwed up?) and less on these pathetic scapegoat campaigns.

 

Thoughts?

Oh noes. I remember playing games in the 90s on my computer that were so violent, they would put GTA to shame.

 

Elvira 2 had photo realistic graphics and depicted sex, mutilations, devil worship and general gore/horror. (Getting your throat bitten out by a zombie with a mouth full of writhing maggots.) It was a great game.

 

Not to mention Larry 3, which just had 2d penises and breasts everywhere.

 

However, I did not suddenly snap one day and decide that it was time to massacre my classmates or go on a Sierra inspired sex spree.

 

In short, kids who are nuts and play games have something wrong with them in the first place. If you blur the lines between reality and some piece of software made by a bunch of nerds, you should be locked up.

 

Hillary is just bitter because her hubby likes fatties.

Hillary Clinton is a master of American politics. She hopes to win the 2008 presidential election as a moderate. She needs to move from the left and towards the middle to gain support. This is the same strategy that got Bill Clinton elected. This is a safe issue that will get both Democratic and Republican support. I think she is a phony and this is a cynical political move. She doesn't need to convince me to win though.

Do demeaning messages about women in video games influence the way young men think? Hmmm.

Hillary Clinton has ZERO chance of being elected. End of discussion. The hatred republicans have for her is unbelievable. More than any other candidate, Hillary for president will have 100% voter turnout against her. They HATE her, and consider her just slightly less evil than satan himself.

 

And it's not entirely without good reason, she's a far extreme liberal. No amount of campaigning is going to change this fact. Any disguise she attempts to put up is going to be torn apart by the republicans. And if anything, she'll drive all the moderates to the republican side.

It's complete crap what they are doing. Not just politicians getting pissed off about the sex scene, but I've also seen some talking about how bad "cop killing" is in the game. Lets take the Mortal Kombat series as an example (just so you know I love MK, im just using it as an example). You can rip peoples spines out, smash people into meatgrinders and do just about every violent, over the top thing you can think of. In short words, its a gorefest. Does this game have an Adults only Rating? I think not. Then comes GTA: San Andreas. Sure you can kill people, but can you rip their spines out? No, you cant. But you kill cops so that makes it worse.

 

We all know the biggest reason they are making the game Adults only is because of the sex scene. As Dark0ne mentioned, you cant even see it if you dont hack into the game. Since most people dont have an avid knowlege of computers, they wont even be able to see it. There are other games out there where you have sex. But do they crack down on those games? Nope. The only reason they are doing this to GTA and not any other games is because of the popularity of the it.
