Daily Mail Voices Concern Over "Ultra-Violent" Modern Warfare 3

[higgs20]

Stop. Picking. British. Newspapers. Seriously, the Escapist is always commenting on the stuff the British press says. Our press is ultimately stupid, you're making us all look bad!

That being said, I did intially think much of the same thing when I watched the trailer. It just seemed a little strange that they're specifically target the rail system and the big red London buses considering the attacks.

it's true 80% of the British newspapers in circulation are largely composed of tits, crossword puzzles, more tits, the latest story on who Wayne Roony is shagging and adverts for butlin's.

I'm sure the developers and publisher are laughing their way to the bank over this. Angry reactions and upset people only serve as free publicity and very rarely impact the game in any way. Good job!

The Daily Mail are our equivilant of Fox News. Ignore them, and they'll get bored and toddle off to find something else to do.

you know what
im sick of games being judged for being games
seriousy
the mass media needs to ralise that games are not going to cause a school shooting
never has
never will
does it get blamed anyways
you bet



plus call of duty is dubiously unrealitic
but then again i played arma 2 and that wasn't that fun untill i started making crazy senarios

When MW3 outsells Black Ops, anyone reckon the Daily Mail do a report on why so many people WANT this kind of entertainment?.....no, me neither.

 

[Hachura]

Excuse the choice of words here, but to hell with these politically correct cunts.

"OH NOES IN MW2 YOU CAN KILL CIVVIES IN AN AIRPORT! IN MEDAL OF HONOR YOU CAN PLAY AS TELLYBAN! MW3 IS ULTRAVIOLENT!!!11one"

Don't like whe contents of these games? DON'T PLAY THEM! Halt your futile attempts at getting them banned, I hope you realise that any publicity you draw to these games will only increase the attention they gain and generate more interest.

If you really wanna do something good for everyone, crusade for a righteous cause, get the fuck on public radio and ***** about rising petrol costs. Maybe if you whine about that long enough you'll be heard.

As someone who narrowly missed the bombings along with his family, let me say this.

Daily mail: Deal with it.

Seriously, that was nowhere close to what happened in the tunnels anyway, you complete tools

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Jeez! Now theyre censoring games

 

[VaughanyT]

find the Russel Howard Daily Mail song somwhere in which he lists everything the Daily Mail has claimed can cause cancer.Watch it and realise what sane Brits have to put up with

 

[MaxwellEdison]

Gah, should I stick to my principles and be mad at the paper, or let MW3 take the heat? I don't know who to hate on anymore!

 

[The Random One]

Just once I wish I could defend games in a situation like this by saying that I'm sure the matter will deal with its matter sensibly, rather than having to make a huge aside that it's not as bad as it seems even though it's being treated as seriously as Team Fortress 2.

That said, people actually do enjoy it when games take place on their backyard, so go figure.

 

[MinionStarwind]

Yawn. Old News before it was actually news.

 

[Poisoned Al]

FFS, stop running articles from the Daily fucking Mail. They are NOT British option. They are the equivalent of Fox News over here. The option of MW3's "plot" from my Briton's is: "LOL! Americans."

 

[Saelune]

This newspaper should be banned. Its giving me bad memories of other people saying stupid things.

 

[Frotality]

*sigh*

yet again, CoD goes for shock value and gets free publicity. nothing new.

 

[2ndblackjedi]

But the trailer wasn't showing England, it was showing Threengland.

(I hope no one else made this joke already...because it's terrible)

Now you know how we Americans feel when the world judges us by the 1/4 of our population that's retarded.

 

[Tdc2182]

You know that whole thing with "the inception song works over any trailer"?

Surprisingly it doesn't really fit in here. I'm gonna mess with it a few more times.

Oh yeah, quitchobitching DailyNews.

Edit: Neato. The London Metro was flooded, that was a pretty cool touch.

 

[Racecarlock]

Oh dear poppers, old boy! I positively did not see this coming! (Ye olde sarcasm sphere self test completed)

Sadly, EVERYONE's press is stupid. Sadly, yours is the best... I mean over here in Oz, two of the three big networks (creatively titled Seven and Nine) are actively trying their ABSOLUTE HARDEST to be an Australian version of America's Fox network. Ugh...
