I'm American and honestly nothing about the end of the game bothers me. The reason for killing them makes sense within the story so I couldn't care less what nation they are from.Chipperz said:
OP: Fox News and others like it continue to make me embarrassed to be a conservative.
Actually, Fox and Friends isn't news. Fox itself stated that it's news programming was only during a certain time segment, and everything else was opinion based entertainment. This is why I watch the Daily Show.
Don't want to ruin anything for anyone, so spoiler alert!Chipperz said:
If you haven't noticed already, most Americans (no matter where they fall in the political spectrum) have a strong distrust of government, so the Shepherd thing was no surprise to me and I'm sure to no other American. We also love the underdog, the freedom fighter fighting 1 vs 1000 against all odds for the truth. Not a hard sell.
Meanwhile IW laughs all the way to the bank, as none of the people upset by violent games were going to be playing this anyway, and the controversy generates interest.
i don't watch FOX news after I watched one of their male news anchors hit on one of their female anchors and even though she rebuffed him, he wouldn't let up. I wanted to see the news. If I wanted to see guys fail at picking up women, I would head over to my local bars and clubs.
It's fox news, the least credible source of anything ever. Anyone who still takes Fox seriously is either mentally challenged or doing it wrong.
That said, par to the course really... It's like that one time in Japan when a heavily disturbed guy killed, raped and cannibalized 4 children, and since he happened to like anime, all anime fans instantly became dangerous murdering perverts. Because why not really. Things like credibility, research, impartiality... they're bad, they get in the way of ratings!

2 things:
1. I don't believe video-games makes kids violent, i think naturally violent kids enjoy violent video-games.
2. As said in the article, I'm sick of hypocritical bullshit about how video-games are corrupting our kids, then it cuts to a commercial where it pretty much states "Buy our pills, women will be shaking to ride on your newly enhanced penis which we guarantee will grow up to 20 inches or more". It's absolute non-sensible bullshit that needs, not has, but NEEDS to stop.

You are a moron. As someone who watches/reads/listens to FOX, CNN, MSNBC, WSJ etc. The only news outlet that is even remotely unbiased and credible is FOX. Are they 100% unbiased? Of course not, but there is no comparison between them and an organization like MSNBC. You are the type of dumbass who probably gets their news from a hack like John Stewart.
Beyond the idiocy of your statement. They had a fluff piece about an extremely violent video game that is not intended for children. Nothing they stated about the game was even slightly off base. Parents should be aware of the situations depicted in the game. It is very graphic in its depiction of death and violence. The fact of the matter is that there is a VERY graphic section of the game involving a massacre. No one should take that lightly, that was not the developers intent. To deride FOX because they ask the question, "is it too far" is simply ridiculous.
I bought the game on Tuesday at midnight. I stood in line with hundreds of people. I saw a whole hell of a lot of clueless parents standing around with 11 and 12 year old kids salivating at the prospects of playing the game.
To say that any criticism/concern of the things depicted in the game are unfounded attacks on a harmless medium is laughable.

I usually like to watch Fox News, or at least Glenn Beck. But *that* show has always been shit, and loves to jump at anything.
No Youtube footage yet of this spectacle? Dammit, my formula for how long it takes a video clip to get to Youtube must be off then.
[HEADING=2]T = (K*N)/[C/(P*L)][/HEADING]
T=Amount of time that a video takes to appear on Youtube, in 1/10's of a day
K=Number of kittens/cats in video+1
N=Number of copies of the video originally available
C=Controversy rating of video (scale is 1-10)
P=Potential popularity of video (scaled 1-10)
L=Lulz that the video gives the veiwer (scaled 1-10)

"Did someone register to this site that actually thinks Fox News IS a reliable source of SLIGHT bias? Welcome to the escapist dude. You're in for a learning experience about Fox news."
I seriously doubt there is anything to be learned from the people on this site about anything of importance. Regardless of a persons social and political views, no rational human being who has actually watched and compared the major news outlets could in good conscience say that FOX news is more biased than their liberal slanted counterparts.
They are the highest rated and most trusted news outlet, so regardless of the baseless rantings on these boards they must be doing something right.

this is just like when mass effect was coming out and fox claimed it had a HARDCORE SEX SCENE when it actually contains no nudity at all
