Nannies Get Angry Over Dante's Inferno Achievement

[WhiteTigerShiro]

I love the amount of controversy this game has produced.

Seriously, this has made my day.

Given how much of that controversy was actually publicity stunts launched by EA themselves... I'm less impressed. I'm just waiting for tomorrow or next week some time: "Dead Babies Publicity Stunt Unveiled".

This game gets less appealing every time I hear about it. Honestly EA? Killing babies? Mind you I'm not the squeamish type, but how is that a selling point to a game? Especially when there's already a dozen (or more) baby-killing-themed flash games out there if I really want to take my ire out on a few toddlers.

That's an awesome achievement, I want it haha. People are too sensitive though, who cares what the name is, they're not calling anyone specific a bad nanny, it's in context, if you kill a baby you're a bad nanny, if not a fired nanny.

 

[Napalm_Man]

Hmmm, I think they could justify it... if they were nazi babies maybe

I want to know what these Nannies were doing that led them to find an achievement on a far from release game about a trip through hell. Really, if it hadn't had "Bad Nanny" in the name they wouldn't have given it a second look.

I still can't get over the first part of the post.. Theres an International Nanny Association?!

 

[UsefulPlayer 1]

Wow the ESRB seems pretty cool right now in light of the L4D2 being denied classification in Australia.

I don't think I'm gonna like killing babies, small little buggers and I'm gonna guess they run fast. Normal giant demon spawn for me please.

 

[MikeOfThunder]

I have to agree... Killing babies is going a bit far!

Eating them on the other hand... mwaha... mwaha...MWHAHAHAHAAHHA!!!

Lol! Wet my pants a little...

 

[Tdc2182]

Uhh, I actually agree with the nannys on this one. Murdering children is crossing the line for a game

The Babies are already dead & Completly deformed. They look more Like a typical video game monster. If they weren't identified as "Unbaptized Babies" no one would realize or care.

Oh well thats not to bad I guess.

 

[delet]

I don't get it... the game is saying that killing babies would be something a 'bad nanny' does. Are they saying that good nannies kill babies?

 

[Mcface]

EA will never allow murdering of babies into their game

...as awesome as it would be.

 

[Internet Kraken]

someone will always take offence to anything that's another thinks is funny.

Oh well, I thought it was pretty clever

Explain to me how killing babies is funny or clever.

Here's a quote to change your mind:
"My name is Michael J. Caboose and I HATE BABIES!"
-Caboose (RvB)

That doesn't answer the question. That doesn't explain how having a guy stab babies with a giant sword is clever or funny.

They should add a 'Baby Genocider' Acheivment (Like Dead Rising, Left 4 Dead, etc.) just to antagonize them.

DISCLAIMER: Do not do that Visceral games, that was a joke. We don't need another reason for people to jump on the 'Gamez R BAD' bandwagon.

EDIT:How in Satan's glorious name do nannies find out about this before most gamers do? Do they have morality spies in our midst?

 

[GreyWolf257]

For one thing, the makers of the game probably have Dante Aligeri rolling in his grave over this. In his book, he said the unbaptised went to Purgatory, a place in Hell that wasn't necessarily bad (his opinion), just not neccessarily as good as Heaven. The game has turned unbaptised babies into freakin' demons. Its just slightly disgusting... But I might play the game anyway...

 

[Stormz]

Games do not encourage violence and I doubt anyone will go out and murder babies after playing the game. So they're just trying to blame games for violence again.

 

[epunk35]

Wonderful Nannies can take the game away from the kids they "care for" problem solved.

 

[Lekonua]

Hooray! More controversy! Keep it coming EA!

Go for the world record and piss off as many people as you can!

 

[Shapsters]

Gah! Curses! The International Nanny Association has struck again!!

*shakes fist*

You will pay yet you bastards!

 

[Dalisclock]

I'm sure all those Nannies were going to buy the game before this happened. Without them, this game is totally going to fail.
