You know what Take 2 should do?

They should water the game down, re-submit it to the rating companies, get the appropriate rating, put the original AO content back on all of the final release discs, and blow the minds of all the parents and lawyers against them.

OH YEAH! (Y)

Ah well, I guess since I can't rip of a pair of testicles with a pair of pliers in a game, since I've been dying to try it, I may as well actually go do it. There, how's that for a change? Instead of playing violent games making us violent, the fact that people who don't even _play_ video games telling me what I can and can't play makes me violent. I'm 28, I pay taxes, do my part for society. I'm old enough to vote, shouldn't that mean that I'm entitled to make me own choices?

it should, in an ideal world. in this one, i'd hope there would be less interference when it comes to entertainment, especially virtual one. can't help but think the determination that MH2 is in appropriate ties in with a mentality very restrictive in its allowance for fun.

I agree. We should all go and really rip off someone's testicles with a pair of pliers in real life to protest this. That will teach them a lesson. Who's with me!?!?!?

Well just think about it. If there was a sudden surge in testicle rippings with pliers, they would be forced to release the game in hopes that it would satisfy people's urges. I mean, I'm sure there would be at least a 50% reduction in real life testicle rippings. So really this game is a public service.

Hollywood and the gaming industry release heaps of overly violent trash all the time, so I can't imagine what the content of this game must be like. Seems like this company really likes to push out crap that appeals to the worst in all of us. Maybe this time they've gone too far and have made a costly mistake.

You want to teach children to not be aggressors then that's the duty of the parent. There has to be a system in which adults can buy such media. I'm sure this will change but seriously I think Sony and Nintendo payed too close attention to their rep. They weren't fair enough to Take-2 at all.

Some parents these days hardly care for their children by means of teaching them morality, respect, and patients. Parents are too dependent on the world to teach their children when they should take part in guiding them in necessary phases.

On a side note: Adult Games with allot of nudity wouldn't be such a bad idea with a bad ass story line :yes:

windam is right, of course. anything can be viewed and enjoyed by the right people and we can't give in to this culture of fear and moral panic as showcased by discrimination against certain types of works. also encouraging a nanny state where everyone BUT the parents take care of children will work against us, big time.

      If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
