soniqstylz Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 http://www.gamepolitics.com/2009/10/22/nan...rno-achievement The International Nanny Association (INA) isn?t feeling overly matronly about an achievement said to be in the upcoming Electronic Arts game Dante?s Inferno.According to UGO, the ?Bad Nanny? achievement is designed to reward players who slaughter ?a yet undetermined number of unbaptized infants,? leading INA to say that the game component was ?created out of poor taste and bad judgment.? The grINA is opposed to video games that promote and encourage players to "kill" babies, even in fantasy play. It is our opinion that this type of play may promote violence towards children. The name of the trophy or achievement, "Bad Nanny," is offensive to our association in that we strive to promote and educate the public regarding the selfless work nannies do to support families by providing quality in-home child care." care." INA urged its members to email the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) with concerns and complaints. The ESRB responded, noting that the game has not yet been rated, ?it should be understood that our job is not to censor potentially tasteless or objectionable content nor dictate to publishers what type of content they may include in their games. ESRB?s role is to objectively evaluate a game?s content and assign age and content ratings that will be helpful in allowing consumers to make informed choices. informed choices.

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted October 24, 2009 Veteran Share Posted October 24, 2009 I think they definitely have a point, we all know video games influence us in the real world. I am a car jacking dual gun wielding space marine hedgehog plumber who seeks adventure in foreign lands and outer space who enjoys blowing things up, playing with pegs, head-shots, coin collecting, traversing dangerous platforms and solving environmental based puzzles and the occasional crossword puzzle. I feel my only real negative personality trait is I refuse to go through any doors that do not require a key-card that I have to find in the immediate vicinity first, so getting around town does become a bit of a chore and cumbersome.

Wow, you're kinda violent. I just like fitting different-shaped bricks together. The "L" ones can be irritating though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P Global Moderator Posted October 25, 2009 Global Moderator Share Posted October 25, 2009 You can understand though how non-gamers can look at it and be like "wtf, babies?" And srsly, why make it an achievement to kill babies anyways? Sure it doesn't personally make players wanna go out and kill real babies, but come on, there are good game ideas and then just bizarre ones.
