Manhunt 2 was fun.
[QUOTE=Nautsabes;27961872]Manhunt 2 was fun.[/QUOTE] Except that it was censored out the ass with fucking filters that obscured 98% of the screen during a kill.
I think it was because Steinberg used big words that fox news' viewers couldn't possibly understand...
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;27962106]Except that it was censored out the ass with fucking filters that obscured 98% of the screen during a kill.[/QUOTE] Not in the AO version. Probably the one game that was so gruesome I actually felt a bit disgusted by it. [editline]9th February 2011[/editline] Also sensational reporting by Fox as always. Interview both sides and then completely ignore the one that goes against their opinions.
Fox news isn't even News.
[QUOTE=Nexus_Elite;27962894]Fox news isn't even News.[/QUOTE] Should be renamed to Fox Boxes.
[quote]Fox: Is the only answer found in better parenting (telling your own kids they can’t play the game) and ratings boards? Or is there something else that should be done?[/quote] Is it just me, or does he seem to beat around the bush on this question? He never really answers the main question with a definitive yes or no answer, he just says " The answer, as ever, lies in education:" and then goes off on how parents should "steer" their kids towards "more appropriate" titles. What? I agree that parents should know what their kids play, but they need to make decisions, not just nudge. A parent should decide what their kids may play, then stick to it. It is helpful that games are marked, but games should be allowed to be as gory and explicit as they want. If there is a market(mature adults) I don't think anyone has a right to stunt devs creativity and their right to sell their games(It's not as if these games are any worse than many movies). I think his answer should include a definitive "yes" or "no" (as his previous answer did) cause' we hear ignint Fox News watcherrs aint much for readin all them fancy wurds :derp: (That's a poor attempt at sarcasm, because I want to jump on the bandwagon and make fun of Fox News watchers, like everyone else here whom I assume do not watch any Fox News, and so have very little right to generalize the validity of all of Fox's reporting based upon one article that they can pick apart and act as if they know more than the largest news network viewer ship in the nation.) tl;dr make fun of me, I watch Fox

[QUOTE=Nautsabes;27961872]Manhunt 2 was fun.[/QUOTE] I enjoyed 1 as a kid because of the "OMG HEADSPLOSION SO COOL" factor. In reality, they're kind of mediocre stealthwise, and the stealth kill mechanic gets boring. I found it kind of hard to play either game
