Forums - Gaming - Ubisoft: 'Call of Juarez: The Cartel' announced. Controversy...

NotStan on 27 February 2011

Wouldn't this game count as educational, after all it would teach you how to start your own business. I can never understand when there is a controversy regarding the impact that videogames have upon those who play them. Only weak willed are the ones that are affected, and they are a very small majority and should just stick to collecting stamps.

Aren't cartels colombian though? :S



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

Hmm let's see:

- american boys killing russians/taliban/koreans = cool game

- somone killing mexicans = oh no controversy.

Sounds like politicall corectness bullshit and double standars for me.

This.

No no no no......you guys have it wrong, VERY WRONG.

Someone killing U.S Americans= BIGGEST CONTROVERSY OF ALL TIME! 


Yeah and imagine the shit storm that would follow if someone made a game where you not only shoots american soldiers but for realism some of them were black :D

*Cough* Homefront *cough*

*shake fist* Damn you commies, damn you to hell!

...

As a note, the game apparently contains graphic execution of American citizens; it's meant to be "moving" and "horrific" but loses major point for ridiculous backstory. I simply cannot suspend my disbelief long enough to give it a try to be honest... I mean how the heck does Korea with a population of 25 million somehow muster the power to conquer the pacific and then go on to field an army strong enough to not only invade but occupy a country 10 times its size with a population over 300 million??? *snarf!!*

I don't mind it selling elsewhere, though I don't really like the idea of it selling in Mexico. Many more kids and teens will find it cool to kill and join a cartel; thats reality and there is few regulations when it comes to buying video games in the United Mexican States.

Your assuming kids are idiots, they aren't.  I played San Andreas and  Mafia and didn't join a gang or the Mafia.  I played Duke Nukem and was never disrepctful to women.  I played Gears of War and never chain-sawed a guy.  I played Wolfenstein and never went around killing Nazis. I can keep on going. 

Your promoting censorship which is crap.  If you let the government censor then you let the government come one step closer to completely controlling you.     

I'm assuming that some kids are ignorant. Like that kid who kill her mom because she took his playstation

So we should censor everything because of a few bad apples,I assume that kid had some serious mental isssues to begin with.

Well both are, some Mexican cartels associate with the Colombian cartels to transport drugs to the U.S.

Well, does the game say they did it single-handedly or through help of allies?  It it was single-handedly, then yea I probably wouldn't believe it.  Well, unless they just launched some large nuclear assualt out of nowhere and destroyed a lot of the US.

North Korea conquered South Korea create to combine the Greater Korean Rupblic, then they went on to invade and occupy Japan follow by the the Asian pacific, this is not allied state, this is hostile occupation, while its feasible to draw army by force conscription, you will NEED manpower in these state just to maintain your authority. then they somehow shot a massive emp wave from satellite to de-power the USA before invading by sea. WTF man? Seriously? 25 Million strong nation somehow invade and occupies half the world while the UN dissolve and the US are too busy moaning about their economic woe. And where did China go??? How would they even field the neccessary logistic??? Were are they getting their fuel? What's driving their economy?

This is the problem with story that are rooted in realism, if they deviate from it too much, the suspension of disbelief is destroyed and you are left with a farce.
