I'm pretty new to the Vgchartz community (Nintendo fanboy here<<<) but there seems to be a lot of incredibly inappropriate pictures displayed on people's profile images or in their signiture section. I like to discuss things about videogames and not have to worry about seeing porn.

1. You're probaby a troll, as no one with any sense of logic or reasoning is going to believe that anyone who is interested in a GTA game is overly sensitive about seeing scantily clad women.

2. There is no porn in the OP's sig or av. If you think women in bikinis qualifies as porn you should probably avoid public pools and beaches

3. You are free to leave at any time. No one is holding you at gun point forcing you to browse VGChartz. 

4. People like you, providing you're serious and not trolling, are so flagrantly annoying and obnoxious that the mere thought of you makes my skin crawl. People don't need to be lectured about what you personally find to be inappropriate. People don't need to be told by you how to customize their online profiles. You don't know what's better for the rest of us, and your asumption that you do is sickening. 

5. You really need to learn not to over-share. This is a video game forum. We don't care, and we don't want to know if you're a virgin waiting for marriage.

6. Have a nice day.


1. I'm not interested in playing GTA 5 or any other GTA. I was simply stunned by how much the game cost and I wanted to see what everyone's thoughts were. Am I only allowed to click links to games I want to play?

2. I'm supposed to adjust my definition of porn based on socities current definition? Sorry but I don't see the difference between someone wearing 10% clothing and someone wearing no clothing.

3. So anyone with original thought and a desire to discuss things in an appropriate manner should not be respected enough to the point where their comfort level is violated? I'm sure I could offend people by saying something inappropriate or showing an image of something offensive but I'm not going to out of respect and love for my fellow human beings and in accordance with my beliefs.

4. Wow... that's a lot of harsh statements. Not sure if your trying to get me to throw insults back at you, but I won't. I am a servant of Christ and I hope to be as loving as possible towards other people (even people who insult me, belittle me for my faith/beliefs/morals, or accuse me of false things). I'm not telling people to change their lifestyle (that is their own struggle if they are in sin). I'm asking people to show respect towards people who are just wanting to read and discuss things and not have to be subjected to things that are against their beliefs. I'm sure plenty of people who have wanted to read articles on vgchartz have turned away from discussion in favor of more appropriately based websites. Do people here really want to eliminate feedback altogether from people who are offended by nudity/offensive language? Do you want to limit the userbase here to a certain mold of gamers?

5. That was to point out one reason WHY I didn't want to see the pictures; least people think I was trolling instead of being serious.

6. Thank you, and may your day be good as well. 

With much love enabled to me by Christ's sacrifice and change of my life!

Really?!????  Number 4 for me is wow.  Stop surfing the internet.  There is some crazy stuff out there.  Also, I feel insulted.  You calling people like me people living in sin cause I'm not religous.  Isn't that just as bad as what you're bitching about.  I'd like to read forums or articles without hearing from people like you.

P.S. on number 3.  Being offended by women with little clothing isn't an "original" thought.

Damn, surely they will recover the investment in the first week, but still amazing.



They'll make their money back within the first hour of the games release.

I think this is officially the most expensive game to date. Previous to this one was Star Wars: The old republic with $200 million I believe.


Modern Warfare 2 was $40-50m production + $200m marketing and I don't think they have scaled back since then....

The most expensive videogame ever if we are including MMOs is WoW anyway. The ongoing advertising, servers and support costs are probably in the billions by now. I mean in 2012 they layed off 600 people because WoW lost a couple million subs, before the cuts they employed 4700 people most of which worked on WoW we are talking hundreds of millions a year.

@Dulfite: If sigs are annoying you, you can disable them. In Profile Settings (in the Home menu), go to preferences and mark the Hide sigs in forums.

 

OT: Ridiculously high budget if true. But yeah, they'll make that back in the first day/week.

1. Everyone is in sin without Christ. I'm not forcing you to believe me on this, nor am I attempting to insult you. I sin too (regretably) but I have accepted Christ and God is turning my heart away from sin more throughout my life. I seek to be disciplined in Christ. I am sorry that you have felt insulted by me but that is not what I desire to do.

2. I have posted a number of things on this forum that don't have to do with my faith. It simply came up in this case and that's why we are talking about it now. I don't try to shove my faith down people's throats, but I also don't hide away from expressing it when people question me on things or when it is the reason for something.

I suppose I shall have to do that. Thank you very much for letting me know how though! Much love!



This game will shatter every record

You know honestly I am surprised it's not more, GTA IV cost $100m without marketing.
