Am I the only one who thinks this cuts closer to the truth than it should...?


Hot New Video Game Consists Solely Of Shooting People Point-Blank In The Face



Around the Network

Ok...The most important game of the year huh....blowing people's heads off huh...repeatedly...all I can say is....what the hell?



Hahaha awesome. Yeah, sadly close to the way video games really are today.



I want it.

Imagine the achievements...



                            

This game used to have a website and playable demo at www.closerangegame.com,

but the site doesn't seem to be up anymore...

XD I loved how they anticipated the common counter arguments. This kinda echoes the GOWIII head ripping thread.



Well, that does more or less sum up how all violent video games look to the uninitiated. And it's also pretty close to how it works out, too. Yes, they do put in quite a bit more depth than that, but when you get right down to it, a lot of games with shooting are just games about killing lots of people as violently as possible. Perhaps unsurprisingly, as I haven't seen many games prominently featuring guns that did NOT involve killing people.

Well... guns ARE used to kill people... don't think people use it to scratch their heads or anything.



The Onion's Pre-Emptive Counters:

Player Choice (Games like Oblivion, Fallout (?, I want to get it so badly) you don't HAVE to kill anybody).
Story Depth (ZOMG, FFVII is SO deep)



it should be on the wii, the console of light gun/onrails shooters
