What has become of gaming (check out this video)

This is a trailer for the new 50 Cent game...I'm shocked at how absolutely horrible games are becoming.

Welcome to the wonderfull world of licenced IP based software!

 

Don't worry; it's probably so bad that will end in the bargain bin costing exactly 50 cents.

 

It's okay to "pimp" the ladies and shoot the thugs in this game.

What garbage.

 

Looks like "Black rapper kills Colonel Sanders" to me.

Summarises my worries about the videogame industry pretty much perfectly (link nicked from PA).

 

whats with killing all the white people..lol

 

Old white people to bat...that look like the colonel.

 

Products like this make me question why I still play video games.

 

Guess I don't have to worry about every playing this piece of derivitive shit.

"Dis whole city is mine's. I wonder how people forget that."

That bozo would fold like a card table if they put his ass in a cell with some real gangsters.

 

What the hell is the point of this game?

"That bozo would fold like a card table if they put his ass in a cell with some real gangsters."

You can not believe how fucking hard I just laughed at that comment.

 

they cant make something like GTA, so they make this to appeal to the suburban (white) kids that like lil john because they found out about him from chappelle show. There's also a snoop dogg game coming out sometime. Same shit...different wannabe "gangsta" rapper

 

What's sad is that I can imagine little wiggers everywhere rejoicing at the sight of this game. "Shit son! I can play as fiddy and kill old white people! stilll....my dream of being a complete and total idiot has come true at last!"

 

Ill be glad when the crash does come so we can get a fresh start

 

Words can't describe how much i hate games like this..but knowing the "casual gamer" this game will sell like crazy it has everything a no brainer gamer wants, rappers,ton and tons of sensless violence, badly spoken english etc...

 

This does look like one of the most evil titles ever to be produced. I just wonder why publishers choose to pick these titles up when their are truely special titles in NTSC-J format just waiting to be picked up and spread across the globe. Giftpia for example.

 

There's a current UK TV ad for I think it's Commandos or Mercenaries or something on Xbox. The ad consists of ingame footage of thing being blown up, with a commentator "Blow stuff up", "blow it up again", "blow it up some more" etc etc mindless jibberish.

Excellent, that shows gaming in a good light. Worst thing is, my gf's sister actually wants the game. Oh dear, the power of advertising strikes again.

Anyone else in the UK unfortunate to catch this advert?

 

Yeah, I saw it whilst I was back home at the weekend....

From the advert I didnt really see anything that interested me in the game unless I was really angry and just wanted to blow stuff up.....other than that, it looked mediocre.

And this 50cent game....wow. Just wow. It just amazes me that games liek this can actually be created.....and has a good chance of selling well to the masses.

 

This is the exact reason I dont buy videogames anymore. Well only PC games. Just recently bought Uru, now thats a good game.

 

That's the same one being displayed in America. It would be for Mercenaries. I've heard the game "isn't too bad", but I tend to stray away from massively advertised games.

edit: It's still early, so grammar mistakes are going to run rampant in my posts .
