How come games don't try and be controversial any more?

>>388713151
Really? Have you looked outside in the past few years?

>>388713151
there are really people who doesn't shoot because they think it was bad.
kek

>dark-skinned character revealed
>/v/ shits the bed
They're still going.

>>388713151
Cause they don't even have to try and be controversial for someone to find something controversial about the game.

>>388713151
Why do they need to be? Controversy invites politics. Why would you want to taint them like that?

>>388713151
I remember when there was a lot of shit being thrown around in the media about that mission. Nowadays though all you need to do is have a white male as the protagonist or killable women to get the ire of the media.

>>388713151
the most offensive aspect of this is people getting the fucking elevator scene wrong in the meme being propagated

where he says "remember no russian"

he says that because they are Russian, posing as non-Russian terrorists, so don't use Russian to blow your false flag cover...

I don't think I've ever in my life seen an edit of this old as fuck meme where someone got the context right

>>388713337
When was the last time any mainstream media outlet has complained about that?

It seems more like when a black person gets a main role, people flip their shit.

>>388713217
Yeah there are people who refused to shoot, shot into the air or tried shooting the shooters, it's so sad

>>388713217
>there are really people who doesn't shoot because they think it was bad.

To be fair, a mole mowing down a bunch of people over the terrorists is pretty stupid

>>388713217
yeah, there are people that didn't want to break immersion and behaved like they would in real life

>>388713447
All the fucking time you faggot, it's only on 4chan people will complain about the reverse because people here are contrarian to whatever is popular in mainstream society.

Wait. People didn't get this? Jesus christ, these people dumber than the people that didn't get the [glass him] prompt.

>>388713597
this also remind me of alpha protocol
remember how villain makes you chose between your GF and a bunch of nobodies? I chose GF, and she dumped me because i've been heartless, haha. I try to make choices that I would in real life. Games more believable and immersive that way.

>>388713597
>didn't want to break immersion
>behaved like they would in real life

Nigga, immersion means you getting in the shoes of the character, not try to put the character in your shoes, unless you do shootings in airports more frequently than you play MW2

What's the most recent controversial vidya?

>>388713715
Same, in games like that I always act like I would in real life. Obviously I wouldn't be shooting up a bunch of people in an airport but in the context of the story and the scene you should go along with it

>>388713786
Hatred

>>388713786
Among actual gamers or the media?

>>388713783
that's in case of linear games

They are, but the world has changed. Killing civilians and violence in general doesn't shock anyone. Using black/female/gay protagonists is the controversy today.

>>388713852
I must add, I didn't play CoD since 4, so I don't really know the context, sorry.

>>388713447
Basically any game featuring white man as protagonist will get blasted by the mainstream media and their SJW "journalists". They will do anything to ensure their anti-white agenda's continuation.

That doesn't create any controversy in mainstream, it's including white heterosexual males that drowns the developers in death threats.

>>388713906
In Modern Warfare 2 in one of first missions you massacre civilians on a Russian airport to stir shit up and start World War 3 basically. This mission was completely removed in Straya version and in Germany you weren't allowed to shoot.

>>388713985
I am Australian and that level was fully intact for me

Will they keep it in the game if they make a remaster?

>>388713985
there was also an option to disable "graphic content", no one used it.

that pricks plot armor is the controvosy here. will not die til end of mw3 even at obvious ambushes, nope cutscene.

>>388713985
oh, they did some jumps between characters right? it makes perfect sense to shoot civilians if you want to start a war, what's controversial about the game if you jump into skin of a guy that trying to stop the war next minute?
Here is a huge misunderstanding of what games are in general, I think, more than the game being controversial or something.

MW3's controversial scene was so fucking lackluster compared to this. When I heard they were doing it again, I was super excited to see what was gunna happen, but it was just you playing as a child getting chemical bombed in Paris. Wow, such a shocker.

Normal people don't find black people in video games controversial. You are on 4chan. You aren't normal.

>>388714157
I figured that, but I meant the retarded mentality of:
"Well, I'M not the one shooting them in the head. It's not as bad!"

>>388713151
Genuine controversy is pretty rare these days, mostly because controversy is often manufactured for marketing purposes. Given the corporate environment which video games exist in, it's even more rare that the decisions of one great artist, writer, or composer will make it through the machine untainted.

We do have a lot of 'soft' controversy still, but those typically belong in the category of 'manufactured' controversy.

well for example people will edit him saying "remember no russian" to "remember no videogames" like in reference to I don't fucking know, the ps3 or something

but with the context of the original thing it would be suggesting the PS3 has games but is pretending not to when the whole thing was "PS3 HAS NO GAMES"

The joke is that, despite this being /v/, it was and is common for people to talk about things besides video games. "Don't talk [in Russian] / [about video games]" works here.

>>388713269
This. Between hack writers churning out clickbait articles, and legions of easily triggered internet dwellers across the spectrum (political and otherwise) looking for reasons to get riled up, it's impossible NOT to be controversial with anything more complex than Pong.

And I'm sure some fucktard would find a way to make THAT controversial too.

I don't think that is correct. Its "remember, no rushing". This is proven by the fact that they force you to walk for the first part of the level.

mw2 was fucking terrible. the first day it came out my friend and I figured out how to get on separate teams and we'd set down the spawn changing thing and I'd let him kill me over and over in a corner and he'd get a nuke in like 2 minutes every match. It was fucking hilarious how the people who made the pile of shit left in such an oversight. And then there were a bunch of other retarded things like that like people suiciding with the javelin or whatever and other absolutely retarded things. Every cod sucks cock.

>>388714330
>>388714457
greater picture

also they were not that stupid to let him do that considering they knew he was an undercover cop (that's why they shoot him at the end of the mission)

>>388713151
I just miss controversial themes that are universal to the human condition. All the shit we play nowadays is divisional controversy, it's intention is to generate hostility or polarization.

This fucking fad of being moral and ethical in games is driving me fucking nuts.
I'm taking game dev classes and every single time we move from programming and 3d to "muh morality and muh sexism muh diversity" i wish for entropy.
God i can't wait to finish this classes and get the fuck away from this brainwashing madness.

didn't worked on the long run, same goes for the diversity pr. You might seen very soon a new approach in this area. Diversity PR stunt get dropped. Ass Origins in the last IP using the muh-nazi bandwagon for diverrsity pr stunt. It already failed hard. Maybe we switch back to the sex sells meme.

mark my words. not shitting you.

Don't fucking remind me, I was so pissed. If you shot one civilian it aborted the mission and you had to start over again.

Wouldn't this be the kind of shit a double agent would try to prevent?

I think the idea was to have the American agent get close to Makarov and his team to discover their connections and ensure that when they went down, their network would go with them, or at least that's what the American would've been told to get him to go along with everything. Not sure if that's a particularly good or convincing plan but there you have it

Like clockwork.

I chuckled seeing this, good times. Had a little controversy at launch but in 2k17 there is no way a AAA publisher has the balls to do something this cool again.
