[citation][nom]nikolovtwo[/nom]And how you, gamers will be feel, if in this scene is need to killing americans (incl. childs and they moms) instead russians??[/citation]
There are games that Americans kill Americans...plus you trying to create sentimentalism for including children and "they" moms doesn't matter in my book...I'd still shoot them...it's a game...I can be as violent as the game allows me to be...I'll kill anything
 
[citation][nom]CypherX[/nom]So if a game put a player in a position to rape a little girl, it's okay "because it's just a game?" Also, GTA4 gives the player the option to run civilians down, but it's not the central significance of the game. The Russian mission, uncensored, puts the player in a position to be a cold blooded, sadistic murderer. There comes a time when games go too far.[/citation]
So then people should not buy or play the game. People have a choice. I'm responsible enough to handle fantasy violence and don't need whiny ass control-freaks to tell me I can't...(
 
Knew this controversial level. Played it as much as I can, because, it's a game.

Also, on side note: Please experience the Japanese culture and at least live there for a few years before you comment. I was born there, I grew up there, I know what I'm talking about.
 
I tell you folks, I was as pumped up when I got to the 'No Russian' as anyone else playing the game. I came out of the elevator wondering what the hell the big deal was. I popped off a cpl of indiscriminate clips of ammo. Yes, it is just a game. Yes, I can differentiate reality from fiction, and YES, this level bothered me. After realizing what exactly was going on, I limited my shooting to security personel who were going to kill me, the civilians I left alone. I have yet to play through a second time, although I am going to start that up soon :). If Japan & Germany want the game vanilla'd up a bit, I can't say that I have an issue with it. The Russian objected to the level, and now that I have played through it, I can understand why. On a deep emotional level, I found the level against everything I hold to as a human. Did I enjoy the visceral reaction that it caused? Yes, I am sorry to say that I did. Do I applaud Infinity Ward, and the whole team for creating something that makes me feel like that? Most definetly! Should people use their given right to exercise their judgement, and not play/watch the level. YES! Do not puss out and say 'I didn't understand what they meant' Of course you did you f'ing idiot, and you clicked through to it anyway. Don't come crying to mama when it upsets you. Oh, and the first minor who kills someone and blames the game for it? I suggest we take their parents out and heinously execute them for their f'ing stupidity in letting their child play this game.
 
I think it looked so synthetic and artificial; so 'videogamey' that this entire argument is ridiculous. No reasonable person (without ulterior motive) would think anything more about it than that. Yeah, I'm talkin' to you Tipper Gore!
 
Further, lets this serve as a reminder to all us Americans of the true freedom of speech and expression we do possess. All they (the government) can do is label games 'M for Mature' and that's it. No requiring permanent changes to game content, no restriction of sale.

Unlike Germany and Japan, our constitution acknowledges the right of the individual to make their own decisions as they please to do so, free of restriction. Let's face it,I want to decide if I want to expose MYSELF to 'No Russian' or not...this is MY decision, not the government's. This is why America are still the envy of the world, no matter what the haters say.

I FUCKING LOVEEEE VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES, TITTIES, VAJAYJAY...AND BEER! Those are like...much needed necessities! So your analogy is more of a compliment :-D

Yes I shot all the cheeky buggers, in the same way that I enjoyed finding the highest possible building in Prototype and knee dropping some old lady from a mile up. Or using the strength ability to squish people against walls, it's just entertaining like that.
 
I shot everyone, men, women, wounded or not. It's a game, I am not going to run to the airport and shoot real people. It's about time psychos stopped blaming their problems on games/movies/TV/music.
 
Man, that level rocked! i'd really love to play a game where i'd be the complete bad guy! planning the downfall of humanity and all that crap... of course, such a game is a big no-no because it'll be a nice training camp for all the crazies who need that little push to pick up a machine gun and rake down innocents in a school somewhere, because it's all the game's fault for showing me how to do it.......
 
I "executed every motherf$%@ing last one of em!" what the hell else was there to do? maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if you didn't crawl along at a snails pace, I got bored...
 
[citation][nom]demonhorde665[/nom]I agree with you dude . yeah yeah blah blah bs bs, you ever surf porn before ? 70% of japanese web porn is faked up "rape" porn .. and these guys are gonna take the moral high road with video gaming .. just ridiculous LOL..[/citation]

off topic but it's not just for the Japanese men, rape is one of the biggest fantasies are one of the most popular for Japanese women.

I always thought Japan knew the difference between virtual and real so this decision to censor saddens me. But it's not the first game to have a reset level for civilian kills and it's not going to be the last.
