What the Hell? Now there is actually a valid argument that video games encourage mindless and indiscriminate violence.
GTA was one thing, but this is a whole new level of grotesque.

ISIS inspired video game, it is how they roll...
Umm. Who in the f**k thought this was a good idea for a video game? Kind of glorifies random acts of violence. You know, kind of like the Aurora theatre shootings.
I was was pretty open to letting my kid play violent games. I mean, they're just games, right? But things like Call of Duty are war games and violence should be expected in war. Halo and similar games were very fictitious and the things you were killing didn't even look human. From what I can remember, the purpose of the GTA games wasn't to just run around killing people indiscriminately. (although, that's what most people did.)
This game offends me and since I find it offensive it must be banned.

The game itself doesn't bother me. What bothers me is that *WARNING-PUT ON YOUR TINFOIL NOW* it seems to me like a sort of agent provocateur/false flag deal.
1. Make a game that's sure to offend, enrage, scare, and disgust the populace.
2. Ensure the game features high capacity automatic assault ghost guns.
3. Wait for some lunatic to reference the game when he drowns his sister/stabs his mother/shoots his wife/does some other wacko shit.
4. Push for another firearms ban of your choosing.
This game is basically no different than GTA; the difference being the actual exposition that says you're going on a rampage verbatim. If you play GTA with someone and DON'T run people over and fight the cops, they'll complain. Just sayin'.
Guess I'm late to this thread.

Does bring up some thoughts on how far "do what you want" should go. I thought some of the throat slashings etc in COD:Black ops or one of those was kinda gory and I knew far too many 10 yr olds playing. But not quite all that worried.
This however is taking poor taste to the pretty extreme. Especially the dialogue alone.
Thought US still has x or nc17 or some equivalent for games. I can't imagine it wouldnt get that and if it does would mean no mainstream stores would probably carry it. In which case I'd be a little more relaxed that only adults would likely be buying it vs random dumb parent getting little timmy whatever he wants from the shelf of best buy.
DAMN!
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
