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

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

>dark-skinned character revealed
>Sup Forums shits the bed
They're still going.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

>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

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

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

>controversial
>posts literal edgelord teen tier scene

> mfw I read people saying they don't want to use the lie mechanic in DRV3 because they don't want to lie

This is the hell we created.

>he says that because they are Russian, posing as non-Russian terrorists, so don't use Russian to blow your false flag cover...
Wait. People didn't get this? Jesus christ, these people dumber than the people that didn't get the [glass him] prompt.

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.

>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?

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

Hatred

Among actual gamers or the media?

that's in case of linear games
if game gives you choices you play the way what makes you believe the story the most

...

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.

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

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.

Tomb raider's rape
Hitman's Nun-killah!

>people

Normies aren't people.

it wasn't in the games though, it's what media blew up
there is a huge difference.

>Using black/female/gay protagonists is the controversy today.
That doesn't create any controversy in mainstream, it's including white heterosexual males that drowns the developers in death threats.

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.

I am Australian and that level was fully intact for me

>tfw i bought Hitman Absolutrash just for that nun mission

>and in Germany you weren't allowed to shoot.
What kind of bloody logic is that?

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

Looks like young Angelina Jolie.

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.

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.

MY NAME IS NOT IMPORTANT

You got that wrong buddy. Aspies aren't people.

And even on Sup Forums we're not safe because legitimate roleplayers get lumped in with ERP faggots.
Genuine roleplaying is dead.

You had a few NPCs with you who did the shooting.

tomsguide.com/us/modern-warfare-censored-no-russian,news-5300.html

Yup, I was wrong about Australia.

I hate his face

did you like it? it was one of the better levels

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.

it's kinda scary if you think about, execution just fell down the drain in cod games

Why didn't he just shoot the bad guys?

>one of my friends actually clicked yes when it asked if he wanted to skip the CONTROVERSIAL SCENE

What the fuck happened there? How do you go from nuking a city to PLAYING AS A FUCKING TERRORIST to 'some random civilian you don't know got killed by gas'.

It wasn't so bad. I've always treated CoD single player campaigns as pretty well directed interactive action movies. Never touched multiplayer though.

you bet your ass it did justification for my purchase!
garroting sexy latex clad nuns...pheww

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

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!"

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.

This
I dont fucking get that mission, he could have just waited behind them and shot them in the back of their heads.
What the fuck.
i still liked shooting at crowds of people though

> Sup Forums
you mean reddit.com/r/Sup Forums ?

>Russians
>People
Pick one

i don't believe a single word you said you piece of shit

they always say CoD campaigns are just linear corridor shooters with nothing in between but i beg to differ. I think some of them had really memorable plot and characters
my fav are the BO series, MW1 and MW2 and then AW

They don't have to even try anymore
Just make all your characters white and straight and you've already got a controversy

dark skin is creepy

he has the terrorists in front of him ready for a massacre and he doesnt shoot them?
sounds really dumb

I did both just to see if anything changed in result

Ukrainian?

Infinite Warfare*
AW was pretty stupid with jon snow

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"

Just imagine if Deus Ex came out after 9/11, that would've been some shit storm.

Try making a game with a black woman and show it on Sup Forums

fuck i meant kevin spacey

same thing

people don't care about those. they only get triggered if it's a new entry in established franchise.

I dunno mang, AW was probably my favorite this gen CoD

To be fair, when it comes to vidya taboo. Killing a child is the last frontier, outside of raping a child. It's just compared to the last time you got your hands bloody, this time you were just a witness.

True, this poor astronaut outside ISS getting rekt in MW2 and Ghost being burned alive always give me the feels. Also this moment when you crawl out of the helicopter after the nuke goes off in MW1. Man, those games are full of kino shit. Gotta replay them some day.

space ship cod was better
story was retarded but visuals man, it made me lust for solar system RPG without aliens eve more

That weeaboo game with the huge titty wizard

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

>tfw still got MW2 on an external hdd just in case i want to replay this mission whenever I feel bad and need to blow off some steam
>luckely it doesnt require an install or anything

you wish, the pictures floating around include every minor side character

really? AW plot is just so dull with that Atlas or whatsoever corporation declaring war on the rest of the world, takes revenge on everyone else just because he's sick of it

just play postal, shoot civilians whenever you want to

...

manhunt was a good game trying to be controversial but the media didn't give it nearly as much shit as they gave gta 3

how about gta

The only way to create controversy now is including white heterosexual males in your game.

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.

killing children will get the game banned all around the world

the closest thing you can get is some mutant/alien/undead "baby", i.e. unbaptized babies in Dante's Inferno, which were more like litle goblins than actual kids

less carnage features, as weird as it sounds

>white paddles on top of a black background
>whites on top of blacks
>this level of casual racism

story wasn't fantastic, bet even with jetpacks it felt like classic CoD which I liked

Far Cry 5

Remember me?

I dunno, you can still buy Fallout 2, and that's far from the only example.

only in USA => nobody cares, europe likes killing american cultists
game will be very popular in russia and china I bet, heck I'll buy it

yea that part where they got betrayed and that... melancholic score literally sank my heart. I don't think ive come across any game that gave me that feels anymore

it's weird because nu-Sup Forums is now pretty much on his side

Kotaku and other garbage sites are not "mainstream media". Mainstream media refers to actual major news outlets like CNN and BBC.

not a single mention of hot coffee

no, he was right. the evidence is all these little faggots that infest Sup Forums these days, animals such as yourself

They love leftist anti-white male shit
