Perfect Dark was rated M because you shot AMERICANS who are REAL PEOPLE.

But seriously, what the fuck is the big deal about this?  Don't you think that the parent lets the child out in public, or lets them watch tv?  Cuz unless they don't, there is no fucking way in hell that this is the kid's first encounter with Master Chief.  He's EVERY-FUCKING-WHERE.  And if the kid can't even SEE an advertisement for an M rated game, are we going to have to pull R rated movie ads off the TV?  Will game stores only be allowed to put up displays for games that are rated T or under?  Are we going to have to change the things we show in public to shield our children from the real world?  I think not.

And I've never seen a Halo toy/cup anything an BK.  Maybe I missed it.  I went in today and there was a bunch of football shit in the display case.

It's statements like these that make it hard for me to take overtly religious people seriously.  Spouting off about protecting the children from violent images in one sentence, but in the next sentence advocating torturing people who don't agree with you.  Fortunately the 1st amendment protects against both of your points.

I'm not overtly religious, I'm agnostic.
I just like to vocalize my hate. And Hate I have much of.

And this is different from ANY OTHER CORPORATION how?  You see ads for McDonalds everywhere you turn.  And Wal-Mart.  I can't really give any more good examples because I don't watch TV anymore.  And every other mainstream coproration that has the money to advertise like a motherfucker.  So you're saying that corporations aren't allowed to advertise anymore?  As much as I hate it, I have to say that they have the right to do it.  It's not the corporation's job to protect the child, it's the parent's.

Since when did a video game need to quench your thirst, balance your checking account, feed your fat fat belly, and clothe you all at the same time...?
They're just going off the deep end with this crap.

Ok, I am starting to agree with Weclock now. There is a good show on the Discovery channel called future weapons. Halo 3 has now infiltrated that show, 3 episodes starting on Monday night. Halo 3 is everywhere, in fact it's worse than pokemon right now. Halo 3 mountain dew, halo 3 discovery channel programs, halo 3 secret advertisements, halo 3 burger king toys, Halo is now taking up 1/3 of the word use in the United States.

Is the game really better than anything ever in existence? Well, they are acting like it is. Should they burn in hell, and be tortured? Uhh... no... just steal their money by pirating halo 3, or better yet, don't buy it at all. Over 100 million copies will probably be sold though, so yea... fuck halo 3 and Micro$oft. Remember folks, these are the people who bought out Rareware, and made a horrible piece of shit of Perfect Dark on their Xbox 360, making sure they can never make a good game ever again.

Its called marketing dude, and with much of the 360s future being bet on this game, it isn't surprising that they are trying to create a huge marketing push. If the game turns out to be good, I don't see the point in boycotting a good game just because it has a lot of hype surrounding it. Look at bioshock, that game has a huge amount of hype right now, and its an awesome game.  Just because it has hype doesn't mean people should jump from the bandwagon of liking it, to the bandwagon of hating it just because it is popular. 

I never particularly liked halo, and I don't have a 360, but if the game turns out to be really good, and they port it to the pc, damn straight I'll buy it.  I'm a gamer first and foremost, and I'm not going to let politics or popularity put me off a good gameplay experience. 

[fonfa]

well, they're raising the bar
let's see if they can keep up with the hype they created
actually i'm not thrilled at all by halo 3. this excessive marketing just seems stupid to me.

It's retarded, even I have a genius mind for marketing, and spamming 'omg halo3' every where is retarded. I never said 'lol, i hate halo 3' I hate microsoft for advertising halo 3 like a penisbot.
I also, don't like bioshock. not because of hype, i was actually really impressed by it, I just played it on 360 and was unimpressed. but I'd still get bioshock before I got metroid prime 3.
I played metroid prime 3 and I was even more disappointed.

but yeah, i don't think I've said here that 'because of the politics and popularity, i'm not playing halo 3!'
if it's good, I might by it used, years down the line, because that's how I roll baby.
I don't want micro$haft to think that I bought into their shitty hype, even if it is a good game. I'll play it, but I am not going to sell out.

I'm disgusted by little kids. It offends me. Does that mean I should make all the parents change their lifestyle for me? No. I tolerate them. They bring joy to other people, and are integral. Why can't parents tolerate what I enjoy (Society being open minded, and not having silly morals)? I swear, some parents are so pushy when it comes to the media, and "protecting" their children. I bet some parents would destroy the first amendment to protect their kids, or to make things "moral". They want to make it so only some places can show things they happen to deem offensive at certain times. Why don't I make them live in kid zones, and segregate them away from us?

Also, Konrad was right. You don't want advertisements for a VIDEO game about the FUTURE with ALIENS, but you wouldn't mind torturing people from Microsoft?

EDIT: Oops double post.

1. The biggest problem with the first amendment is that every one sees free speech as a right, not a responsibility, which is what it is.
2. I'm all for 'show whatever you want' but they have to make things appropriate, there's a time and a place for everything, there's no place for master chief in kids meals.
3. I don't want advertisements for a violent video game, marketed to kids. Teletubbies don't need to be playing halo 3.
4. What's wrong with torture? I mean, as long as I don't do it infront of children.
5. I just want things to stay appropriate, I don't want to see a childrens show where the hostess has breasts bigger than the hulks head, and covers the nipples with olives, that's inappropriate for children. Acceptable for adults, but inappropriate for children. You don't have to sensor what your children see, just be able to explain what it is they're seeing, and feeling, and tell them how to deal with those feelings they're having. I'm not toting 'censorship!!' I just want things to be appropriate.
