Do North American Game Publishers Control Our Perpetual View on Neo-Orientalism?

"Why is it that American Game Publishers have a perpetual view on the way it comes to perceiving a third world country portrayed in a video game, and why is there censorship on the real events that happen?"

Yeah, Medal Of Honor is on my to get list because EA stopped being panzies and actually took a step to show both sides of the spectrum unlike COD.BO .

xino4988d ago

Just like how Medal of Honour is getting popular with the Play as the Taliban man!

If we see a kid trying to kill you in a game, it will just get controversy and eventually lead to banning. And there is no point in that is there.

Then again when you think about this, Must video games portray the exact way of our life or realism?
People always seem to forget the main purpose of a video game, and the purpose is to have fun!

"oh look, I'm having fun shooting a 7yr old who is trying to kill me in Afghanistan". No, we don't need that. Let virtual world be virtual world and let our reality be our reality world.

Gaming is for having fun and developers need to stop including so much reality to the game.
Then again, it's all down to New World Order, luciferian. All these things we can exprience from games but people do not take notice of. We just have the mindless idiots who love to defend games as their bread and butter.

Two Decades Later, the Original Splinter Cell is Still a Masterpiece

They don't make games like this anymore.

Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.

Jingsing6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.

You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.

I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.

vgvill6d ago

They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.

PrecursorOrb6d ago

Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company

Chocoburger5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.

Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.

anast11d ago

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Garethvk11d ago

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

anast11d ago

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk11d ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

1nsomniac11d ago

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

Garethvk11d ago

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
