Reason #352 why North America sucks: We Dare

Ubisoft's decision not to bring We Dare to North America highlights the hypocrisy of North American culture, where bullet penetration is preferable to sexual penetration.

[cochise313]

I do agree we do things kind of ass backwards here in the states, but we do not suck.

[Zinc]

Does this guy have a list of 351... excuse me, now 352 reasons why North America sucks?

Where is this list?

Show me the list.

@cochise - He is including Canada, as he specifically says North America.

[kneon]

Canada shouldn't be lumped in with the US on this issue.

In Canada women can legally walk the streets topless, gays and lesbians can get married, the Osbourne's contained no bleeps and breasts on TV don't result in a governmental inquisition.

Almost forgot, Melissa Leo wasn't bleeped at this weeks Oscars either. And no one cared.

[palaeomerus]

I live in Austin, Texas and women can legally go topless here. They almost never do but it's not against the law. Gay Marriage is legal in some states. Any shows on cable can have nudity and profanity if they want to and many do.

And those reasons among many other is why canada has ALWAYS taken a back seat to America and most other nations. If the typical canadian feels as you do no wonder your country is 2nd rate!

[DaTruth]

Cry moar!!!

Backseat what? We took number one country in the world 10 years in a row! Our banks are also still functioning without any bailouts posting profits too and we came out of the recession like nothing even happened!

$1US = $.98CA. Our deficit is $40 billion, prior to the recession we were posting $15billion surpluses every year; how many trillions is your deficit?

Canada is like the 7 largest economy in the world. In per capita wealth it is second; If that's what you meant by second rate.

Right now Canada makes every other country look stupid!

dont forget mexico, thats also part of NA

[SixZeroFour]

facepalm at however disagreed :/

[awiseman]

where bullet penetration is preferable to sexual penetration.

LOL

Is true though the US culture is chock full of double standard BS.

[Fallouts]

yea cause the rest of the world is just perfect..

[N311V]

And we get the opposite in Australia, censortized version of GTAIV, no Mortal Kombat and We Dare gets a PG rating so children of any age can play it with recommended parental guidance.

[SeraphimBlade]

We're only up to 352? Really? Damn, I thought we would have at least broke the 500-mark by now

[UP]

the same can be said for other parts of the world

[SeraphimBlade]

All these disagrees, can nobody take a joke?

[GamerPops]

Someday, I would like to compile that list. It would be a fun list :)

[Broncos98]

alcohol and imagination have worked pretty well so far.

[xstation79]

If this guy isn't happy here in north america, then move to Europe. I don't see why not getting 1 game is reason enough to start bitching about North America. Next year we will be reading articles about how We Dare is causing a increse in STDs reports.

Theres no hypocracy IMO.The Wii is seen as a family friendly console, and a game that calls for two gals going at it (among other things) doesnt fit the template.
Im sure the marketing execs felt that the potential sales of it here wouldnt outweigh the bad publicity.
I wouldnt want my daughter playing it.Or my 12 year old niece. But I have nothing against adults enjoying it.Hell, with the right crowd I wouldnt mind playing it myself!

[thisguywithhair]

Two problems with what you said.

1. It is not only on the wii, it is also on the PS3.

2. Fair enough that you don't want you daughter playing the game. And alot of people think this way as well. It is also a very stupid way to think. Just dont buy the game for her. She buys it herself, you take it away. She plays it at a friends house, she doesnt play with that friend anymore. Very simple.

Btw: if I thought the same as you and I found my daughter playing with my lighter, I wouldn't take it away from her. I would run straight for the computer and call for a ban on all lighters. Just saying is all.

P.S.: I know someone is going to throw in the whole rating thing at my second point. This is all I have to say, read the point again. There are movies I wouldn't want my daughter to watch and they are rated PG, technically she will be able to watch them as long as an adult is watching with her. But if I don't like what is going on in the movie then she just doesn't watch it. End of story. Then again, she is only three and it is pretty easy to tell her what to do lol.

[DuneBuggy]

Uhh..Im not calling for a ban and neither is the U.S.A.
Ubisoft didnt want to catch hell over it.Ratings system or not, you KNOW some 11 yr olds would start posting Youtube vids of them "enjoying" the game.
Guess you didnt read the part of my post where I CLEARLY stated that i have NO issues with ADULTS playing it,and dont appreciate being called stupid.
In a perfect world where ALL parents were well versed in the ratings system and acted accordingly, we wouldnt have any problems. No kids playing online some of my beloved mature titles suits me just fine.
They should have adopted the same as movies IMO (PG,PG-13,R..etc). That would have helped.

[thisguywithhair]

He is right. It is more acceptable to say, "fuck this" than it is to say, "fuck me". This attitude doesn't help anyone as it only makes people feel dirty when thinking and feeling what everyone feels and thinks about.
