S.T.real,lights,out Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I cant see this being released on a console or anything. Maybe they are using it to find/prevent the next school shooting? See whos the best and then keep an eye on these people? IDK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 For what it's worth, I don't like Grand theft auto either, but at the same time I will say there is a difference between fiction and nonfiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried any of the war games? I think that would fall under nonfiction and those games are ridiculously violent. They just aren't as "backyard" as this game is.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I agree with the people saying that a) this is horrible but it's just a nuance of what kids are already playing. I don't understand the appeal of "shooter" video games at all. But, then again, I'm old and grew up with Nintendo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Abe Simpson whe he used to say "I used to be with it, then they changed what it was, now what I'm with, isn't it and what is it, seems weird and scary".

Hazel-Ra Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 It was Valve's intent to allow people to do this, they provide tools to work with the Source game engine and even have an online wiki to help people out. Mods are a big part of the reason why they have been so successful as a company in the interim between releases of their flagship series (Half-Life). I would be shocked if they bothered to take any legal action beyond simply making sure that their asses are covered. They are in no way endorsing the game and it will not appear in the Steam Store but they also can't prevent its release. Well that's that I guess...think I'm going to pass on this one. I remember the first time I played Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty. When you used the pistol you could get an extreme zoom. Just to see what it looked like I snuck up on one the baddies and choked him till he passed out, switched to sidearm, zoomed and tapped him execution style. Game or not it was kind of a creepy feeling and I never did that again. I still play plenty of shooters and blast everything but that was definitely different as graphics were really starting to look realistic at that point In games like Thief, Splinter Cell, Alpha Protocol where stealth is key, you have the opportunity to use non lethal means and I do because that's the options I would use in real life. On games where you choose if your a hero or thug i always play hero. Then I'll always try to play through again make the thug descisions but I always go back to being a good guy.

Stugein Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 It's a user-created mod to HL2. it's a couple kids that are only calling themselves a "studio" and "releasing" it to drum up downloads. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RansomthePasserby Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 As someone who lost a friend on 04/16/07, this is beyond offensive. I think people are giving these guys waaay too much credit. They're not "game developers," they're just a few attention whore trolls, who aren't mature enough to look past themselves, sitting in a basement somewhere modifying an already existing game just to get reactions.

Someone has never taught in public school before, haha. Yes that was going too far but it is definitely a problem with this generation. I can't tell you how many kids I've seen jump someone and have no problem kicking them 10-20 times in the ribs, face, etc... They literally do not understand why this is wrong. End rant.

Koolblue13 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I just want to say that there is a dog fighting app for the android and I am equally disappointed by that, as I am all these other games and see no difference, since people seem to think my love of dogs is held in higher regard than for humans.
