Nice one

Mr.Nice Guy

I think games like these are tasteless.It's like that one in America challenging you to match Lee Harvey Oswald's shots on President Kennedy.

Out of order,in my opinion.

Nope, not bullsh*t. It's called "decency". They may as well make a game where you can round up Jews and gas them in chambers... tasteless at best.

Pretty stupid coment. The aim of the game isn't to let the planes fly in to the buildings... :rolleyes:

No.People died on that day in horrific circumstances.This game glorifies that.
Whatever next?A game in which you have to find Iraqi terrorists before they behead some hostages?

Utterly tasteless.

I will bet you anything the Delta Force games by Novalogic are already doing that or will be soon.

Seriously guys, there's far worse things out there than this stupid little game, more widely availible for kids in particular, on consoles etc.
I think this little thing has been hit a bit heavy. I'm in no way supporting it, and to be honest the only part amusing for me was the Star Wars theme lasers! which is all i appreciated about it.

Though if anyone has anything to complain about it should be shooting the planes rather than protecting the buildings... :rolleyes:

The reason this game is tasteless is because it tramples on a defining moment for people everywhere.We were all appalled by the events of 9/11.
If a game emerged asking you to find Iraqi hostages before they behead Ken Bigley or Margaret Hassan,would you enjoy it?I hope not.
It is the same with this game.Innocent people were slaughtered by Al Qaeda fanatics and firefighters were killed trying to rescue the people.
This significant moment does not deserve to be treated as if it were insignificant,as if it were a joke.Shame on the people who made this game.

i was shooting at the towers..... nothing happends though.

It's just a game. Sure it's based on real events, just like many games and films are. Do you find it sickening that people enjoy playing games or watching films based on World War II etc. Sure, if you knew someone who was in one of the planes then I can understand why you might find it offensive but otherwise it's just a game.

not a fan of allo allo then? How about the battlefield games? or any other ww2 shooter.

And Titanic? (well it was a mokery of film)

your not going to get any support over that comment, most people here dont get offended by T.V much. Maybe annoyed by ignorance or stupidity. but you tend to see alot of eye rolling when prince harry does something stupid and so on. Maybe if said person had malicious intent...like the creators of ethnic cleansing...then its offensive...but mistakes are made. And people tend to over react...alot.

things that i find offensive is the little detail that everyone accepts as fact and ends up as a accepted part of the political or social system. but thats cause i'm a politcs studant. (see board of racial equality in england...now that pisses me off)

damnit i lost track of my argument....


anyway...I'm 20 today!!!! LUCKY ME...

It only took me 4 planes to knock the towers, yay, I dunno what the score was though.

hey Mr Niceguy.

ever played hmm... let's see.....

Command and conquer Generals
Battlefield 1942
Blackhawk down
Delta Force
man I could list tons of them, and you have defintetly played at least one of them.
and enjoyed it aswell
I don't know who stuck that stick in your arse but they did a good job of wedging it in there real tight.
Flash games come out for every major issue, I remember there was one where you had to catch babies which Micheal Jackson threw out of a hotel window.
not the best thing but it was entertaining in a way.
if you take everything serious what you see in the web, then you will end up shooting yourself.

These games don't glorify the events,though.MOH games allow you to hear experiences from those who fought in the war.War games can't be compared to a terrorist event in which people were murdered.

No one stuck a stick in my arse,Gilgamesh,I just take offence at people who make light of an event where people from all over the world,including Irish people,were murdered at the hands of Al Qaeda fanatics.
I'm astonished at the amount of people who find it perfectly justifiable to play a game which depicts the demolition of the Twin Towers.Disgraceful.

BlitzKrieg

These games don't glorify the events,though.

Generals has you invading baghdad, using suicide bombers, toxic weapons, nukes and so on...hmm

Bf1942 turns some of the greatest military disasters ever into fun arcade blasting things. BF vietnam turns the vietnam war into a arcade game with good music.

that sounds like alot of glorifying to me.

I take it you find monty python offensive aswell then?

oh yes, The Life of Brian was sickening

I can understand why you're offended, but isn't making light of a tragedy a coping mechanism? Humour is sometimes the only way people can deal with something horrible.

The people you are shooting in war games are in a war scenario.In war,you fight or you die so it cannot be compared to 9/11 which was the murder of thousands of individuals.That is the difference.
What if a game came out putting you as an IRA member on Bloody Sunday who must shoot the British paratroopers before they murder the civil rights protesters.Would you be offended by that?

Well I'm glad you at least understand my position.I see the point you are making and it is valid,however some things should not be made fun of.For example Allo Allo mocking the Nazis is fine,a show mocking Jews getting gassed by the Nazis would not be.Mocking Osama Bin Laden is fine,mocking the destruction of the Twin Towers is not.

Gilgamesh

so the killing that went on in vietnam for example was okay in your eyes, so making a game about it was okay.
Dropping Napalm onto villages and burning up civilians just to get a few Vietcong was okay?
The US Invaded and fooked up, killing tons of inocent people in there.
I think it is worse having a game what is based on a hostoric moment, where you can change the ending. But hwy this isn't the same as a little flash animation of the WTC, I think I will never know.
If there would be a game with the IRA, I am more than sure that people would buy it, not all, but the same ones who for example played hitman 2 or other.

Also you are implying that it is okay to take the piss out of the 'bad' guys, Osama, etc. but it is not okay to mock there actions? Why do you think these people get mocked? because they are known for their actions, and people need a way to forget what they did, that is where humour comes into play.

9/11 was tragic, but the only reason it hit people so badly, because everybody thought that the US was untouchable and nothing else.
I am not grieving for those people more than any other insident that happend in the past, be it one person killed or thousands.

the way you wrote your comments makes you sound like you have built an altar and dedicate your life to praying for the dead.

Lads cant you see????

Killing americans and laughing about it is bad mmmmmkay, VC., Charlie, killing all those is a laugh, not killing yankie. Man are you all so blind as not to be offended? [/sarcasm]

You must be either ignorant or stupid.I never said what went on in Vietnam was OK but why let the facts get in the way of a good rant,eh Gilgamesh?
Yes it is OK to take the piss out of guys like Bin Laden,Hitler et al because it is a coping mechanism as Jr.Shabadu pointed out.However mocking horrific events is hardly a coping mecahnism.It is glorifying murder.

The way you wrote your comments makes you sound like yet another anti-American.I'd ask you to show more tact and dignity but those human traits seem beyond you...

I think that game is completely out of taste and very untactful. I think its a disgrace that people are making a joke out something which killed nearly 3 thousand people

So are you saying it's acceptable to kill people in a war scenario? Innocent people die during wars too. What the Americans did to Hiroshima was a million times worse than what those terrorists did to the World Trade Centre.

I got bored shooting at the planes, so I opened fire on the towers, but nothing happened......hmm, does that make me a bad person :rolleyes:

Fun game, imo, but whatever, this will be an endless debate, back down people, it really doesn't matter, if you wanna play the game play it, if not don't. But keep the peace on Boards at least

Innocent people do die in wars but this is not the case in any war game I've played,like MOH for example,where I have been up against Nazis trying to kill my character.
This is completely different to a game making light of an event in which thousands of civilians were murdered.
In war,you accept your situation is kill or be killed.The people who died on 9/11 were people trying to earn a living who were murdered by religious fanatics.The idea that people can't acknowledge that(CoolCiaran and others aside)is disappointing.
