Stuff like this almost does good for a game. Heheh.
Well, Its ok game. Could have been better :) But it definately doesnt deserve all this controversey.
And I agree, I'm tired of seeing every Russian character being portraied either as KGB agent, or as Mobster !
"stereotyping or misrepresenting of their race "
How is it stereotyping? Because some terrorists happen to be their race, they think it's all a big plot against them? I don't call it stereotyping when I watch a movie that features a white serial killer. I look at it as a fictional serial killer who happens to be white. Why does everyone always think that the world is against them? NO WHERE in the game does it say "this game is an actual representation of real life". It also never sates that all of the bad guys in the game are based on real people and everyone that belongs to that race are just as evil. What about the italians in the first level who are, surprise, portrayed as mobsters! I don't hear anyone whining about that. What do we have to do, make all bad guys aliens, or robots as was already suggested? Then we'd get people saying "Stop holding my robot/alien brothers down!"
When I play a game, race never comes into my head. I don't go into a game thinking "Ok, it's time to kill all the evil *Insert race here*" If you do, thats your own problem. I look at games for what they are, fictional. They aren't meant to be an accurate representation of the world around you. Especially not Hitman 2. It is because of people like this that Silent Scope 3 has a message informing everyone that the game is fiction. It's pretty sad when a developer actually has to point that out.
Last I checked, my copy of Hitman 2 did not come packaged with a book of propaganda stating to kill all the other races. Race should not come into play with videogames. None of it is real. If you are sick and twisted enough to pretend you are killing all of the other races, that is your problem. The game was not intended to be taken that way. You are meant to be killing the "bad guys". I hate to ruin the fun, but last I checked "bad guys" come in all colors. If you are offended that there happens to be a "bad guy" of your race in a damn videogame, than maybe you should look at the real world. Every day people are killed. It's not some faceless race doing it. Every race has "bad guys". I don't think there is anything more I can say other than "Get over it".
With that logic NOTHING would exist, as something offends everyone. The Brule Lee XBOX game offended me by being complete trash, it has to be recalled.Quote:

Nuts to that.

I've never heard anything about this before, ever.
(not sayings it's untrue, but until I get some actual evidence on it I don't believe it)
I tried finding proof of the Colonel's AzN rootz, but didn't find nuthin' but this.

I so need one of these. It's even cooler than the Big Boy statue.
Damn the colonel looks FOB!
Don't you take control of a "genetically engineered hitman" in the hopes of helping him find his friend/priest's captors and bring them to justice... HELLO reality check. Let's not forget that this white bald guy can pass as anybody the moment he switches his clothes.
Do they even play videogames? As far as I'm concerned I didn't pick up on any racial conentation when it came to terrorist being from a specific race... so they can just suck my balls.

More and more people are thriving on being victims: "Poor me, I can't do anything to help myself, so I'm going to boycott and rant until someone else fixes the problem for me."
People who aren't even offended get offended....because they think they should be.
Reality check, indeed.
