They are catering to the lowest common denominator, like movies such as Freddy Got Fingered. That earns my spite.Quote:

I agree that the game looks really stupid but if it manages to take down another censorship barrier in console gaming, I'm all for it.
But will it actually accomplish that? Look at Sony's response.Quote:

Yeah, I'm not too pleased at Sony for that. It's times like this I wish the console wars would end and a standard machine that anyone could manufacture would exist.
So, only games and movies with high class humor should be released? I'm sick of this "lowest common denominator" bull. You don't like it, don't support it. You have no right to insult the people that do. Not everything has to be sophisticated to be good. I like all types of humor, yes even humor that caters to the so called "lowest common denominator". I don't hold back laughs for fear of someone thinking I'm a memeber of said denominator. If it's funny, I laugh. End of story. I don't feel a need to make myself look somehow better by laughing at something a majority of the general public is too stupid to understand.Quote:

I understand that Acclaim is selling the game on the gimmick alone. But ignoring the game based on said gimmick is just as bad as buying the game solely for the gimmick. None of us has played it. For all you know it could be the best Bmx game made. You would ignore it because Acclaim tacked on some lame "adult" themes? The game is what is important to me. I am a big fan of Z-Axis' work and from what I understand, this will be their last BMX game with the Dave Mirra engine. I for one am not going to pass it simply because of the gimmick. Sure, I'll get called a "pervert" and be lumped in with the "lowest common denominater", but if I'm having fun, I don't care.
I just see no need to get a holier than thou attitude and act like anyone who buys the game is a "horny teenager". If you don't want it don't buy it. If you don't want to support Acclaim because you think the gimmick is stupid, don't buy it. I, however, am going to buy it, gimmick or not.
Do you think I like defending a game with "adult themes" tacked on solely due to the success of more "mature" titles? Well, I don't, but I'm at least open minded enough to give the game a chance. I'm not going to pass on a game that has te chance to be great simply because someone decided to add the lame gimmick to it. I guess all of you who are dead set against trying BMX XXX would not play a Metal Slug clone if it featured Barbie characters? You are probably the same people who passed on Kingdom Hearts solely because of the Final Fantasy character gimmick or the Disney theme. Yes there is a difference and I can understand why all of you are against BMX XXX. It just paves the way for more games being released with a similar gimmick.I don't know, you are entitled to your own opinion. I just happen to disagree. This doesn't make me a "pervert" or a "desperate gamer" or something. I'm simply a fan of Z-Axis's previous games and I'm not about to pass one up just because Acclaim decided to "improve" it with "adult situations".
I'm waiting in a "queue" as we speak! :lol:
But that's where my biggest problem comes from. I also love Z-Axis's work, and I don't think it should be lowered to that level. Hell even Dave Mirra asked to have his name removed from the game.
Well, I have nothing against this game. I just dont like biking/skating games, so I dont think I will be getting this, with or without tits :)
And I agree with UndeadKing statement. If you dont like it, doesnt mean other people not supposed to like it either. Everyone makes the choice for themselves, and to taker away that choice is one step closer to censorship, and loss of freedom.
As for PS2 joke, the game coming to Cube as well. So I guess its not only PS2 that will support this kind of crap, but your beloved Cube also :) Think about it.
There's no reason that they can't like the humor. I mentioned Freddy Got Fingered because I have a friend who actually likes it. I just think less of him because of it. I will continue to look down on people for enjoying such sophmoric humor. Yes, I am elitist... so there.Quote:

Bbobb,
Well, I'm sorry to hear that you are like that. I don't know why someone enjoy a different type of humor than you makes them "lower" than you, but, whatever. I used to have nothing but respect for you... I will continue to look down upon people who can't respect other's likes and dislikes if they differ from their own.
