The funny part is how when any other news station pulls this bullshit, it's "the media" en masse for misreporting. Only when the seven-headed chimera of hate and evil, Fox News, brings any retardedness to bear does anyone bother citing a specific source.Quote:

RockPaperShotgun is doing some excellent follow-up to the story.
Pretty much as expected, but still pretty funny from a "spreading the bullshit thick" perspective.Quote:
More insight about how FoxNews.com put the story together can be found in the questions that they asked contributors. So when TV Doctor X, or Motivational Speaker Y gets sent the email asking for their thoughts about a game they’ve never heard of nor played, knowing the question they were asked puts their comments into a different light. What they received was,
“1. Bulletstorm glorifies violence for fun and extra points. You can shoot the bad guys in the private parts for points, get drunk and shoot for more points, throw a chain with spikes and hook enemies. But some of the worst parts are actually related to the names for the skill shots and the in-game dialogue, which is definitely profane. What should be done about these games?”

They also just put up a new look at the game itself: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011...ns/#more-50258
Sounds pretty rad, honestly. I haven't tried the demo yet.
All this Fox News firestorm is just free publicity for the game.
I like that the game is very tongue-in-cheek. It's trolling the rest of the genre, which I can always appreciate. I enjoyed the demo, I hesitate to say off the bat that it will be excellent. It might be tough turning the concept into a full-on campaign. I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.
Not to mention free publicity for Fox News. Why do you think they do this stupid shit? There's a reason their ratings club CNN, MSNBC, etc. combined... in addition to the fact that they are sometimes right, whereas the others never are.Quote:

If you think that gaming blogs reposting their idiotic videos is attracting viewers you're out of your mind.
