Acropolis7 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 When you break it down, Niko is basically an Illegal immigrant to the United States that kills Naturalized Americans of virtual polygon forms (If you make Him), parenthesis for truth. However this premise of an Illegal immigrant to the New Roman Empire, A.K.A. The United States will make for more controversy. This is the first time a world is soo real where Americans are not killing each other, but an Illegal immagrant is killing virtual Americans in any game. Again if you choose. This game may very well get banned in the United States before it does Australia. Discuss. P.S. not a joke topic, only a question if Lou Dobbs get ahold of this CNN and FOx NEWS have something in common. Being an American myself I must be truthfull, this is the first "game" where an Illegal comes to our territory and virtually can kill virtual representations of Americans. Let us all hope Niko has a conscience. The last thing I would want is bannage of this game. Free speach is not free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTAFourever Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 At least the character in the game doesn't have hispanic features...that would cause way way more problems IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazzysimon Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Certainly hope not. After all this is only fictional content, and it should be treated like one. Just because the game is about an immigrant killing people, it doesn't mean that there're Niko look-alikes out there killing people while driving like his hair is on fire. Tony Montana in "Scarface" was an immigrant too, were there controversies over that topic when the movie came out? I am only almost 19 so I wouldn't know... However, considering what the FOX news and die hard conservatives can do these days... It's sadly possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafioso86 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 At least the character in the game doesn't have hispanic features...that would cause way way more problems IMO. sh*t... that would be so fun... you could play like this mexican smuggler who drives through the border fence with an AK shooting cowboys and rednecks and a big message comes on the screen "KILL ALL THE GRINGOS!!!!!!!!" kinda like that, "Kill all the Haitians!" thing from VC. And the missions could be smuggling illegals and drugs into the US. My only worry would be that it would have bad effects on the immigrant community... but the idea of republicans getting pissed because a video game glorifies immigrating illegally and killing good ol' boys is priceless.

SimpsonFly Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 A game getting banned in the U.S.? Hah, like would ever happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derty Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Manhunt series is created to test the waters. 1 was for SA, 2 for IV. When you saw it was released, you knew IV was safe. Really. Do the math. Pet Project the case may be; it is over the edge to be sure this title isn't. "They bitch about this, we'll make a new IP and it will be way worse and when we know it passes, we're sure IV is untouchable." And I dunno about a conscience... In trailer 5 Niko says to do this, a man must have no soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acropolis7 Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 Have you not played scarface ? Tony Montana was form the America's. Even though he was not an American he was from American Territory. South American. Yes he was a foreiginer, but he was still an American. Nikko is from the war torn Balkins. But maybe you are right. Americans tend to forget how Americans from South America or North America are still Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VEE-33N Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 i bet if Niko wore a turban the sh*t would hit the fan. Other than that it will just be the usual sh*t. "GTA IV made my child <insert action here>" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCPD's Finest Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 The game should only be looked at as if it were a movie. It is simply a form of entertainment, nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishermanGTA Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Of course they will. If anything happens that also happens in IV the media will pin it all on this one video game. Jesus I just realized I hate people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
