I one time got in a heated argument with a developer at Rockstar, and judging by his lack of character and intelligence, I'm not too sure if Rockstar has learned their lesson or not, but what do you think?

Will GTA be different, more arcade/comical, or will there be a "Hot Coffee" part two this time?

He came out attacking Christians, cursing them, calling them names, etc. when Christianity had nothing to do with the argument. It was basically a red herring.

Furthermore, he kept referring to the "Hot Coffee" mod as a hack, however, someone at Rockstar sat there and had to animate all of that scene (I have never watched the full thing, just the censored version they showed on the news).

Basically, Rockstar produced that "Hot Coffee" scene, set it up, set dressed it, and animated everything, and then they were surprised when they had to change the rating to Adults-Only due to ESRB rules.

A lot of people do stuff like that... I'm an agnostic and it still infuriates me to see other people attack what's probably the most personal values of another human being. But then again, some people out there like to beat their religion over other people's heads and that infuriates me too.

So you're telling me, just because you talked to one of the employers and he was being a douche it automatically makes the entire company stupid?

And what exactly is wrong with nudity in games when violence is allowed?

Because a society that has no shame will fall more and more into ruin.

Also, it is illegal to show pornographic material to someone under the age of 18, and people 17 could buy the game, and many under that age bought the game.

It's war, there is nothing morally wrong with fighting for your country in war.

Those who fought against the Nazis are heroes, those who fought against Communism (under which millions were killed) were heroes, and those who defend freedom and fight terror on various fronts are heroes.

So Mustard Gas isn't a WMD then, even though it can wipe out whole cities?

And if Sadaam was burying his military equipment in the sand, I guess he'd just leave his weapons lying around?

Any kind of sex or just a naked body is way more offensive than killing someone.

I thought that was common knowledge?

Its a pity that people might take your (both of you) views on what is going on over seas with our wars to heart. You both need to better inform yourselves with the military actions and their reasons for doing so. Feel free to comment back but please use some type of thought process when doing so.

The law is actually on my side, as Rockstar broke the law, and is now paying for it.

Fluff post?? So much for the thought process. Here it is again Barney Style: Please better inform yourselves before you start going off on a rant involving the proper way to protect the people that inhabit this earth.

I one time got in a heated argument with a developer at Rockstar, and judging by his lack of character and intelligence, I'm not too sure if Rockstar has learned their lesson or not, but what do you think?

Will GTA be different, more arcade/comical, or will there be a "Hot Coffee" part two this time?

dunamistheou
I doubt the validity of this story. Where did this "heated argument" take place at ( please tell me bible study) What lesson was Rockstar to learn, that there's no such thing as bad publicity? As for hot coffee I hope they did learn their lesson, we wanted cappuccinos.

:roll: R* didn't break the law, who knows what other games have mini-games or stuff like that in it that the devs just turned off.

Christianity is just a cult, as is almost every other religion. and nothing pisses me off more than you "self righteous" types.

Good sir I beg to differ. Christianity is not a cult, it is a crutch.

Oh, here it comes. Fear the highly religious ones, for every single war and every single terrorist attack has been planed and carried out by those who love their God and will defend him to the end.

where did war come into this?? GTA is about killing people for no apparent reason and gang-related....don't you think that is "morally wrong".. God blessed us with our bodies, it's peoples' freedom whether or not they want to flaunt it to the world. God didn't give us weapons with the intent of killing someone for no reason.

take your crap elsewhere. if you want to worship this magical dude with a beard whose dad aparently created us out of mud 5000 years ago then go ahead. but you´re not going to convince anyone of anything.

btw if you have to chose some religion then LaVeyan Satanism if by far the most logical. But it´s more of a philosofy than a religion. a little off topic but it´s fun to say when christians are around.

Honestly without sex we could no reproduce, I do not see how sex can possibly be morally wrong. Going on a rampage with a flamethrower is OK but once you see sex you think it's morally wrong? Well you better never wack off or have sex with a girl man, you go to hell for things like that.

[QUOTE="dunamistheou"]It's war, there is nothing morally wrong with fighting for your country in war.humber_matus

So your telling me that killing another person over oil is better than watching some girl on girl action?

Or killing someone over pineapples. People are saying it's bad we're waging a war for oil when we took over Hawaii for sugar cane and pineapple.
