very tacky. the game too.
What will you do?
Play a terrorist: hi-jack a plane and try to hit both the towers at once?
Play a businessman: try to get out of the building alive, ruin like hell without helping anyone?
Play a fireman: be powerless in front of such a disaster, watching people falling down from the top of the building?

I wanna play a politician and exploit the tragedy for political gain
As liberal, as free-thinking, as open to pretty much anything that doesn't involve me being raped in prison as I am, I have to say that this is just shameless, sick and way, way, way too soon. Hell, I think the games based on Vietnam are "too soon."
I hope these dicks go out of business.

some vietnam vets work for those companies!
Game makers can make their game about ANY event, and I don't have a problem with it. Although, I just don't see how to create an interesting game based on the events of September 11th. Will it be about the war in Afganisthan that followed? Maybe the war in Irak? There are SO MANY WAR GAMES, and none of them interest me anyway...

And if you knew my politics at all, you'd know that that the only words I have for our fearless leader are unkind ones. But thanks for painting me with the same brush you use for the hawks, it makes me feel all warm and tingly.All of that said, I stand by my opinion of this game.
Too soon? maybe..
Sick? Possibly to some invloved closely with these tradgedies..
Totally irresponsible and liable to only further damage the reputation of the industry? definately..
Whoever thought making this game was a good idea needs to be hunted down and shot for the good of all gamers and developers everywhere.

It's not too soon. It's just stupid.

how the hell do you survive Hiroshima?
I feel this is too funny to not be posted again. Yes I know it was terrible what happened, etc... but come on from strictly a humorous stand back from the event point of view... I can't be the only one that finds that Bin Laden head shot and quote hilarious.... or maybe I am... yeah I'm racking up those Hell points...
For those calling it a Disaster Report ripoff you're right. However, keep in mind how unpolished DR was as well as that the vast majority of the gaming mainstream probably never knew it even existed. I think a new "Disaster" type game marketed right could be a potential seller.

your logic flattens me from great heights.

I didn't forget about Afghanistan, but the reasons behind going into that country (as opposed to the U.S.'s reprehnsibly misguided invasion of Iraq) are better left explained in the OT forum (if you'd like to discuss it.)
And no, I'm not saying "War is OK only if the US wins." How you even arrived at that ludicrous conclusion...I don't even want to know. I think through my posts in this thread that I've made it perfectly clear that I think making games whose central focus is "fight in this real war," or "survive this real disaster which killed plenty of people!" is skirting the edge of taste. If you'd like to go through a game-by-game list to find some level of hypocrisy in my reasoning, please don't bother. You won't find any.

This is wrong, but there are plenty of Sept 11 moments to be had in this game

All right, but I'll say anyway. I assumed what I did because you said "unpopular war that was lost".xsarien said:
The flaw I was trying to find with the STALKER example is if it matters if you don't know what it's based on, since I'm guessing most americans have no idea about Chernobyl. It wasn't really meant as criticism towards you, sorry. It's just that you hear a lot of whining about, say, Vietnam-based games, but I've never heard a negative word about STALKER's setting. It doesn't depict the actual nuclear meltdown (or whatever), sure, but it still capitalizes on a huge tragedy. (Personally, I think it's a cool setting, but...)
