It’s the same rot that already makes people genuinely believe in American exceptionalism. It’s also why some will fail to think of the serious implications of wading into a country with a gun and killing every single criminal dead. And yes, even if the player takes the quiet approach it still counts."
Precisely picking off your targets from a great distance while they never suspect a thing feels extremely satisfying and fun in games that execute the sniper concept well. Here are five such sniping games that are insanely satisfying.
Xbox Game Pass Quests recently reset for the month of November. So if you try to collect as many Microsoft Rewards points as possible, there's a new set available now.
This should hold everyone off until the next big release. I love me some reward points! [sarcasm]
Gamepass has changed everything. Phil, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for Gamepass. I just bought 50 years worth of subscription and I'm so happy.
Riiight! Thanks to GP I've discovered hundreds of indie fillers I would've never known about otherwise. Best part: team Xbox has discovered how great walking sims and interactive movies really are! And EA Play? Love me some 4 year old sports games!! Why sub up though? Just let MS auto renew that incredible $14.99 a month value. It's so easy!!
Gamepass is just so amazing. Adding EA play to it brought the service to a whole nother level. Phil Spencer has the brightest mind in gaming. By far.....
Ghost Recon Wildlands (and Breakpoint) reports have surfaced, and even after a week, players are still seeing the "Ribera" connection errors.
Bang bang! Can't imagine folks would be happy if there was a game about Bolivians coming to the US and shooting the place up.
Wow, talk about losing brain cells after reading that. Learn to proof read first off. Second, you are taking this game waaaay too literally. How many Americans flipped out when Homefront portrays America as a place North Korea invades with little to no resistance? How about Grand Theft Auto making fun of basically everything we do in America? Find another profession, please. Leave gaming to gamers who enjoy FICTIONAL stories. Fiction being the key word....holy hell....
Might be reading too much into this. It's a game. And it's made by the French, not Americans.
Ban this website already, nothing they write is ever game news, it is 100% politics.
What a Holyoake article...
I dont' actually have a negative opinion of the article, but what does GTA make people believe about, I think she means the United States as all inhabitants of the Americas are Americans, boo yah.
Can't a game just be a game?
Don't play MONOPOLY anybody!
It'd be different if there were propaganda news stations and politicians praising the accuracy of these games with regard to their subject matter....
And as crappy as CoD games have become, there's always all sorts of coordination with other countries' armed forces.
Proof-read:
"the suggestion that all Mexicans are drug dealers or rapists" ARE rapists, yes?
And I am sorry, but these types of games are essentially gun-porn, you wouldn't go watch pornography and try to take the plot and themes seriously would you? Both of these forms of "entertainment" have a solitary aspect of the human psyche to satisfy, pleasure centers of the brain. Nothing else.
