A PS3 ad which was deemed 'too violent' has been pulled by the Advertising Standards Agency in South Africa.
No-one gets a hammer to the face, or anything like that - the ad simply pictures the PS3 next to the words "Stocks are limited. Things could get ugly."
Things did get ugly in the US, where muggings and other feuds outside shops spurred authorities to increase security levels for queuing customers.
The ASA, according to Jolt, pulled the ad because it encouraged violence
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
This story woulda been better with the picture!
And Second, binned? Either there is a typo or they havent banned this, just put it on hold or away for now.
binned,
To place or store in a bin.
Doesnt mean absolutely discarded.
But it probably wont appear again.
Why they couldnt just say BANNED is beyond me!
nonsense.
How about a calling all cars sort of ad (cartoony and all), Guy gets in the car after purchasing, and then other cars come from nowhere then the fun begins, with the PS3 popping out of people's car... OMG it's a hot patayta!!!
funny at least to me rather than being offensive.
wow i love how stories with bad spelling in the titles get posted on here.
