After all this AO and banned fuss.. Im totally getting Manhunt 2

Actually i wasnt really expecting anything from the title..

The first game was pretty meh for my tastes (PCversion that is)

well i never liked games with absurd violence...

but this whole cencorship stuff is getting on my nerves.. seriously why do we need to be limited in our freedom to enjoy media and why should take two endure limitations in their freedom of expression... I hate censorship and this whole UK banned story and USA AO Rating fuss (with Sony and Nintendo totally being **** about it) is getting on my nerves..

Im going to support T2 on this one.. eventhough i fear i wont play the game at all.. whatever im getting the wii version..

Its not coming out with its present rating.

Nintendo and Sony don't approve? To bad for T2.

Um, you can't.ZinkOxide

Uh there are other countries (like austria or swiss) that are more liberal regarding violent videogames then Germany, UK and USA

I did the same thing when they said GTA3 was getting pulled from the shelves, haven't bought a GTA game since. That game sucked.krafty27

I'm getting it because it looks like a good game.

I enjoyed the first one, and I love stealth games, so I don't seea reason not to get this one.

Hopefully it will be released commercially if T2 decides to tone it down a little; as long as the stealth gameplay is intact I don't really care if the absurd violence is still there.

Manhunt 2 may still come out on the PS2, I don't know, we haven't heard much from Sony on the issue, but the chances of Rockstar wanting to put out a PS2-exclusive version of Manhunt 2 that will likely be barred from sale in dozens of countries, and will not be allowed to have in-store advertisements, shelf space visible to minors, et cetera are pretty slim.

Sony also said that they wont allow AO on their console

I am not going to play the game unless it is in its original form that was submitted to the ESRB a few weeks ago. I will never play the downgraded crap just because console companies don't want violent games to be played by kids.foxhound_fox

Then I guess you won't play it at all.

Except if Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft do not allow AO software on their console, then it's not coming out in North America, period. The UK and Ireland have already banned it, Germany and Australia will likely follow suit - the middle east won't allow this *at all* - so where is the game going to be published?` Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo likely won't allow it to be published on their consoles in Japan either, so to be released in its present form, Rockstar would have to make this a PC title, release it only in countries where it hasn't been banned, and would get a tiny fraction of the sales they would have by making it a PS2 / Wii title.

Germany.. probably.. they even banned Godfather and Crackdown...

Austria and Swiss.. I dont think so..

I dont think Rockstar has a subsidiary in Japan.. they normally distribute through Capcom..

I was going to buy it if it was as is. If they are going to tone it down I don't think it will be as exciting, so I'll just pass on it.LINKloco

Just out of curiosity, is your user name a reference to the great John Farnham?

Then I guess you won't play it at all.Big_Red_Button

Man Hunt 2 is for little kids compared to this.miss_kitt3n

that game was awsome to bad i never got to play it

I know many won't agree with me on this, but censorship on violent content is the only kind of censorship which really doesn't bother me. Kind of like how I don't mind that the news doesn't show war scenes, murders, etc in extremely graphic detail.I wouldn't see the point in it. I don't care if ridiculously over-the-top content with gruesome detail like this is not released.We still get plenty of extremely violent games to play, which I do like.

their not going to cancel the game they would lose to much money but i do see them taking out the sex. sex always makes a game go ao. god of war did it the smart way they didnt show it you just heard it. all this attention is going to make this game sell like hotcakes when it droppes to a mature rating and it willistayonfireboy

There is no sexual content in this game, they made it AO for violence only. What they dont understand is that the averege gamer age is 30, not small children:x

"The ultra-violent videogame Manhunt 2 allows you to rape a woman shortly after you beheaded her in the brothel level called Honey Pot. Members of the ESRB were shocked when Daniel Lamb used his male reproduction organ and simulated a penetration in the bloody hole. Other gruesome parts include microwaving a living cat to death and being a witness of necrophilia in a cemetery in one of the later stage of the game."

Roffles, good luck with that, seeing how it has been banned from production worldwide atm.

See above post. It contains acts of rape, animal crulity, necrophillia, and various other odd deeds.

Rape, animal cruelty and necrophilia are not as bad as murder, and gamers revel in it without a complaint.

Maybe animal crulity could get off as easier then murder and that otehr stuff, but really, I believe necrophillia nad rape are around as bad. Rather traumatizing and directly psycologically ruining of lives in the way of rape, and necrophillia is just plain sick in so many ways it's not even funny.

Reaosn murder gets off so easly in media is because it's very common and much more swift and subtle. Needs much less explanation to say "That man hanted that other man" than to say "that man had strong sexual urges to assault that woman without her liking in harmful ways"

The reason people feel this way is because killing has been glorified in movies and games for so long, it no longer has any effect. If they're "around as bad" then why should they be banned when killing is not? It's just some gore and twisted imagery. Tons of horror movies and novels bring forth the same. Finally, we've got a crazy horror game and we can't even play it in it's uncut form. That's incredibly lame. The game was designed for a specific audience, there's no reason adults can't play it. It is a GAME in the end. Most people playing this game will have seen this before a million times. It will effect them in no way different than GTA effects others.
