Reply to Playing as the Taliban in Next MoH Game in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

[quote who="Smarmellows" reply="44" id="2711283"] Society will always be vulgar, and what is acceptable or not is relative to the society. Games like GTA, Saints Row (I play the latter), are extremely vulgar, to be terribly honest the main attraction of Saints Row is the unrestrained almost Benny Hill like quality the violence has for me. I titter something fierce when I watch my toon do a cartwheel over the hood of a car because I slammed on the accelerator of my

[quote who="dragoaskani" reply="82" id="2711186"] maybe where you live. But in my town all the game stop employees are avid gamers including the most the girls that work there. We have alot of female employees for the measly 4 gamestops we have. I think theres 1-2 female employees at each store. [/quote] Well we're all basing this on our own experiences, but only one person is making some sort of sweeping claim on an entire gender over it.

[quote who="Smarmellows" reply="41" id="2710895"] Making a film about the 'war on terror', Iraq, Afghanistan I doubt are something veterans of these places would want to watch, but the purpose of them is to not just be a vulgar display of violence, but to teach us about what's going on. The purpose of a video game is to have fun, to make light of things. To make a video game about people shooting each other, Westernish forces fighting opfor or what h

They don't pay very well. While you could get someone who knows and loves their games to work there and do a good job, the best employees are going to wind up in higher paying jobs (because talent tends to rise over time).

I think Elemental has the disadvantage, or advantage depending on how you look at it, of having to base it's success on how good the game is for it's target audience. A lot of these other games, put out by big company with huge marketing budget could peddle crap or recycled content and their rabid fanbase (reviewers included) will eat it up regardless to the tune of millions. Personally, I am hoping Elemental will be a little more broad in appeal than GalCiv, which by no means implies I
