I got something... The new Jack Thompson is this Jane Roberts? Though I admit her concerns are a bit more grounded.
Indeed, there is nothing more repulsive than these monsters that defy nature and are known by the name of witcher, as they are the offspring of foul sorcery and witchcraft. They are unscrupulous scoundrels without conscience and virtue, veritable creatures from hell capable only of taking lives. They have no place amongst decent and honest folk.

Awesome, another game to train with to obtain world domination. First order of business, Jane Roberts goes first.

Don't antagonise them. They want to piss you off for the sole purpose that you'll make stupid threats like these.

I still can't use this.

Ignoring the obvious Jack Thompson-esque melodrama, Australia, and the above bashing of the game that was completely irrelevant to the actual topic, I have to admit that the scene isn't controversial for no reason this time. My brother invited me to take a look at it just now, and indeed that level is visceral and just outright depressing. It evokes that uncomfortable feeling where you hum and shirk away because the situation is so borderline that you're not sure what to think.

I'm still not one for censorship, though; Artistic expression and all of that. But it was much easier to debunk this type of shit because the violence was either fantastical or so exaggerated and silly that all anyone needed to do was rub two brain cells together to decipher that it wasn't that harmful. This hits a little lower, simply because it is so damn brutal and unforgiving. But I suppose that's what IW was going for in the first place, eh? I tip my hat to them for eliciting that response in me.

But overall, that was the last thing I wanted to see before going to bed. Bloody 'ell. X.x

I actually thought the scene was extremely mild compared to the last level.

It was mild anyway. Someone I knew was complaining about it, when I said; they were Russian civillains he said "Oh, that's okay then" he's an idiot.

But I guess that goes with everything it's been taken way out of context, after all it's a story and it should be treated with the respect it deserves.

I didn't see the last scene, so from my current viewpoint it's easier to sympathize with the helpless victims of a terrorist attack than the people of any side who willingly put themselves in the line of fire regardless of their ability to have defended themselves at that current moment.

And from what I hear, the story actually sucks nickels and the scene in question is extremely out of place as a result, so the amount of respect it should be treated with is very debatable. xD Regardless, I can still understand any uncomfortable feelings other people would have had watching/playing as I certainly had them; The scene is just rather raw, but again I wouldn't be getting up in arms over it and I call foul on any hypocrite, like your friend, that would. Because had the scene been in a movie, no one would have given a shit.

I actually just watched the video for the first time, and it was actually pretty horrifying. Not the most horrifying thing I've seen in a game, however.
