Gun is a really fun game, despite afew annoying quirks. example: I don’t see a way to just load out of a mission when you are getting your butt kicked… you have to quit and return to the main menu and then reload.
Gay.
But her’es what REALLY irks me about this game. The traning phase is all about killing a bunch of animals.
Good grief part of the horse training is killing buffalo with a skid attack!
Look I know part of the gaming community are super childish little nerds who have never learned to stand up for themselves, and thus we have this whole flock of people in the VG niche who love cruel, gratuitous violence because it makes them feel better about themselves.
But I have to agree with Mel Gibson’s character in Lethal Weapon.
It’s ok to shoot people, but NOT ok to shoot animals. (dammit!)
Make fun if you will, but this really got under my skin. Call me a tree hugger, whatever…
I’m six feet, three inches tall and I weigh 205 pounds. I’m not a pansy on any level.
I just think it’s a wee bit stupid to kill a bunch of animals. I use video games to blow off steam.
I like blowing up heavily armed digital bad guys, not trampling buffalo. This intro really hurt my overall rating of Gun.
Which by the way, this blog really needs a rating system and a few reviewers. Interested?
Drop me an email and let’s get it going!
