more video game controversy

[malkatamutra]

I havent heard ONE complaint from gamers.

[goodvibesallround]

Parents have no responsibility anymore these days. Basically the entertainment industry must raise our children now...so they must be held responsible....Lol.

[benjak134]

I'm adopted and I didnt give a fuck so stop ur bitching

[nonparei]

Cry us a river.

[Shadowff61337]

It's a robot...

Robots != Humans

[ElectricHotdog]

oh my god. i don't want to live on this planet anymore.

[gundown26]

So this spawned a lot of anger within the gaming community huh?... Wonder which " gaming " community are they talking about?

[FPSMoses]

hahaha i laughed at the line.

[theonetheonlymiishe]

GABE NEWELL ATE THIER VOICEMAIL!!!

[Flamesofthunder]

They run a story about complaints because they didnt have any thing else.

Gamers probaly have a combined intellect than these so cold reporters.

[Syndicate1947]

Oh so your offended? Thats cool, no one cares anyway..

[Syndicate1947]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL

[Whiting1289]

The REAL question should be why this man is letting his 10 year old kid play an ADULT game....................

[Shad0w0wns]

@Whiting1289 lol it's not an adult game, its rated E for everyone

[Whiting1289]

@Shad0w0wns Hmmm... Must only be M(15+) in Australia...

[Shad0w0wns]

@Whiting1289 lol its not m(15+) in australia i live there too...

[diediekiller]

Do they realise that by making a report on this game they increase its' sales? ;P

[Poodleinacan]

...The girl is adopted AND has parents ... Unlike Chell, which her parents died from the neurotoxins ... Wheatley just fails at insulting... And Chell isn't adopted... Besides, Ratman is looking over her.

[sergio160]

The girl clearly doesn't give a fuck, she just wants to keep playing.

[Geared10k]

The scene is supposed to make wheatley look stupid, not to offend orphans.

[iamwesker90002]

I hope this guy gets raped. If you don't like something then don't fucking play it, its as easy as that. Just because your a moron dosnt mean others should not have the opportunity to enjoy what you don't like.

[Dayoldsushy]

I AM OFFENDED BY EVERYTHING!!!!

HUUUUUUUURRRRR DUUUUUURRRRRR

[BroadwayJosh]

I cannot believe the meaningless bullshit people get worked up over nowadays. My countrymen have got to be some of the stupidest and most bigoted people on Planet Earth.

[NihilusJK4]

Plus, at the end of the game Wheatley apologizes. And GLaDOS hates Chell for murdering her, so her taunting Chell is understandable.

Context, media, CONTEXT. You need to learn what that means.

[SonicsLittleHelper]

That's why in Europe where I live it's a 12.

[00SecretSmith]

but the whole point of the bit of dialogue is, its supposed to be a crap taunt

[ImDopeyCuhz]

lol seriously? they tripping about portal 2?

[jiberias]

The "news" station is apparently just trying very hard to fill some gap. I guess there wasn't something really good like a murder or a violent rape. Too bad for them. :(

[Tek307]

fat black bitch gtf off the internet

[OttersAreWin]

Kid doesn't even care. She's playing it almost the entire time and isn't even vaguely upset.

[TheTurtleKing100]

Educational??? have these people even played portal???

[MrLawlosaurus]

SO MUCH IGNORANCE IT HURTS

[WarriorPrinny]

this FATE!

[ember1k]

Jesus! People need to get OVER IT? why are people so sensitive these days?

[ShadowMasterLuigi]

maybe you should check out the game before letting your kid play it next time

[IMNOTAMUSED1]

Wait a sec the adopted father just called her chinese and said she looks different to us so now the adoptive father is saying chinese are different but nobody cares why becuase his voice doesnt carry weight valves game does valve has power he doesnt 

[ArcTicMonkey19]

the dialogue in this game was brilliant.

[PureCX]

Rated E minus O

[PureCX]

Lol a couple of dozen

[jaxona]

OH MY GOD GET OVER IT!!!!!!! Seriously, villains do things like this all of the time! They're supposed to to things like this, because they're evil!

[Roblok100]

Maybe that character was an antaganist and was supposed to be mean,dumb news agencies these days. Don't even report it.

[Roblok100]

Hah,NEWS.

[ProblemForSolution]

wow this is on NEWS? jesus...

[bomac77]

Man, its so simple. They were obviously doing it wrong. They were playing it on ps3, Yuck.

[videogames5196]

@bomac77 no

[TheUncannyX]

I love how they choose this line to complain about, but not GLaDOS' comment about how 'science has now rectified your mother's decision to abandon you on a doorstep.' That, and they ignore the 'fatty' comments? So joking about adoption is terrible, but making fun of people who are overweight is fine? Real class, Fox.

[deathwish10528]

listen if the kid made it through the rest of the game i think she has the mental capacity to push past a remark made by a videogame

[andyandcarl]

Portal 2 isn't for fucking kids. I do love how they rated it E though lol.

[vega375]

LOL the girl jest got owned by the video game LOL

[4ingP]

I wonder if the Chinese girl gave a shit.

[NeonTheChao]

Butthurt. Butthurt everywhere.

[IgnorantPCFanboys]

@NeonTheChao you are????

[GZF1]

wait wait wait... Fucking...seriously? ITS I FUCKING GAME! holy shit, this is what the media has turned into, i like how the bitch goes "did you hear that?" at 3:50. NO I DIDNT CUS YOU KNOW, THE SUBTITLES IN BRIGHT YELLOW WERE HARDLY NOTICEABLE lol omfg ITS. A. GAME. and out of ALLLL of the games out there, they chose portal to do a report on...PORTAL...its a great fucking game :'D

[AJThePwnapple]

Oh you have got to be fucking kidding me.

[Nvzman]

Really? REALLY? An evil villain, AN EVIL villain says a bad thing, and then they get all over it? WHAT THE F***!

[TheRandomAtheist]

Don't play the game if you have a problem trolls!

[RedSuperSonicNinja0]

Because Portal 2 is the first ever thing to make a adoption joke

[SharpFPShooter]

If they listened properly, GLADoS was saying that since he was trying to make fun of those who were adopted, she explained that Wheatley was adopted. Basically saying "You're adopted, so you're insulting yourself"

[MrSatternJr]

gabe newell is going to eat you idiots

[Charlie12241]

If you don't want your children to play violent games don't let them. Can we focus on REAL problems? We have a war, bad economy, gigantic debt and, crappy politicians screwing us.

[gigan55]

Im adopted and i honestley did not care at all....

[llKrrOniXz]

All I Can say is Those parents better not watch the news with their kids.

[llKrrOniXz]

I was wondering whether or not to like or dislike? I like the video but i dislike the idea behind it. Now im confused

[Jobes4packers]

To be honest it is just a joke

[Bouncer9000]

I don't get it......why are video games being brought up on the news? 

[redking345]

@Bouncer9000 cause the news need something to talk about so they target games. they did this with Mass Effect and other games

[Bouncer9000]

@redking345 *facepalm* That's just sad.

[element271]

Fucking hell, should I contact FOX because it called someone fatty and I am over weight? people are so stupid.

[IgnorantPCFanboys]

@element271 whats fox got to do with this?

[element271]

@IgnorantPCFanboys WETV, my mistake, I just automatically assume everything stupid is aired by fox.

[IgnorantPCFanboys]

@element271 naw, everything stupid is aired by violent video game fans

[element271]

@IgnorantPCFanboys Are you throwing yourself into that bandwagon as well?

[IgnorantPCFanboys]

@element271 i am not a violent video game fan. therefore, how could i join their bandwagon????

[element271]

@IgnorantPCFanboys Hmm.. I took your original comments as sarcastic, are you not a fan as you do not prefer violent video games or have a moral issue against it?

[IgnorantPCFanboys]

@element271 i think vlolent video games are harmful and unnecessary. please tell me how they benefit society

[element271]

@IgnorantPCFanboys Fried food is unnecessary and harmful, nothing has to be 100% beneficial to justify its existence. Without violence in video games there would be a lot less variety.

[IgnorantPCFanboys]

@element271 you still failed to show how these games benefit society

[TheEnchantedCereal]

@IgnorantPCFanboys

Yes, but he succeeded in explaining why they don't NEED to be, so your demand becomes moot.

Aside from this, one can quite easily see that, if people enjoy violent video games, then just from that, they are beneficial. Violent video games as a whole exist purely because. without conflict, any narrative text falls apart and becomes entirely dull and uninteresting. A game in which a person is not placed against actively hostile opponents instantly becomes a puzzle game.

[TheEnchantedCereal]

@TheEnchantedCereal Lacking the sense of urgency and threat of death that makes video games as a whole an exhilarating and engrossing medium, even when a particular title isn't decidedly narrative intensive. Furthermore, the real question isn't "Why should video games be allowed to be violent?" so much as "Why shouldn't they be" if the vast majority enjoy games with an element of combat, then why should it be held from them?

[TheEnchantedCereal]

@TheEnchantedCereal The only harm to come of it is when some lunatic fails to read between the lines of fantasy and reality and goes out kills someone. But that is an issue of the individual, and not of the game. You wouldn't blame the oven for a house fire. 

[IgnorantPCFanboys]

@TheEnchantedCereal so, using your logic, if somebody enjoys raping women, by all means, let them continue!

[TheEnchantedCereal]

@IgnorantPCFanboys

Are you comparing playing violent video games to raping women?

Are you comparing the act of slaying a set of complex digital coding to sexually violating a living, breathing human being?

Furthermore, are you ACTUALLY trying to invalidate my logic, by telling me that, if a man wanted to rape a woman, and he did indeed rape one, that he would not have come into benefit? As sickening as it is, when a person's actions comply with their desires, then said actions are beneficial-

[IgnorantPCFanboys]

@TheEnchantedCereal is there ever a case where violent games are inspirations for criminals? and did the victim benefit-as well?

[TheEnchantedCereal]

@IgnorantPCFanboys

There might be, results are a bit hazy on that. But regardless, if you'd actually taken my last comments in, you'd have realised that that was irrelevant. It comes down to what people are openly allowed to do to others, and not what inspirations they are allowed to take in. Remember, for every sicko that played ManHunt and killed a guy, there's at least 100 people who played the game and didn't. Should one psycho spoil the fun of at least 100 people?

[TheEnchantedCereal]

@IgnorantPCFanboys

- to at least that individual, the real issue is discussing whether a person is allowed to carry out their own desires if they involuntarily harm other human beings directly. It shouldn't take a genius to work out how the playing of violent video games parts itself from sexual predation in this way.

[element271]

@IgnorantPCFanboys Well @TheEnchantedCereal summed up my views pretty well, tell me how they don't in comparison with violent books, violent movies, history books and bible stories for that mater. All contain violence just presented in different manners.

[IgnorantPCFanboys]

@element271 and of those other media, which are first person, like the video games?

[element271]

@IgnorantPCFanboys What does the perspective have to do with it?

[Charlie12241]

@IgnorantPCFanboys Please tell us what you like so we can badmouth your hobby.

[IgnorantPCFanboys]

@Charlie12241 i collect compact discs. what harm could these do?

[NihilusJK4]

@element271 We all do.

[ChiverMatt]

wait wait wait. portal 2 was "educational"? it is a satirical puzzle game. not serious just fun.

[DeathlyHurtt]

She said it was rated 10 then says it's rated for everyone! The lil girl knows she is different from mom n dad! Plus it was said out of humor and not anger.. the other robot said that it's terrible! Wow people will find the smallest thing and blow it up!

[TheMysticCore]

...Are you fucking me?

[HolyR3b3l94]

wow this is the stupidest report everrr!!!!

[Esully7]

Gamers are angry! oh well, how many! Oh, A couple of dozen emails! well thats still a hand full i guess. Oh mostly from gamers, so not all. Well maybe they will interview someone. Oh a 40 year old guy with an adopted kid, how convenient.

[antoniohrv]

Thet is not kids video game FOR THET GAME YOU NEED A GRAIN AND THIS MAN HAVE NO BRAIN !!

[antoniohrv]

Portal 2 is awsome game !!

[allealle9090]

geez what is it whit peoples these days,it's just a freaking video game *geesh*

[TheRAPtorRAPer]

fuck. I no longer belive in god

[TheKnightsOfGaming99]

i have so many questions, but the one i have the most is why do they show the story twice in a row?

[ivan9066]

oh FOX NEWS,your funnier than COMEDY CENTRAL !!!

XD

[mrshorty13579]

WHO REALLY GIVES A FUCK?

[Baseballschaap]

What's funny is that the apparent "bad guy" (i haven't played the game)... insults the game's "hero"... thus the offensive use of "adopted!!!!" is used by the "evil" guy, and it shows to children that the ignorant pricks who will use it are amongst the "bad guys", and thus it will make them feel less offended i'm sure... which is actually good in my opinion

And in my experience children WILL go below the belt when they want to get to each other, they're children, and it's part of growing up...

[NJdaniels96]

You know she never did say what they were trying to accomplish

[TheStayPuffed]

o gabe.gabe gabe gabe

[MrAharvell1]

its not a kids game jesus christ 

[vitroslayer]

The fact that they bias they're opinions when they dont know the storyline makes me laugh. They obviously didnt know that the main character (chell) was adopted! Fox news is full of dumbasses.

[Wombat0H]

I wish i got a news story every time i was butthurt

[IgnorantPCFanboys]

@Wombat0H so you are saying that you get butthurt a lot?

[SoulParagon]

@Wombat0H Just to clear shit up, the dislikes are for Fox, not you.

[JNN187]

Worse things are said at schools anyways

[dammitnick]

well shit if everybody wasn't allowed to offend anybody then nothing would ever get done. shit dude get over it.

[that1dude0092]

....the fuck is this?

[TaylorHound]

wow they didn't add the part where GLaDoS said whats wrong with being adopted?

[TheRisky9]

If you noticed it was the bad guy everyone already knows is a jerk saying that. 

[MadSkeelz16]

The game says it once, i've heard it 5 times in this video now hahaha, are they really helping??

[101Snipeshot]

Wow...... This is dumb seriously. The game isn't insentive, some people are just too sensitive. Your gonna get offended by the freaking bad guy whose supposed to insult and say crap like that anyway? Really thats just pathetic. There is no cause for this.

[Mangaarmstrong1]

Boooooooo >=P

[TheMrbillsmith]

I don't get offended by any of this shit.

[makhail1630]

im adopted and im ok with the comment, and how many times is she gunna say he was playin it with his 10 yar ld adopted daughter

[nickONtheNET332]

IT WAS JUST WHEATLEY'S FAILED ATTEMPT AT GETTING INSIDE CHELL'S HEAD, I GUESS THAT FATHER FELL VICTIM TO WHEATLEY FAIL PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE

pardon my caps

[IgnorantPCFanboys]

@nickONtheNET332 thanks for attempting to get your point across by yeliing. it tells much about you gamers

[nickONtheNET332]

@IgnorantPCFanboys i said sorry about my caps they were enabled prior to me typing the comment

[IgnorantPCFanboys]

@nickONtheNET332 then go back and retype in lower case, it's not like you typed an entire book....

[tidusian]

@IgnorantPCFanboys I love how this uploader is bashing the gaming community and comments on the guy talking in capslock for being lazy and then calls him a stereotype, yet he himself has a name that says enough about his intellectual level: IgnorantPCFanBoys... Are you too "lazy" to think up a better name, or are you just a stereotyped retard who blames games for everything? I bet you are both, and even worse, a hypocrit

[IgnorantPCFanboys]

@tidusian what should i have called him? is this better: "person who plays games"? and what is wrong with my particular name? does what my nick says exist? how do you derive that i blame games for everything or are you just making blanket assumptions? and how am i a hypocrite?

[tidusian]

@IgnorantPCFanboys You have answered all your questions in your previous comments, and if you are to blind to see that, then that is sad. Be a bit more original.

[Rikezify]

Wheatly is the character in portal 2 who is supposed to be the dumbest idiot on the planet. The game even says so. Plus he´s the bad guy, so really the game doesnt make fun of adopted people. Its just an idiot who does a stupid thing.

[timocoolful]

Not for the 10 year old girl but the tv station !

[timocoolful]

Wheatley was designed to be an idiot and they fell for it! DAMMIT!!!

[sabAPN]

I laughed my ass off at that part of the game

[alphex1000]

fuck this seriously! 

[TheKingstermation]

It's called dark humor. That's what makes Portal great, and that's one of the things Portal is known for.

[pickledparsleyparty]

At least this one isn't very heavy on the anti-gaming rhetoric. Fox more or less keeps their opinion out of this one (except for the melodrama from the woman in the middle).

I've always wondered if developer PR departments are ever responsible for stories like these. It's always the major releases that are lambasted, and the stories are so full of shit that nobody involved can possibly be serious.

[pickledparsleyparty]

@pickledparsleyparty Oops, I just realized this isn't Fox. That might be why it doesn't completely reek of bullshit.

[D3athD3fy]

a couple of dozen emails means alot of anger from the gaming community????????

[D3athD3fy]

OH BULLSHIT

[MrDumpitout]

Well I found it to be quite funny.

[pwait5025]

lol so funny

[MisterAAnderson]

Err xD.... Moving right along...

[superburnout280]

gamers are funny

[IgnorantPCFanboys]

@600krissi600 and what does fox news have to do with this particular video?

[Gamenerd66]

@IgnorantPCFanboys Its not fox news its WBTV

[IgnorantPCFanboys]

@Gamenerd66 i know that and you know that but apparently these "blinded by games" people cannot see that!

[DatDamnMegaBustah]

Make fun of adopted children=HELL NO!!! Obviously the computer thing dislikes the robot, and thus made of him/it by stating that it's adopted and that he shouldn't be grateful. It's a joke. God I HOPE these guys DO NOT reach Ratchet and Clank...

[liveyoungdiefast91]

I like how the stupid fucking news channel doesn't show GLaDoS responding "What's wrong with being adopted? And she's not even fat, look at her, you moron." NO CONTEXT. Retards.

[satinsguard]

@liveyoungdiefast91 Total bias at it's finest.

[JustSomeRandomGuy92]

WTF I'm adopted and had no problem with a scene..grow up fox news. I'm sure the outrage of the gaming community they spoke of was sensationalized. ALOT OF ANGER FROM THE GAMING COMMUNITY, we've got a COUPLE OF DOZEN EMAILS.

OH so 24 ppl what is that 0.00000000000001% of the gaming community? ITS AN OUTRAGE

[UnloadedGun]

@IgnorantPCFanboys sorry, I meant Hell > ABC news

[IgnorantPCFanboys]

@UnloadedGun wow, you're an idiot

[itachily]

This is why Valve can't make episode 3.

[TheMIniGore]

Good luck contacting Valve lol. They have to wait for a while

[FreelancerKez]

They should send an email to Gabe.

[christon0123]

huh? it is a joke that is meant to be ridiculous. grow a pair

[AL2009man]

5:24 you can also Call Electronic Arts, Inc. (EA) too! they also publish Valve's game as Rentail! :P

[Thiefenz]

Ironically enough, isn't making a big deal about it going to make her feel different? Not to bash the father or anything.

[granko43]

they need to continue the clip

[steppinonrazor77]

YEP, the whole game is offencive just because of that one scene.

What about this 4:00

"She's Chinese, she doesn't look like us."

ASSHOLES!!!! Lets make a giant fucking segment about some dickhead father.

[themanofthehour4]

Anything > Fox

[IgnorantPCFanboys]

@themanofthehour4 really? i kinda like the simpsons..

[TehLittleHermitCrab]

Wheatly is so rude, isn't he?

He, he is a horrible, isn't he?

So, this father, is angry, is he?

Mmm, I see.

So, because he doesn't know how to tell his daughter about her being adopted, he has to go call up valve.. ok.. I think she could handle it just fine, though...

[ThisHaloFan]

Now they're attacking Portal? D:

What the fuck can gamers play that doesn't receive criticism?

[elijahownsall]

"We felt compared to share their view on the story" LEARN TO SPEAK BITCH
