    To be fair, if releasing crap like this means the games industry is immature, then so is the music industry. Heck, so is the film industry. Or any other entertainment industry you can imagine.

    In the end people will buy this well marketed turd because it's not too difficult to convince anyone that this is actually awesome.

    I mean, to like 50 cent in the first place requires you to suspend any shred of taste in music or people. He is the definition of commercial. If it will make him a buck he will put his name on Vitamin Water. His lyrics are misogynistic and about nothing.

    It's certainly not the only industry to exploit the retarded, it's just that when it does, it makes everything else look dumber by association.

    Basically, every game has an audience. It just happens that the target buyers are all retards in this case, but so be it.
    Fuck, how do you think Nascar and the mindless bullshit on MTV are successful? Retards.

    This will come out the same day as a Kanye West game, and 50 will challenge him that his will cell more copies or else he will retire. Of course he will lose, but sell more in the Ukraine so he'll say he won on a technicality.
    Because the Ukraine is weak.

    I guess that's my biggest problem.

    I am supposed to walk into shops that sell this kind of stuff?

    I don't really care if people think I am a geek (that ship has long since sailed) but I know that people exist that can't see the difference between this and Shadow of the Colossus, Bioshock or Halflife. Tripe like this gives those people fodder to act condescending towards me, and I resent it because of it.

    Yup, same here. But I think that's just how it'll be until there's more people around who can treat the games industry with the same credibility that other mediums have already earned.

    Problem with this...is that can be said about any form of entertainment. I may not like the game(though I will admit the shit will be bangin' yo), but simply put there are people who will buy it...just like people bought Bulletproof...and just like people bought that Hannah Montana game.

    Celebrities sell games...just like celebrities sell everything, and really...I don't see how this will give people a reason to act condescending to you. I mean I was able to buy games just fine when Bulletproof came out, and most of the time I was busy making fun of my friends who'd actually bought the game.

    tl:dr Celebrities sell, no big deal.

    I had completely forgotten about this until now.

    That stirred something deep within me; a half-lost memory submerged in the depths of time.

    It should have stayed there.

    Lewie, if people give you shit about these types of games, just point out that if they watch films, then they are responsible for films like Big Momma's House getting a sequel. I mean, one example of a medium must represent the whole, right?

    OK maybe I'm failing really hard at English right now but about that vitamin water:

    no hoods

    WTF is that supposed to mean? And why is "Just" the only word that's capitalized?
