What\'s With the Grotesqueness of Twised Metal: Black?
« on: July 09, 2001, 03:35:22 PM »
Seriously. I was watching the movies and was uite surprised by the incredible demented minds who created this game. The stories are so gross at times that my dad came in (an adult grown man), and even he cringed in horror. What\'s the message they\'re sending out. Of course, it is an adult game, but even a lot of adults don\'t want to watch that crap...you know? I love the gameplay, but it was just sick (the movies I mean). Outlaw had the only story that made you feel sad. When I unlocked Minion, his character was just plain nasty. Haven\'t seen his ending yet, though (and I\'m sure it\'s the worst). I\'m blabbering sorry. But I was just shocked at the transformation of this game from the cartoon ending days. Tell me what ya\' think.

Well I loved the movies, I went through all the movies, except for Minion, I wonder if they have an ending movie for him...

I don\'t think the movies are bad, maybe some of them go to the extreme, I love SweetTooths movies. The preacher was cool also.

I think this game rocks, playing this game late at night, while a nasty storm is brewing outside, and you get to hear SweetTooths truck play its it\'s little tune, wow. :D

oh hell yeah!  ok, I’m biased completely towards this game, all of the above is my "Opinion" of course.

It is there for shock value more than anything in the more extreme cases, but there was nothing to cringe at...

Yeah, Bloody Mary\'s story was really screwed up.  

I also like Crazy 8\'s driver (can\'t remember his name).  His ending scene was funny, as well as disturbing.

One movie where that guy bludgeoned his wife with an axe cause she was cheating on him with that pilot. That was very extreme IMO, teaches little kids that if yo girl cheats on you, hack her to pieces.
I would never censor the movies, or any games though.

Yeah, it\'s a preety freaky game.  I was shocked at the movies as they were disturbing, but it\'s cool!  It\'s no Rayman that\'s for sure.  It\'s an amazing dark themed game.  Life isn\'t always a bed of roses, sometimes you get **** on.  Twisted Metal Black aint no Brady Bunch!

Well I think TMB was money well spent, totally enjoyable, and positively shocking.

I was thinking about posting this very same topic today after seeing junkyard dog\'s middle story.  I love the game dont get me wrong but there is a line.  Hacking your wife to pieces for ANY reason is taking a hop skip and a jump waaay over that line.  Also watching cops beat Sweet Tooth and him smiling is a great scence but just a wee bit excessive.

It gives the game some personality, though.  Personally I\'m extremely glad that TM: B is as violent as it is.  Such a characteristic sets it a part from other games.

I think we have now reached a point where games and media will inspire stupid kids to kill. This kind of sick stuff just scares me.

The horror that this kind of brutality uts in me is just scary. All the endings and stories are around like revenge and stuff. The old ones were better, like in TM2, as was the game itself.

That\'s okay... Silent Hill 2 is just around the corner "to brighten our days" :D

Picture this: Dave finds an available seat for his \"Aggressive Drivers Anonymous\" encounter group session.   Saying, \"Hello\" he sits amongst his support group of S2K owners...  Smiling, they rock ever-so-gently to and fro in their chairs...humming peacefully...drinking coffee...and rolling little AutoArt & Maisto S2000s across their knees.  At this moment, the group responds in unison, \"Hi, w1ngman!\" :D

It doesn\'t TEACH kids anything - if a kid watches that and decides to hack down his girlfriend then there is something wrong with a)the kid himself and b)the way he was brought up. To say that behaviour is caused or taught by watching a violent act is something good old Liberman would say. I watched tons of violent movies when I was growing up and I\'ve never killed anyone.

Besides, little kids shouldn\'t be playing the game anyway since it\'s rated M.
