Blogging the experience of gameplayhttps://www.gamelog.cl/gamers/GamerPage.php?idgamer=1233https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=4239I finally past the cafeteria and started figuring out how to blow it up. This game to me was completely a waste of my time and energy. I don't even think that the topic of the game was an appropriate thing to make a game about. The interaction with innocent people and hurting them was not morally acceptable in my opinion as this event was something that truly affected the lives of hundreds of parents in the Columbine High School. I also did not appreciate the fact of having to see a CD with a naked women on it clearly to me was by far extremely inappropriate. If the person would have done something right they would not have reenacted such a tragic event. It would be like creating a game called September 11 with the thousands that have died in the tragedy. Games like this do not belong being created due to there suggestive nature of content.Sun, 16 May 2010 19:16:43 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=4239&iddiary=7900https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=4239I decided to replay the game and still could not plant the bombs in the cafeteria. I want to get into the game more and see more about its portrayal of events and how the game maker is trying to share his meaning with the audience. The text is still nearly impossible to read that I misinterpret its meetings. This game clearly is beginning to get boring and the ethical dilemmas in this game appears not to be very prevalent. I expected that this game would automatically have some sense of action such as shooting people but then again I may not be that far enough to where this actually happens. I also find the music to be extremely obnoxious in the game as it continuously loops and completely does not fit the games title one bit and the music is to upbeat for me.

I played the game for quite a while but found myself stuck in the cafeteria not knowing what I was supposed to be doing so my experience with it so far is it seems very difficult to accomplish anything in the beginning.I really find the 8-bit use of graphics a tad bit difficult to deal with in the game and makes everything look so blocky including the text. In addition to the text being hard to read which was what the game I thought should be more clear as it seems so important to the meaning behind the game I did not mind the 8 bit approach to the other graphical elements but this day and age there honestly is not an excuse for a so far to me poorly designed game. The controls are easy to use but its not very good on explaining where to go and I personally wish that there was a map. I feel that this game definitely has some potential if the designers could help with the explanation with what is going on. I like the fact that there are no penalities when you get caught by a hall monitor. I feel as if so far that just being kicked out of the building and being able to redo the mission is very fair instead of having to redo the entire game.Fri, 14 May 2010 20:30:46 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=4239&iddiary=7892https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=4213Played this game this morning and started to get the hang of the confusing controls. I managed to start on a few missions but consistently failed on all of them. There is a mixture of good and wrong going on in this game clearly. Its so easy to kill people when you end up stealing the vehicle leaving people ultimately defenseless. You do not get money apparently if you kill the people this way. And when you are driving the police tend to always be after you making this game difficult to complete any mission. I also saw an inappropriate weapon in the shower. This game brought a lot of controversy and I am not likely to play it again. I purely hated this games take on life cause not all life is gangs and killing cops in reality. This game deserved its flat out apparent high rating and this game clearly shows way to much violence. There was so many houses and people that appeared to live in poverty. I hated the fact that you had to do so much evil and there was no story to this game apparent yet. I noticed the stereotyping of gangs that American's portray which clearly to me is racial discrimination. Most of the people all had knifes and were hookers and a lot had guns. It was never safe to actually do anything in this game which is prevalent to a lot a city living. (This entry has been edited1 time.

I ended up taking a different approach and looking at the ethnicity of everyone in the game happened to primarily be Hispanics and African Americans. It was extremely prevalent that when I went buy certain ethnic groups that I was the target and when I walked by people of my own ethnicity there were not so many attacks. I also came to notice that when you went around the community that going towards certain parts were better than others and there seemed to be more of an upscale group of people. I noticed in the game that there were tons of prostitutes and clearly a lot of hookers as well. I ended up killing them as they tended to provide the most amount of money. I clearly felt that there was ideally no point to playing this game other than to end up hurting everybody else and clearly was not like most games I have played which had a better storyline. In the beginning of the game I noticed that the main character did not even want to go back to his home community and the police picked him up and ended up handcuffing him and taking him somewhere and just left him there. In the game clearly I ended up dying time and time again and arrested over and over again as I clearly hated the police in the game and would attempt to kill them. Ideally I think this game is not that great and it invokes a very strong emotion in me that clearly strikes as not an ethical game. The racism is so prevalent here and the fact that just people killing day in day out without any safety begins to seem like a reality of some places.Sat, 17 Apr 2010 23:41:37 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=4213&iddiary=7843https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=4213Was playing this game for almost an hour and a half learning just the mechanics of the game play. I ended up learning to drive but could not complete any of the missions which really got me frustrated and I ended up having to quit with the frustration as I kept dying over and over again. Clearly I was always the target in this highly controversial game. I will try again tomorrow to complete some missions but I have no clue were to even begin.I really was hoping for something better in a game. I ideally thought the graphics were alright but seriously all it is is killing for money and stealing cars and abusing the police. I honestly do not get the clear point of this game as of yet. On the side note personally this game is very inappropriate even from the beginning. I hope to see more of this game and not feel as if I clearly wasted money on this game for no apparent reason.Fri, 16 Apr 2010 22:34:20 CSThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=4213&iddiary=7834
