Lol someone managed to find Portal 2 offensive

I can't say I can relate to what he is feeling, but I can tell that they are making a mountain out of a molehill. Really, those jokes were only used to characterize the villian. Just as GLaDOS continuously calls Chell fat even though it's obvious she isn't, the 'adopted' jokes were written only to show that GLaDOS is using something innocent that Chell herself had no control over to insult her. The jokes aren't used to actually make fun of adopted people but to show how ridiculous and heartless the jokester is.

They're taking this way too seriously.

Did they miss the part where GLaDOS is a bitch and Wheatley's a moron? Why are they putting so much stock in anything they say? Also, they're both villains. That right there tells you that anything they say/do is automatically wrong until proven otherwise, at least from the simplified, black and white point of view you might use when using a fictional story to teach a child anything about morality.

Besides, it's not like that was the first adoption joke in the game, right? Actually, there was at least one in the first game. Wasn't that one a fair warning? Or did we just skip over the first game and jump right into its continuation with no context to the story? </pet peeve>

It offends me that they were so offended.

Now I only want you gone.

I love how the morons claimed that Sony was passing the buck. Obviously it's Sony's fault... even though the game is distributed on the Xbox and on PC as well.

I'd call them retarded but I don't want to insult those with mental disabilities by comparing them with newscasters.



Edit: And I feel bad for the girl playing. The game got shut off and she was almost DONE with the solo campaign!

I knew someone who be pissed when hearing the joke, but I thought it was hilarious. I am not adopted, though.

Okay...this is my biggest problem with the game rated E10+...people automatically assume it's for children. (That and the fact that it's a video game!) The only reason it's rated that is because there's nothing wrong with it except for a little violence and cussing. The first game had blood in it, which bumped it up to Teen, but for some reason they decided to take the blood out and make it E10+.

But the people who rate the game didn't take the jokes into context. There is a lot of dark humor in both games such as the AIs both glibly talking about killing Chell.

That is the only part that they were offended by? What about the earlier part where GlaDOS promises to reunite you with your parents but then laughs at you when you turn up in an empty room. Or the part where she calls them only to have them tell you that they don't want to talk to you.

I replayed the level and literally right after that sentance, GLaDOS says "What is wrong with being adopted?"
