I have an interesting question on this. Will HAITIANS that are into video games, especially these types of games DECLINE to play this game?

What do you think Haitianone?

After looking closely with game's content, I think it paints a horrific picture of Haitians big time. At the same time, there are many gamers I notice do not mind the negative perceptions at all. Actually, its an honor for them to focus on Haiti like that. I am puzzled then again lets face it the people behind this game made sure they did not use reference GTA used and they also took a lot of the theme from the news.

This is a lesson for some of us, please look closely how we are making our country look.

H1,

Thanks for bringing this up! I probably would have never heard of this in a while now if I did not read it here.

XX,

Are you reading my story, I hope you read that the people I met are not suffering from any pride deprevation.

Have you lost your faith in your country? In the people? Or is it the fact you simply cannot seperate corporate greed with reality? Wink Wink Wink

Bro, Have some more faith, ok! Embarassed

Why Haitians are to blame for this and not those doing it?

Now, I hope some demagogue would go after these people for portraying these folks in those lights as much as they are trying to stop the making of Toussaint Louverture's movie. I wonder which one is more prone to hurt Haiti's image? Arrow

I wish I could bash these people but reality is if you look closely at this game, they took a lot of the themes from the ongoing media reports and photographs.

They were very careful but like on person told me, sure it may not be pretty but trust him it will make Cite Soleil and Bel Air icons for this game because to those folks just like the GTA game, the Haitians are programmed to be faster, more violent, and more trecherous.

The only good thing is there is no reference of killing the haitians but you are still killing them in the game.

Yeah, the one in Miami where they had a bunch of thugs in Little Haiti with Mambo telling them to do bad stuf. There was a portion in the game where Cuban hitmen where asked to kill all the Haitians in Little Haiti. That was a major commotion and a suit was filed but as of right now the GTA changed the game a little but Haitians are still being killed in the game.


This game no statements about killings Haitians but trust me Haitian people are like animals or inotherwords zombie. The backdrop of this game is definitely Cite Soleil.
