First impressions of the introduction (from a European)

[stoner7]

I'll ignore selis' anti-American and anti-Christian diatribe. I would like to state my opinion on the tutorial scenario.

The elements of building could have been presented without the Death Row scenario. That is, just build a cell block, including a foundation and utilities. This has all the construction elements of the scenario without the controversial elements of capital punishment. It would have been a more complete tutorial as well.

I live in Texas, the "killingest" state in the USA. That we Americans condone state-sanctioned murder is abhorrent to me. But that is a discussion for another time, another place.

They could have been, but IV have long stated that (a) the campaign will be fleshed out more in the future, likely providing a more extensive tutorial, and (b) IV clearly want the player to wrestle with their role in the prison system, and the role of prisons in society. With respect to the first point, see this short film---the tutorial should be part of the game, and is improved by being a part of a compelling scenario, such as an execution.

Cut the jingoism. It is unattractive, and makes you look stupid.

Just doing every American's duty. Can't let the OP say **** about America now, can we. Big trucks, big guns, big freedom.

I'm an American. I do not consider it my duty to be an ass. Would you kindly shut the fuck up, please? You are making the rest of us look bad, and perpetuating a negative stereotype about Americans in general.

Conquest, considering that almost all 11 of your posts mention 'guns', 'cars', and 'freedom', perhaps you should consider joining a more politically orientated forum to express your opinions?

To the creator of the thread, I don't mean any disrespect but [peter griffin] OMG WHO THE HELL CARES[/peter griffin]

Yes, yes, we are all so tragic individuals that we failed at being born in the US and choosing not to move there, although I think I might miss the excellent healthcare system we have over here, or the added safety that comes through firearm sales regulations as well as restrictions to our cars... I might miss the clean air that comes with being the world's forerunner in environmental protection or the general feeling of openness towards other cultures which can be quite interesting once you get to know them a little. Also, we can say what we want without being arrested too, and we mostly don't even have to fear being shot by the guy next door because he might not like what we say.

And I'm terribly sorry to bust another one of your bubbles - the largest part of the internet and indeed the one you are using to broadcast your opinion is the World Wide Web, which was actually invented by europeans: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_World_Wide_Web

I agree with you on the point that our system over here is not perfect, but the US isn't either. I for one am proud to be european.

Science this seems to be going nowhere, i'm a giant fish and i'm proud of it.

I am usually passive about some comments about Americans. But I am kind of offended by this as an American...

It is a little offending, but I've seen worse.
