From GTA to Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, The 5 Games That Were Considered Too Offensive

Games are often treated as a means of passing time and as a hobby. Some play games to relax and others to have new experiences. But there are certain games that, instead of helping players chill, have made them react the opposite, or so it is considered. Games like Bully, GTA, and Call of Duty are considered some of the most offensive AAA games out there. 

Games are digital art and just like the art world, the Gaming scene is also filled with controversial and offensive pieces. A game can become offensive in many ways. If a game uses unnecessary explicitness or if they hurt the sentiment of a group of people are some of the many reasons which label a game as offensive. So without further ado let’s dive into some of the games that are considered to be offensive.

5. Conker’s Bad Fur day

Conker’s Bad Fur Day is considered one of the best games for the Nintendo 64. But at the same time, it is one of the most controversial too. The game is developed by Rareware and had an M- rating which was very rare for the console.

The cartoony art style may give the vibe that this game is for children, but the gore, explicit language, and Sexual references are far too inappropriate for the younger audience. This offended the parents a lot. 

4. Postal Series

Since the beginning, the Postal series has been controversial. The entire premise of the game is to go around and murder people. The players control a character who uses different ways and weapons like guns, bombs, and rocket launchers to horrifically kill people. The over-the-top gore and violence made the game face a lot of backlash. 

3. Manhunt

2. GTA

Talking about offensive games, mentioning Gran Theft Auto is inevitable. Rockstar’s biggest game franchise, GTA, is known to be very offensive by many.

Ever since the release of GTA 3, the series has faced a lot of controversies for its depiction of murder, gang activities, and even sexual content. The franchise is known to be adult-oriented but sometimes the younger audience is exposed to the game, which is very damaging according to their parents. 

1. Modern Warfare 2 

The original Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 game from 2009 had a very spicy campaign mission called “No Russian”. In this mission, the players have to go in undercover as Russian Terrorists and shoot at innocent civilians at an airport. This was completely optional, but the audience didn’t take it very well. The game got massive backlashes and bad receptions due to this controversial segment.
