Homefront Easter Egg's

[Mr.Game]

From Genuine Gamers, link here.

There were 'easter eggs' found in Homefront that are
quite disturbing (to say the least).

I'm not sure about anyone else, but this leads me to
think twice about buying Homefront.

I'd like to hear everyone else's thoughts/opinions.

The videos just add onto the effect of the game, it doesn't upset me at all, and I don't know why anybody would be offended by this except the North Koreans.

Homefront really did its work in this game. Can be disturbing, but I see it more as a Shock-and Discuss method by the company to spark more publicity and discussion about the game. Someone needs to remind me what game it was (MW2?) where you actually played as a terrorist shooting airport hostages, but that was the same thing. A lot of people got upset about it, saying it would make people into terrorists, but I saw it again as Shock-And-Discuss advertising and publicity by the developer.

Don't know why this would force you to think twice about the game as it doesn't detract from the game's playability. If anything, it provides additional breadth to the background of the game (which some reviewers complained about wasn't enough).

Fixed my OP.

I received the info from an email, and I didn't
realize to quote it.


I do agree that it adds the extra ambiance or
effect to the game.

Reading through the comments to this on other
forums/news sites, there are people that seem
upset about it, and others that don't care.

Everyone has their own opinion, that's exactly
why I wanted to forward this here.

So in 2020 korea will attack the US?
Cool, i guess.

I liked it. Little touches like the real life videos give Homefront some interesting publicity. Could have had more effect on the playerbase if it was in the game, but oh well.

I thought they worked quite well. Sure the suicide bomber one is a little over the top, but it still helps to paint the picture. Best one is the Pledge though.
