: when you're working for that mexican dude who owns the diner, and he says he wants all the Haitian scum bags dead, Tommy, you hear me? Those Haitian dogs! I WANT THEM DEAD!!! Then when you get to the alley way and warehouse the little instructions at the bottom say KILL ALL THE HAITIANS
: Not that I think they should apologize for this, but that's what the Haitians were so upset about. My question is, the ganes been out forever, why'd it take them so long to get upset?
But i'd be lying if i didn't say i didn't start laughing at the memory. In the statement issued, Rockstar said they felt it was taken out of context which is why i didn't remember something specificly wrong. In that part of the game it makes sense for a line like that.
I hope they change the line to something like, " Kill all those opposing gang members who are trying to take our lives as well, but not for any racially motivated reasons even though they are all coincedentally of Haitian decent. Remember, men, these gentlemen however are not indicative of the quality and caliber of the people of Haiti. Nay, they are a blite on their own race, and we are doing the beautiful Haitian community a service by removing these villians' chances of further besmerching their proud people's good name."
Rockstar really should do that just to be dicks then i'd fall in love with them all over again.
