1) Disney doesn't want the game to simply become a firefight free-for-all and loose their rating.
2) The code is used on the fiction side to keep the confrontations between pirates and the Navy from becoming outright war. Remember the timeline for the game is set BEFORE Beckett's War on Piracy. |

Saw Jack Sparrow used a gun and SHOT someone in a video game trailer.
Video Game: Pirates of the Caribbean At world's End. See around 0:24-0:27 Last edited by Sven Niscadae; 11-12-2010 at 09:58 PM.. Reason: Unapproved Link |

Disney has prevented this from happening, for two main reasons, in my opinion. Firstly, if we could shoot everything in sight, virtually every pirate would be unstoppable. If I could load my Blunderbuss with rank 5 steel shot, run up to Neban the Silent and defeat him in three shots, heck yes I would. But that ruins the challenge, doesn't it? Secondly, shooting in video games is already a very, very, VERY controversial thing. If you don't think that game companies have to deal with dozens of complaints that their kids have become "more violent than usual" because of a game, oh how wrong you are. In some cases, things may escalate to local... then regional.. and sooner or later, NATIONAL attention. Then here come the lawsuits, lawsuits backed up by other lawsuits, and continuous amounts of money being lost by that game company. I don't know if any of you remember the incident that went on with the Grand Theft Auto games a while back, but rest assured, Disney will take no chances in letting anything relatively close to that happening in their realm of ultra happiness. If, forbid it, that anything occurs with a gun involved, and that kid just so happens to play a game that now allows you to shoot everything, made by Disney... the media will have a field day. Quote:

I got an idea. how about we give guns a huge advantage at long range, but make them suck at close range, and make them more inaccurate, because the whole point of a gun is to shoot them before they get close. this would remove any huge advantage of having a gun, plus our enemy's have guns to.
I dont know what you guys are saying about the violence affecting kids minds. there would be no gore, plus if we have maul them with our other weapons, why cant we use guns to? if is a pirate game, well duh there is going to be shooting and violence. thats what pirates do. its not our fault that some parent would let a 5 year old play a E 10+ game, so why should we suffer, for lack of a better word.

Because this is Disney, and Disney does not make video games that are too violent. People in the real world that you and I live in use guns, and shoot people. Shooting people is bad. If DISNEY has a game where you can shoot people, that sends a bad message. They are a company more directed to children, even though there are adult players. Just because a bunch of teens and/or adults want us to be able to use guns, doesn't mean they should allow it. Using guns will make parents complain, I'm sure. Thats my 2 cents.

every thing hould be able to shoot everyone
But my point is, we are allowed to slice them, impale them, burn them, curse them, explode them, and on and on and on, but we cant shoot them. if they dont want to game to be violent, why did they make rage ghost, who can kill masses of players?

I don't think anybody has a voodoo doll that can burn people.... or a grenade just lying around...
What I'm saying is is that the pistol is a realistic and real life scenario, D does NOT want to be sued for having players being able to shoot people and having that action influence real life actions. |

There are policies set in place so that consumers can't sue for actions they think were caused by playing a video game. There are thousands of violent video games out there today, and every once in a while some weirdo will do something in real life that they did in the game. Can they sue? No, because it's them doing the crime, not the game. That's why there are ratings put on games, to keep people from being influenced by games. That's why game makers strongly encourage parents not to buy M rated games for a six year old boy, because he's not mature enough yet to understand that what you do in a game is not something you do in real life. Anyways, simply put, POTCO doesn't need gore. We don't need to see navy getting shoot, besides, in the movies there's the pirate code where navy and pirates won't shoot each other. If you haven't seen the movies, then it's confusing to you, but if it'si n the movies, I understand why it's in the game, too. |

And Davy's point is that shooting is realistic. Sure, while you can go out there and buy a sword or something and go hacking away at people with it, it is not common. Grenades? You're not going to find those very easily either. A voodoo doll and a staff? Please, I don't think many of us are going down to New Orleans to find one of those and throw fire at our enemies, which, in the voodoo we have in this world, is completely far fetched. It's different than finding Daddy's hunting gun and thinking, 'Hey! I've used this on Pirates! I know how to use this!' and then causing an accident. That is why we don't shoot people. They're being proactive.

You know, to tell the truth I don't exactly mind not being able to shoot them. It never bothers me. Only time the code ever bothers me is during a Muertos Moon, when I'm undead and wanting to shoot a living guy. Otherwise it doesn't bother me

its pretty simple
1 a sword who has one of those laying around in reach of children 2 dagger dangerous everyone has knives in the kitchen but looks to difficult to do so not replicated as often for that reason 3 voodoo doll you can get one but it doesn't do anything 4 grenade very hard to get 5 same as voodoo doll 6 gun found in many houses seams easy to replicate easy to get very easy for it to get out of hand in reach of small children or (in the case of handguns) it would have no purpose so u can see shooting the undead thats nothing they aren't alive not something someone would replicate also the trailer lied many times ignore it. |

^You seem to be thinking of all the worst case scenarios, and that's assuming that the 'child' around these objects isn't old enough to understand right from wrong.
By ten years old, most kids know right from wrong. A game can't be held responsible for the actions someone does in real life. |
