So the town of Juarez, and Mexico in general, is not in the best state. In 2010, 3,075 homicides took place. Juarez now has a homicide rate of 229 killing per 100,00 inhabitants. Compare that to the 6.3 of my city (New York) and you can see how bad it is. Massive conflicts between drug cartels has lead to violence that is now spilling over into the United States
 
So when a game gets announced that takes place in Los Angeles, CA and Juarez, Mexico, it makes me feel a bit uneasy. Can a video game whose main gameplay mechanic consists of shooting people be capable of approaching this issue with the sensitivity and tacitness Juarez deserves? Forgive me for being skeptical, but I highly doubt it.  
 
However, we have no way of knowing what tone the story will take, although Ubisoft does promise "an immersive and mature story" with a "very gritty and relevant plot."  
 
Well, I guess we will see how it all turns out, but what is your take on all of this?

Providing a link to a news story about this might be useful. 

I can't be the only one who's very sceptical when a publisher speaks about "an immersive and mature story"?

It'll probably make some headlines at release , but like with RE5, it'll probably subside without any effect on the industry.

And, no offence, I almost read "Call of Jayross".

Wow, that was quick.

No surprise there

A lot of towns that are south of the border in Mexico are filled with murders, killings, torture, etc. The Cartels pretty much run a lot of the towns down there. The plot might be relevant, but I wouldn't expect more than a big action movie with some plot twists.

Yeah I saw this on Telemundo.It seems only natural.Seeing as it is one of the most dangerous places in the world.
