Anti-Game Super-Nazis.

[MurderousToaster]

Have you noticed these people? It seems like they make a huge thing of games being 'Too violent and innapropriate for youngsters.', attempt to murder the industry, then turn off the hate machine only to turn it back on later and, yet again, whine about how innapropriate games are for young people. They say things about how it's poisining the minds of children, making them think violence is all right. We have ratings for a bloody reason, and if parents want their children to have an 18+ rated game, go ahead, it's not your choice, Super-Nazis. I've been gaming for years and, whilst it has made me frustrated at times, I have never had the urge to mimic Marcus Fenix and slice my Maths teacher in half, or do a Niko Bellic and rob someone of their car, then back over them (we all did it, let's be honest), and I believe that if a child does get urges to do these things, the last place they should be is in their home, with a machine and a television. You know where they should be? A mental institute.

They're obviously wrong that people learn behaviour from playing video games, because if video games have taught us anything by now, it should be how to defeat Super-Nazis.

Can you not notice these people? They're on every television station at least once a month bitching about it.

Mass Effect's "sex controversy" was a good example of the idiocy of these people, who ***** and whine about games without having played them at all.

Also, learn to paragraph. Or at least linebreak.

I know how to paragraph, don't be a dick. Where I live, it's 7 in the morning, and I'm tired. You seem to think that I care about paragraphing.


The 'sex controversy' was ridiculous. There was almost no nudity whatsoever, and yet people wanted it gone for being innapropriate, despite James Bond having anywhere between one to three sex scenes in each movie. Not like I'm trying to get James Bond gone, just using it as an example.

Easy. Tell them that if they don't shut up, we'll knock down their wind farms and make an oil refinery.

These people are everywhere even gamers are like that. I know heaps of people who say something is bad because they dont have it or just have some gripe with it.

You are preaching to the choir... but yeah, we all hate em

 

[AtticusSP]

I can understand why they fear things they don't understand, But I do hate it when they make no attempt to learn about it.

 

[Wargamer]

You mean people like this?

In most cases I hate them.


Except when they talk about Rockstar games. I refuse to defend Rockstar games.

If God of War 3 gets any controversy I won't defend them either. They actually had the balls to claim their screenshots were too violent to be released. Thats just a shameless way to try and get controversy.

Why? Because of the content of their games, or because you don't like playing the games, or because you don't like the developers themselves, or what?

 

[Khazoth]

Rockstar does shit on purpose to get attention from the news. Maybe I can read between all the bullshit they put out but it just seems to me that the Rockstar development process is..

Make a game.

Make it controversial

Profit.

Can anyone say that Manhunt and Manhunt 2 was anything other then an attempt to get media attention for free advertising?


I mean, violence and sex is perfectly fine. Mass Effect did sex tastefully, it was apart of the story. Fallout 3's violence felt appropriate, I mean its the nuclear fucking apocalypse I assume its going to be a very bloody, very violent place. Its when a developer uses controversy as a free marketing tool that I abandon them entirely.

 

[not a zaar]

They are pretty much real life trolls and you are only giving them what they want by paying attention to them and discussing them.

 

[Ultress]

We should kill all those Super-Nazi's and have sex with there dead bodies like video games taught us to do.[/sarcasm].

This people really are just nuisance who can't understand something they don't like,It's like when people harped on Rock for being home-wreaking, child destorying evil.

 

[Woem]

There's really not much you can do against these people. It's like some christians who rage against Dungeons and Dragons because it's a game of the devil. Right [http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0046/0046_01.asp].

Amen good sir! You speak the truth!

I think you missed the sarcasm.

Et tu.

Most of the people who claim that violence in videogames spawns equally violent reactions in their players are merely searching for scapegoats. It's just like parents, claiming their kids are being influenced to behave badly after playing to much GTA. Well, consider these two points mummy;

1) Who bought him the fucking game in the first place, cos I doubt little Timmy has an 18+ ID.

2) Who brought him up to think that being influenced like that was acceptable? Who didn't bring him up with the ability to discern between games and real life?

Think on. They're just looking for anything to blame but themselves.
