To be fair to him like 80% of games revolve around killing and every game that's advertised on TV shows off the combat more then anything else, not every game is violent but games are more violence orientated then any other medium and by a fair margin.
So's Niko Bellic, he's an immigrant doing what he must to survive. All he needs is a duster and a horse.Fappy said:
Roll the years back to Wild West times, swap the semi's for revolvers, replace the cars with Horses, roll some cameras and BAM you have a western. NikoFappy said:
Never heard him described as that, actually. Are we talking about the same guy?Fappy said:

I remember telling my dad about Silent Hill and he thought the concept of Pyramid Head raping a mannequin monster to be horrible and something you shouldn't put in video games. He said this as he was watching Basic Instinct. I don't think he got the irony.

He's basically God in my eyes.
In his retirement, he was on a train, when he alarmed everyone by throwing his briefcase out of the window. When asked about this, he stated that the train had passed by his back garden, and he'd thrown it over the fence so he wouldn't have to carry it from the station.
I get the same prejudice, but in an entirely different way. They always ask me what I thought of the new war shooter that came out.
I hate war shooters. All my favorite games are non-violent/have non-violent options (except Just Cause 2).
We need Cyan Worlds to come back and finish what they started with Myst Online.

He's the kind of crazy that's just plain charming. How come we never hear about any eccentric characters from any modern wars? There was that French priest in WWI who merced an entire trench full of soldiers after soloing no-man's land. Like a boss.Binnsyboy said:
My great grandfather, for whom I am named, fought at the battle of the Somme. Lived through WW1, WW2, and remained a total bro until the end of his days, at which point my mum was 20.Fappy said:
I like to think he did some cool shit during the war.
Well games are violent.. especially strategy games where you lead armies to go kill off other armies in various ways. People who enjoy those games probably are violent in some capacity, and those with a high violence can be accelerated to more crazy feats by those games, but this isn't common and is generally not the case.
Games are a representation of violence though, no doubts there.

Yes, someone got pissy at me, and said they bet I played CoD, and loved killing things with guns.
To which I replied, "No, of course not! If I want to kill things, I would use a knife, or my bare hands, so it lasts longer."
Proabably not the best thing to do to get rid of the steriotype, but he was a dick, and wouldn't have belived me anyway...
