Should you be allowed to hurt/kill kids in video games?

[Amarok]

Killing children in games was FINE up until about 2002, what the hell happened that year!?

Fallout 1, Fallout 2, Deus Ex, Childkiller 3000, Crash Bandicoot: Infanticide, and of course My Little Pony Goes Rogue!

All just SOME examples of games that enabled killing children, ALL of which are still legal and uncensored today. What in the world happened?

I guess if you want. I personally don't care as I never try killing kids (shows you have some problems if you do doesn't it?). Either way if they let you kill games, the rating would go through the roof and it'll end up being an AO game.

It does NOT show that you have problems if you attack kids in a video game. Killing an unarmed person when you have a gun is the same no matter what age they are.

Either way, it'd boost the rating up to an adult's only meaning a vast majority of stores would not carry the game.

If a difference in age would really boost the age limit up to adult only I'm truly disappointed in America (not that I needed another reason)

It's not just America, it'd be pretty much world wide. Chances are it would be banned from several countries (Australia and Germany) and be inaccessible to many others. People don't like to see kids being killed. Another person? Sure, but kids are off limits because they are seen as sacred objects because of their innocence (or supposed innocence).

 

[The-King-Of-Spades]

Of course. Kids are human, people like to kill humans in games. Ergo, kill the kids.

Yeah, but there are child soldiers that own a city in Fallout 3. And you can sell them into slavery... seems a bit hypocritical that we can portray them as soldiers who will kill at the slightest provocation but we can't portray their deaths. Except that we CAN portray the murder of children in games (see Fable 2's cut scene with the castle and your sister)- the player just can't be the one to do it.

 

[CNKFan]

Yes because Little Lamplight annoyed me to no end and what kind of city is all adults?

 

[Marv21]

I'm fine with not letting you kill kids so long as developers stop making me want to kill the kids they put in game so freaking much...

FINALLY! My viewpoint exactly, I don't like killing kids I find no virtual satisfaction from killing them, or adults at that matter too, but when the game developers make the kids either annoying as fuck or little bastards its the game developers fault for not letting me kill them.

On little lamplight, people love kids who rise up against adults. It's basically the premise of all kids movies ever made. As for Fable 2, the bad guy can do it but not you. It is hypocritical, but that's life.

 

[danmcl]

I'm sorry, but in games I want to be able to pick up a child-shaped object by the ankles and use them as a flail to be able to kill other small child-shaped objects.

IT'S A FUCKING GAME. WOULD ALL YOU COCKJOCKEY RETARDS THAT THINK "OMG VIOLENCE IN A GAME == VIOLENCE IN THE REAL WORLD" STOP LETTING YOUR FUCKING HALF-BREED (AS IN PIG-CREATURE/HUMAN) OFFSPRING USE THE INTERNET, PLAY VIDEO GAMES OR DO ANYTHING DISTINCTLY UN-CHILDLIKE WITHOUT YOUR SUPERVISION!

Video consoles are not babysitters. The TV is not a babysitter. A babysitter is a babysitter.

Interact with your children, teach them respect, discipline and HOW TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TV SCREEN AND THE REAL FUCKING WORLD.

Jesus, this really gets on my tits.

 

[Zand88]

Yes. But, it should be handled like in Fallout 1 and 2: you take the humanity of them. As a friend of mine said "they look more like creatures than children."
Plus, you aren't a gritty game if you take away violence that the series used to feature. That's just a pussy move.

 

[Schlorgan]

I'll answer this question simply. If in any video game, no matter what the context is; if you can kill kids in it, that'll be the last straw for retarded lawyers and politicians, and will probably end up with games like that getting banned. So no, they shouldn't.

 

[NotAPie]

I was going to say no but...
God damn I remember Fallout 3...
KILL THE KIDS
AND THE BABIES
AND THEIR CUTE LITTLE KITTENS.

 

[Sewblon]

Yes. Saying that it is acceptable for me to get killed as an adult or child in the game but not allowing me to spread the joy is just hypocrisy.

 

[danmcl]

My question is, shoudl you be allowed to kill/hurt retarded lawyers and politicians?
Of course, it would be a damn shame if someone did actually manage to convince themselves that there is no difference between a video game and the real world.

Jack Thompson didn't get what he deserved. He should have been taken out back, and the law system that spawned such a hideous, vicious creature should be the one to put the quivering shotgun, sniff back those tears and give him both barrels. That would of course imply that the legal system had undergone a radical addadicktomy and found it's balls again.

 

[Composer]

altough it would be...interesting, i would cause alot of contreversy, before you know it they'll start blacklisting games and such. people are already mad about the amount of violence in games such as GTA and Saints Row2(which if i remember correctly both had killable old people in them, which disturbed me) video games are in hot enough water as it is. why give the anti-gamers any more things to use against us (like murdering children)


note:I dont care about any misspellings

search bar nazi time!

use the search bar, i myself did this topic only a few weeks ago


and yes you should

I guess that's true.

 

[Inco]

I don't think so. It serves absolutely no purpose than to be utterly sadistic and sick for your own amusement.

Agreed. Its just superficial and pointless. Like cmon, you can kill hordes of other people and that is sadistic enough, but, in most games its necessary. Killing kids is not and there is no justifiable reason to do so. (we are talking normal kids,not zombie ones and so forth.)

 

[Harlemura]

If they're going to let you run down little old ladies, why shouldn't you be able to run down those snot-nosed brats?
Some games already do, just cover it up a little. Resident Evil 4...

Spoiler

Leon throws a knife through a 12 year old's hand, they proceeds to shoot him in the face a whole lot. But just because he's a big mutated mess, I'm sure that makes it alright.

 

[THEMILKMAN]

I wish they would let you but the fact of the matter is that they CAN'T do it. Not yet anyway.

Just imagine all the negative press and boycotts a developer would get from the crazies if you could kill kids in their game. Bottom line is that it's just not good business.
But maybe someday those last few crazies will either die or loosen up then we can all indulge in child homicide!
