Yes, so a game called Splatterhouse should have deep emotionaly driven characters and be conservative with its violence, yup that makes sense.
Games are:PowCoJG said:In an age where videogames may be censored for basically being violence simulators or a new medium of softcore porn, a company would really remake Splatterhouse with this much added gore?
I realize some games have really capitalized on the intense violence (God of War, Gears of War, etc.), but we need to really think about what kind of image this game is giving the non-gaming population.
Games are already being blamed for causing kids to act violently as much as unprotected boinking of a prostitute is blamed for causing rashes and the sex-sniffles.
Let's try and push the envelope a little bit here and go for more innovative/less mindlessly violent games; games like (but not remakes of) Portal or Mirror's Edge.
Let's push for better storytelling, with more plot than "...and then he tore the zombie's spinal cord out and proceeded to beat it back to death." Creative storytelling like Assassin's Creed, Brutal Legend, Mass Effect, and Fable should be at the forefront of our imagination. Not stuff like Jeffrey Dahmer's Day in the Market.
Seriously guys, this is getting embarassing, let's make a change PLEASE!
When you say it seems pointless, then why should it bother you? The only difference I've seen with Black Ops is that a shotgun at close range will dismember an enemy, or occasionally you'll be bombarded with flying pieces of flesh from a grenade explosion.PowCoJG said:I don't know, I just see it as far over the top.
I'm not a fan of Gears, God, or Splatter
I'm even iffy when it comes to Black Ops (not buying it)
I don't blame people for wanting to buy these games, I'm just not thrilled about them at all.
Mindless gore is kinda just pointless to me. =/
THANK YOU! Here's a game that allows you to outright murder innocent/harmless individuas for health, xp, and game progression, and not a damned soul stops and says "this is bad, mmmkay?Celtic_Kerr said:So wait. God of War came out this year, and we all know how long these legal battles take. So you mean that God of War is just fine, but splatterhouse is pushing the envellope?
