American beer is almost water, you're mistaking American for Irish stereotypes.Das Boot said:snip
People do the same with toy trains.Bobic said:The more important question is who is spending over £1000 on the DLC for this simulator?

I'm blowing your logic out of proportion, like saying all blond girls are dumb or that all black people have the IQ of apes. A lot of ignorant people still claim that all Germany is a country of Nazis.Das Boot said:Oh yea and so what if I am a nazi.
"There are", and what you said is obviously fake. People follow safety guidelines religiously, otherwise accidental firearm deaths would kill as many people as car accidents.Das Boot said:there is a lot of gun toting drunks in the USA. It has been a part of their culture for several hundred years.
If those games being made was the cost humanity had to pay for those video's existence, then I deem it well worth it.Arontala said:They're made so that birgirpal can make these videos.
I once read some of those studies. They were about how violent games brainwash our youth and all recent acts of violence can be attributed to violent games like Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto and The Black Eyes Peas Experience...More Fun To Compute said:You seem very serious about this so where is your evidence to back up your busting of the stereotype that people who like to shoot guns also like to drink heavily? A quick google search quickly gives me references to studies showing that gun owners in the US are much more likely to be heavy drinkers and that gun incidents are often linked to alcohol.ElPatron said:As a matter of fact, in the US those games are frowned upon by hunters. It's like how an actual Top Gun pilot views jet combat on BF3.More Fun To Compute said:German people buy them unless it's a hunting simulation then people from the USA buy them. In Germany learning a skill or trade is seen as good aspirational thing like as in the USA getting drunk and shooting wild animals is.
Also, getting hammered before touching a weapon is VERY frowned upon by gun owners everywhere.
I am an European and at least I don't pretend to know everything about other cultures, so I don't think anyone has the excuse to cling on unfunny stereotypes.
Now excuse me while I call Germans nazis and claim that every British person knows the Queen.
Because I live in Europe, so it's a place I know.Das Boot said:What does europe have to do with any of this?
Which is why I was referring to the pre-F2P releases, the one that the last major release of was close to a decade ago. Those games were serious sims; FSX was made, as far as I know, to fill the gap left by the lack of a recent release. Otherwise, we seem to agree.Private Custard said:Right, you can remove the word 'simulator' from your post. Flight's a total abortion!
Which is exactly what I wasn't doing. I was just mentioning that people are not reckless enough to drink and shoot, same with drinking and driving.Das Boot said:North America and Europe are two very different continents and are populated by very different people. You cant use one as an example when talking about the other.
What? The whole scientific method is now suspect because some horrible horrible people said something unpleasant about your beloved video games? Maybe we should go back to casting runes or like our politically correct friend not say anything negative about anyone because it's exactly the same as calling everyone nazis.hermes200 said:I once read some of those studies.

It sounded serious enough, so I guess it must be true.
