RE: How much violence is OK for a video game?

That's a good point about those movies. No one seem to be bothered with them, however looking back into the past, everyone were shocked by the movie Psycho because it was "so horrifying." By todays standards, it's kinda silly, but a great classic nonetheless. So basically movies have evolved into accepting these sort of things. I can only assume games haven't yet. This might be the early steps down that same path.

If they wanted to make money with it they wouldn't have taken it down in the first place. You could go all conspiracy theory with this and say it in turn generates MORE money because of publicly, but I think that's thinking too far.

Oh yes I should've mentioned that. It was so cheesyily edgy that it was almost happy-go-lucky in how hilariously ridiculous it was. I had to stiffle my laughter.

The writing was pretty damned horrible wasn't it? XD

Probably the reason as to why the game features zero story what-so-ever.

Well hey! Having some character story is better than leaving a character with no dialogue, and character besides subtle game environmental, and mechanical observations!

Right? Rii-ght? Er...

Spoiler below!

The game mediated killing civilists as to be fun. The fact that people create such mindless games is just an other evidence in which idiotic world we live. What would you think about this game when your parents were killed by a bastard of terrorist?

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"

^Sums up what I would think. I do not like it at all, but they have every right to make it, and everyone has every right to consume it.

Granted though the games may not be very good, and I don't think they do the games medium any justice, but if people want to make it they can go ahead.

RE: How much violence is OK for a video game?

^- Exactly, I have lost family members to many various reasons, one which tends to get made fun of alot is cancer, I don't like it when someone makes a cancer joke, but I don't go crying about it trying to get it banned. I speak my mind on it, and if the person still wants to do what they do, then what the fuck ever, I don't HAVE to talk to them.

And one of my family members died to falling rubble in a house, HEY! AMNESIA FEATURES FALLING RUBBLE THAT CAN KILL PEOPLE!

Let's get Amnesia pulled of the stores because it offends me! Yeah, come on guys, let's rally! Who's with me?!

When this would be true, why everyone shouldn't also have the right to consume child porn?

That's an incredibly dumb argument, murder is illegal in real life, murder is not illegal in media.

Sexual intercourse with a child is illegal in real life, and illegal in media.

What point are you trying to get across here?

In that case we can't have drugs in games anymore either, because that's illegal too! So let's pull all games with drugs.

Oh a drunk driving, all games that let you do that need to go.

Oh, and street racing games, they're out too.

And cruelty to animals! Any game that lets you kill animals has to go, Pokémon deeply offends me.

AND PIRACY! Piracy is illegal, so let's get rid of that damned game Risen (whicheverthepirateonewas)
