Ok I'll play ball. Given the amount of people who actually play violent games and do not commit murder or major crimes vs. those who do is staggeringly one sided. So out of millions of gamers only what, only about maybe less than 20 people in the last few months have allegedly associated video games with their behavior? If there are more, so what the point is MILLIONS OF GAMERS PLAY VIOLENT GAMES ON A DAILY BASIS.
America's government has bombed thousands of innocents in the middle east just to kill 1 fucking person, but yet where is their crimes for murder? See how statistics vary depending on who is viewing them. Video games do not make people violent and disturbed. Violent and disturbed people make themselves violent and disturbed. It is statistically sound to assume that there are mentally troubled people in the world and who knows what may set them off or cause them to jump over. Wanna blame Judas priest for 2 boys forming a suicide pack? Shit, why the hell not music made them do it right? WRONG.
They just use video games as an escape tool when they come to the realization they have been caught just like music was blamed for certain peoples action when the first note was written.. And this is why America is going to shit. They are looking for any reason to take away our guns when criminals don't give 2 shits about the gun control laws. There is no validity to any of their claims and this is just media propaganda. I really am disgusted with this government and the media they own.
@CRAZYxKYUUBI Sorry buddy, quick scoping requires auto aim only. You scope in and the game to lock on to you're target, fire and release. Hell, you don't have to move your recital you just stand still and press/release the aim button as fast as you can. Turn that off and your quick scope disappears. Just like my nephew who so call claims "CoD" is much more than an arcade shooter. COD makes people feel pro because a feature that is cheap and a joke to shooters promotes camping and computer control. They are going to remove quick scooping, realize how many people complain about it and watch it be in COD: White Ops next year.
"it's all about the games" when the only games you sell are just reskined versions of mario, zelda, and smash bros. When they are tired of using the main characters they create spin offs with the less liked ones like Luigi. Nintendo is failing hard and is on the same path as Sega. Started at the top, now just releasing sonic remakes and shitty sequels.
2 different studios, but it literally feels like the same game each year? Hell, only difference I can really tell is that you can dolphin dive in one and cannot in the other. Either way you are still limiting them to roughly 1 - 2 years of development time. No game needs to kill COD because activision is doing it themselves... I see in a few years the only people who will buy COD are insecure children and men, jocks, people who think they are good in FPS until they realize the game has Auto Aim, a-holes, and people who use the word "murk" online. Too bad that still counts for 80% of their total sales as it is.
Who would have known that letting a consumer try the product before they buy it hurt sales. Just like review embargoes, we need to prevent demos for games until a few weeks until after their release to ensure publishers can still sell a shitty game said almost every publisher in the industry. I honestly do not understand why the needed research to prove this. The media industry is a damn joke. You want me to buy your shitty product knowing it sucks and want to take every action from me known it sucks until I actually buy it? Trailers trick people and this is proof. It's funny how tech demos and trailers that do not actually represent gameplay footage are still the standard for showing off games.
"This just in, researchers conducted an in depth look at how overly sexual scenes and images in video games leads to degenerate sex offenders and increases the number of rape cases for teens. Teen sexual activity development is also linked to prostitution found in games such as gran theft auto 1, 2, 3, san andreas, vice city, 4, and the unreleased gran theft auto 5. The threat of sex in games and the health of our teens, stay tuned we'll be back at 4PM."
