People say you kill in Zelda/Samus but it's a cartoon like violence where the enemies dissapear in puffs of smoke or light or whatnot. Also you are killing monsters. You never hunt down people. Heck even Gannondorf is only killable in the series after he turns into the pig like Ganon.
Compare that to games like GOW where instead of monsters dissapearing or simply dying, you see there bones fly out and gore is everywhere. Blood hits the scream and you hear the shrieks of the dying. Now play Killzone or GTA where your goal is to go out and kill other humans.
Say what you want about the effects of violent video games on school shootings. But the fact is, no one plays Zelda and then feels the need to kill somebody with a sword. No one plays Metroid and then feels the need to shoot people. Nintendo makes it's games graphically non violent (no rib cages flying out and people moaning as they die slowly holding their intestines) and they put them in alternate universes so vastly different that no one would ever even think violent thoughts relating to real life situations.
The same can't be said for games like GTA. If a kid is depressed and hates life, then plays GTA and enjoys the thrill of shooting real people with a gun that is identical to the one his dad has in his closet... things could get ugly. Again if this same kid played Metroid there is practically no chance he will relate shooting aliens with an arm cannon into killing schoolmates with a Glock |
When do you have to kill humans in killzone? hehe, your supposed to kill helghask which were human,but no more. Your actually proving the statement that nintendo doesnt focus in the mature community, if they dont want blood or killing humans on there system, then they dont want to make mature or teenage games. You wouldnt see games like heavenly sword becuase you kill humans. This is why people say the wii is more for a younger audience. It doesnt offer a wide variaty of games like the ps2 did before it. |
There are plenty of games coming out for the Wii that will involve killing humans. For one i'm interested in the Samurai Warriors game for the Wii. Will be neat taking Oda Nobunaga and cutting down a bunch of people with sword attacks that look like they are going to work how Red steel should have worked. Not to mention gunning down some enemy troops with Maigoichi.
Also I think your mistaking "mature" games with games that are for adults. There is a difference there are plenty of games that arn't "mature" that arn't for kids either.
