So you guys are ok with that Japanese game where you RAPE women too? There really isn't a difference between the two. This kinda thing personally makes me kinda sick, but not becoz of it's level of "violence". Games like Madworld and God Of War are totally different beasts. To me, this is about desensitization to reality. Especially when games are, for the vast majority, directed at the under-age demographics (whether rated M or not). When you put this into a GAME where you actually TAKE CONTROL, you're lowering the shock factor of the reality of the situation. People equate games to being FUN, and when it's delivered in this type of way, it's absolutely NOT a good thing. For the record, I'm also against GTA style games as well for this same reason. It's not that anybody who plays it will become a raging lunatic, but for people predisposed to this kind of mentality, it's catering to it. A young developing mind will be affected psychologically far beyond that of an adult from being introduced to this sort of thing at younger and younger ages. If you don't see that the youth of America has changed DRASTICALLY in the last 20 years, you aren't looking very hard. But like I said, it's not the violence per se. There's a world of difference between shooting a civilian in the face and a cartoon cat hitting someone with a frying pan.
Anyone who actually has FUN playing this type of role should look very closely at yourself and go get some help. We don't need another Columbine or Fort Hood.
