How is this any different from any other game filled with murder and violence? God of War, anyone?
Kratos is not on some holy mission, he just loves ripping the spines out of random people.

Because in God of War you are killing mythical creatures and monsters sent by Gods to kill you.
Here, you just slaughter innocent people at random and it seems to be greatly inspired by actuall massive shootings in real life.
It's not the realism or amount of violence that is the problem, we have games waay more violent than this, it's the context which makes this game unacceptable, and the developers clearly stated they are making this just to go ''against the trend'', so it's pretty obvious shock value for the sake of shock.

And that reasoning is total bullshit. Murder, is MURDER. It's not "okay" in any game. Never has been. I'm not going to argue against this being cheap, I agree with that.
"greatly inspired"... Ever thought of the ethics in war games? Oh right, it's okay to murder in those. I'm leaving this thread, this is silly...

Again, war and mass civil shootings are not the same. Fighting back against peole trying to kill you isnt morally wrong, it isnt even illegal. Thats why we have self defence laws.
