There's games that require killing because of context and then there are games that celebrate killing, and I won't have anything to do with those games. |
It was a dumb reference to Metal Gear what I said back there. But regarding this, I don't think you can't ever "go too far" in fictional media. I don't know if you condemn games like these, or you simply don't want them. Maybe some people's stomach can't handle it, but I don't think we are crossing any kind of ethical barrier by producing things like those. It speaks to our sadistic side, which I think everyone has regardless of how they approach that inner part of themselves.
Maybe it's just because I do enjoy the killing, who knows. For what's worth, there's context behind the Manhunt games, although the gratuitous violence you employ to reach your destination lacks any humane explanation.
