I blame it on these crazy young whippersnapers and hooligans with their medal of duty: modern field games! *shakes fist*

I've never cared for games that are made just for lots of blood - aka Ninja Gaiden II. I don't mind tasteful violence where it's a component to the game. Same goes for movies - which is why I've always disliked Quentin Tarantino films - just lots of shallow violence, IMO.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Without violence. You can't lose. What game is fun that doesn't involve killing something?

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

Violent games started over 2 decades ago with Doom, so he is quite late in the game lol

They started even way before Doom.. all you do in Super Mario Bros is crush the skulls of poor little turtles and mushroom dudes by stomping a mudhole in them!

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

I agree with what he says.

Not that I hate violent games, I'm picking up MW3 in the coming days, I just hate developers that create games just for the violence and people who buy games just for the violence, even if the game is terrible.


i think those people are few and far inbetween

Not really, most of those games I was referring to have sold into the millions or hundreds of thousands at least.

As for the people who buy the games, how many people buy Call of Duty simply because they find it amusing to shoot people in the face? Millions.


true, but its not like IW or Treyarch are making violent games just for the fuck of being violent. I honestly dont think most devs are, sure you will run into your Suda's and MK teams

Eeesh, my points are all over the place, I'll re-word everything I just said.

I definitely don't think IW or Treyarch make violent games for the sake of it, I consider myself a Call of Duty fan and I can see far more substance in their games. When I referred to developers making violent games for the sake of it, I meant developers who make extremely weak games that are usually poor clones of Call of Duty and Battlefield and they expect the games to sell purely because they are violent. As for people who buy violent games just because they are violent, these people are the ones who buy the Call of Duty and Battlefield clones and also the people who buy games like Call of Duty just for the violence, not anything else.

I was expecting you to come into this thread and say something like this to be honest.


How's that? New found powers of predetermination?



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

I don't think he's talking about toon violence. How many people have been hospitalised because of the Sonic spin attack?

On the other hand though, he made the Odyssey. Did anyone see the gun on that console?!
