There is a semantic difference between enjoying violence and enjoying violent games - Mario has some violence in it, certainly, but I do not enjoy the violence in it in and of itself. However, I do enjoy the violence in, say, God Hand, which directly factors into my enjoyment of the game.

Not all games have their amusement predicated on the different forms of violence they partake in, and each gamer enoys games in different ways.

Depends on how and how much they use it like in No More Heroes. its sureal to see a guy get sliced from the top down with all 5 pints of their blood spewing out, but the way the visuals are stylized, its more satrical (did i say that right?) but with a shooter like call of duty they it doesnt need the type of violence you see in games like madworld since its supposed to be more serious and realistic. but all in all i like it as long as they use it in a stable way.

I like it, depends on the type of game and if its necesary, a game like ratchet is fine the way it is, but God of war without violence, blood, sex, gore etc isnt god of war.

People dying makes you take the game plot more seriously, it depends though, exesive use turns into humor, like movies like hostel.

yep

yes, i like to sacrifice a baby goat before i start a new game

Like Sony did at the God of War launch party?  

i was not even thinking about the god of war launch party when i made that statement

Is the Pope Catholic?
Does a bear poo in the woods?

(In other words, yes I do like violence in video games as appropriate to the particular game.)

Just so you know, the average adult has 14 to 18 pints of blood in their body, not 5.

yeah but not if it is excessive or unrealistic
