The Videogame Thread

I mean, people consider themselves rational beings with sane logic & yet, they cannot tell the bloody (play on words) difference from animated gore to that far-more-realistic gut-spilling shown on shows like CSI on a daily basis? What has the world come to?

I know. I mean, I play violent and bloody video games. Well...ok, the only 2 I have played are BloodRayne and Resident Evil (the DS Version). BloodRayne is a pretty gory game. But the amount of actual blood in the game is laughable compared to to movies such as the new Halloween.

Resident evil went so far as to put GREEN blood in it. There is an option to make it red, but the default is green! And the blood in that is so fake looking its funny. But then again, the 3D in the DS cant handle as much as PS2s can.

But then you go and watch movies and TV shows that are much worse. If you are going to go after video games, go after the movies and shows as well.

I just dont understand the media and all these peoples logic

 

[wwfpooh]

Right. But then again, on the flip side, some shows and franchises need the blood and gore to stay around, namely CSI, Mortal Kombat, horror movies in general, and even some superhero stuff. I mean, what's a good comic book, cartoon, or movie starring superheroes without some action-packed scene with the heroes nearly losing, only to rise from the ashes (a play on "The Death & Return of Superman") and come back just as vibrant as the day they were created?

PSP phone? Why would anyone need a phone with a PSP in it (or vice versa)

I guess Sony is trying to compete with the iPhone?

I guess your right. I hear that I-phones is coming out with a gaming phone too and both phones use motion sensing controls just like the Wii.

Did anybody here about the release the the PSP phone?

It was a rumor. You can just use Skype.

Green Blood! That's like the monstrosity Shadow the Hedgehog! Anyway, I think I understand why people are more active against games than movie (although I don't agree with them), Game are interactive. They think that games make you think that you are the one killing people, therefore making you a potential criminal in real life.

Knuckles: You guys have problems

lol. In Super Smash Bros SOnic already has them, he just needs a smash ball to use them Probably the first time sonic never had to do and find them (again...and again...and again, and o on and so on)

And yet, most of these people haven't--and can't--play games, even if their lives depended on it.

 

[Sgt Floyd]

Ill be honest, I do tend to pop in a video game out of frustration and just start killing things. Or if its a driving game just run things over (*cough*SimpsonsHit&Run*cough*) XD. But I would never go and do that stuff in the real world.

And if parents are worried about what their kids are playing, its not the game makers fault, its their fault for not monitoring what their kids play.
