Another crusade from the french censure committy. they go now fighting against... GTa3. Once again, videogams are taken responsible for all violence and brutality of youth people... what do yu think about violence and videogames? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is an old argument... personaly, i think kids use these to vent any voilence... instead of acting out their fantasies on others... also, the world hasn't seem violent videogames untill i'm done with my education and start my own gaming co. i'm plaining on some wicked shite...like a realistic gta3ish rpg where you're a NY serial killer... that's just the tip of the iceburg... |
||||||||
|
|

damn you guys...now i'm typing shite...i've never even heard of that word untill i started hanging out here... and i wasn't even looking at the screen...i always look at the keyboard while i type... |

I remember when Mortal Kombat came out a loooong time ago in the arcades. I was just a wee little lad... I thought it was SO fucking cool when Sub Zero would rip people's heads off and you could see their spinal cord hanging down with blood dripping everywhere... But it hasn't desensitized me to violence... I can't look at gory pictures (like at Rotten.com) without getting terrified and running to get a hug from my mommy. |

In the first place I'm against violence in videoclips,for example d12 and rammstein,are bad influence. video's like that should be forbidden under 16 or something... I'm talking the video's here,not the music |

If someone plays a game and then acts out a form of violence out in the real world then there is something really wrong with them. I love killing people and the police in the GTA games but in real life I'm a wimp and I run at first sign of blood! I can't look at rotten.com but I love doing all manner of violent things in games. How many people that really acted out violence from games or movies already had some problem (perhaps a mental problem? That cause's them not to know a difference from real and fake? I don't know about these things...) When will people learn!! I think people feel better to blame the violence of something solid and videogames are an easy target. |

Setting people on fire with the flamethrower is good fun! Grand Theft Auto 3 - never has there been such a good mix of violence and video games! |
||||||||

Got Carmageddon to thank for that shit boy! I still kinda prefer GTA 1 on the PC. All the glitches made it really fun. GTA 3 is v good tho. |

A few months ago here they took GTA3 off sale! This is so stupid: In Australia there is no R rating for games. GTA3 was deemed an R game... HANG ON! That doesnt make sense! So of course they done the smart thing and brang in the R rating.... NO!!!! After it being sold for a few weeks they banned it then later released a cut down version rated MA! Though I've heard the cut's arent that big... still why can't we have an R rating!!! We get 18+ games from Brittan! |

Carmageddon was good - nothing like a nice casual Sunday afternoon drive, running down pedestrians!!! *evil laugh* |

They had cool radio songs on GTA 1 and 2. There was one about oral sex on GTA 1 "Four letter love"! It was hillarious! |

Super Mario is a cruel game, it features Mario who jumps on animals until they die and it promotes consumption of magic mushrooms... |

I love blowing people up in computer games. I've been doing it all my life, but im not a serial killer. Its just scapegoating IMO. |

these people should realize: videogames have only really been around for 30 years or so. violence has been around for.. hmmm.. lets see... FOREVER? we have all grown up with videogames. when we were kids, we wanted games with cute characters squishing other cute characters. but now we are adults. we want games with big menacing characters violently dismembering other big menacing characters. little kiddies should not be playing GTA3 without parental supervision anyway. the games are not responsible. its mum and daddy who should be held accountable. people are just upset that they cant have the PS2 babysit their kids anymore. |

It's better to do it in a computer game rather than real life! |

well stated J Chris! |

When I come home from a hard days work - I find it really relaxing to kill a few people, console style!!!! It helps to keep me stress free! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
me too, sometimes i would just go around killing as many cops as i could before getting busted. i wonder if there any cops that are fans of the GTA series? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That would be interesting to find out! I'm sure however there are loads of people who despise these types of games, but they're harmless fun! |

You know, it's really ridiculous that video games get blamed for being influential when there are so many more subversive things out there. I mean, look at MTV. IT's brainwashed an entire generation to think that Linkin Park is the future of music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol I listen to this 'alternative' radio station when i'm at work all day. after about a month, i hate to admit, i kinda like LInkin Pork its just that everything else they play is soooooo awful; when a LinkIn Pork song comes on im like "alright! a song that sux ass instead of sucking ballz!" |

It's clever marketing thats all.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah once you learn the words to any song, you start to like it more. this is how daft punk and prodigy got so popular. (and fat boy slim, and moby, and chemical brothers...) oh and... uh... i like violent video games (just to stay on topic) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
here is a that is somewhat related to the topic. It seems no one (in the USA at least) wants to accept responsibility for their own goddamn actions. Instead they have to blame or sue someone else. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wow - I can't believe that woman is actually gonna sue Sony! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's the most ridiculous shit I've ever heard. I mean, by that logic, I should sue Time Warner for making TV so addictive, addictive enough that the average american has their tv on 7 hours a day. Maybe they should put warning labels on televisions now. Or how about this. I'll sue god for making masturbation so addictive and for giving me a right hand. . . . uh, just forget I wrote that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't get me wrong about America, but it does seem that there are more people there who'll sue for anything, rather than blame themselves. I almost get the impression that if you give someone the wrong kinda look, they could probably sue you in America. I'm glad it's not that bad here - yet I suspect we're not that far behind sadly! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It really is bad here. Some woman won something like 5 million dollars from McDOnalds because she spilled hot coffee on herself. We basically have no values here. Words don't really mean anything, they're just tools to get what you want, real sophistry. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Let me guess the coffee was too hot - then again, she would've sued if it had been cold too!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe Yeah, they actually had to start putting labels all over the drive-thru windows after that "warning. contents of coffee are hot" God, we americans are such idiots some times |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A hot cup of coffee being hot ... what is the world coming to?? The next thing that will happen is that you'll get signs at the bus stop saying 'Don't stand in the road or you'll get run over!!' ....or do they exist!! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not yet. Emphasis on the word YET. You know, I guess in London an the UK they do have the Look Left, and Look Right painted on the ground. THat's probably for all the stupid americans who get confused by things like that. and the metric system |

People are violent because living in this consumerist oppresive society is shit. Every aspect of our information (school, media, etc.) is designed to control our minds for their purpose, and that is usually to make money. We are all well and truly pissed off that thinking for yourself is a a strenuous and difficult exercise, and our only way to fight back and show our power and hatred for the system that keeps us down is to stoop to their methods - violence. Video games may provide some inspiration or self indulgence, but have dick all to do with the cause of our unrest... |

Violence in computer games like GTA is a bit Hypocrytical, IMHO, see, in most games you kill the bad guys (who are human looking like sprites, etc.), and nobody gives a shit. But if someone would make a game where you have to fly a plane into a virtual recreation of the WTC, that would be considered RASISTIC or ANTI AMERICAN. Why ? Isnt all human life equeal ? Obviously not in Video Games & Movies other media..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm sure that there are people all over the world who would sue for anything. there are just more lawyers in america so americans have the means to sue. and lawyers are often quite affordable here. and speaking of warning labels, they should have to put warning labels on mcdonalds hamburgers that say, "eating beef causes stomach cancer and heart disease." have you ever seen a carotid plaq? if you eat too much beef you will; when they have to surgically remove it from your carotid artery. |

violence in video games or any media may possibly enforce or amplify vilent tendancies, but they don't cause a person to be violent. there are plenty of people who are mature enough to handle exposure to violent media without being turned into a violent person. |

Well said... |

Censure committy needs only responsible. i don't know if it have ben seen on other tv but france, violence and insecurity seem growing here. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i like the fact of violence in videogames |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

You could even argue that some video games are just reflecting what modern-day society is actually like. I'm sure there are some cities in America which are very similar to those depicted in GTA3. |

It feels good to splatter people into mush with rocket launchers in Perfect Dark... But in real life, I'd be afraid just to punch someone in the face... I can't stand to look at swollen eyes and broken noses. |
||||||||
|
|

Elvis was cool in Perfect Dark - I allways thought it was unfair if an opponent had him because he was waist high! |

There's violence or rude language in videogames but no sex (or hidden/ suggested, like in Max payne or kingpin). Have yu ever seen soft sex or erotism in any games for the last 5 years? do yu think it could be a bonus for games to have soft sex scene it it? |
