Anonymous Coward User ID: 1550123 United States 12/14/2012 05:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The thought of first-person shooter games where youth can simulate shooting sprees does come to mind when you see these massacres. But there is the argument: "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." My riposte to that is "No gun, no shooting." we have always had violence. it may be that these games are making it worse since young kids are playing them. |

It's always typical to blame externals as being the cause of something. That's always been the case...people looking for some sort of scapegoat instead of laying blame directly at the feet of those responsible. Music gets blamed. Movies get blamed. TV shows get blamed.

Kids are turning to drugs/video games etc, because no one gives a shit about them. I see it at work when a teen comes out to help us. You talk to him/her for 2-3 mins and they light up and want to hang around you and talk more. |

Given the chance...all those who SAY they would not actually DO it in real life..well..when they see society going nuts..and they have a gun..SUDDENLY..every trick they learnt in those games will come flooding back..and the SAME cold unfeeling way they pulled of headshots in the game will be played out in real life..except...there are NO respawn points in real life..and no powerups..medkits..or upgrades. They will kill and kill..like they do in the games. And if they are good enough they might even get a "MONSTER KILL" before their turn to be gibbed comes up. |

Quoting: black calx The market is now in the same state as Hollywood- it's headed and "led" by shareholders with no sense of creativity behind "Hire some guys to get the CoD audience", with the occasional independent area (e.g. Valve Software) that actually does good things amidst a sea of Mtn Dew ads, screaming 12 year olds, hipsters who think they're gamers because of Mineycrafta, and the latest in brown and bloom wubstep shooters. It's amazing to think how varied things were six years ago. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 29412599 United States 12/14/2012 06:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.wired.com] 10 Things Parents Should Know About Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 2. War games are supposed to be violent! Yes, and I am not judging this one as being too violent. Just that it is really about as violent as it could get. Black Ops 2 picks up roughly a generation after the first one ends with a few familiar characters and a story that weaves itself between the 1980s and the 2020s. In the first couple missions we see soldiers burning alive in an armored vehicle, a person tortured, then executed, and a fair share of blood and gore. 3. How gory is it? Let’s just say the game is approaching slasher movie levels. Knife attacks are rewarded with a bright crimson arc of blood spray. Well placed shots can explode a person’s head or sever limbs, almost to comical levels. At one point there was so much blood spraying around that I thought I’d stepped into a horror movie. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 11696497 United States 12/14/2012 06:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP... You can't place a single blame on video games first! It's the parents! Parents are the gate keepers for their children's future. If they don't give a s**t about their kids, guess what, their kids won't give a s**t about their lives. Give love to know love... When parents let their children do whatever they want, watch whatever they want, without explaining and teaching them true right from wrong, you get what we see. Mindless, brain washed kids that don't give a s**t about anyone, or anything. Kids are sponges. They can't be subjected at an early age, to nothing but violence (parents, movies, video games, music), without KNOWING right from wrong. When a child isn't taught right from wrong, the true meaning of family and loving one another, but instead pure violence....what do you think will happen!? |
