you can check out the game www.twitch.tv/trionworlds scroll down until you see videos tab and pick the top video. Then go to about the 3 hour mark and the defiance stuff startsd.
Honestly, I don't see why it would. But people need to stop with the whole "video games corrupted my child" bs. Blame the parents not the product
chicken nuggets corrupted my children is a more valid arguement than video games, as far as violence goes we are not looking at a game like man hunt or other brutal killing game, yes people die but in a more sci-fi fashion where you have a good number of energy weapons and from what i have seen from trailers/livestreams its less violent/gore than your standard military shooter but falls more into line with the sci-fi shooters.
"chicken nuggets corrupted my children is a more valid arguement than video games" That's like saying chicken nuggets make people fat, they don't, over consumption of them and terrible eating habits brought on by the individual themselves do... or the parents depending on the individuals age.Originally Posted by Sarcon
I make the same argument for video games and movies as well, that being said video games and movies do have some sort of influence over us, just saying.
The only reason people are poking at games is because they can not poke at TV, Movies, Comic Books, Role Playing Games, Books, Stone Paintings, etc etc etc. The only reason these people do not go after these any more is because they are established...they would be laughed out of the room if they said "TV makes kids take guns to school and shoot up the place". Tom & Jerry was more violent then many games I have played.
I think the entire rhetoric about video game violence is over blown hot air. It will just take time till the people that preach it drop dead (of old age) and we can all move on to the next great bane to human civilization.
yes the next great bane will be people blaming gun violence in bieber (however in this case its absolutely true). on a serious note though above about the chicken nuggets i just mean chicken nuggets have a slight influence on our weight just as media does on our minds, ultimately it comes down on someones own will weather that extra chicken nugget is gonna make them gain weight or if that video game is going to make them a little more violent. that little nudge off the cliff does not remove the fact that you were on the edge of the cliff.
That is not precisely true. I am sure like any gamer you have been in the situation that you were playing and everything you did was wrong. Mistake after mistake leading to getting rather upset and one fed off the other. Thing is in most people games are a catharsis, about 85%. In the other 15% Games are a source of infuriation. The problem is that some people do not know how to walk away.
In these situations it comes to the parents to teach their kids when to keep going and when to stop and walk away. The ones online that rant when they loose and blame their team (Get this allot in WoT) are the ones that just need to walk away fro a while. But they do not, they rant and rave about how it is not their fault. A lack of personal responsibility really...sad that parents do not watch how things go a little more closely. Oh and before people go "How would you know your sniveling little jerk" I am 35 with three kids of my own. I have been teaching them to walk away and cool down...a hard lesson, but a necessary one.
A chicken nugget isn't going to have anymore effect on your weight than lets say a more "healthy" option, a bag of peanuts.
You can gain weight on the over indulgence of nearly anything. A bag of peanuts is not anymore "healthier" than a chicken nugget, what it all boils down to, is having a sufficient amount of all the nutrients, including those that people tend to black list, and the only reason thins like carbs, fats, and sugars are blacklisted is because there is an abundance of them, and with that, they also taste good. So the problem then becomes self-control for a few.
Are you going to sacrifice taste for the illusion of a "healthier" food? People think the problem is, Taste good=bad. When really the problem is Self-control.
Are you going to sacrifice entertainment for a "cleaner" form of it? People think the problem is, Animated violence=shootings. When the real problem is Self-esteem or mental disorder.
It's easier for everyone to cast the blame on video games rather than themselves.
