Did the current issues with Game Violence affect Defiance?

god i spend all day righting a full essa on how wrong people are blaming popular media for modern violence.

as i dont want to bore you all to death ill simply sum it up that humanity has always looked for a reason to everything, take the vikings, they lived in a violent age in a hostile enviroment, they blamed violent gods. they believed the only people who went to there version of heaven (valhalla) was those who died in battle or women during child birth.

so lets face it, people will always look for a scape goat to explain the evils of this world, when simply its just an animalistic nature within us all, only difference between everyday joe who does nothing wrong and the psycos who do it is how we handle it. our sense of propriety if you will.

Edit: as to will it effect defiance (sorry i digressed) i dont think so as most people have the common sence that games dont cause violence

I think you are onto something. Playing Crash Bandicoot as a child did in fact cause me to smash boxes, seek out fruit and attack animals in my way.....

One of the questions I have been wondering recently after reading game violence articles was the affect on this game. Is the game really violent? Is it toned down? Did the current issues with Game Violence affect Defiance?

I see that it has a mature rating but besides that???

Do you have a link? Ive not seen anything. I'd love to read it though.

My guess this is T-rated like most AAA MMORPG's are, thanks to WoW kids.

no fiancee this is m rated. however, i don't think hot air spout out about how video games cause violence will be a problem here in the U.S. one guy tried to get a law passed where you can't make games that have... i think it was law enforcement people as enemies. the law wasn't able to get past the supreme court stage because it was considered a law that went against the free speech amendment. at least i think it was the free speech amendment. anyways, no matter how much people whine in the U.S about how video games cause violence, unless the constitution is pretty much thrown out the window, they can't make any laws that prohibit the making of certain video games.

Are you sure Mature pegi isnt just placeholder? We all can see theres tons of stuff what we dont know yet.

Some one should make a shirt that say on the front " I love killings, ******, and jaking cars" and on the back "in video games". See how pissed off those people get than. lol

LOL. I want to see what happens when GTA5 comes in September, its all about car theft, robbing, stealing etc. GTA5 easily sells 10 mill within first month.

no doubt the same "x did x and he played gt5" usual crap we see. apprently even though there will be several million players and less then 1% commit violence they presume the game caused it. im sure statisticly (thoery) more people who drive a car % are more likly to hit someone else. and yet driving apprently doesnt breed violence?
