True, but Resident Evil is subdued and orthodox compared to games like The Suffering and GTA.
In a nutshell, Resident Evil is basically just zombies that shuffle, groan and grab at wherever you shoot them. Nothing you can actually relate to.
But in GTA, for example, people will yell and scream, sometimes, theyll run away in fear, expressing human emotions...and in order to finish the game, you have to kill innocent bystanders. Sometimes, killing a bystander is crucial to completing a task. As for The Suffering, certain cutscenes pretty much desensitize the torture of humans.
And dont give me that "its just a video game" crap; as games become more realistic, they become more immersive, the more they affect everyday life.
Like I said, sometimes I wonder why ESRB doesnt use that AO rating more.
