Well that was the joke. She argued saying it doesn't and here I am saying it doesn't acting like she said it does.

I know, right?
Jay acts like she's better than everyone else simply because she's a chick.
I hope she chokes to death.

"I am an enforcer man! Don't nothin' go down in my house! This 100% heart baby! Sure, I check a few fools. I give em the pain! But sometimes its about intimidation, though. It's mind games."
-Terry Tate, Office Linebacker

I suppose they could, if a mentally disturbed individual is the one playing the game. Personally, I've been playing violent games since I was a wee little kid and I'm a pacifist.

No. They relieve more violence than they cause.

I actually believe this. During Middle and High School, they were a vent for me to channel some anger through. Not the "I'm going to curse and swear at you constantly" kind of way, but the "I'm going work of some of this frustration and get my mind off reality for a few hours."

No, acnboy. Spartain Ken 15 is a lesser being. Much like the bacteria that lives in your shi­t.
Posted by: mike120593
My shi­t bacteria takes offense to that comparison.

Don't make me lel. You won't like me when I lel.

oh look it's this thread again

If a game ever told me to go out in the real world and kill people. Yes, but if not, than no. Never will a video game company do that in a game.

Games, a great majority of the time, portray what is right and wrong. A recent game like dishonored, the more you kill, the better chance you will get bad ending. Their is even an achievement for killing nobody throughout the entire game.

If people ever get motivated to kill after playing a video game, they might have a mental problem. That's only what I think tho.

Math rules the world.

Did they even consider that it could be more aggressive people are more likely to play violent games?
Posted by: coolmike699
The research team at Brock University in Canada said their results were "concerning" and argued that violent games could "reinforce the notion that aggression is an effective and appropriate way to deal with conflict and anger."

Evidence suggests that long-term players of violent games may become more likely to react aggressively to unintentional provocations such as someone accidentally bumping into them, they added.


"But I play violent video games and I don't respond violently to small things at all! Obviously that study is wrong."

"React aggressively" doesn't mean "react violently". It means that people who play violent video games a lot might think that violence is a better way to deal with conflict and therefore might get into more conflict than people who don't play violent video games.

Promote? No. Desensitize us to it? Perhaps.


This is about the only true answer.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

No.

There was more violence before video games.

Hey I am a big Bungie fan ever since I played Halo 2. I love the series, I love Bungie. I have made a few Bungie logos in my metal shop.

No violent people are to blame. Violent games make people not violent.

  • 12.17.2012 9:34 PM PDT

No

  • 12.17.2012 9:48 PM PDT

no biased at all

OP depends on the maturity level of the person playing said game, if they are say under 12 then i would say it is possiable that it promotes violence and if i they are over say 14 then i would say no it does not, ages are just there for example

(To discuss Halo 4.)

Not anymore than other media (I'd say far less), but they certainly desensitize people to atrocities/violence, which is not a good thing.
