Eye To Eye With Katie Couric: Violent Gaming (CBS News)

[sonicrocks942]

I wrote a letter to my dad to encourage him that halo isn't very innapropriate. In a long discussion, he said that he wouldn't let me get a game like GTA or CoD. Intrestingly, it turns out GTA has REDUCED stress in children.

[Harvest8888]

"He's curled up in a ball and we're still wacking away"....ummm you mean you are still wacking away lol. You are the person controlling it dude...

[FcTheOfficialCarbon]

why would you buy it for wii? terrible

[ZePwner350]

0:48

If u were behind him, it would look like he's jacking it!

[eleyhunterlewis20]

i love this game its manhunt 2 and not for no fucking kids so what its life ever body dies thats why the world is fucked and at war! god is pissed at us!

[eleyhunterlewis20]

i love this game its manhunt 2 and not for no fucking kids

[Charlie12241]

Why don't these idiots get that they aren't just for kids and playing doesn't mean you're going to kill someone.

[Charlie12241]

These idiots think video games are only for kids and they're dumb.

[Luckyboydied]

@MrKoala1234 what do you consider normal?

[Charlie12241]

@Luckyboydied Not being a rapist or murderer

[hbk1576]

ooo i need that game :D

[zeldagamerDX6]

wow, that guy sucks at the wiimote.

[cjjtheone]

wow fail motion controles

[hockeysavage]

targeted for teens?? the game got an AO rating originally. I don't think that teens were the intended audience.

[wtfbooomOVER9000]

WTF the description "targeted for teens" last time i checked M meant for mature



[surfingboobs]

FUUUCKK cant wait for manhunt 3 i hope it comes out for the move and kinect

but playing a game on the wii you bring the wiimote and nunchuck up and you stab the guy that nothing like stabing a guy with a sryinge or smashing thier head into a toilet.WTF

[mistamontiel]

0:43 LMFA0o0 what a wimp.

PC version rules. Fuck censorship. DL it today.

[DraGunZ11]

violent kids play violent games... btw kid below the age of 12 are fucking retards

[OMFGitsJeffX]

oh sure and you do staving moves in ZELDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????­And theres books that are violent and kidsread them in school!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[OconByrd519]

I don't think Hitler, Stalin, Ivan the Terrible, or Jack the Ripper were playing these violent video games as kids. Its a tired old argument that these folks will forever lose.

[s1r0tt]

oh my fucking god I grew up with the first manhunt and I'm 16 now and guess what? I have no police record aside from that dumbass cop that took me in for curfue anyway the point is if your kid decides to slaughter somone then it is YOUR FAULT thats right a few hours a day on a violent games isnt going to brainwash you into being a mass murderer bad parenting will

[JeremyATX]

the guy explaining the game is the best at explaining these games 

[chubs54]

imo it's mostly down to the parents with what the kids play

[cb52211]

If a child is playing this game it's their parents fault. The game's rated M so someone 17 or older would have had to buy it for them.

I hate that people blame violence on videogames. If this game makes you a deranged psychopath you clearly have more problems than a violent videogame.

[klazw]

maan, you suck at this game

[5324er]

game looks like major shit.

[Patricktheangel]

manhunt 2 is rated M 17 and up teens shouldn t play them

[Toreno88]

if there weren't violent video games, video games would suck.

[space13awesomer]

oh its okay that movies have sex and violence.but when a game has does feutures the media is like ITS GONNA KILL MY KIDS! heres a notoriety meter for contrevairsial things tobaco and alchohol and weed:0/10 Violent moveis:2/10 internet porn 5/10 videogames:11/10

[TrailerTrashThorne]

1:10 scrub lol

[Se7enBeatleofDoom]

He looks like he jerking off with the Wii mote more then playing!

[juggalojack13]

Dumb fuck's getting owned.

[EVG89O]

"handy sickle", "would have been more affective had I act- Crept up from behind"

"Death Blow" So your getting increasingly covered in blood "yes the more that you fight, the more you become covered in blood, not a game for the skemish I should said"

[kris10ish]

its just funny

[buncer00200]

I don't think you need to worry about muscle memory problems from the looks of 0:46, you wouldn't fend off a mugger like that, would you?

[jerzy862]

00:49 what is he playing the game or practising giving a handjob?

[3CountChains]

why would they put this game on wii anyways. the wii is strictly for kids

[MrTechnoSqueek]

@3CountChains yeah..oh ok...take a look at Madworld

[chaos300fgx]

@3CountChains nope, the wii is for everyone

[ThePivotSlicer]

cum on i played the uncut version 4 wii when i waas 10 cos i got the homebrew channel and its as scary as clicking on the internet shortcut on ur desktop

[bigguyeric]

lol thay want money

[gamerboy218]

katie can go fuck herself,get acting lessons,and burn in hell.FUCK YOU KATIE COURIC!

[directorman550]

its made by rockstar

that explains everything

[flashevolution]

it doesnt help that he is having fun

[zhetya]

LOL!

he's like Masturbating while using the remote

[TGeiger85]

wii is such a shit system graphics are horrible.

[RottSimba]

CBS can kiss my ass.this is bullshit ive played this awesome game when i was 10.

[eaglerouge]

God this guy sucks

[Se7enBeatleofDoom]

All they showing is how much the manhunt 2 controll suck on the Wii and unrealistic the game is.

[Elvenwarrior959]

i was laughing so hard at this guy, he's so terrible. if he wanted to show off the violence he should have done a stealth kill, those are actually kinda violent, but he was to busy flailing around like a dumbass.

[CanadianSalocin]

psychologist jerking off to manhunt 2, gross.

[cizzin]

"Players act out things in a physical way..." Yeah definatly the same as real life, for every one time he swung the hammer in game the motion he went through in real life is enough to jack off a horse and then some...

[CanadianSalocin]

lol

[Pokemaster08]

This guys looks so stupid playing the game. That's pretty violent...right, cause swinging a wii remote is the same as swinging a real axe.

[Calico117]

yep weight in the wii remote and the ax are the same

[Xgear455]

Besides of being a shitty game its for the Wii, nobody is going to buy it... Big Fail

[lioneyejr]

"...by these rather nasty gentlemen" XD HE IS A MORON XD

[ChriZZu]

I love looking for news clips about video games :DD its rly good comedy for me bcus these ppl are so stupid :D:D:D:D

[LegitDucky]

Hahaha I know right?! :P

[samfisher90]

i agree. its all the same thing everytime. "a psychiatrist, who has no life has decided to say that eatin cheese is causing violent actions in children." people have to be so stupid to renact things on games. its just bad parenting, if they cant look after the things that have come out of their vaginas, then they shud get it barracaded

[KingofTheMafia]

parents are gay

[df61660a]

even biological ones??

Think about it...

[MaLcH10R]

its more of a wank off simulater than a killing simulator

[videogamenostalgia]

wow he sucks at manhunt 2

[rackas321]

This man pwns at the wii. xD

[roaringtiger12]

he looks really into the game

[SpartunJohn117]

Oh, I guess parents can't even teach thier children the diffrence between real and fake, and right and wrong. VIDEO GAMES WON'T BE A PROBLEM IF YOU KID IS SANE IN THE HEAD. "Opp, well I guess he didn;t shoot those people because they picked on him all of his life, but because he played Manhunt."

And another thing, Manhunt, are you serious? Why even target the Wii? Why not target GTA like every other person on this Earth? At least I get to hear the bullshit about another game. CBS, SHOVE IT!

[overjiled6]

lol this gay guy is so bad at it, it so funny cuz he is just frickin swingign the controler, lol just look at him... at least learn how to play it...

[Crotum]

dont let them stick the crowbar into your head, and man you suck at it.

[Richdrum]

I hate the fucking wii if that stupid console had bever come out then this game would have been relised uncut

[hellion0076]

and that is why there are ratings on games

[chesirekitkat]

wow, he is pathetic playing the game. he needs to hide in the shadows and take em out slowly. he did the replica of button mashing but instead made his arm have a seizure. but he did do the execution later good tho. but i think that maybe if some parents stopped letting the tv raise their kids then we wouldn't get such immature kids. my mom let me play m games when i was a pre teen but also she was apart of my life and raised me right not like some dipshits who cant get a grip on reality.

[xVirgosMerlotx]

"So your motions are re-created in the game?"

Yeah, can't you see the dude on the screen acting like he's beating off with his hand up in the air? Because that's how the guy is playing the game... I don't think you can really kill someone by making a beating off motion up by your head.

[Manwhit1000facez]

Child Psychiatrist sounded like a gay person ( no offense to them).

[260Viper]

I got two words for all the motherfuckers who think that a game or movie can turn an innocent child into a serial killer. COMMON SENSE. Idk what had happened to it, but ppl better get some and wake the fuck up.

[cornpop17]

why do the news say the same thing over and over we all know a lot of games have gore and violenece thay can't stop people from buying games and plus thay make the game sound even beter and more fun on the news.

[warhawk613]

video games don't create controversy people who complain about the game creates controversy

[2612graham2612]

Hes relly bad at the game

[guigowlo]

it just came out and theyre already bashing it

[mec567]

This guy has never masterbaited.

[CyberPlagueNL]

some ppl need to get a live XD but i think manhunt 1 was more... of a story then 2. but i dunno iam just in the house right now :P

[ElfOfJapan]

Game seems too clunky, and the wiimote is too unresponsive. The countries and CBS spent too much money on this. It really didn' matter. According to CBS, this game will live in infamy forever. The game was popular for all of ten seconds. Columbine and all acts "caused" by videogames can be blamed on the parent more aprroaitaly. Manhunt 2 was not the first game dubbed too violent,and it will cerainly not be the last. Don't like games? Ignore them. Don't buy them and don't let your kids play them.

[Dragline137]

CBS is also a desensitizer by showing the Iraq war during the 6:00 news. Those are real soldiers shooting real guns at real people. This is a video game and any sane person would say "yes this a fictional character walking around a fictional world". The footage that CBS shows is horrible and CBS doesn't come with a warning label... Manhunt 2 comes with a HUGE M rating and you must be 17 years old to pruchase it. CBS is always on and readily available to anyone, now let see them bash themselves.

[therewillbeastronaut]

You can't just pretend the war isn't happening, dip shit. But then again, as I have alredy said, you can't blame video games for your problems either.

[Dragline137]

you need to understand what i am saying, I say that CBS is showing violent and graphic content like manhunt, to anyone watching the news. they are trying to win a fight against themselves (the media)

[scorp995]

ITS A FUCKING GAME

[bayneiscool]

FUCK CBC BLODDY GAMES ARE SWEET

[severebrutalized]

its CBS*

[XgianmurrietaX]

listen closely from 1.38 to 2.06

[mazhas08]

i rated the vid 4/5 , the video is good but these retards are just against Rockstar, they have something personal against them or something.though cool game.lol im getting this on my PSP to keep my interactive when on the go.

[nord10]

people shud be more concerned about websites like (the ync) not a silly game

[julop95]

i bet that guy actually loves playing the game he just doesnt want to tell katie and plus i own this game im 11 and i havent beaten someone to death with a crowbar yet from playing this

[InfectedFaithFilms]

its rated m for MANLY!!!!

[flashevolution]

@InfectedFaithFilms its for Mother approves

[bend3]

Before all these grumpy old suits figured out how to use email on their blackberry, they were preaching how the computer was a porn machine.

[ZACMAN1992]

oooooohhhhhhh give me a fucking break who cares if its violent??!!

[renderman86]

I call bullshit. Video games don't desensitize. I've played violent games since I was a kid and I don't act remotely violent towards anyone. I can kill people all day in a video game but watching Discovery Health still makes me squeamish. Explain that Dr. Bullshit PHDumbass

[chubs54]

i see their point the violence like gta manhunt etc but parents gotta take responisly to not buy the game/s for kids that are violent and it aint bullshit

[PumaFau]

THIS IS SO BULLSHIT FUCK THE NEWS

[PumaFau]

"the controversial video game targeted for teens."

That is so stupid.....

[bulletsNguts]

I'm not sure but I would think this game has a mature rating. It's not intended to be played by kids. Blame the parents not the game..

[shapery2794]

That guy seems to be moving the Wii Remote pretty fast... I think he spanks the monkey a little too much...

[1upgreen]

lol , my mom watches me play that shit and laughs. STOP TRYING TO BASH VIDEO GAMES YOU WHORES!!! we are very mellow people and never hurt anybody!!

[josephmccolley]

Ya, I'll bet that if I were to flail my arms around like that I might be able to kill someone too. Listen, video games are good for people. If you don't want your kids to play a video game then spend a little time making sure that they don't and a little less time doing it is whatever you're doing. What it comes down to is that ever sence video games became popular violence rates have dropped.

[SatansPeePee]

WHY do they always talking about kids playing these games??? I'll make it very simple: if your kids are playing this game, YOU ARE A BAD PARENT! STOP BLAMING THE GAME AND START PARENTING YOU DUMB BASTARDS!

[thatgracefulledge]

Guy on Gamespot said the guy was jacking off with the controller nunchuck.

[jubjubxgamepro]

lol look at the dude play the wii. swing away

[SeijiMutoX2]

The Wii also has parental controls. The parents can decide if the console plays M rated, E, etc. if they take the time to learn how to do it. So this further protects kids/teens from sneaking the game onto the console when mom and dad arent' around. There is even a pin number that only the parent have to control the Wii system. How much more can they do?

[MrJak36]

Well, heres an idea, don't buy your child an M rated game.

[DarkJay3225]

You got a kind under 18 dont get him manhunt, its real simple. If kids get their hands on games like this its the parents fault.

[krypticpuppet]

I'm not a parent, Though if i had a child, i sure wouldn't spoil him/her also not even for a holiday. Plus i wouldn't be blind to technology like other parents.

Yes, parents do need to be aware and not stupid. It's not any of the Game Developers fault, That STUPID PEOPLE buy the game for thier kids. When they should see the RATING.

Parents/Guardians Remember To be aware of RATINGS. Then You wouldn't be SHOCKED in the first place.

[Cypher707]

@krypticpuppet you suck...

[krypticpuppet]

Though the parents still put on a fight to Buy it. When we tell them the FACTS of the game.

Remember it's just a game that happens to be rated mature.

To The child Psychologist. There is no evidence that the game is directed to children. And i have seen kids who imitate, the brats on Nanny, their Parents, the cartoon Tom & jerry, with frying pans; other projectiles.

[krypticpuppet]

Hello to Morons. (CBS Reporter and DR.)

Please put your Facts Straight. The game is rated M for Mature 17 and up, not for Children.

There is other Violent entertainment that has too much Violence. And it isn't Manhunt 2.

Why don't people who are parents listen to the Sale reps. When They tell them that It isn't for their childs age. Though the parents tell the sale rep. "He is only a child". When we Blatently say it isn't For the kids age.

[decayedmatter]

Also Katie Couric needs to shut her fucking soccer mom sensationalist cunt muscle mouth up and take a big black cock down her throat instead.

[SeijiMutoX2]

Agreed. Katie Couric chiming into with 2 cents, trying to make this game out the be the Devil's handbook. "I don't know who would want to play this game." STFU, like this game is made for over the hill 40 something moms. 20 and 30 somethings males is what they're aiming for, it's the same reason we like action films, we want action, violence, etc.

[decayedmatter]

The description for the video is retarded as well. Targetted for teens? Ummm yea that would explain why it's rated M for MATURE, and not T for TEEN. Go kill yourselves retarded sensationalist morons. Because us gamers aren't actually violent enough to kill you ourselves like you all think.

[decayedmatter]

Not once do they mention this game is rated M FOR MATURE. Do they know what that means?? It means 17 years old +, they keep acting like this game was designed for kids just because it's a videogames and all videogames are toys for kids just cause they are a bunch of old farts who can't understand "DEM DAMN KIDS TWIDDLY STICK GAMES"

[moeezS]

I become more angry when playing Halo 3 than Manhunt, because everyone's a jerk and it's such stiff competition. Hostel II and other violent pieces of "entertainment" should also be scrutinised, not just games. But hey, games are the latest scapegoat of your society.

That Scott guy was pretty objective about it all, probably the most rational person about this game in the media. Then the psych guy came and lost all his credibility as a doctor. Doctors do use science and evidence, right?

[Quakmaor]

THIS GAME ROCKS!

[ballju]

"that's THEIR fault"

while that this their fault that the blame it on video games instead of doing something, it is hard apart from the vchip and the latest consoles to limit inappropriate stuff by minors (friends/older brothers/sisters), if parent groups/parents focus on all content and preventing kids from accessing it instead of just video games and banishing the violent video games then I might listen to what theparent groups/parents say. and no it isn't too violent:)

[DanM194]

Parents should be guarding what they play, and if they dont, that's THEIR fault. There is NO NEED for these stupid reports.

[jeezychreezy1]

He looks like he is jacking off. My cousin living with me made me more violent than any game. This game looks like self defense to me. THESE ARE FACTS?!?!?! rhetorical question
