I haven't heard any important current events on broadcast news or read any newspapers regarding the escape of a volent video-game character "somehow" escaping from its fictitious gaming world, and slaughtered, killed, decapitated, or raped a human being, or possessed people in the art of violence. Point is, violence video-games aren't to blame-people with mentally dark criminal minded fantasies are to blame. Including little Johnny and Sarah.
I think people realize that the people they're shooting on the screen aren't real. People know the difference between reality and a video game.
When parents say that if kids play violent video games, it's going to make them want to go and shoot up their school, they're basically saying that kids are too stupid to tell the difference between a video game and reality.
When it come to video game violence it will always look like a video game and not close to real life. That is way i think movies would have a bigger effect if any and what kinda desensitize me was things like faces of death and rotten if you seen it you know what i mean. Games them selves have not effected me i am calmer now then when i was a kid and i play more FPS and the like now.
People who get affected by violence are affected from everywhere, Movies are probably the most violent... saw for example, or even jaws even though I never watched it, just heard it was very gory.
the violence in games has always been so over the top that its almost cartoonish and unless a person is already disturbed in some way it wont have a negative effect on them.
Games now have a lot of gore. But it started way back in DOS with DOOM and the gore just got more real and more real. I think violence in games is still not as bad as what we see in the new and Tv shows and movies. What I find Japan puts sex and violence and thats a whole new ballpark.. I don't find violence any issue at all. What find a issue is the jack asses you find you play online and how they treat people thats what I think parents really need to worry about.
This video doesn't really ask the right questions... You're basically asking kids if they think violent games will make them murder people...
The problem is how we are gravitating towards more violence, why we embrace it, and if "being numb" to that sort of thing is really a "good" thing. Another thing to understand is that news media does not "glorify" a murder story. It serve to remind people the consequences real evil.
Compare that to interactively decapitating someone "for fun".
Games have ratings, and kids can only get Mature games if mommy or daddy buy it for them. So they can't buy a game, and then turn around and say it's terrible for their kid's social development. If a parent thinks a game is too much for their kid then don't let them play it. It's as simple as that. And adults should be mature enough to understand the game is not reality. People who are influenced by games to be violent in real life are already unstable. The game didn't make them do anything.
That opening was so funny, the black and white shot sequence. YES arm pumping action. great video. i agree with u on that subject...and ps POW 3 is sick!
i dont think its making humanity more violence. i like to think of it more as a release to not do them. :D. also if you look in the movie industries, almost every movie is getting bloodier and more destructive. In history there wasn't movies like Saw and hostel.
u kinda forgot to mention MW2 with that no Russian scene..
GTA4 shows violence, in a very realistic way. But, people should know better then to go rob a bank and think they can get shot 50 times and still make it out.
Oh yeah! And just to state one thing, if the Real gamers ( not now adays fanboys ) Do play games, they should realize gaming from reality. But if it was just a kid! Thats another story
Well, Im a gamer, Im not a fanboy who buys just violence games, I play all games and I enjoy them all! And I just recently bought God of War3 ( I know its not out yet, lucky me I got it earlier ) This is the most Brutal game in the history of earth
Hey maybe things are turning around with music games. A lot of people that played the hard core violent games are now playing the music game. Not all but a lot of people.
You know the weird thing is, i never really thought of GOW as being that gory~ i just think its kinda epic lol ^-^;;; On another note~! some games excel by not being gory at all! take the Final Fantasy series for example! 13 almost 14 installments~ srsly?! XD
. where there are actualy human beings., innocent that you can kill in the most brutal way u can imagine using anything u want in the game. those id think are dangerous in this area. because in GTA everything seems so easy which may encourage people to live somewhat close to that. carjackin. or stealing. robbing.. although I still love the game. but I think movies can be more influential than games. all games except the GTA series.
well. the GTA games are probably the most dangerous in the influence area.. but other games. like when your killing mosnsters... or Aliens. or mutated people. or zombies. I dont think thats really in the same type of influence. because in those games your most often saving the world or a country. but GTA and Saints Row and True Crime , those sandbox dowhateveruwanttoanybody games.
But I dunno, violence is violence. It sells, it interests us, it pulls us in. When we see a trailer for a game or movie and like Kristen says, we see some guy yank a monster's tusk off and jam it into its eye... we're like, "Damn, I wanna SEE that'. But I mean, most of us have the common sense to not go on a killing spree just cause we saw the latest Saw movie or finished playing the latest God of War game.
Depends on the person. There probably are a few disturbed individuals that play FPS imagining themselves mowing down their real-life enemies... and then actually setting out to do it. But that's a small percentage.
I think games get targetted more cause they throw you into the action. Sure, anyone can watch a bloody movie, but a game lets you be the guy with the gun or knife and take part in it, and I guess for those that can't seperate fiction from reality it becomes an issue.
YOu know what i think, I do not think that video games cause people to be more violent, i would explain more but my brain is tired, btw, This is John Reeve, I is awake and sleepy and off to scool, but I agree with your video
I think a violent game could be dangerous in the hands of someone that isn't mature enough to make the distinction between entertainment and reality. But that's true for movies and music as well.
And earlier games didn't really incorporate the level of violence we see today probably out of fear. The attitude towards games is changing as gamers get older, but even today we see a Fox News special on a softcore love scene in Mass Effect.
i think that people these days over use the word love, honestly i love popping mad skills with my famas in Mw2, and doing a double assasination in C2, but people say they love things and other people with out accually meaning it, in other words, love is too strong a word for what people now a days use it for
@GameMeetsGirl: Very true. But on topic, I don't think videogames have desensitized me to violence and that's probably because the games, despite all the visual improvements, still don't really convey what violence is like in real life. Even GOW3 when you're ripping the guys head off doesn't come close to watching someone get decapitated (ala those beheading videos).
Then again I may not feel desensitized because movies have done that a long time ago.
The violence in games and films is in a different world. people are able to tell the difference between games and real life, if they arnt then theres something wrong with them
Games have definitely become more violent. Seeing it in a game and seeing it in real life is a dramatic difference. If someone doesn't see that they have serious issues with or without violent games.
As a gamer i dont really think about that stuff when i play violent games i dont really concentrate on the thing that i just cut somebody in two peaces i just want to get on with the game :D
I think most new and old generation game developers have used age rating restrictions to get away with alot more contraversial issues in games than before and i think some games use extreme violence as a marketing ploy to get you to buy them like what " blood " did for Mortal kombat, and over time it has been a type of "badge of honnor" to own and play these contraversial video games.
my opinion on if violence in the media makes people violent or numb to gore is that it depends on the person's state of mind. giving a mentaly unstable person a game like manhunt or GTA is like giving a monkey a gun there is a very good chance somene is going to get hurt. i play some of the most violent games and watch movies like saw but i still get saddend when i hear about a murder or suicide in the news.
The way I see it, game are more following society than leading it in these cases, I mean there is more violence in other mediums so the games seem to push themselves to be more violent.
Yeah I think I said all that right but there is one thing I can't agree with you about and that is Mario not having much violence I mean you kill things by jumping on their heads and shooting them with fire and to beat Bowser you drop him into a pool of lava I mean really :p
Actually, ever since the first violent video game came out, crime rates have seriously dropped since then.
and in japan, they created a rape game, where you get higher and higher points for violating the girl, and sexual harrassment and rape charges have dropped down.
it's not so much desensitizing us, as much as allowing us to release our angry, violent sides, without hurting anyone.
@theobsessor11294 You bring up a good point! This seems to be a safe outlet. Sometimes I come home and play shooters when I'm upset. But I'd never touch a gun. GOOD POINT!
It's supposed to be no different than movies, but thanks to the manipulative exploits of those like Jack Thompson, home video gaming has not been ALLOWED to grow up as an entertainment medium, thus people still complaing about violence affecting you in the long run (when these same people probably turn around to have horror marathons at home).
Perhaps the entertainment industry as whole (games, movies, music, etc.), but not games specifically.
Humans are born with the instinct to survive - AKA "Survival of the fittest!" When we hear about other people dying, we'll say "Oh! That's sad or terrible," but two other things, consciously or subconsciously, click with us:
- A comprehension of how to avoid meeting the same fate.
- A few less people to compete against in this world.
personally I think that people Need to exercise their freedom of choice (in terms of videogames. Media is a bit more in your face 24/7) Generally when someone plays a gore related video game, theyre playing it due to the gameplay being good. Not the fact that you can pull out someones eyes and choke them with em. The whole fact that its a video game is to surreal to really be like " OMG THIS GAME IS SO BAD ITS GOING TO CORRUPT SOMEONE" 9 times outta ten someone will play a game becaise itsgood
1. i enjoy violence irl, thas just the kind of guy i am so i've never become numb to it through games, tho i've probs become more numb to gore since spending too much time on the internet.
2. in game you may kill someone but on the news you see killing but that will be real people really dying, is one worse?
3. i dont think there is any direct relation between becoming numb to violence in games and becoming violent.
accually its not the ppl that change but the way you can show it (ex back in 1900 it was custom for the farther to hit his childen when they did something wrong)
but i have to say that some ppl may let themselves be influenced by that violence but that was allways the case but because of mass media we now know of thouse incedents (or do you guys know anyone that went to a school and killed someone... i guess not but u heard from ppl doing it on the radio/TV/internet)
Our whole society is being numbed by all the violence, not just gamers. I would say that video games got more violent along with other media such as news or movies. But why wouldn't movies get more violent, every time a more violent movie comes out, it out sells the previous so why should directors, producers, and writers make their movies less violent. They wont if we don't give them a good reason to.
@forrest225 I agree. society drives it. What about other countries though. Europe is much more likely to show sex over violence. Violence is percieved differently there, don't you think?
I don't know what image you have from Europe, but we are mostly influenced by American media, and I don't think that there is a fundamental difference. Maybe the only things that make it from Europe to the U.S. are things that are different or controversial, so you get the image that we only show sex. We're not all Lars von Trier, you know ;)
@Appelfruitje I always had the idea Europe focused on Sex vs. Violence. I've had these ideas from conversations with friends. Sometimes I see news segements about stuff like that. Thanks for opening my eyes.
I really think it depends on the individual and they way they perceive reality.. Most gamers know the difference between a game and real life violence.
So I guess it CAN cause someone to do something crazy...but 99.9999 percent of the time it wont.
Also id like to add that violent video games are not causing violence or making us numb to it. It is a game, i know a guy who went to war and he said that no video game is as horrific as it. It makes us numb to violence in other games/movies. Not to real life. And some of the best selling games have little violence. Like Mario.
@kryptx101 But the ones that get the most publicity have the MOST violence. Look at Modern Warfare 2. It just outsold any form of MEDIA. More than any movie, any game, ever.
Only an idiot would do things they see in games and as long as its not a sex game, my mom doesn't care. :)

Historically speaking, humans are violent.
There's arguments to be made that it's hardcoded into our genes.
Heck, the very reason people respond positively to depictions of it is likely hardcoded.
However, there was once a time when starry eyed teens would hear a charismatic speech about the glory in war and sign up to march to their demise.
I'd say ignorance is still a greater threat than any amount of desensitisation.

as a gamer i also indulge in the gore fest but the difrence between us and some killer is the fact that we know it is wrong to harm others
awesome vid by way :)

accually its not the ppl that change but the way you can show it (ex back in 1900 it was custom for the farther to hit his childen when they did something wrong)
but i have to say that some ppl may let themselves be influenced by that violence but that was allways the case but because of mass media we now know of thouse incedents (or do you guys know anyone that went to a school and killed someone... i guess not but u heard from ppl doing it on the radio/TV/internet)

Our whole society is being numbed by all the violence, not just gamers. I would say that video games got more violent along with other media such as news or movies. But why wouldn't movies get more violent, every time a more violent movie comes out, it out sells the previous so why should directors, producers, and writers make their movies less violent. They wont if we don't give them a good reason to.

@forrest225 I agree. society drives it. What about other countries though. Europe is much more likely to show sex over violence. Violence is percieved differently there, don't you think?

I don't know what image you have from Europe, but we are mostly influenced by American media, and I don't think that there is a fundamental difference. Maybe the only things that make it from Europe to the U.S. are things that are different or controversial, so you get the image that we only show sex. We're not all Lars von Trier, you know ;)

@Appelfruitje I always had the idea Europe focused on Sex vs. Violence. I've had these ideas from conversations with friends. Sometimes I see news segements about stuff like that. Thanks for opening my eyes.

I really think it depends on the individual and they way they perceive reality.. Most gamers know the difference between a game and real life violence.
So I guess it CAN cause someone to do something crazy...but 99.9999 percent of the time it wont.

Also id like to add that violent video games are not causing violence or making us numb to it. It is a game, i know a guy who went to war and he said that no video game is as horrific as it. It makes us numb to violence in other games/movies. Not to real life. And some of the best selling games have little violence. Like Mario.

@kryptx101 But the ones that get the most publicity have the MOST violence. Look at Modern Warfare 2. It just outsold any form of MEDIA. More than any movie, any game, ever.
