Why We Kill

After wrapping your fingers around his throat, you smash his face into a burning hot-plate and hold it firmly against the bright red steel while his skin chars and blisters. His screams hint that he’s about to give in and rat on his friends. In Splinter Cell: Conviction, torture is a gameplay mechanic. Put a new disc in. Now you’re Ezio Auditore Da Firenze jamming knives into the throats of your family’s enemies – a particularly terrifying and gruesome way to be murdered, if it’s possible to rank such things.

Oh btw full spectrum warrior series and americas army the video game series look them up there's your virtual propaganda killing and recruiting for the long bs just for the elections and oil war.

If you actually read the article you would see that it isn't a "scare article". The writer did a great job in going into detail about why violence is in games and why many enjoy violent games.

Resources. People just hide behind other reasons.

We kill people in games to suppress our rage in real life, in my opinion. I might kill about a hundred people in a gaming session in an FPS game, but at least I never feel the urge to do so in real life.

Gamers are generally very calm, timid people and that's because they can de-stress by kicking back with a game and just forgetting about the rest of their life for a while.

1. People love destruction.
2. It's fun and satisfying.
It's THAT simple.

KittyEmperor5361d ago

I think that the only reason that I start killing people is because they started shooting at me first. Well it's either that or the fact that I'm being chased by the cops and mowing down a bunch of bystanders is the quickest way to a shortcut that will loss the cops.

You cant kill in video games, You simply press buttons until an NPC falls to the ground and is programmed to stop moving, and if you are lucky, digital red stuff comes out which is supposed to resemble blood.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing15d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit15d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing15d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9215d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
