If you read the newspaper articles from the era, you wouldn't be surprised to see some of the same ignorant ideas bandied about when Ulysses by James Joyce was going to be brought to the US. It was claimed that it could corrupt young adults that were old enough to read it.
Exactly. Once again, there is no debate. The earth is not flat, it is spherical. If violent video games created violent individuals then murders all over the world would have increased over the past decade. They did not. Not even in the USA, in fact, they have decreased in the USA.
Yeah, you really, really have to to something that is quite good. Books, movies, and TV to games haven't done all that well with Lego games being the exception that proves the rule (and they are starting to get stale.)
There were a few LOTR games that pulled it off.. I liked Battle for Middle Earth RTS. Some Star Wars games were amazing...others not so much. I think the Devs have to be really, really into the universe in which they are deving.
Well, let's think about this, if gamers kill massive amounts of people... especially in a society where gun ownership is high... I had better leave North America... Canadians play all sorts of violent games and they have some of the highest gun ownership. I can just picture them armed to the teeth, almost feral human beings just waiting at the border to invade the US en masse on their massive shooting sprees!
...or, maybe psychopaths are actually just psychopaths.
They didn't post my "City of Crime" I wonder why... >:D
I am pretty sure it is. I just wish it wasn't a Nintendo exclusive.
Lots of angry people on lately. So many disagrees. Oh well. That would be an intersting way to look at it but in the vid with the devs they were thinking that Destiny would be "alive." If it were single player what would be the fun of things happening while you were off at work?
@finbars Dust 514 is free for anyone that wishes to play it. Planetside won't be on Xbox. I wasn't confused by the trailer. Looked pretty obvious what type of game it is. I wonder if it will have perma death.
They are still around. And you are right, they never predicted the end of the world.
Some people are just idiots.
" Destiny is coming to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3" We win.
Dust is free too, or is that not what you were thinking? Anyway, Destiny looks good. Hope it is Persistent Shooter. A PFPS, anyone?
Indeed they are incredible. And what of Media Molecule or Quantum Dream or Level 5?
OT: "Skyrim Was Generic" Says Witcher 3 Game Director....ummm sorry, but, but I just got the latest game informer and while I hope the Witcher 3 is an amazing success, it looks like a Skyrim clone. I literally didn't see anything "new" or exciting. It actually seemed pretty generic. In fact, I bet you couldn't tell the difference between the two in a screen sh...
Well I can definitely see the potential of the Wii U controller for racing games.
And don't forget what he has done to education! Far worse than GW's NCLB.
Unfortunately the picture you have is a fake. It looks fake and I would hate to have that in my hands. There are better fakes out there, but, until Feb 20th, I am not believing any of it.
I love them too and I am level 13 with only 3 plats. Lol.
No kidding. Delay it a few weeks so the title is working the way they want it to? No problem on this end.
I got 49 disagrees the other day for claiming it would launch at $350. This article is claiming $400 (not too far off).
N4G, I gotta love ya!
I want to play as the "Coming Soon" Race. What would the attributes to those characters be?
I imagine they have very high libidos, but that would go without saying. They seemed to have some strange affinity to cowls. And if it's fantasy AND cowls, then that means magic!
Heisenberg gets and intelligent bubble just for using the term "Browncoats."
