Ha!

Though, question: Are they suggesting that systems SHOULD lock out used games? Isn't that what we DON'T want? Funny, just...what?

This is what makes me keep going. Every day I read article after article about death, gun violence, rape, and general hatred and I lose faith in humanity. But then I get reminded that there are people out there that instead of being dicks, they're building Lego Helms Deep, or recreating the battle of Hoth in their…

What's positive about violence in games?

"Violence exists."

Great answer, college professor! But seriously, this is a non-answer.

It's a bizarre question to ask about the positives of violence. There really aren't any positives to violence and, as you suggest, it's basically a neutral element. It's nothing more than a tool used to tell a story and elicit a response from the subject. There's violence in all forms of storytelling (games, books,…

Something does not have to be positive to be allowed to exist. Sugary foods are pretty much unhealthy, Shall we ban their production? Material X is in every engineering sense better than Material Y, but costs more, shall we cease production of Material Y? Owning dangerous animals like snakes has no benefit to society,…

Y'know what, I tried to tweet a response to Couric, but you're right… it's not that easy to tweet what positives playing a violent videogame may be. Saying it's a "stress-reliever" sounds like a cop-out, but it's true in my case.

Actually, the first comment in the second batch addresses the matter very succinctly.

"I am your wallet's reckoning.."

Yeah I remember way back in alpha when Notch came back from his honeymoon he was promising lots of underwater content because he had been scuba diving. It would be one of the best areas of the game to expand, I think.

I've always wanted some huge things in the ocean biomes. Sharks would be interesting, but it would sweet if, in deep water, there were things like whales or some monstrously huge fish that could scoop you up in one bite.

Sorry, but how is this a... "serious message"? It's certainly a... message, of sorts. I suppose. But what does it say? What does it imply? How much further does it go, beyond just saying: "Nah games are cool."

I get it, and I agree with the message. Anyone who thinks videogames are bad for you isn't a fucking idiot,…

I get like 6 fps a second in the forest and I've still spent over 50 hours with this game.(since alpha)

This occurred to be today.

I agree that the game given to customers was not the one represented by screenshots and trailers. But if developers have to be worried about litigation against them because someone thought that the game was not as good as how they thought it would be is setting a bad precedent for the gaming industry.

I'm constantly confused by people saying "90s" in relation to this. To me it screams 80s. The narrator of this video keeps saying 90s, yet lists films and sources from the 80s. Terminator? 80s. Robocop? 80s. Visuals? 80s. Music? 80s. 90s to me is things like Jurassic Park.

(Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah!)

Truly a ... Far Cry... from the source material.
