I didn't say I was worried about being killed by people. I'm positing a game instance where, instead of shooting and killing you on sight, other players wait until you do something shitty to kill you outright. It's not Gears of War. It's not Team Fortress 2. It's not Call of Duty. You can't "win the match" by killing…

This was such a hardcore Slippery Slope Fallacy that I fell and broke my ankle halfway down and quit reading.

What if I want to play in a mode that allows me the option of shooting people with or inside my posse, without the constant dread of getting within earshot of another player that's going to just beeline right for me and kill me over and over and over and over and over and over ad nauseam until I just get tired of…

How do you plagiarize something you yourself created? You need to up your dosage, man.

I've been trying to say this since the game came out, but every time I open my mouth America tells me to go fuck myself. Parental and personal responsibility is as dead as chivalry and disco, man. They'd pay for a four-year-old boy to get a lap dance if it shut him up for ten minutes.

I'm pretty sure the makers of the game are fully aware that this game will be in the bargain bin by the end of the year, only to be purchased by the cast of Duck Dynasty for their kids. It's resume-filler on the way to something better, which is why hunting games look and play like crap most of the time.

We don't have a democracy. We have a republic, and that's a generous description of what we have, which is actually a cross between a corporatocracy and a dictatorship. And until we can manage to re-develop an actual democracy, it would behoove us to quit screwing with the bull and causing everyone to get the horns.

I'm not being sarcastic, you're literally ignoring what I'm saying and filling in what you didn't read with what you wanted to hear instead.

I literally JUST TOLD YOU that video games don't cause violence. Are you even listening?

Oh, I'm fully aware my father is a piece of shit. So I know firsthand what a bad parent looks like, and not giving a shit what your kids are doing is a good way to be one.

Because you apparently don't care who gets what and when kids get adult video games it pisses off the people that write legislation that can kick video games in the balls.

Guess how bratty, spoiled children are created? They aren't dropped off by the Asshole Stork in full brat mode.

They don't, but buying it for them is just feeding the bible-thumper crowd. I guess you like it when lawyers and politico try to get your favorite pastime made illegal.

Everybody's all like, "But I played so-and-so when I was a baby and I only turned out to be a shitheel comments troll, not a murderer!"

If "fucking retarded" means I know how to capitalize and punctuate and how not to buy adult-rated games for my children, then yes, I guess I am retarded. And when we're done playing GTAV, we'll get the whole family together for a porno marathon in the living room, Grandma, little Billy, everybody.

ITT: people played violent video games when they were kids and turned out fine

God Christ at all the people in this thread "I played blah blah and turned out fine."

I am fully aware of this. Porn doesn't cause rape either, but I wouldn't buy my son a Sasha Grey video. Take off that tinfoil hat so you can hear me better.

I'm a 32-year-old veteran, you dumb shit. I don't even own a Playstation.

Actually, it's against all of those lunatic talking heads. If no one buys Mature-rated violent video games for their kids, then Bill O'Reilly and Pat Robertson and Jack Thompson can't blame them for children's bad behavior.
