LoboBlanco: Some people don´t like it, although, since some of the genres I like (RTS/FPS) involve doing that, well........ :D
That said I really didn´t like when I had to defend myself from the dogs in COD :(
If the game requires you to kill people, then it's fine; but animals?! That's too much!

Randalator: Yes.

That's why it took me 17 years to beat Doom. That game is hard when you're not killing...
Question: how did get past the Hellknights at the end of episode 1?

Back when I played Command & Conquer I used to leave the footmen in the base so they wouldn't get any damage and send just the mechanized units to the field ( imagining they were remote controlled :P)
Yeah, I too tend to play games that have at least a fair amount of Blood & gore included

LoboBlanco: But what really is a sin is people that go around thinking that a naked pixel will damage people more than bleeding gory pixels. Those scary humans (! >.>).
heh yeah, with my bethesda games (when I could buy them PC steamless) nude body mods were some the first mods downloaded ( I dislike welded-on undies)

If I thought it was a sin, then I'd believe in God and that is abit primitive for me! :D

Ha! Blowing up animals is the best part of games. C&C Red Alert 2, attaching explosives to cows was so much fun. Aiming for the dogs in road rash haha. Oh to be a kid again.

I will answer your question with another question: why would "killing" in a videogame be wrong?

I love Postal 2 for being unbiased and indiscriminate about killing people and animals, like shoving a shotgun up a cat's ass and using it to blow someones head off at the same time.

I'm also reminded of how people complained about killing the dogs in Wolfenstein 3D, so the SNES port changed them to giant mutant rats. I'm not sure how that helped...

yoshino: I don't mind at all.
Even Mario killed a lot of mushroom soldiers by stamping.
That mass murderer killed so many of my friends and relatives...

but to be fair, I've gotten him and his skinny-ass brother a few good times too.

Good job! :D

Most of the time, it's not my fault they put my [virtual] life at the risk, so I have to fight back to survive [and beat the game].

And I don't believe in concept of heaven or hell, so it doesn't matter to me anyway. Sorry, all those Carmageddon peds..

Legend has it that after you finish a video game with a lot of killing and if you let the credits roll up to the end you will see the relatives of all those you killed coming for their funerals.............

Indeed. Deft political negotiations with Hell Knights rarely go well.

As to whether or not it's wrong to kill in a video game. No. Now, losing the mental ability to distinguish reality from fantasy and actually killing actual human beings in real life in a very real way with real weapons? Yes. That is very much wrong.

This question also brings the various extreme elements of left and right in politics to a firm and total agreement... just for different reasons. For the right it's because 'God said so.' For the left it's because 'those killed may have been women or minorities.' How about killing in a video game is a fantasy, and killing real people in reality isn't. Obfuscating the lines between the fantasy and the reality for political, social, or religious reasons just takes people down bad paths time and time again. To say nothing about all of the unhinged lunatics who get to run amok while politicians get fat on donations and kickbacks for promising a war on ___.

Jesus Christ. All I wanted to do was have some fun shooting zombie chainsaw monsters in Doom. I turn around and suddenly we're having to graduate MIT in tech AND Harvard in philosophy just to keep the hobby alive. I do NOT wish to have to think too deeply about anything that involves fast cars, machineguns, or naked motorcycle sluts from hell. Video games cover all of those quite well.

Metal Gear Solid 3 did something like that mid-game, where you can see the ghosts of everyone you killed. I killed so many people, I had to sit there for a long time waiting for them all to go by...

I have never seen that from that point of view. I usually have like 2/3 to walk past and that's it.

Chess is a game for serial killers.
