drewpants: If find it really interesting that the civilized, concerned people who are concerned about this game throw phrases like 'primitive' and 'get your head checked' while people supporting this game basically argue that if you don't like it, don't play it.

It seems like such a simple solution and one that doesn't throw accusations at anyone's mental state based purely on personal opinions towards violent video games.

I'll all for this game because mindless carnage is something I would not consider acceptable in public and nor would I ever want to harm anyone another person. I'm comfortable enough with my moral compass and understanding of the rights of others that a violent games isn't going to turn me into a killer.

Does that make me primitive? Possibly, but I'm cultured enough to not attack people in the street or throw insults online...

micktiegs_8: What was so bad about replying to me directly? I'm not talking about morality here. I'm just saying, if someone finds 'kill, kill, kill' in a real world style setting to be entertainment then I say they don't know entertainment if it slapped them across the head. How about you stop making assumptions on what I'm trying to say and maybe validate with me first.

micktiegs_8: enlighten me? It's a known fact that humans have a primal instinct that follows curiosity to what I was talking about. This is not an assumption. I can't be assuming people are entertained by the game either, because they obviously are.

Oh and are you trying to say Irony? if not, phew.

XYCat: You see everything the game has to offer in like five minutes since there's no other content than the violence for the sake of violence content. With no plot or jokes there's no reason to spend time watching the same execution animations and listening to the same screams over and over. Unless you're a psychopath.

XYCat: Even the most gruesome exploitation movies have some kind of plot or jokes.

drewpants: Entertainment doesn't have to be funny, clean, happy or safe. Many games, films, works of literature, songs and and thing else you care to mention have content that is uncomfortable, however they allow people to experience feelings and events in a safe environment, which in my opinion enhances our lives by allowing us to explore complex emotions.

If that worries you - just stick with the media that suits you.

Do you then assert that primal instincts are inherently wrong?

micktiegs_8: I'm saying as a game, it's not entertaining.

micktiegs_8: No, I don't. I'm saying as a game, it's not entertaining. I'm not bothered by it. I'd rather watch movies that do the same thing. Read the earlier post, it's not the content that bothers me, it's the fun factor or lack thereof. Other mediums are better suited for it. That's all, I can't say it any clearer.

fronzelneekburm: The Jack Thompsons and Jonathan McIntoshs of this world would all nod in unison. You could apply the exact same line of reasoning to the original Doom.

fronzelneekburm: Whatever plot the original Guinea Pig has, it's quite little. I'd argue that Hatred is going to have more plot than that film.

Keep in mind that I'm playing devil's advocate for a game that I have close to zero interest in. The 2edgy4u posturing is just a tad too blatant. I just don't get the upset over pixels.

catpower1980: And once again, it shows gamer people (Americans in general) are more prone to accept violence rather than erotism. Would Gabe give Seduce Me a second chance?

XYCat: You're trying to defeat demons from hell in doom so they don't take over the earth unlike trying to kill civilians for no reason whatsoever. So there is no real comparison.
