Mass Effect/Bioware blamed for CT shootings

i'd put fake money on that atleast half the people who died played call of duty and gtareligiously.

First of all your childish insults just lowers your quality to form a proper opinion, stop being so belligerent and realize people have different opinions than yours. Secondly, its semantics in the sense that people will find a way to blame around the problem and not the problem itself. I think blaming guns is as ludicrous as blaming video games but someone can still make a statement on how a video game fed into this person's insanity and caused him to snap.Kamekazi_69

calling people cünt sure gets them riled up.

take your own advice, and take a better read at the second paragraph. or did you give me a lecture on how banal it is to blame a weapon for the actions of the individual in lieu of ignoring it.

Didn't get me riled up, but why are you so angry?

Relax, and reread what I said. I didn't give you a lecture, you commented to my response on this issue, and I responded with my opinion. stop replying to me then if you can't take an opinion and have to react with such hostility. Kamekazi_69

calling you a cünt, means I'm angry?
Dude, you're wildly misinterpreting my emotional state because of a harmless four letter word. I did re-read it

this, while not in any sense formal, can be considered a "lecture."

And I do respect your opinion in regards to the fact that the weapon has about as much culpability as the influence of video games; which is to say none.

The reason I asked you to re-read my original response is because I was AGREEING with you.
I just didn't like your analogy, as it's proper sh!te.

That's not so crazy. It's possible the shooter could have been indoctrinated by the Reapers.

But the reapers will return to our galaxy on the 21st. So that can' t be the case.

Yet GTA was never blamed for anything, when you can drive by and steal cars and all that stuff. Yet Mass Effect? C'mon Media, at least blame with some sense here :lol:Bloodseeker23

You said I was getting riled up, when I wasn't sooo, what is that called what you were doing? I was simply stating that there really was no need for it, and didnt have to be belligerent. I didnt attack anyone.

I thought you were agreeing which is why I didn't understanding the name calling. It doesn't bother me, I just didn't understand why. I didnt call you any names. It was a simplistic analogy, and I agree with that but if you didnt like it in the form I said, it please tell me. If you interpet it as a lecture, it wasn't meant to be one. At least we can agree on what extent can we blame something like videogames, or guns, which is none. The person has to be mentally sick to begin with.

I added that word as mere jest, and to test how it can seriously offend. I apologize for the childish name calling, it was uncalled for (even though I did have myself a good chuckle at your expense)

Hmm, what's really harrowing about this is that it was the brother who liked Mass Effect not the murderer himself. That's how desperate people are to blame things for which they have such a tenuous grasp of understanding.

I don't think even Renegade Shepard would have done this. Unless they had all been indoctrinated by Reaper forces but if that is the case the shooting is the least of our worries.

Don't know what's more reta... nope can't say that here... Don't know what's more dumb the responses or the mess up. Also shows one of the issues with social media.

I hate when people immediately accuse videogames for such things.... Mass Effect isn't even a violent game compared to almost every other game out there. Its actually a pretty moderate game by my standards considering it contains nothing obscene beyond sex lolSocialist696

You still shoot people for fun...it's disgusting. How do you get joy out of simulated murder?

Well usually its either video games or heavy metal that get the blame. So far we're 1/2.

This is reallyyyyyy old news by now.

Have they blamed Marilyn Manson yet? Apparently he's still responsible for the Columbine shootings.

Oh wow...here we go with this bs again.

It's lax gun control laws, it's video games, it's our school system.........it's EVERYTHING but the fact this was just some mentally ill nut who had the will to kill.

Oh wow...here we go with this bs again.

CHOASXIII

It's not BS. Ever since I played Mass Effect 1 I try to have sex with every blue woman I see. It's a legit complaint. The game did that to me.

Now I'm going to go play Company of Hero's so that I can join the armies highest rank, because clearly I'm going to be a brilliant tacitcal millitary leader after playing it.

I think it's a good job that no natural blue women exist. Otherwise I'd be in prison...

A larger than average portion of them have also been male. Guess we should ban males too.

why are videogames always targets for this kind of s***?Socialist696

[QUOTE="Socialist696"]why are videogames always targets for this kind of s***?gamerguru100

The clear solution is we should no longer be humans.

Start blaming science for not finding a safe way to become transpecies.

Then science definitely needs to find a way to transform us all into deer's before it's too late.

saw this coming from miles away,though mass effect of all series is weird but still. it's not shocking people would point their fingers at videogames

would be nice if people stop blaming video games for violence.

and here I play GTA alot.

Bioware deserves this for ME3.

Kidding, kidding. I wasn't expecting this since the recent shootings weren't blamed on shootings.

Thats what is shocking to me, out of all the games out there - from Grand Theft Auto, Saints Row, etc etc that are far more likely candidates for blame, it has to be ME just because of a FB like? I doubt anyone posting on those hate threads has even ever seen the game, let alone heard of it before hand.Socialist696

I would love to see their reaction when they found out that the one who actually "liked" ME was the killer' s brother. I' m sure they were gonna be like "his brother probably gave him the idea herp derp".

would be nice if people stop blaming video games for violence.

-Vulpix-

I was playing the original GTA games while being well under aged. I have 0 tendencies to rob, kill or run over pedestrians. I had good parents, it's as simple as that.

On the bright side, both Ryan and BioWare should be able to sue Fox for defamation and bag some money.GhoX

Come on, the ending wasn't that bad
