This whole thing is silly. First thing is that they shouldn't be playing them games anyway. They complain that kids are getting violent from these games and they ram it in their face for an experiment.
Secondly, it is so stupid that they are targeting the games when it's the individual person. I've played violent/action games all my life and not once have I had the urge to grab a rifle and go on a spree. It should be the responsibility of the parent to keep their kids away from these games, especially because they are 18 certificate. My parents didn't mind me playing them games because I am not a violent person, or weak minded to get deluded by these games.
Also, it's crazy how all these things are happening in America and I don't really hear about it anywhere else. Could it be because weapons are so accessible there that it is kind of the norm? Over in the UK, I can't even think of a time there's been a killing because of video games.
I think they should at least try a gun ban before anything and see how that goes, but maybe it's too late now as a lot more kids minds will have been warped.
It's definitely wrong that they are just instantly blaming games when 99% of the people are perfectly fine. They should realise it's the individual. That's just like them banning drinking because some people die from it or get in accidents. But they don't because they know it's the individual who is affected.
@xJackelx @Jarek_Cyphus yeah true. He maybe meant if you was running around solo and then a FATE started and you're not in a PT. You won't be able to level sync then lol.
I'm glad they're bringing that into this game though, it was a life saver in XI! Especially when you used to be searching for a PT for hoooours because you can't get 1 job you need! lol
@GamerOuTLaWz Yeah mate, I agree with what you said at the end.
It sounds like a it could be a decent idea, but if things don't go well then they could just leave what they're doing and you're stuck with 1/3 of a game.
If it's a case of a game being released sooner because that part of the game is finished, then that's pretty cool.
I can see games that are like that will have problems with multiplayer. Unless multiplayer is added to the first episode so that is always playable, but you can't finish the single player story.
I guess we'll have to see how things turn out. I'll keep an open mind until then lol
I think it's just like anything else, (Drink/Drugs/Music/Games/Movies), everyone is affected in different ways. I've known people who get smashed on drugs and they are perfectly fine and other people who just get paranoid and aggressive. It's all in the mind and how your body works.
I've played games since I can remember. I've played all the gory/bloody games and I've never thought about going on a massacre or being violent. I'm super chilled out! Maybe that's because I blaze weed and maybe can't be arsed to go on a killing spree (Ha) but still, my whole life I've never been psychically aggressive and a lot of my mates haven't either and we all play games a lot!
It's definitely the individual who it affects and it's not right how they are trying to **** everyone over for it.At the same time thought it would be hard to target people individually because that would require a lot of work and the persons consent to go see a psychiatrist, which they probably wouldn't agree to any ways. It definitely needs some thinking over but it's wrong just to single out games for being the cause. Remember when Rap/Hip Hop was apparently the cause of people getting violent? Nothing happened there so I think it'll be OK.. hopefully.. lol
