Earlier today, my mom was telling me how she thought it was wrong of Resistance: Fall of Man to have a gun battle scene at the Manchester Cathedral, mainly not because of religious reasons, but she thinks the violence in video games is wrong. Gosh!!!! All these people like my mom just can't get it through their skull that it is all fake, and becuase it is fake, its fun. I have gun battles in churches and go on cop killing sprees in games because I can't do it in real life, it's just wrong! I feel bad causing harm to people in real life, sooooooo, I play video games to do that stuff becuase you would think, " Man, I wonder what it would be like if aliens invaded the Earth and I would have to use the Manchester Cathedral as a base to fight them off". C'mon! I'm not going to go into the actual church with a gun and say, " It's alright, I did it in Resistance Fall of Man so I must be able to do it in real life." Like I said, I do it in a game becuase it is wrong to do it in real life. Most people say they disagree with the violence because it warps children's minds, but that is why the there is an ESRB. Though, when I was a kid, I had craploads of fun playing games like goldeneye and perfect dark.
Another example f this violence BS is when the mayor of New York issued some staement saying it is horrible that GTA 4 emulate killings of cops and inisinte people in New York. I have two things to say about that, first, no one is getting hurt and its not going to warp someone into actualy do it, all those people are in special places being kept from this stuff. Second, that isn't New York city in GTA 4, its Liberty City that coincidently looks like New York City.
That is just how I feel about these things.
