@TitanPolaris @Falru Everybody has access to guns now. The only difference would be that it would be considerably more difficult to obtain one. And considerably more expensive too.

And people wonder why this industry isn't respected in same way as other creative media.

Games, films, books, TV, violent sports, etc, have nothing to do with influencing violence in reality. Violent crimes existed long before these media.

The issues are social, which then lead onto psychological problems. That is what needs tackling.

But these issues exist everywhere. What is different is that America loves it's guns, and as any student of psychology will know, guns not only empower individuals, but it also detaches them from the effects of their actions. The bullet killed the victim, not the hands of the killer.

Quite simply, these mass killings wouldn't happen if these individuals had no access to guns. You deny them of both empowerment and detachment. And that makes a huge difference. And if banning all guns saves just one life, it has been worth it.

Couldn't care less about whether or not one has overtaken the other. They have both been an amazing success. I just hope this trend continues into the next generation of consoles.

Sequels don't kill creativity. In some cases a developer is able to build on a new IP and turn it into a fantastic series, e.g. Metal Gear. But of course there are some devs that just rehash the same rubbish. Sequels aren't to blame; poor devs and the profit focus of this industry are. Creativity and business don't always mix.

This game is going to have to be something special to appeal to mature Wii U gamers after the treat that was Zombi U. I absolutely love that game.

@emptycow Oh come on now, cow. You are actually using a multiplatform game to have a dig at Wii U now?

By all means criticize that which is an issue. Don't insult it just for the sake of it.

You see that chart? That sums up today's gamers. There really is no hope.
