Many of you may have heard that the U.S. may never have violence in video games ever again.This really pisses me off.One the video game industry would be hurt greatly.Two games would suck bigger nuts than my bro does.And three many of you geeks out there would see no reason in living on this planet anymore.What do you think boys and girls?

It really does make me feel happy when I play games with alot of gore (Diablo 2, FEAR)
One reason I dont like BF2: NO BLOOD
I don't play video games for violence. Neither for blood. I play them because I find them fun and exiting. Much of this is achieved with violence and cool action sequences. But if a game can entertain me without violence it ok for me too.
i agree w/ both of u but it would make games almost pointless if they had no violence

well with bush pres anything could happen soooooo........
I wonder if that would generate a underground gaming movment, a bit like prohibition
no actually i havent heard that they will ban violence in video games, where the hell did you hear this from? let me guess the little green guy in your mind right.
and no not everything is possible with the press, the press lies, and how would the press make anything possible??
Well, I myself would be pretty dissapointed if that did happen.(it won't)
A vast majority of all video games now have something to do with violence, and if they took away violence from video games..well..it would completely ruin the gaming industry.
my source is a gaming channel called g4 and it had a special on this topic.they said that chances are that violence will be take out of video games in the near future
my resource is an entirly gaming channel called g4.they were running a special about this topic and it sed in the very near future that violence may be taken out of video games
I'm still waiting for coherent evidence to emerge from one of these escapades. Violent crime is down significantly, and still dropping, while there are more violent videogames than ever. Those making the claims usually focus on the most visable target without doing much research. I cite as an example the televised Senate hearings of the 90's. I watched at home as the Senators raved and railed against these games, and played fatality scenes from the original Mortal Kombat. Strangely, that game had been out for at least three years, and wasn't really the most popular one at the time. They just jumped on it because whenever someone said violent videogame they heard Mortal Kombat.
All that is ever offered is emotional testimony and opinions. Where are the facts? Don't give me Columbine. An emotionally disturbed person on their way to violence will find whatever excuse they need, be it videogames, pen and paper rpgs, heavy metal, rock music, the beatles, or communism.
ok we get the damn point now stop posting the same message over and over again, youve already posted enough spam crap already. and not everything you hear is true.
oh yea sorry to tell you but bush cant just say i dont want violence in video games and it will happen, it has to go through the senate first, and like everyone else said it wont happen, and if bush said something about violence in video games it would be all over every news channel by now, so that shows its bullshit.
EDIT: this is where you belong <-- click
yea right i no it has to pass through the senate and it has been all over the news so sorry to inform you "know-it-all" but it aint bullshit
the more you post the more ignorant you sound.......
im surprised kiamde hasnt killed you yet
98% of the teenage population does or has tried smoking pot. If you''re one of the 2% who hasn''t, copy & paste this in your signature.
Sick him Kiamde! GO GO GO!
I already flamed this guy enough and he won't leave. Maybe you can do it.
Because blood=fun right?
I don't see what people's fascination with blood in games is. Sure, it makes the game more realistic but in the end it's pretty useless. Most of the time I never even notice the blood in games. I'm more focused on what i'm doing in the game.
The law considers other things besides gore as violent characteristics in games. Many of these things fall in the category of "immoral actions." These things include torture and depraved violence (killing without sympathy towards your victims). One of the main arguments that supports the ban of violent games to kids is that these games teach kids the methods of criminals.
Banning a game simply because there is blood or alot gore would be rediculous. Gore has hardly anything to do with turning kids into killers. It may give people headaches but the government couldn't care less. If they ban games just because there is blood, then they might as well ban biology classes in schools.
Dang, you really got something against your brother don't you? That poor guy.
lol I'm just stating something that has been overlooked in this thread. I got nothing against my bro. He plays Resident Evil 4 and I don't mind.
Are they banning violence in all games or are they just putting an age limit for violent games?
I think it would suck if the government banned violence in all games preventing anyone from playing or making violent games. It would be limiting the potential quality of games for weakly supported reasons. In articles about violent games I've read, the writers talk about what games can do but were always missing a measurement of any kind to the extent of the effects games have on people.
If they were just putting an age limit, then I guess it's a reasonable move for now. Still, I would like the people against violence in games to be more solid in their arguments.
I just found this page: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6135332.html
It looks like they're just going to step up the enforcing of the age-limit law.
I wonder if this is a move to crush gaming industries in the long run. Alot of gamers today are kids under 18. I don't know how much, but gaming indutries could lose alot of customers if everyone under 18 is wiped off the consumer list.
If this is indeed the government's motive, what will be in stored for kids if the gaming industry does decline? Hover cars? It BETTER be hover cars! lol
