Violent games are made by disturbed developers.

Quick note, this can be applied the movie industry as well.

A lot of the violent games out sometimes make me scratch my head. I'm talking about games with sensless violence. With games like Postal, Grand Theft Auto in general, and God of War you have to wonder sometimes. How could they come up with these games if they weren't troubled. I mean, going around a city, killing pedestirans, doing crimes, etc. A lot of the games also seem to glorify the murderer and criminal. To even come up with ideas one must be a closet psychopath. That, or maybe they just have some deep issues with anger, or they were bullied as children. Sometimes, I can just picture them coding the game going "gheheheshs yesssss code more death!". Honestly, what goes on through these developers heads when making over the top violent games? It's like, they lack empathy or some such man.

Now let me clear one thing up, this is NOT a discussion on video games causing people to be violent, no not at all. I'm talking about developers coming up with these ideas for games. Sometimes, its just so bizarre. I kind of wonder if they should see someone for all that pent up anger inside of them

Yeah, the must be crazy.unrealtron

There's no way that this is a serious thread.

[QUOTE="unrealtron"]Yeah, the must be crazy.YosemiteSam400

Definetely, they are all crazy.

There's no way that this is a serious thread.

lol Clearly you are just using sarcasm. This thread makes perfect sense.

Yeah... because all developers get to choose exactly what game they work on. They decide everything about their games, after all. Not the designers, or the publishers, or the marketing department. Just the developers. And they're all **** crazy.

Violent games get made because violent games sell. The industry is a business.

Yes it does sell, makes you wonder about humanity and its double standards. Not only that, but the hypocrisy of it all.

There's nothing wrong with violence in games. If GTA didn't allow you to kill pedestrians it'd be stupid. When I shoot someone in a game I expect blood. Developers aren't disturbed purely because they showcase violence strongly.

You sound like one of those do-gooders who do nothing but whine about something they feel is wrong. It's a game, if you don't like violent games, play something else.

That's pathetic. You think because I'm not turned away by pixelised violence, and expect realism when there is violence in games, that I have mental problems of something and have to vent out rage of some kind? Is that what you're implying?

What's wrong with doing these things in a video game?

What I personally find more disturbing is that one may apply to military service at the age of 16 and kill people in reality but he is supposedly not allowed to buy a violent video game that is rated 18+...

[QUOTE="YosemiteSam400"] I hope that you play all the violent games that you can. So that you don't do any of that stuff in reality since you must get out that hatred and inner violent behavior through video games. Its quite healthy actually, that you do it in video games so that it doesn't build up inside over time.

If you have such problem with violence, stop playing games that exhibit it. It's not real, stop whining.

not really, its bothering me that publishers are targeting violent games at spoilt kids is even more disturbing...

Yep, there is a root. It's the evolutionary theory of survival of the fittest. Go back to the dawn of time and what will you probably find? One of our ancestors clubbing another to death over food, shelter or a mate. Games simply reflect that reality - if it's a comment on the sanity of developers, it's also a comment on every person that consumes games or any other form of violent media.

Or could it be that we are disturbed for wanting to play them, thus creating the demand?JustPlainLucas

I've seen some of your posts on this site about games, and it's clearly obvious you play violent video games. Do you have some kind of rage you need to let out with video games like the rest of us problomatic people? You seem pretty delusional with your opinions.

No offense, but this is kind of a redneck preacher argument. I suggest you read something about catharsis, primal impulses and stress venting. A human male's primal instinct is to discharge his strength and show superiority over other males, and since we live in a society which tries to repress this primordial trait, we have come up with alterantive ways to do this, such as violent videogames. Beating up pedestrians in GTA is a cathartic activity for some: it makes them feel empowered and dominant though the release of endorphines in their brains. We are animals after all. As for 'sick': the treshold of 'sick' varies greatly from individual to individual: I can walk past a chainsawed corpse in Gears of War and think nothing of it, but to my neighbor that scene is from hell.Black_Knight_00

Pfft.. answer this then. Why do YOU play violent games?
