regarding GOW3 sales and the violence in the game?????

ok a little violenece is good, much violence is not..........at least not for everybody.......i am a 20 yr old and i am ok with it but if my perants saw me rippingoff heads like what we saw inthe demo, God knows what could happen to my PS3??? thepoint is the extreme violence in the game could be a selling factor and a quiting factor, and i think for most ppl, it will bethe latter, i am expecting huge sales for the gamemay be around 3 million (out of 25 PS3 or more owners when the game is released)but i am sure the gamedeserves more but due to the content many ppl may pass.

personally i am worried about the game being banned in australia.

Well GoW series were always meant for mature gamers (I am 33 years old by the way). I see 10-11 year old children playing Call of Duty and my opinion is that it is more dangerous to let a child play wargames than a fantasy hack 'n slash. Because in war games you have guns, which you can probablypurchase in real lifewithsome cash in your pocket. But this doesn't mean they should play GoW instead. The gameshops and parents are the most responsible parties here. If you let them play GoW, it is possible to see your child comehome with a white skin and red tattoo one day.

So wait...you're 20 and if your parents saw that game they'd take your PS3 away?

yea, I think at 20 you should be mature enough to to handle games like that, if your parents don't understand that, then they need a little maturing themselves.

I can understand that, but with a game, that seems a little strict.

i am living wz my perants, that's how things work here in the ME, that's why i should be careful wz the games i pick up........ any thoughts abt the sales wztaking violenece in our consideration?

ok a little violenece is good, much violence is not..........at least not for everybody.......i am a 20 yr old and i am ok with it but if my perants saw me rippingoff heads like what we saw inthe demo, God knows what could happen to my PS3??? thepoint is the extreme violence in the game could be a selling factor and a quiting factor, and i think for most ppl, it will bethe latter, i am expecting huge sales for the gamemay be around 3 million (out of 25 PS3 or more owners when the game is released)but i am sure the gamedeserves more but due to the content many ppl may pass.

are you serious man? GOW should be as GORY as possible. If the violence is too much for you don't buy it. You go on to mention you are 20...but then you say if your parents saw you ripping heads off...god knows what would happen to your ps3? Lol...seriously, you are 20 and your parents are going to get on you for ripping the head off of an animated cartoon?

You think the sales will hurt because of the excessive gore? What are you talking about? I will tell you straight up that the game would have more trouble selling if they cut DOWN on the violence.

I'm curious why people complain about violence and such. That's what this game is. If you don't want violence, buy a different game. I imagine if the developer had wanted to make a different game to appeal the peace loving crowd, they would have.

meh my mum didn't care about me chainsawing locust because its just a game. for entertainment.shadowkiller11

I think some parents are just super control freaks. I mean, my parents use to fast forward through sex scenes in movies when I was like...12 years old?

Now I have porn laying around my room and its no big deal...There is conservative (which I and my family would be)and then there is "church" conservative lol.

I started playing GoW when I was at 6th grade , and my parents said nothing

GoW has always been violent, there's nothing wrong with it, that's why it has a M rating! Jeez from what i've seen it's nothing excessive, in GoW 2 there's scenes where you bash people's head in doors, just because the next-gen adds more graphical detail doesn't make the principal any worse. Personally people are just too uptight and we haven't even seen the game yet to be judging the violence in it.

He did say they were conservative and religious, My mother is too but not extremely strict, but she somewhat cares what I play. She wouldn't take away my console she'd just comment on what I play and then leave. My PS3 is in the basment anyways and there's nothing there for her to go down for so it doesn't matter what I play.

If your parents are that religious, I'm sure they wouldn't be happy about you playing a game where you're running around as the God of War...period. Seeing as how polytheism is heracy.
