Why would anybody want to feel what it is like to be shot or stabbed?Sir-Marwin105

Probably because it immerses you more into the game.BumFluff122

Getting shot or stabbed isn't like getting punched in the arm. It kinda hurts you know?

Pretty much.

And I must say, excellent choice of an avatar pic. That game seriously had one of the greatest stories I've heard in a long while, and astounding gameplay, as well. I played through it twice in the same night, just because I wanted to see the sick intentions of Aperture Science unfold again.

I can see it now. You walk into class with broken ribs "what happend to you?" "Plasma grenade"blitzinger123

Yeah, but this is not real, so nobody is gonna die.

Dumbest idea ever. Save your money and just start a fight club or get in a shootout with gang members. briguyb13

You call this the dumbest idea ever and then you go and suggest to get into a gang shootout?

Probably because it immerses you more into the game.BumFluff122

Yes, feeling the actual shot or stab would immerse you more into the game...negatively. Who the hell would want to feel actual pain other than those crazy masochist gamers out there who number very few? :?

Sounds like a lazy person's idea of getting hurt.

lol

The idea sucks.

One of the joys of videogames is that you are able to play as a character that can take infinite amounts of damage in a virtual world. Even repeated cycles of dying and resurrection without you, the person playing the videogame, recieving any harm.

Now why would you want to transfer all that damage taken onin a virtual world into someone in the real world???

As much as I enjoy violence in the media, I just hear about this and think: What kind of maniac though it would be a good idea to inflict pain on someone by taking damage from a character in a videogame?

I've got an even better idea...

I'll be open for hire, and if you're interested, I'll come to your house and punch you in the face while you play Tekken. It'll be so realistic, 4d will seem last gen.

What, first you were against it now you are for it?

So, it's the dumbest idea because it wouldn't be painful? I guess it's dumb playing games at all, because I don't feel any pain when a my virtual character gets stomped on by a dragon, falls into a spike pit, or gets blasted into outer space.

IMO this is a pretty cool idea for certain types of games, it depends on the person, i wouldn't think it will be painful, that would be a stupid idea. For certain games like flight simulator, it will add some realism into the game, feeling the g-forces and things like that.
