When will there be an open-world/ sandbox game that allows you to kill children?

[QUOTE="crippled_ram"] Uh, yeah. I can live with that- it's my friends, and all of us are engaging in the same game willingly. An NPC child character being killed in a game though, now that's just distrubing. Look at it this way- I've played NSMB Wii loads, often with with my younger brother qualifies as a kid. I keep throwing him into pits, thus 'killing' him. I have no qualms with that, because we're both willingly agreeing to play by the rules of the game. Does that make it clearer?crippled_ram

So NPCs have feelings now and are consenting adults?

you telling me you never once ran over an innocent civilian in a GTA game mr high and mighty?

So you drove responsible and never sped and always pulled over for the police?

or maybe you were doing some wreckless driving and side swiped a few cars, maybe ran a few people over, and damaged some city property?

For a good long time.

Until the whole thing people have with making children really, really, really annoying, giving you the urge to do nothing but launch a nuke at them and watch them burn while they lulz at you with their unnatural invincibility gets old, anyway.

You want to kill children? Seriously?

[QUOTE="crippled_ram"]Why would you want to kill children? :?markinthedark

why wouldnt you?

I don't enjoy killing innocent beings that present no threat to me. That includes children, friends, civillians, animals, etc. What I enjoy about a game is not the killing per se, it's the challenge. What's the point of killing a child? An animal? A civillian? Where's the challenge? If there's no challenge it's not fun.

Well, I did play a bit of Carmageddon back in the day :), and it was fun for about 10 minutes, after that it got boring.

Why would you want to kill children in a game? How could improve the inmersion on a game being able to kill a child with a shotgun?

What's next, when will there be a game that allows you to enter a hospital and kill recent born babies???

Can you imagine the public backlash? There would be no way the game would be successful with such strong public outcry.

this guy said it the best.

it's illegal in most places, and looked down upon as extremely immoral everywhere else.

plus, it's a needless addition so why bother?

I'm willing to bet thats already in Postal 2.

Can't believe that some of you guys think that killing a fake innocent adult is any different than killing a fake innocent child, they are both fake. SAGE_OF_FIRE

I think some people in this thread have maybe lost some virtual loved ones in their previous virtual lives.

[QUOTE="SparkyProtocol"][QUOTE="IronBass"] Relevance? How would killing children make a game more relevant? And authenticity is a weak argument. Adding over-disturbing elements to games just for authenticity's sake makes little sense. There are lots of better ways of improving games than killing children.Sp4rtan_3

you do realize the people in the video game arent real?

I love killing the children with that fallout 3 mod hahah it was hilarious.

that asian guy a few months back who married his virtual girlfriend would like to have a word with you.

[QUOTE="nervmeister"][QUOTE="Sp4rtan_3"]Because shooting an adult is funner then blasting a kid with a shotgun.Sp4rtan_3

[QUOTE="Sp4rtan_3"][QUOTE="SparkyProtocol"] It's just a game. One of the biggest features of sandbox games is killing people anyways. Rockstar games anyways.markinthedark

hopefully thats next.

extra points if you kill the babies while the parents are looking through the glass, helplessly. you can then proceed to kill them too. and that nurse who just started screaming and running away.

I'm with TC completely, I WANT TO KILL CHILDREN. You listening developers!? I do it often in real life, but I need something to do in the rest of my time. A baby-eating simulator would be nice as well. [spoiler] jk, a baby eating simulator would be pointless since you don't get any of the great taste. [/spoiler] angelkimne

Kids SHOULD be off limits. Jesus, you'd think some gamers actually WANTED to be treated like psychopaths.

[QUOTE="Sp4rtan_3"] There is big difference between killing adults and SHOOTING children. No developer in this age would add such a ridiculous and unnecessary feature.Sp4rtan_3

you do realize the people in the video game arent real?

why is it acceptable to kill adults in video games?

Why would you want to kill children in the first place? Doom_HellKnight

I will ask a question then why kill kids, i want to kill midgets!

[QUOTE="Doom_HellKnight"]Why would you want to kill children in the first place? markinthedark

same reason i want to kill adults in video games?

Cos children are annoying, nothing more satisfying killing something that bugs you. Why would you want to kill animals in the first place? Who here avoids killing animals in games? (I do, I use stealth mode in oblivion or calm on the bears cos killing bears is wrong) Also, if any one here killed bears in Red Dead Redemption then shame on you!hd5870corei7

why don't we also have a game that allows you to rape women and suck a guy off?

realism right?

You get an achievement for killing babies in Dante's Inferno. I found it most therapeutic to impale the babies on my scythe.

[QUOTE="Sp4rtan_3"][QUOTE="nervmeister"] Eh. Depends.hd5870corei7

more like midgets with claws.

People have emotions, you can't say it's only pixels, polygons, whatever, people react to what they see. Have you never felt sorry for someone that died in a movie? Never got scared? Maybe even afraid? Why? It's only a movie, everything is fake just like in a video game. It's because we have emotions that we enjoy video games, movies, etc. So you can't just dismiss that's there's no difference in killing a virtual animal, adult or child. There is a difference.

I thought about this one time. all adults, but no children, you think of it once, but you USUALLY keep that to yourself, because you figure that's not even remotely necessary in a game:?
