Ryuken Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 that last guy said something that is very true. it's the parent's job to not let their kids play games not suited for them or walk them through it when they're playing. i bet u that guy is the only gamer on thereHe's probably just into porn. Good man. who's not into porn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody56 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Holy sh*t!! I hate these people. This has to be my favorite type of argument. The parents don't want there kids to see this stuff, but they say it's "too much work" to monitor it. I could go on for days with these people and I think I'd win.

Exp44 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 University of Maryland study says "boys who play video games dont know the difference between them and the real world unless theyve had experience" - WTF? That has to be the WORST conclusion I have EVER HEARD. That is totally wrong. If I'm playing UT, I don't just think I can just walk out on the street with a flocking rocket launcher blowing the **** outta people and expect them to respawn! I know theres a fricking difference! My gratitude goes to the Spike TV guy who at least knew what he was talking about. And way to go Fox for kicking that guy off the line when he started proving them wrong. That's just horrible.

TapeWurm Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 First off, glad to be back after a very long time away.Now, let it be said that Fox News is a notoriously liberal news show. Once you find out that's who's doing the story, you pretty much know which way it's going to go.Anyway, something I wish that the spike tv guy would have had ready to unload is this:“The average game player is 30 years old and has been playing games for 9.5 years” “The average game buyer is 37 years old. In 2005, 95 percent ofcomputer game buyers and 84 percent of console game buyers were overthe age of 18.” “ Eighty-seven percent of game players under the age of 18 report thatthey get their parents’ permission when renting or buying games, and92 percent say their parents are present when they buy games.” This is based off of an older survey, but current numbers are similar. The liberal psych lady says that this game is targeted to a younger audience. I think we as gamers all know better. hell, look at the stats above.My final thought is when the one guy says 'Mass Effect won't come into my home.' I say good. It makes it easier for us genuine gamers to find our copies when we want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.S.D Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 hell, i just complete the so-called nudity section. 1st, the scene is quite cheesy. Kissing then the bed scene with some ass view and not so obvious boobies view. Big flocking deal. i can see more on TV. The way they do it, it is just like any other movie out there that feature some nudity. And they are afraid to corrupt some innocent mind? Big deal, our innocent minds are already corrupted long time ago. Try this game out. Despite some hiccups and not-so-great battle gameplay, the story alone is superb. Worth the epic and i can't wait for the 2nd of the trilogy. On my 2nd playthrough using a girl now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
