A while ago, I was holding a discussion with a few classmates on violence in games and on TV, if it was good or not. With me being an avid gamer, and not having shot up any High Schools or inflicted any real-life damage on any real-life person, I of course think it has no effect on the way one handles his life.
After I mentioned a situation in a game, where you have an entire town to do with as you please, and I murdered all the inhabitants and spelled a word using their bodies, a girl said I was mentally ill. That's why I want to ask of you, the smartest people on the face of this earth, what you think of the picture below. It is in no way as gross as your average goatse experience, so don't be scared to look at it.
I would say there is nothing wrong with this, it's just doing something in a video-game, involving dragging bodies and limbs. I would assume that anyone old enough to know how to play a game can distinct between real-life and virtual situations.
So, fellow citizens of Über-site, I ask of you; Is someone who enjoys doing this sort of thing sick? I think not! Better in a game than in real-life, right?

Wouldn't be really hard within the confines of the mission?
I uninstalled the game a few months ago, but if I remember rightly you had to get to a certain point fast to assassinate the mullah in the distant car, and then run for the exit double time while all hell breaks loose. No time there to sedate UN soldiers.
I never managed all the levels on SA rating though. That one where you approach the snowbound villa across miles of plateau armed with a sniper rifle and crossbow...almost zero chance of an SA there. I couldn't do it, which was incredibly annoying after labouring over the previous levels forever.

" How can you kill the UN soldiers, domenad? Doing so is an auto mission failure (PC version). The only way to get the M4 is by getting 5 SA ratings. "
____________
I myself suck enormously at S A ratings, so what I did is lure one soldier away from view from the rest, and sedate him with chloroform. Only one dosage, because the other soldiers can't see him like that. I then took the M4 and ran screaming through the bunch of soldiers to the exit. That was fun.

Reminds me of when I fled Jonestown, Guyana. Before I left the cult village in the jungle, I spelled the word "Kool-Ade" with all the bodies.

I completed Hitman 2 by killing every living thing on every level. Even went back to earlier levels after getting the SP-12, just for the hell of it.
Then I did it again Silent Assassin style, but it wasn't the same.

Oh yeah, and violence in videogames is therapeutic. The argument is academic for me, because I'm never going to see an assault rifle unless I join the Army anyway.

Whenever I play Gran Turismo for more than 6 hours straight, my real-life driving is very unintentionally reckless.
Does that count?

Shizae, it took me quite a while. First, I had to kill everyone, and drag them to the central square, that was the most tedious part. I then put the bodies in a rough shape, and using a small gun, like the .22, I moved limbs and stuff.
So yeah, I was bored.

I liked the first level of Hitman 2.
I swear I reviewed this before, don't know what happened.

Now I have to buy Hitman 2 to make fun words with dead people.
Doesn't that take a long time to pick up and drop every single body in the right place?

I think it's much better that I take my frustrations out on hookers and bums in GTA than in real life.

This is my view as well. I'm playing Killzone at the moment, so...yeah...

If I'm not mistaken, that's Hitman 2, the Bazaar level, am I right?
You rule. I never would have thought to do that. Did you wax all the UN soldiers as well?

creep_firebombing, in case you ever return here, it's Hitman 2. This is the Gamecube version.

My LIFE is San Andreas right now. It's starting to get scary. I have dreams about riding motorcycles full speed into cabs making ridiculously sharp left turns.

-2 for Disturbed. +4 because you're a funny one. But yeah, video game violence can influence SOME people to do bad things. But you have realise, if a video game can influence these people to do these things, there's so much more other stuff that could influence them to do it as well. There's no way you can censor video games to the non-crazy people, so I say deal with it. Also there's the other arguement that being to exposed to it in videogame is like giving you your feeding of it, and keeps you from experimenting in real life. I have no idea what I'm talking about, video games just rule.
