with the playstation 3 and the xbox 360 its goin to be hard to keep heavy gore out of the games, even the grass is fully 3d. It does desensatize us to violence but of course im old enough to know its just a game. The younger kids are the ones i worry about. Look at the media as a whole. 10 years ago you couldnt say "*****" on tv, now there say everything but the f bomb. I have listened to hot 97.1 for years(not the last few years music now sucks, last time i heard somethin good i was is high school). Now on hot 97.1 they can say the n word. Comedy central plays movies uncensored at midnight, i was watchin south park they other day and they played the whole movie in full. Im older so i dont care but what about these kids growing up. There horrible. I have seen 12 year olds doin drug and haveing sex, whats the world coming to.
Hang time i agree parents need to raise these kids. If i pulled a 1/4 of the stuff these kids pulled when i was growing up(in the 90s) i would have got my bellybutton kicked. Yes there is a thing called child abuse but a solid smack in the mouth wont kill him. I seen what these kids do today and its parent abuse. I seen a 14 year old kid smack his mom and call her a *****. I came up and told that little punk if he does it again and hes goin to have a problem, mother turns around and says its OK. Wheres the respect. You got these young girls no older then 17 dressed like a hoe. I dont noe how they let her out the house, skirt is so short a little wind will show u the whole deal. Theres no excuse for things like this.
Gore in the games isnt needed but like at how real they look now. If im plyin a shooter and put a load of bullets on a enemy i expect him to be riped apart. Back in the n64 days u could get around this, u shoot the enemy falls with alot red coloring on him and he disappears. Now it looks so real that u cant cut corners like that. I saw some of the e3 games on tv and there amazing. U dont need gore but u do need realism, games like gran turismo 4 have great graphics but when im goin 100mph and hit a wall the car should be destroyed i should bounce off the wall and keep going.
