jerreece, then my comment is this, it is the parents responsibility to regulate what their children are exposed to. I agree with the legislature that limited regulation in expression is a good thing. The game companies should be able to make what they want and what sells. Parents should be the ones who control what their kids see and do, not the government. Yes, this society flaunts sexuality, it's our responsibility to make sure that our kids are educated and understand the consequences of their actions.
 
[citation][nom]jerreece[/nom]Personally, I see graphical violence as less of an issue when compared with sexuality. I don't personally think graphically violent games necessarily make children want to murder people. However, sexually explicit games do make children want to have sex. And children should NOT have sex.[/citation]

That logic is so ridiculously flawed...I don't even know what to say.

DING-DING we have a winner! I agree 100000%.

Not really, you have a will to have sex naturally whereas you don't naturally have the will to kill people. Therefore we don't associate videogame violence with actually KILLING people, it's a game. Sex is different.

If you were using logic you would have seen the difference.

I wasn't talking about natural tendencies. Actually, it's quite natural for us to have sex when we're in the teens - that's the way cavemen did it. I was remarking on how you said that violence in video games didn't make kids more violent, but sex made them more inclined to do sexual acts. Killing people isn't the matter - the violence is. If, by the logic that kids are unaffected by video game violence (which they aren't) you can't say by some power they're affected by video game sex (which they aren't). That simply doesn't add up.
The kids, in the end, have control over their actions, and should be taught well from right and wrong, as well as develop their own sense of right and wrong...unfortunately, a combination of the two is sometimes lower than the "accepted" line...which has been happening a long time before video games ever even existed.
 
The first (which they aren't) should be (which they are). Read it over...it gives the wrong meaning. Argument is that kids are unaffected by the games altogether, which I'm sure you got anyway. Just to be clear.
 
[citation][nom]jerreece[/nom]I'm not so much into the blatant nudity in that video myself. As a parent, I'm kind of scared of the future. As games get more and more graphic, we'll start seeing more and more nudity, and 10 year olds will be playing it. Otherwise, the game looks great.[/citation]

Uh... Duke Nukem was always geared for adults due to violence, cursing and sexuality. As a PARENT - Don't let your 10year old KIDS play it! Besides, kids don't need games or movies to start playing sex (whatever) at age 10~12 - it happens and nothing you can really do about it.

So with your logic... its BETTER to have a man break a womans face with his fist than to look at her naked body or to touch her breasts?! No wonder the USA is screwed up, geez!
 
There has been a crazy amount of press and rumor buzzing on the net about DNF. It has me wondering if its all a publicity stunt to promote the game before a sudden release.
 
japnoise99 I was thinking the same thing, then again if you were going to pretend to make a game just to get funding for as long as possible, a couple scenes and a tech demo are all you need too...

Second that, its like porno's - its not as if there made for kids etc
 
Why is every one so shocked that the Catholic has no problem with violence but a big problem with sex? Catholics ingrain violence into their techings; don't do what you're told and you'll go to hell where you'll be ripped apart, boiled, burned, and then put back together so it can happen again.

Seems pretty natural to me, for a Catholic.
 
It is now apparent that the biggest obstacle to finishing the game was 3D Realms themselves. This property is much too hot to let go. I predict it will quickly become available now that 3DR is gone.
