QUOTE (warita200 @ Oct 15 2006, 12:47 PM)It is not that I want to abolish PC games, so dont misunderstand me. Just a little moderation wouldnt do any harm. I myself love logical games and adventure games. Anything that has to do with puzzles and keeps my brain occupied. I am not a friend of "find-and-kill" games (even though I do have one at home, a reaaaally old one from 1994).
I have a question, do you play bloody games Bold? I never thougth you said games should be abolished.
For the record, my favorite kind of games are adventure/puzzle kind. I am a big fan of Myst (someone was able to get me riven for my birthday
I was never able to buy a real version of that games in the past
)
I also like startegy games like Starcraft and Rome Total war. Shooters are at the botom of my list. I agree that "run around shooting people" is a bit boresome. (For some reason, there is a single shooter I enjoy: battlefield2, But it's because the team play and tactical aspect of that games makes it great when you find a server with mature people, not 12 years old!)
QUOTE But you never know who those "some ppl" are, right? You sell the game to everybody and then wait what kind of effect it will have on them?What I meant is that acting on the basis that some people are imbecile is not for the good of all. For instance, there are some movements (mainly in the US) that believe alcohool should be banned because some people drink like there was no tomorrow and make stupid actions after that. I find that reasonning narrow minded because for each of those imbecile that don't know how to drink, there are a dozen other people who know how to enjoy a beer or a glass of wine here and there.
Limiting a full aspect does not lead to a better sociaty. Because it is far more dangerous when a person eventually becomes in contact with something new (and potentially dangerous) than when someone comes in contact with something they know can be dangerous.
If we take video games, parents should be wise enough to make their children understand the difference between a game and reality. Of course there are parents that are not. But if we make rules to accomodate those irresponsible parents, we are sending a message to the responsible parents that they don't need to be responsible.
If we start trying to cover every "in case" there is, we will be living in a sterile cocoon for all our life just to make sure there is no posiblity that something bad can happen to us.
