is that more often than not the violence in these games has a context. As in, the situation the character inds him/herself in requires violence in order to survive.

Oh, I'm sure Half-Life 2's Combine would have responded real well to pacifism. Responded, as in, you're useless to us- BOOM.

And I'm certain the zombies in Doom3 would have responded well to flowers and chocolates.

Then there's Ultima's death scream in Final Fantasy 12. Jesus! That one gave me chills. Same goes for Zalera, the Death Seraph... oohhh, hey shouldn't have called it that, it'll get kids thinking about death....

LOTS of gratuitous violence in that last one. I mean, three people running around hacking the shit out of wolves and bats? That's barbaric!!!

:eyes:

I hereby submit that the antigamer/antigame faction is made up of complete and total idiots who (usually) haven't touched a game in YEARS. That includes Certain Parties on this very thread. They think they're all soooooo filled with violence, they won't even give one a good look.

Hey, idiot assholes, just an FYI- here are a few games that DON'T have bloody violence:

Katamari Damacy
WeLove Katamari
Burnout 3: Takedown (well, okay, but I don't think crashing cars around counts as violence)
Ace Combat 4
Ace Combat 5 (these two are jet dogfighting games; zero blood and guts, just jets)
Gitaroo Man
Guitar Hero I & II
Kingdom Hearts I & II

Of course, I'm dead fucking certain all of these titles are complete unknowns to the idiot asshole antigamers- may they choke on their smug self-superiority.

People who don't know what the fuck they're talking about REALLY ought to shut. the. fuck. up.
