What's the general opinion of THR members on video games involving shooting?
I'm asking not about how accurate the games are but from the political stance. Do you guys think there should be limitations on access to the games? Should developers be limited in what they can/can't produce?
The reason I ask is because being 21 I've grown up with video games, I played DOOM and Wolfenstein probably when I was 8. I've played various fiction games like I mentioned along with Duke Nukem, also I've played games intended to be semi-realistic like Medal of Honor, SOCOM, and Rainbow Six. I will also add to that list that I am a fan of the infamous Grand Theft Auto series but not really because of the guns in fact they really suck in those games.
Despite all this violent gaming I'm a pretty level headed individual, I don't even have a desire to carry a gun right now because of where I live. However according to Jack Thompson and fellow politicos I should be a raving gun crazy lunatic and also an expert sniper because of all my shooting experience I learned in games.
Whats your take?
