Topic: Why overly gruesome, sexual, or profane aspects of games aren't needed.

I want back the brain cells I have lost from reading this thread.
_{Pointless subjective ranting. Let people enjoy what they like.}

@the_shpydar: I don't think you read the whole thread so you still have some brain cells.

My head hurt after only the first page. You don't need to read the whole thread.

This.

Seriously, if you don't like sex and blood and swearing, play something else. No company is going to remove something from the game that adds to the art style/story/other legitimate reasons for its inclusion, because a few people don't like it.

Suck it up and move on.

Is anyone saying these things must be in games?

These things don't need to be in Movies, Comics, Books, etc. Then why do all these have this material? It sells. If you want less games with this stuff in them then don't buy games with this material. If you like some of this material then do others have the right to say you shouldn't be allowed to have it?

Amen to this

ITT: "games should stick to my sense of morality and I'm going to whine because it doesn't"

Guess what, there's something that each of you don't mind, that someone else deems morally unacceptable. Doesn't mean you shouldn't be allowed to enjoy it. Hypocrites.

Where are we asking for swearing (or sex or violence) to be legally banned in games? Please feel free to show me.

Probably the same magical place where I said people are saying that? Are you familiar with irony? lol

You also say we as if I read a post of yours somewhere lol

I'm referring to the posts saying 'these things aren't needed' on the first page. If you need help finding those you're on your own

Since game designers have the freedom to make any game gruesome, sexual, or profane as they want, they have the choice to either make those things necessary or unnecessary. I'm totally fine with either, but for me, I see issues arise in things like ratings & content, plus the access a person has to those games. In my experience, parents seem to let their children play almost any kind of game they want, which can be a problem if the parent can't educate them properly in whats right and wrong (et cetera, et cetera). But the blame doesn't also fall on the consumer, as it also falls under a nations rating system. Sexual things in video games can raise the rating quickly from T to M17+ simply because of how the US views these kind of things.

All this ranting aside, video game developers have the power to make their game anyway they want, but they ultimately want people to play them too. If they put in necessary things to enhance the game, fine. It'll just probably get more people to play it. If they put unnecessary stuff, it could hinder the game in some ways, but to me it's about the amount of stuff that's put into video games.

1. Necessary + decent amount = Just fine.
2. Necessary + too much = Probably might be annoying, start feeling unnecessary, and hinders game play experience.
3. Unnecessary + decent amount = Okay.
4. Unnecessary + too much = Either the game could severely ruin the experience, or surprisingly, greatly enhance it.

I guess this is what I got so far. I'd keep writing, but I'm so damn tired. It's 1 AM for f**ks sake.

-_- Goodnight.
