[quote name='barrit']My point was that dismembering, blowing peoples heads off, touching little girls is all cringe-worthy in real life. I don't care what the content is. I have no interest in murdering people, stomping them, or touching little girls in real life. I just don't link the two. These are anime characters, nothing more. Call them toddlers all you want. They look like 5 year olds to you? I ask because even if this content was cut, I'd have no interest in a game where I felt I play as a 5 yr old. I'm kinda just playing devil's advocate, because i already preordered the game. I just think you're overreacting to people who don't agree with you. Good thing you weren't around for the Salem witch hunts, geez.[/QUOTE]
Okay, allow me to try and explain to you why your comparison doesn't work on any level.
Just because you can't and wouldn't do something in real life, does NOT make it a strong candidate for a game mechanic. If child molestation was a feature in GTA, would you take part in it? I sincerely
ing hope not.
There are several layers to robbing a store in GTA. There's strategy, adrenaline and just plain stress relieving fun. People shoot guns to relieve stress. Do people touch little girls to relieve stress? Some probably do. I hope you don't.
While you're driving 150 MPH running into people sending them flying and blowing shit up... you're not doing it to satisfy some need to kill. You're manipulating a world made for you where you have no repercussions. It's not made to target sadists. However, the mini-game in Mugen Souls is completely one-dimensional. It's an attempt to sexually stimulate. It's fan-service. Which is normally fine. What makes it so
ed up? The fact that it's
little girls.
For the record, I've also pre-ordered this game, and as long as the 5-year old can wreck shop, then I'm cool playing as her/him.
[quote name='sayu']You are so beyond stupid and stuck up your own ass it's kind of funny.
Show me a post where you have decried the sexism in Duke Nukem, or the terrorist segment in Modern Warfare. Both of those are on the front page right now. Show me a post where you called for the banning of games that allow you to torture characters, and then I'll shut up.[/QUOTE]
You are hopeless and I pity you.
Duke Nukem's "sexism" is taken on a completely comedic level. It's a joke, and it's been around since he was conceived. It's humor. It's not even edgy anymore. You're seriously as offended by this as pedophilia? Give me a break.
The terrorist segment in Modern Warfare was a serious take and plot point in the story. It was a mature way to address one of our world's most tragic disasters. You are meant to feel deep emotions while experiencing this. It's not put in for sadists to get off on. And for those who want to take the story a little less seriously, you can skip it.
As for torturing people... name me some games that base game mechanics around torture that aren't using it to elicit a deep emotional response.
I'll say it once last time. Fan-service is fine in a video game. It's meant to sexually stimulate. It's one track. One dimension. I dig watching Mileena's tits bounce while I'm fighting in Mortal Kombat. However, when you're using infants to induce this stimulation, that's when you're
ed up.
Finally, In regards to your "banning" remark. I never said this game should be banned. If you go far enough back into this thread, I've even said I'd be okay with the option turn off the "bath segments". So weirdos can get their jollies and I can play my game. So yea, putting words in my mouth so that you can form some desperate argument really doesn't help your case.
