Metal Gear Solid 4

[Snake's On A Plane]

i do understand?

the parents are teaching their children right.

u do kno that NOT ALL parents teach their kids the SAME WAY.

so preventing them from playing violent games IS A WAY TO PREVENT CHILDREN FROM BEING VIOLENT.

ive been playing mature games even under the age of 18 and it hasnt did anything to me. but parents all discipline their kids the same way.

eg. some parents spank their kids to discipline, some parents ground them from doing things for a period of time, etc.

So you're honestly saying that playing a game like Metal Gear Solid will make kids go shoot each other? Or if kids play Super Smash they're gonna go kick each other in the face? Come on man you know thats not true. If it was kids would all be walking around with RPG's and claymores lol


So have any of you heard about the Metal Gear Solid movie in production? I guess Kojima is writing, producing and co directing the entire thing. I hope they can make it a high budget block buster, cus I cant handle these stupid video game movies anymore

While I also think overshielding kids is in the long run a harmful way to bring up a kid and in my opinion pretty lackluster parenting, I do sort of see the dude's point in that it's their way. You can't really change that.

That said it's like this conversation I had with a friend of mine about the stabbings in Akihabara and how some in the Japanese media will inevitably label it on video games because it was his hobby. If someone was crazy enough to do something as extreme as going on a rampage like that to begin with, would his hobby have made too much of a difference? Sure you can rationalize that it does have some effect...which it does, but if one thing like video games could drive a person THAT crazy by themselves by that same logic John Lennon's music was pure evil because it inspired an already insane man to murder him. It's only one of hundreds of possible things that could influence how a person becomes.

As for the movie, seems like there's a game movie rumor every day so I'll only believe it when I see it in official.

im not saying it could be that extreme. it can vary right, to small stuff to extreme stuff like the guy above me mentioned about the stabbings.

im 100% sure if i was a little kid and i played mgs4

i would want to cqc my friends, and who knos, i might make him hit his head on the cement? thats not good is it.

or if i got provoked, if i played mgs4 and other fighting games, it would influence me to fight right? compared to whereas if i played finding nemo games or w/e when im a little boy, i wouldnt have the influence to fight.

not all parents are great parents, and its been proven that putting ratings and restrictions on ages for certain games do help the society in general to be less violent, why else would our society be ruled that way?

Mmmm...if I was a kid and I played MGS4, I'd know that hurting my friends using some ghetto wannabe CQC would be obviously a bad thing.

And if you're provoked into a fight, it's not really what you do as a hobby that'll provoke you so much as it is the fact a person is actually trying to fight you in real life I'd imagine...

It is true that games can influence the naive...or delusional, just like pretty much most stimulations in life, and if a parent wants to flat out shield their kid from a game labeled for 18 and above it's not -inherantly- a bad thing perhaps yeah....though to be honest guy if a kid is going around trying to hit his friends' heads into the cement because he saw it in a video game that kid's just got some pretty serious issues to begin with. By that logic, that kid shouldn't read, watch tv, cruise the net, or do anything really if they haven't learned either from themselves or from their parents to differentiate fantasy from reality like that.
