notice that i never said games would make people grab guns!

and still, i think there is a huge difference between games an movies/novels..
its a matter of active and pasive! when reading a novel or watchin a film, you think
about what is presented to you..you can reflect on it..
but when you play Vietnam, you ACTIVELY take the role of a soldier that kills people,
you replay one of the darkest chapters in US history..

think about it,.. everyone says the content of the game doesnt matter, if its war in vietnam, middle east or else where..
its all about the fun and "eye-hand coordination"..
ok then why dont program a game in which it is your task to fly a plane into some well known towers -Oooops!!!
"naah- i dont wanna recreate the death of some friends and family members of mine" - would many people probably think - and thats my point:
there is NO difference between such a game and the other war-based ones...recreating history in an
active way - virtually taking the gun and killin the enemy--
you compare this to a movie? i aint think so guys...

i dont wanna hate on people that play such games, but in my opinion a humans sense of ethic
sould prevent someone from havin fun playin them... you should think:
"danm, what i do here actually happend, and war is happening right at this moment.."
war is not fun and games..
think about it, would you still play these games if your father had been killed in iraq?


oh and as far as most people gettin historic knowledge only from movies goes, i think that is the case...



P.S.: huuh... that is hard explain since english in not my native language..

I can just see this guy saying I shouldn't listen to Alice in Chains or Nirvana because I'll become a junky.

Re: shooters..

if your worry is kids/younger people playing these games, then it's the responsibility of the parents to monitor what their children are playing or watching. Movies are rated R for a reason, if you're under 17 you shouldn't be able to watch without the parental ok. Same with games, they have different ratings, and I think most of the war themed games you're talking about are rated M for mature, so again, parents shouldn't let younger kids play them if they don't think it's appropriate.

Let adults form their own opinion, you may not enjoy playing these games, but others do.

What's the difference between a PC game based off a real war and a movie? I guess one gets paid and the other doesn't. Look all games are is "Virtual Reality."

Re: shooters..

Your basically saying it's ok to show movies that are based off wars. And your saying in another post that people who play Shooters are bad people? Yeah ok it's alright for people in movies to act like this stuff actually happend to them. But Gamers can't act like they were there during D-Day in Medal of Honor?

You must be one of them people who actually beleieve them ******* criminals who say they get their "ideas" from Video Games.
