Steam helps alot but I got to say indie or not if it says 'action' or 'shooter' I pass.

haha, fun post cause you left it so open to interpretation as to be meaningless.
This have been a good conversation
We haven't bought a PS4 yet because there are so many shooters and so few RPG or fun non-shooter games so far.
Not that into indie to be honest. They are too low quality usually.
I totally get that. I do indie because I want more varied game play but your right, very few with super high end graphics

on average we kill less than we dont. Other than for dinner.
Besides, how many of us walk around in the world packing heat? i mean really. compared to games its insane.
our true violent nature can be experienced in the Eating Simulator!

What's really crazy is the direct relationship you attribute to killing in a game vrs killing in real life. Ripping a peace of paper is violent and has about as much meaning as shooting a pixel in a game to a normal person.
well I do not believe most people sleep at night dreaming of being able to shot people and then wake up happy that they found a game that allows them to.
So.
1. these games do not represent what we do in life
2. these games do not represent what we want to do in life.
so I guess what you are telling me is that there is a HUGE opportunirty here for developers, which is basically what I am saying. thus you agree with me

I am not sure how that very clever wisdom of yours correlates to gaming. UNless of course you are talking about Farm Simiulator

Not one of these again Sean :P...
I'm sure most would agree there's room for every type of game imaginable. Yet many would probably also agree a certain segment reads far too much into the violence involved in such games. That segment usually doesn't include gamers themselves though. Very few games focus on killing for the sake of killing, unless it happens to be a satire or novelty like GTA... but that's an extreme example.

again.
Most of us do not go around packing heat everyday and yet in games called 'first person shooters' which there are a fuck ton of, you kinda need a gun to play.
Are you saying that there is not much opportunity for non-violent games because people dream about it at night and/or because we have farms? or are you just trying to argue for arguement sake?

Can't take such a question seriously when I receive this (orange) as a reply. I'm the one arguing for arguments sake?

You know there's a Hello Kitty Online mmo....right?
which is completely un-important to the thread on more than one level.
I never said violence toward other humans to begin with. talk about being out in left field.

farming is where we kill the most.
people do not dream at night wishing they could kill. so why would there not be opportunity for games that do no contain killing unless you want to make a dinner simulator.
understand?

I don't understand what it has to do with my post, I said what I meant to say pretty clearly.
For every minute you are angry , you lose 60 seconds of happiness."-Emerson
again...
there are a ton of games where you do many different things and MOST of those games one of the most important things that you do is shoot.
do you disagree with that statement?

I'll agree there is a market for non violent games. I wont agree that there are too many or that there is a problem with having them. SOME may go too far with it but some go too far with sex and just about every other emotion we have.
My thoughts: -
Every generation gets obsessed with the next generation lacking the morals they did.
Now to be clear, morals have sweet fuck all to do with religion. We are a social animal and evolution has required reciprocal behaviour. Anyone who thinks morality is based in religion is frankly a fruit loop.
But that said, the idea that people cannot separate real life from a bit of escapism is absurd. You know what, those nutters who behave like nutters, they do it because they are nutters, not because they have played games, watched a soap or listened to a record backwards. They are nutters, that is the be all and end all.
I want to be very clear here.
I don give a flying flat fuck how violent they are. At my very core human existance I do not have a problem with violence. I do not want that bullshit to get confused with what I am saying here.
I am saying that although violence is part of life the amount of games that have it is far out of scale.
I hope to fuck that clears things up. This is not a debate over bullshit moralism
