Do you like violent video games?

[nintendofan85]

Eh, they can be enjoyable sometimes, but I just play them for fun, you know? Violence has never been a factor that attracted me to a video game.

I do but I don't tend to play them for their violence (the exception being killing floor 1 & 2). I do play first person games the majority of the time (not as of late tho) but they can be walking simulators which are generally not violent.

Now that I think about it I can't say I do enjoy them because most games I play would still be good without any violence... hmmmm it's kinda of a thinker this one...

 

[mitfy]

eh, i guess it depends on what you mean by violent. i don't typically play violent games, but i don't mind them, depending on what they are. i've played until dawn and i like that one. i haven't really played any shooting games tho.

Of course ivevpkayed plenty. Fallout...gta...you know the usual.

I've been a fan of violent video games since I first began playing video games. The original Mortal Kombat was one of the first games I ever played because my brother had it for the Sega Genesis and I thought it was cool and wanted to try playing it too. Mortal Kombat led me to Street Fighter II, Streets of Rage, and various other things over the years.

As has been stated earlier in the thread, violent video games are a good way to let off some steam if need be, although even if you don't feel the need to beat something up in a video game to relieve stress, they're fun on their own merits. I mean, while it's rather cartoonish, Super Smash Bros. is very popular but it's still technically violent. Pokemon is technically violent, you're ordering creatures to fight. I enjoy tactical games, including Fire Emblem, my favorite series, and those generally are set in wartime, involve fighting, and characters end up dead.

For my own part, I tend to prefer fighting games or games involving melee weapons rather than guns (save for Grand Theft Auto, which is fun, though part of that is the vehicles and whatnot). I've never been into competitive shooter games and only ever really played any of them to have something to do with friends in the past.

Gore isn't really a selling point for me. I think just getting into more violent games at an early age made them more palatable to me throughout my life.

 

[betta]

I've played tons and tons of games with fantasy or cartoon violence (even if you don't really think about it a lot of games involve some kind of violence) so I guess I do. That said I've never been into like, shooter type games or any games with "realistic" violence where you shoot a bunch of people or whatever e.g. Grand Theft Auto etc. I'm a wimp and also I just don't enjoy it lol the goriest game I've played is probably Conker's Bad Fur Day if that tells u anything. OH and there was this old arcade style game (think it actually was an arcade game originally idk) called Rampage where literally all you do is walk around as a giant monster and destroy cities, for some reason I loved that when I was a kid.

 

[Reginald Fairfield]

Not really into them, but I think any government intervention would be likely to have a negative effect on our favorite hording sim.

 

[hestu]

Aside from the cartoony stuff that Zane was talking about, I don't play a ton of violent games. The only one that's kind of gore-y that I play religiously would be Skyrim; other thank that, I'm not a huge fan I guess.

 

[therandompuppy]

I personally don’t really enjoy violent games because the visuals tend to frighten me easily haha

 

[Xara]

i personally don’t - i’m more into calming and casual games rather than violence or stuff with gore ;w;

 

[Vextro]

I dont have a problem with them, they can be fun !

 

[Pop-tart]

I like violent and non-violent games equally

 

[UglyMonsterFace]

I'm not very sensitive to violence so I do enjoy some in my games if it serves the story or adds horror to a horror game.

 

[InstantNoodles]

I love violent video games Probably because of early exposure to hack and slash games like Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden and God of War. I wouldn't necessarily play a game because it is violent (e.g. Wolfenstein) but violence is a welcome aspect of games I play!

 

[Romaki]

I have no problem with violence in video games, but it's not something I seek out because that in particular doesn't interest me like that.

 

[Alexander97]

I don’t necessarily play super violent games, but alien isolation is the exception, due to me being an alien fan. Great game overall, alien is super smart and scary, but the androids are super annoying.

 

[Dunquixote]

It depends on what you mean. If you mean a lot of gore, usually no. I do love Dragon Age (lots of gore but strangely i was fine with most of the stuff). I like some of the Assassin’s Creed games. I liked all of the Metal Gear Solid games except for the multiplayer fighting one (peacewalker was okay), though I was disturbed about the aftermath of the boss fight with the guy with the crows (forgot his name). The beginning of mgsv phantom pain too disturbed me a bit too. I played one resident evil game and some of bloodbourne and I have to say that was a difficult task (i’m not one for scary games either lol).

 

[Dwayne Johnson]

i like them a lot lol, they're usually really fun especially if its a character action game and built around getting as long of a combo as possible like in MGR or DMC

 

[VanitasFan26]

The only violent video games I played mostly Rockstar Games like Bully and Grand Theft Auto. My favorite one is GTA San Andreas. Of course just because I play these games doesn't mean it makes me want to do violence like the news media likes to make you believe that.
