Personally, I think GAMES are GAMES, and the excuse that kids pick up violence from games, is an EXCUSE. Parents need to be parents, PERIOD. Hell when we were kids we ran around with toy guns, that were all black (no fancy colors to let people know they were not real), and we imagined shooting eachother, and being very violent. But when the time came for parents to be parents, they set us straight, let us know when the appropriate time was and was not....Quote:

Well, I've got mixed feelings. Some people say it desensitizes them to killing and I believe that is the case for some. Others it has no effect on. I look at it like this. Some people are more predisposed to be alcoholics. Some people will drink around their kids saying that it will teach them to be responsible drinkers. If they are going to be alcoholics its not going to matter if you drink responsibly around them or not at all. They are going to have problems regardless. The world is a messed up place. The kids that are going to become murderers and the like are not going to get it from video games alone. I would put games like call of duty or grand theft auto where you are actually killing or assaulting another human being as the worst. On the other hand games like halo, skyrim or other sci-fi types would be a little better due to the fact that its not a human being that you're after. Just my opinion
That's the issue me and the wife are having. She came into the living room and saw ke playing Halo. Riding around in a Wrath( alien type tank that shoots plasma looking shots) and shooting at people with a gun. No blood or dismemberment, they just fall or go flying through air when blown up.
She got mad at me. And compared it to him watching something like the last Rambo movie. I see no problem in it. My son only pays attention when Im flying something ect. Its not like im playing Army of Two or COD.
Games are games. If people think the games are influencing and desensitizing kids, they need to take a much closer look at the parenting going on. Parenting is where the vast majority of the issues lie. Without parenting, kids aren't learning right from wrong, what is and isn't acceptable. They're learning to do as they please and feel.
@popo8 All you man.

Being one of the younger people on here, I grew up playing violent video games. Especially because my brother could buy them.
I was playing call of duty when it first came out, and have been playing it ever since. And I agree, it is a parenting issue in society, not a video game issue.
I feel like society makes too many excuses for our issues, we have genuine problems, but we don't target the problem, we make an excuse for that person and treat it like a disability.
Just my opinion
Well me and the wife had a talk. And I showed her the game. Then explained I grew up playing these type of games(granted on older platforms). Raised around guns, hunting, movies. Listened to heavy Rock music.
And I turned out to be a good husband, father, person. Because my father explained to me the differences. So she ended up agreeing with me.
Does anyone have the Samsung mega? I am looking at newer phones and I am down to the mega or the galaxy note 3. I'm working on getting a tab 3 10.1 so if I get the note and the watch and tab they can all sync. I can't upgrade thru my plan or they will kill all my unlimited data. So I am stuck paying retail so I am looking for real world experience first.
