Would you drop gaming if violence was banned?

[Gahars]

I know this is just supposed to be a hypothetical situation, but I'm still curious: how could this possibly happen?

 

[Castiel]

Would you? I'm not just talking about violence in video games. I'm talking about violence, in your Province/state/country.. etc etc.

If violence was banned, i'd punch the guy who banned it in the face. But seeing as violence is part of every animals natural behaviour (showing dominance, claiming land or just fighting off love rivals) I might just punch the OP in the face for asking one of the stupidest questions i've ever had the displeasure of hearing

Based on the first post, you can't. That's violent.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say he was being facetious.

There's no way for those who ban violence to know whether or not I still play videogames.

I think this is more of a hypothetical question. Think of it more as "would you play video games if they no longer produced violent ones?"

 

[gamefan5]

No, it's not Aside from all the other faulty analogies you conjured, a videogame does not require violent content, as any puzzle/music game can demonstrate.

But most video games aren't puzzle and music games.

Even something as simple as Legend of Zelda or Final Fantasy can be considered violent. I mean look at the lessons Zelda is teaching us. Kids should just pick up swords and fight evil? Fuck you Nintendo for ruining our youths!

I know I used to make swords using wood and fight with my friends when I was a kid. LOL!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yes I would, because no one controls my life but me.

Okay, bad rephrasing on my part. Would you continue playing video games (meaning current/future ones) if there was no more violence in them?

EDIT: The method on how violence was phased out is unimportant.

Well what would they produce then, dating sims?

Music games, puzzlers, some point and clicks, etc.

if they banned violent games i would start stabbing people responsible, then any one else i saw. i would also encourage everyone i know to do the same untill the ban was lifted. think of prohibition!

Yes, prohibition was definitely solved like that.

 

[ShadowSoldier]

Some of my favourite games have absolutely no violence in to begin with.

Such as?

Tetris.

 

[Just Another Gamer]

Probably, I enjoy VNs and will be happy to play them but then I would miss my RPGs since playing just 1 type of game all the time is really boring so I would be find but it would get tedious after a while.

 

[1234turtles]

Yeah considering most of my favorite games contain violence and they're not even hyper violent it's megaman battlenetwork violent.

 

[DinohScene]

No violence in videogames anymore?

I still got Sheep GBA, HK Roller Rescue, HK Seasons and other games.

 

[SinHarvest24]

That's like saying, "Would you stop breathing if oxygen got banned?"


It just isn't possible.....

No, it's not Aside from all the other faulty analogies you conjured, a videogame does not require violent content, as any puzzle/music game can demonstrate.

How many analogies did i make?

Also

You missed it....

I'd probably drop gaming and enjoy the wonders of nature.

I also enjoy the wonders of nature. When I'm in the land of Skyrim.

Relevant.

Dammit.

Had that post Multiquoted, ready to read the rest of the thread to post something highly relevant like this.
And then.
