Well i was wondering if any programmers have turned down an assignment to make a game like that

---

I've never really been given such an assignment. Most of my computer classes focus on creating applications, not games. Even when given the oddball game assignment, it's usually a simple 2D thing.

Do you play Doom, GTA, RE, FF, Heroes, Warcraft, Diablo, Dunguen Siege, Spy VS Spy, Medal Of Honer, Twisted Metal, Crono Cross, Gontlet, Ninja Gidon, Black Hawk Down, or any game that has killing, the controling of demons, skeltons, murderers, vampires, exc.?

---

I usually play RTS games (command & conquer, age of empires, etc), although I've played some of Half-Life & mods. Recently, I've been playing URU, which is non-violent.

I have been playing with Torque in an attempt to create a Christian 3D game. Only time will tell if I can finish it, though.

I've seen Doom 3 being played by a friend, and there's no way I could play a game that bad. Most FPS games are bad enough, Doom 3 goes way over the edge, IMHO.

nope, she seems out of place

*little old lady sitting on a metal bench feeding demonic-mutated pigions as the main dude in doom is blowing the ever-loving snot out of countless deamons with a BFG in a very haunted atmosphere. A shredded mutated arm falls on on of the deamon-pigons and the little old lady picks it up and cuddles it saying, "there there, poor dear!" (the mutated pigon, not the arm)*

nononono! that does NOT work!

Yes the violence is controversial. And the hot coffee did get blown out of poportion ( how hard is it to delete something not meant for release?). But when people rave on and on about killing cops and old ladies they only see the violence. They do not see that your warrant goes up. The cops come after you and arrest you.

I hate it when people blame video games for violence. This stuff has been going on for ages. Look at your parents. Chances are they like different music and tv shows. Why? They are from a different generation.

My grandparents came from a generation where rock was the devil. But it is just a form of expression.

You cannot blame forms of media for causing violence in the public society. If a song, tv, or game says go kill someone you (or parental unit if under age) should have the responsibility of telling reality from fiction.

Sorry for ranting.

One thing I would like to capitilize on is the next major controversial media form. Im guessing it will be the internet or television.

Even humans have been violent from times of Kain games like movies do give people ideas. This is undeniable unless you refuse to believe people who blame games for their violent behaviour. For all my youth me (that was then) and my friends have taken sample of fighting games and such.
And some people claim that they got their violent actions from games like GTA and I do believe they have.

When I played GTA3 the game gave me real feeling of being bad guy and evil few times. I know it's 'just' a game but the it's about murdering in mind and that already is a sin.

So I sure wouldn't make game like GTA nor play it and yet I used to enjoy games like it but not any more and thank Jesus for that!

A video game or and other media cannot cause a person to go out and kill someone. If you look at Columbine you will see that the video game did not make them do it. It was that they were social outcast. NO friends and their parents were in a miltia. The game did not give them the training. The militia did.

GTA is just a game, and games don't make people kill other people. But as with any other form of media, they sure can help to desensitize us to certain things. If you don't believe me, then do some research on combat simulation and the Military.

You make a plan.

Or, I admit to being a lesser Christian than most of you. Maybe I will be damned to hell because I play GTA, but if God was that spiteful, then we'd all be in trouble. Oh well...

Max, I'm not saying that anyone would go to hell for playing any game. The single reason that people go to Hell is because they reject the Only Way to Heaven. You can't be anymore or anyless a Christian than anyone else. The ground is level at the Cross.

Hmmm, what if you already are desensitized to it?

Ex.

Everyone elsee: omg how horrible are you? you dont know what they are going threw. *cry cry cry*

See? As long as you know right from wrong then you can be . If your not taught right and wrong then being desensitized is dangerous.

Edit: just noticed how horrible that ex is. . hope yall get that im trying to say is if you know its wrong(or right) but dont feel any emotional tie then its fine.
