People really tie "kills" in games to murder in real life way too casually. When I play a game it's about strategy, team work, and winning.
A lot like Football (Soccer). It has little to do with the terms or animations used in the game -- those are just for entertainment.
I don't play a game because of how violent it is, I play it if my friends have it and/or it has good/fun game mechanics.
- onemoresoop 8y agoJust an honest question: would you play the same game if the bullets were made of chocolate and all the gore was replaced by something else? Assuming that it would have the same engine: strategy, teamwork. etc.. I wonder if whats the attractive to gamers is how real the gore is or whether it's the engagement the game generates and the gore is just meaningless decoration.
