Anyone who is influenced by games to be violent has a serious problem knowing the difference between reality and a dream.

chacho Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 It definitely depends on the maturity of the gamer. Note that I didn't say age, but maturity. Two very different things. An immature gamer (usually younger) who is easily influenced (i.e. doesn't have a basic understanding of proper behavior, etc.) would most likely be affected by those types of depictions in a game. However, there are always the people who seem "too mature for their age," and know wrong from right, and are just having fun without being mentally influenced.

Acezo Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 It depends on the person. Any time of excitement can make a mentally unstable person violent, but a stable person can easily make note that what they see in a game/movie/whatever should stay in that media.

glitch409 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 no. games dont cause violence. not anymore than a book or a show or a movie. but i consiter it part of the art, so long as it adds to the game. kind of like swears in a classic novel, you wouldnt edit the book to keep kids who read it in school from saying it. its part of our expression as culture, should it be gore, fine. if you hurt someone because a game, you have bigger problems.

vitalflow Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 i did an essay on violence and video games for college... needless to say i agree that video games cause increased levels of agression in young children that can lead to violence. I have been playign games for years and im pretty much passive and unviolent but thats because my homelife was positive and i had no reason to act out. Un fortunatly some kids don't have it as easy as me and they might take their frustrations out on vide ogames. Which can lead to further aggression and violence... my 2 cents Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/231159-do-games-cause-violence/#findComment-584745145 Share on other sites More sharing options...

iverson0881 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Hmm according to my psychology book it is proven that pornography leads to violent behavior. But remember guys correlation does not mean cause and effect. But in that case it was proven. My book doesn't say anything about gaming though.

Ollie64 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Games will not make your average sane-minded person inflict violence on another person, of that I'm sure. When you play a game you know it's not real life; you know that it would be wrong to attempt a "Crash Junction" in your local high street just because you've been playing Burnout 3. The trouble is that games make the most ideal scapegoat when the media wants a reason why a kid kills another kid with a hammer. As we probably all know, this happened recently here in the UK. The papers went nuts pointing the finger at "Manhunt". It later turned out that it was the victim who had been playing the game and not the perpetrator. The media chose to ignore that fact. Games are fine so long as every measure is taken to protect young, influential minds from mature titles such as GTA, Silent Hill & Resident Evil etc. This is not an easy task but it is down to retailers, who should not sell these games to minors and, more importantly, parents to ensure they know what their kids are playing.
