It's not guns or mentally fucked up people that kill people, it's video games. I think everyone should know that by now, considering every mass shooting is blamed on them. In fact, game producers / publishers should be put in prison for these violent crimes. Start with EA pls

I've always considered politicans who blame violence on videogames not real politicans. Cause they really got nothing better to discuss about, so they pick a thing they really know little about and try to gain influence by maniupulating concerned parents or shocked people, who also dont know anything about the thing they are trying to ban.

Videogames have been proved to calm people, just cause they find em in some murderers PC is just a mere covincidence.

Politicians resorting to these empty promises are just pure demagogues when it comes to the election times.

Blaming video-games to try attract votes to yourself is the most pathetic of campaigns.

Imagine the bloodbath if violent videogames actually had that kind of influence.

You would be surprised.
TBH I sorta stopped watching the news for ages after that event due to not expecting any actual news to be revealed to me there.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

They have found pants in the closet of almost every mass murderer. It is obvious to me that pants are the cause of these killings and they should be outlawed.

People already covered it pretty much; I dont think games make people hostile irl, it is more a way to let off some steam by slaughtering stuff ^^ Allthough there is a fair share of games that can make one pissed off which can maybe lead to something like that but still i think the person must have other issues to commit such a crime..

Censorship is silly, maaaybe games could affect kids at a young age or something but thats the parents fault for letting kids play such games..
