Creativity should never be silenced, regardless of how offensive it to some.

Agreed. Bring back faggot-chan.

Just to play devil's advocate, what is creative about it?

It's an exploration of the darker sides of humanity. It takes guts to actually create those images and script those events - a majority of people enjoy blowing off their opponents head in an FPS, but if forced to actually create something of that sort, they balk. We did an experiment about it in a sociology course I was taking.

We were talking about violence in the media, and how we're a very voyeuristic society, then the prof asked everyone to draw/write the most disturbing thing they could think of for next class. A surprising amount of people refused to even do it.

I'm glad I didn't pay to waste my time with sociology.

I thought it was a good time. It pays to know how people work. Manipulation FTW.

Manhunt really bothered me. Personally, I thought it crossed the line - it's snuff porn without the sex. I buy onto the "it's just a game" argument up to a point, but when you're playing through something that revels in graphic depictions of murder like this, you really need to check your self and ask why it appeals to you.

Yeah, I realize I'm far more likely to stab soemone than NeeoZeed is, but this game just turns my stomach. The world doesn't need shit like this.

Stop being such a pussy. Stabbing someone in the face with a shard of glass is awesome.*





*actually i thought manhunt was pretty crappy. it got really repetitive after a couple hours.

Sociology is a really interesting subject, the problem is that 99% of sociologists are uber liberals that don't understand the concept of personal accountability.

Manhunt was a lot of fun when you included the voice recognition. Ok really just noise recognition, but it worked with the PS2 mic to allow a level of interaction that other games didn't provide. I remember watching my friend play the game with the headset on, he stalked his prey, got into position, then "YO BITCH!!" was heard, and the stooge dutifully came running over to see what the noise was, and then he was dead. And then the severed head was picked up and secured to the belt of the protagonist, until it turned blue about 20 minutes later, when we looked at it again.

Personally I think the game was a bit more graphic than it needed to be, but it wasn't rated teen or pg, it was rated M. I can't wait to see the new one, and I hope they include the voice recognition again.

Manhunt was largely violence-porn for fucked up adolescents, but with decent gameplay and ideas. Hopefully they take the forefront in the sequel.

That was the point. You were supposed to ask yourself why you were doing what you were doing. And you were supposed to feel a little sick about it.
