Its really a shame that that's kind of how it is. Even if its not true. I just look at the violent video game thing like this. For every person that has committed a violent crime in their life due to playing violent video games, there is a much larger number of people who have played the same exact game(s) and never committed a violent crime in their lives. So I think its just the individual(s) not the video games.
Said it once, and I'll say it again. I'm 26 years old and I would give away my PS4, PS3, or X-box 360 to keep my Super Nintendo.
Super Nintendo is the greatest gaming system ever created, and always will be.
Changing this a bit, I skimmed through it and the author isn't trying to troll. He's just pointing to the way the mainstream sees gamers, and he doesn't really come to any conclusions. Fortunately I don't care about the mainstream so… meh.

Don't forget their's the people who commit violent crimes for unrelated reasons and games still get blamed

Oh yeah that too lol people just like to find something to put the blame on.
@biteme_fanboy: Whoa whoa whoa buddy, let's not get carried away now.
N64 still reigns supreme.
Wrong, the Wii U is for kids. Nintendo sucks now but their old stuff is still sick. Well, sick in a vintage, historical type of way.
I don't concur.
I concur with this non-concurment.
Ugh, I hate every time someone brings this up. Just because a game doesn't have gore,doesn't automatically make it a kid game.

I prefered N64. Only had 2 games for my super nintendo and sucked at both.
@jayc1324 Some of their new stuff is good. LOZ is always solid. The new one is gonna be open world kind of like Skyrim too? And Smash is coming out? Wii U is stepping it up. All they need is a Metroid reboot.
I'm not any kinda of gamer. That being said I own an FC Twin console because I still enjoy playing old Nintendo and Super Nintendo games with my family. I'm not sure why anyone would view that negatively. Also the few really hardcore gamers I know are the biggest Nintendo enthusiasts I've ever met. Both are in their 30's.
@dragonborn_ct: Haters gonna hate.
Nintendo certainly isn't for kids; it isn't my primary console, but it's fun if you wanna re-play child hood games.
LOL Really?
Abel is for kids too!
@darthaznable: lol Bout time somebody recognized Abel Nightroad!
@ostyo: I don't hate Nintendo, son. I just find the article silly :p
That's funny, since last time I checked most (if not almost all of) Nintendo games were rated E...as in for EVERYBODY, no matter what your age is.

It's basically the same argument people have about guns. People blame the gun rather than the person who used it. Same thing with games. People want to blame the violent game for the violent act of a person. I have never seen a copy of GTA or Assassin's Creed ever kill a person before, yet people kill other people every single day. We need to stop blaming the inanimate objects and instead place the blame on person who actually committed the crime.

There can be a counter argument that people who arent' fully developed mentally are effected by violent games more so than regular folk. Granted this is INCREDIBLY rare. Like those girls that tried to kill their friend as an offering to Slenderman. I remember another instance where this guy smothered his newborn son for crying while he was playing xbox. In that second case games weren't directly involved but I believe the kid would have still been alive if he weren't playing games possibly. The problem is anti-game officials loo at the game itself rather than the ones who play them.

Idk I still think its the individual. The main reason is because I was playing violent video games (Mortal Kombat 1 & 2) and watching horror movies (Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on elm street, Texas chainsaw massacre etc. ) since I was like 4 years old, probably sooner but I cant remember back that far but I know for an absolute fact I played and watched that stuff a whole lot (Probably way too much for my age tbh) I was even in kindergarten and ive never gotten in trouble for violence :) The only thing I think it has done to me that could be deemed negative is that I really enjoy playing violent video games and watching horror and violence based movies, but that's not hurting anybody and neither am I :)
@blade_r: Well yeah that was the whole point of my argument. Mentally unstable people will be affected by games more so than people like us.
@blade_r: Well yeah that was the whole point of my argument. Mentally unstable people will be affected by games more so than people like us.
Yeah I agree with that 100% but still I don't think video games and movies should be bashed because of mentally unstable people, because if it wasn't for them being mental unstable or having something wrong with them, they most likely wouldn't do those things. I agree witnessing violence can definitely influence those particular people so I understand and see where those arguments come from, I really do. But as somebody who witnessed heads being torn from torsos, still beating hearts getting ripped out, people getting cut in half, people cutting off other peoples faces and wearing them and all sorts of messed up stuff since I was a toddler it bothers me when people try to say those things make people do bad stuff, since I literally have never gotten in trouble with the law, not once lol

N64 was great. But Idk, I like Super Nintendo better, IMO it has a ton of better games.
@ostyo: U noob :P
@darthaznable: N64 was a huge step forward in gaming but I am sensing that your continued love of it is because you played it in your childhood and it has sentimental value or something like that
@darthaznable: N64 was a huge step forward in gaming but I am sensing that your continued love of it is because you played it in your childhood and it has sentimental value or something like that
I was playing it recently. I didn't really like games until PS2 came along so I enjoyed it more when I was older than I was when I first got it. So there isn't really any sentiment..at all.
@darthaznable: oh.. So you actually just love it
@darthaznable: oh.. So you actually just love it
Probably my favorite Nintendo console. GameCube is pretty close just because it had Custom Robo.
@darthaznable: GameCube is my favorite, can't really explain it, but its something about the cube shape that's appealing
