Thanks a ton

1. What is the goriest game you have ever played, why?

 

 

 

I play Postal 2; it's not exactly gory - more towards sensless violence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. What was your first gory game, how old were you

 

 

 

By "gore factor" would've been Wolfenstein 3D or even DOOM; back in the day. Wouldn't have a clue how old I was then. 6 or 7 would be close.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. What do you think when you experience gore in a video game

 

 

 

"Meh"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Do you shy away from gory games?

 

 

 

Nope.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Have you ever stopped playing a game due to its gory content?

 

 

 

Nope.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. In general do you find gory video games better han non gory ones?

 

 

 

Not really; I'm more for a half decent story line / plot in a game than anything else.

1. What is the goriest game you have ever played, why?

 

 

 

I don't really play much gory games. I guess GTA, for blood content? I dunno.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. What was your first gory game, how old were you

 

 

 

Probably Heretic or Doom.. 5 years old?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. What do you think when you experience gore in a video game

 

 

 

"Eh. Whatever."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Do you shy away from gory games?

 

 

 

Nah. Not really.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Have you ever stopped playing a game due to its gory content?

 

 

 

Nope. ;P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. In general do you find gory video games better han non gory ones?

 

 

 

It all depends on game play.

It really has

1. What is the goriest game you have ever played, why?

 

 

 

Silent Hill 2 and 3 were rather gory as well as Resident Evil.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. What was your first gory game, how old were you

 

 

 

Resident Evil. The first one remade on Gamecube. I had to have been 13 or so.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. What do you think when you experience gore in a video game

 

 

 

I think "this is one hell of a game!".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Do you shy away from gory games?

 

 

 

Nope. As a matter of fact, a game with high gore content makes me want to play it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Have you ever stopped playing a game due to its gory content?

 

 

 

No.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. In general do you find gory video games better han non gory ones?

 

 

 

Yes.

1. What is the goriest game you have ever played, why? Hard to choose really. Doom III was pretty up there in the Gore content but there are worse games out there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. What was your first gory game, how old were you Doom, I was probaly 6 or 7.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. What do you think when you experience gore in a video game I'm generaly focusing on if it's a good game or not.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Do you shy away from gory games? It doesn't stop or start me. I look for a good game, not the one with the most gore.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Have you ever stopped playing a game due to its gory content? No

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. In general do you find gory video games better han non gory ones? Too general of a statement IMO. Sure there are some great games with gore (Half life series, Doom series) but there are just as many good games without gore or very little of it.

1. What is the goriest game you have ever played, why?

 

 

 

The goriest game ive ever played was probably Soldir of Fortune: Double Helix. In the game, you could actually shoot out peoples body parts (i.e. shooting their neack blows their head right off, the elbow blows the arm right off.). The blood could actually be seen splattering.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. What was your first gory game, how old were you

 

 

 

The first gory game i played was Duke Nukem 3D. Tons of dead pig cop corpses, along with the trapped naked chicks ;) Age 4.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. What do you think when you experience gore in a video game

 

 

 

Generaly I ignore gore and blood and the such. Im there for the story line and game play, not for graphics and the specifics of the violence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Do you shy away from gory games?

 

 

 

I dont "Shy away" more as, i just dont like most gory, as most have no good plot line and game play. The same crap, different pile. And as i said, i dont care if a game has gore is violent.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Have you ever stopped playing a game due to its gory content?

 

 

 

No

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. In general do you find gory video games better han non gory ones

 

 

 

Most games i play dont have gore, so most of the time, less gore=better game play.

Sorry that I really can't answer, but these are my thoughts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because I am only 14, I really can't get very violent video games. However, I can state my thoughts on the topic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kids have issues. Trouble in school, punk kids who push them around, parents who are always (Pick one) drunk, smoking, doing drugs, gone, beating their kids, never helping their kids, or just plain don't care.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are signs that something is wrong, but bad parenting is the real issue. Bad parents don't pay attention, and the pain builds. Eventually, they have so much pain that the only way they can relieve their pain is with violence, which leads to the pain of others.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then, what's the scapegoat? It can't be the parents, could it? What a dumb idea! :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Parents, that's the cause. Not all parents, just the bad ones. The ones who don't take the 10 minutes a day to ask "How was school?" or "Is something wrong, dear?". If bad parents were better at their jobs, maybe there isn't a reason that Video Games are a topic in Washington D.C., other than, I don't know, SOMETHING THAT MATTERS!

"How did it start? I mean, did one kid just yell out lets have sex!""

1. What is the goriest game you have ever played, why?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Soldier of Fortune 2. It is the goriest because of the level of damage one can do to enemies. You can kill them by shooting off both legs before they hit the ground, then you can shoot off the arms once they are dead, then crouch over the face and gradually cave it in by hacking at it with a knife. It's important to emphasise that blood spurts from the stumps, you see the jagged edges of the shattered skull and there are several stages before the face is completely caved in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. What was your first gory game, how old were you

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Doom. 9 or so.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. What do you think when you experience gore in a video game

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It adds to realism, and consequently makes the game more satisfying. That is, gore as a result of my violent actions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Do you shy away from gory games?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, I seek them out. I always think that FPS games would be better with dismemberment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Have you ever stopped playing a game due to its gory content?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. In general do you find gory video games better than non gory ones?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's a bad question. There are plenty of excellent games that have no violence, let alone gore in them and there are plenty of excellent games that do have gore in them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You should probably enquire as to people's ages. I'm 21.

ya know? thaqts a great idea!

1. What is the goriest game you have ever played, why?

 

 

 

Killer 7. The game might have been cel-shaded, but that didn't stop the use of red. Limbs being blown off from Heaven Smiles? Talking decapitated heads? Enemys exploding into droplets of blood? Yeah, that's pretty gory.

 

 

 

2. What was your first gory game, how old were you?

 

 

 

Probably Mortal Kombat 4 on N64 back when I was about 10-11. Those fatality's still make me laugh.

 

 

 

3. What do you think when you experience gore in a video game?

 

 

 

Eh, gore isn't a factor for a good game, it can add or hinder the game.

 

 

 

4. Do you shy away from gory games?

 

 

 

Nope.

 

 

 

5. Have you ever stopped playing a game due to its gory content?

I actually forgot about that game; but yea - definiately up there with the gore. I remember the first time I played it I shot a guys leg off with the shotgun. It never really held my inrest though so I never went back to it. At the time the gore seemed similar to UT where the head would explode if shot with a sniper rifle, etc. And the body would explode when it was hit with rockets and shraple guns and such.

Mortal Kombat 7 or 8 years old or something?

Of course not.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. In general do you find gory video games better han non gory ones?

 

 

 

Nope. Doesn't really matter to me. It has to fit the game. Gore fits Mortal Kombat, so it's great. Gore doesn't fit Super Smash Brothers, but it's still a very awesome game, it would be less good if it had a lot of gore in it.

Very trure, my thoughts are that kids are to little to put gory video games in to the proper perspective. In other wards it makes them feel more adult if they play them

If bad parents were better at their jobs, maybe there isn't a reason that Video Games are a topic in Washington D.C., other than, I don't know, SOMETHING THAT MATTERS!

1. What is the goriest game you have ever played, why? I haven't really played any OTT gory games. Probally either Oblivion or Half-Life 2. I've played on San Andreas and Doom 3 for short periods ie. 30 mins at friends but not all the way through.

 

 

 

2. What was your first gory game, how old were you 6/7/8 playing on Doom.

 

 

 

3. What do you think when you experience gore in a video game Either, 'awesome' (blood splatting on the walls after a headshot) or 'Too much' (violence with chainsaws).

 

 

 

4. Do you shy away from gory games? When I was younger, yes I did. I still wont play things like Doom 3 but thats more because I don't like horror games.

 

 

 

5. Have you ever stopped playing a game due to its gory content? Again, yes when I was younger. I stopped playing Doom because the violence upset me a bit (6/7/8 remember).

 

 

 

6. In general do you find gory video games better han non gory ones? A bit of gore can add to a game, but only a bit. If the stuff portrayed is what I would call 'sick', then I find it disturbing and I'll stop playing. By sick I mean the really senseless, cruel and unnessecary violence most often found in horror games.

 

 

 

7. How old are you? 15
