/v/ - Video Games

>>16317757

Someone should mod one of these games to be a US invasion of Israel. Watch them kvetch over a neocon war game against their neighbors suddenly be antisemitic and cruel because they're the targets.

>>16317757

I get that this is probably what British and American special forces would do in this situation, but it's still killing human beings. Not edgeposting, but in my head there's only a fine line between someone who would want to be this type of soldier and the people who do mass shootings. I'd guess they're the kind of people you see on liveleak who are just waiting to be within their right to self defend and then immediately switch gear to a psychopathic animal brutalizing someone. Sometimes it seems a lot of people are secretly like that, especially niggers.

>>16317722

Play Doom and Unreal to enjoy cartoony violence and killing if you don't to have someone look up your skirt, faggot

>>16317722

that does sound kind of unnerving. was it building up to some kind of plot point? if not its pretty distasteful but keep in mind its just video games. play is play. if you take out the familiar and sympathizable elements violence isnt as disturbing, even if its ultra violent like doom.

video games wouldnt be the only thing guilty of "desensitization to violence", not by a long shot. they always want soldiers i guess and edgy sells. although, does it? sometimes people take the complete opposite approach and decide that what sells is having as wide a possible audience as possible by keeping the rating low.

Goddamn, it's 2019 and niggers are still playing this "desensitize you to violence" bullshit.

so is this from shitaku or what

>>16317806

You're confusing games that actually take their plot and mechanics seriously (SWAT 2, 3, 4) and a big budget action game where you make all the bad people dead. Most people who bought COD didn't even touch the SP anyway, it was all in the MP.

Remember No Russian? It literally had an entire mass shooting level.

>>16317876

I sure miss when games had properly fleshed out SP and MP. Pretty fucking sad when COD sort of stands out in that regard.

Yeah, no one was violent before video games right?

>>16317722

>shooting unarmed people

>April 1st

I'll take the bait anyway. That wasn't any old freighter manned by Russians, it was manned by Russian ultranationalists (basically separatist terrorists after a supposed second Russian civil war happened) that are absolutely armed and dangerous. Additionally, they weren't transporting uranium, they were transporting an actual nuclear device given to them by the sandnigger baddie who seized control of what's implied to be Saudi Arabia.

>>16317945

>who seized control of what's implied to be Saudi Arabia

I think its the western side of Saudi Arabia, somewhat near Yemen, where the game 'zoomed' into. The TV announcer mentioned it was a 'small country' or something similar, so it could've declared independence or such.

There's this part in the later half of Max Payne 3 where you're rampaging through a police station full of crooked cops. after clearing one room this lone officer bursts through the door you're about to use and drops his gun on the floor, I only realized after missing three times what he was doing. Makes me wonder how many just popped him in the face and moved on.

I'm not against killing if it's the only option but i prefer to keep causalities to a minimum when allowed to. Like in Perfect Dark where you can disarm enemies with good aim or fists and give them a chance to GTFO even if in most cases they would combat roll to a dropped weapon or pull out a secondary.

>>16317722

>>16317855

Nice digits.

>>16317722

Killing any witnesses that could otherwise blow the mission is SOP.

The important question is, how retarded must someone be to want to play something like COD to begin with?

>>16318077

Max Payne 3 was rather annoying to me as it kept forcing me to execute wounded enemies that were on the ground nearly defenseless rather than let me move on. Any investigator would consider Max to be a complete psychopathic mass murderer, it should've warranted more escalation.

>>16318051

Several of the USMC missions invade the eastern part of the arabian penisula near or in Kuwait and eventually progress toward the center of SA, finally ending toward the southern part of Iraq. All of the in-game locations the global map zooms onto are desert on real life maps, with the exception of the last in Iraq where Al Asad sets off a nuke in the capital city , which is very close to the real city of Ahvaz. I'm not sure if the sandniggers did some pan-arab thing and became one big country or what, but that's what makes sense to me. Lore really gets my rocks off sometimes, even in COD games.

>>16318127

It's just an april fools thread.

>>16317722

Funny, I wonder how I've managed to not mindlessly slaughter everyone I've ever known/seen considering the number of shitty console games I've played. Killing people in games has nothing to do with reality, only retarded lunatics disregard consequence IRL, video game violence isn't violence, it's a poor sterile depiction written by hacks. Stop being such a faggot.

Provided they're not being watched by the media the SAS et al out on some ludicrous time sensitive mission looking to secure a hostile boat full of nuclear material are probably gonna tap everyone, taking prisoners takes time, assessing armed/unarmed is risky and may not be worth the effort unless they need info from someone on board.

Torrent when?

>>16318118

Damn

>>16317806

>I get that this is probably what British and American special forces would do in this situation

nigga American soldiers literally rape little boys in Afghanistan on the US taxpayer's dime, you think they'd have trouble shooting unarmed people?

>>16318976

I know about the white helmets being shit, but where's the source on your claim?

>>16318976

I think you mean to say that American soldiers are complicit in allowing Afghan policemen and soldiers to rape little boys because of the Bacha Bazi thing.

I feel bad for those troops because they've been ordered not to interfere with kids being raped. It's a harsh way to get redpilled about the US Military and the real purpose of Operation Enduring Freedom.

>>16317945

>it's okay to kill unarmed peaceful people because they work for big bad

>>16321631

>“Americans shoot things and they blow up and the like, so as you’d expect, they make movies like that,” said Miyazaki at the time.

>“If someone is the enemy, it’s okay to kill endless numbers of them,” he continued. “Lord of the Rings is like that. If it’s the enemy, there’s killing without separation between civilians and soldiers. That falls within collateral damage. How many people are being killed in attacks in Afghanistan? The Lord of the Rings is a movie that has no problem doing that [not separating civilians from enemies, apparently]. If you read the original work, you’ll understand, but in reality, the ones who were being killed are Asians and Africans. Those who don’t know that, yet say they love fantasy are idiots.”

Nothing wrong slaughtering another race that wants you dead.

>>16321667

>lord of the rings is like that

>there's no separation between civilians and soldiers

But the forces of Sauron don't really have fucking civilians, now do they? They have slavenigger orcs, sure, but those slaveniggers are literally creating weapons and armor for the Uruks. They're not being peaceful civilians that dindu nuffin and are trying to live their peaceful lives in the cheese mines of Isengard, they're part of the enemy's industry. Furthermore, the only time you really "see" these "civilians" get fucked up is when the Ents go to war and flood the mines at Isengard. Seriously, I don't remember a single scene where "innocent orc civilians" get killed in the LOTR movies.

>>16322027

Sauron and Melkor used human slave power on top of their slavenigger orcs. If I recall Aragorn gave the slaves the shitheap remains of Mordor when he freed them.

>>16322100

Yeah, but the washed up old man of overrated anime mentioned mindlessly slaughtering civilians if they were on the enemy's side, which doesn't happen to those human slaves, except on accident.

>>16317722

There is literally nothing wrong with violence.

>>16318118

cause middle eastern dictators never work with russia, its all a false flag deep state conspiracy bbq

>>16323396

Why would you ruin computer equipment like that?

It's standard stuff, if you'd played SWAT3 and 4 you'd know that you need to disarm, restrain and cuff even civilians because while that granny might LOOK innocent, the moment you turn her back she could pull out a weapon and end one of your teammates lives, if that means you need to taze her or fill her eyes full of pepper spray then it's tough shit. It's the same in special forces operations, only a long way from backup and without the logistics and support needed to restrain people that LOOK like non-combatants, you have to do the next best thing, which is kill them. It's dark and morbid, but that's how military units actually work when performing pseudo-police actions in outside jurisdictions, it's never been hidden, it's just not widely publicized for obvious reasons.

This, the CoD games especially but likely more games are developed with/for the military industrial complex. With bandwidth improved as much as it is it could even be used for real-time monitoring of player performance, the Unity engine privacy policy reveals something of the sort for instance.

>>16321667

You know anon what's hilarious. Anons believe this, yet object when the Jews, Blacks, Arabs, and Asians do it to whites. Yet nationalism is the only thing that will save the west from this genocide. In essence they celebrate their own extinction with glee.

>>16326257

Everyone knows Miyazaki is a faggot. He probably has a shotacon shrine in his basement.

Funny how every post-WWII CoD game makes you wish the Germans had won.

>>16326313

I don't understand that fifth image.

What does master chief have to do with heavy metal and why are his eyes glowing?

>People play violent video games

>It's all bloody and shit

>People watch the Christchurch shooting

>Wtf why is there no blood???

FPS games violence is so unrealistic that you really can't even compare the two honestly. One is violent and stylized and the other is mundane, boring, and unlikely to really trigger a disgusting reaction unless it's a shotgun point blank to a head or some shit.

>>16317722

It's people like you why Australia still bans Video Games…

>>16318077

>a police station full of crooked cops

That's a bit of an exaggeration. He straight-up invades and kills an entire police department like the terminator. That's FAR from the only WTF moment of MP3 compared to the other games, though.

>>16326378

It's from a series of licensed Halo crossover games that came out recently.

>>16321615

I remember reading about a soldier guarding poppy fields, and the thinly veiled threat his CO gave him when he questioned why they were doing that instead of going after hajis.

Statistics are great.

Just like how the crime rate has actually gone down throughout all of this.

>>16328414

>>Of course we know that media images have an effect of people's behavior.

>Where's the proof?

You're fucking brain damaged. Holy shit. The brain cannot distinguish between a video and reality. People mirror what behaviors hebewood shows them. They think the actions are legitimately how to behave. Even when told historical facts BEFORE viewing a hebewood film that shows history apocryphally, they give THE HOLLYWOOD INTERPRETATION OF HISTORY rather than the truth.

>99% of boys play video games

That's patently false, even in the West.

>What does that even mean?

You seem illiterate.

>>16328525

>it reduces girls lifespan by 20% and boys by 40%

Fuck yes, I'm going to die soon.

>>16328566

The simple fact that you are interacting with men here probably increased your lifespan, although digital crutches can only do so much.

>>16328581

I haven't spoken to anyone in the real world in 8 years, so that's a point in my favor.

>>16328566

>learning history is at all similar to influencing interpersonal behavior

Nah

>>16328566

>The brain cannot distinguish between a video and reality.

Source?

>>16328583

You mean face to face, this is the real world. And shit man, that's either macabre or monk getting closer to God.

>>16328563

Are you really going to fucking pretend like you wouldn’t see this shit word for word on neogaf or resetera screencaps?

The problem with arguments about how narratives influence people is that play is not necessarily a narrative that the brain considers to be connected with reality, since it a game is a type of mental and social exercise. Now cinematic games and the constant barrage of propaganda in other media obviously have some effect on people, though not everyone and not necessarily the intended effect, it especially works on those that are easily affected, the young and the weak-willed. The biggest problem with any study of people though, is the premise that there is some commonality between differing castes, sexes, races, and intellects. I'd also say that any reduction in violence is a symptom of a great mental disease amongst humanity.

>>16328716

All of those statistics are bullshit because they don't discriminate on racial lines. Niggers commit far more crime than Aryans, yet both are lumped into the same group and solely distinguished based on age.

>>16328566

>The brain cannot distinguish between a video and reality.

this sentence has given me an idea for a study. Lets say you gather up a reasonable amount of test subjects and show them two beheadings. One is real, the other is fake but has a realistic appearance. Let each subject choose which he thinks is real or fake and see how many people got it right.

>>16328722

His chart also disproves his age argument.

The age difference (the purple) is virtually the same between 1980 and 1990, yet the 1990 crime rate is nearly 20% higher.

Theres also the fact that we have no Idea what country this data is coming from, or if it's even real.

It's also fucking retarded because 15 and 45 year olds shouldn't be lumped together. If he wanted to prove a point he would use a chart that has age groups of 15-25, 25-45, and then 45+.

Or better yet a spread of the annual crimerate of 17 year olds specifically.

Aren't Statistics great?

>>16328743

>One is real, the other is fake but has a realistic appearance

You're not showing whether or not people can distinguish a video from reality then.

You're just testing whether or not the makeup artists can make a convincing beheading

>>16328722

>abloo abloo

The same holds true throughout countries around the world, and throughout all historical periods crime data has been collected. As such, the effect has been universally acknowledged by criminologists for decades as the preeminent factor in crime waves.

Moreover, he's covering for the specious claim most censorship shills push: That watching scenes of bad behavior magically desensitize you or alter behavior through subconscious wrongthink waves, bypassing the conscious ability to watch things without gormlessly incorporating them into your psyche.

The Human Brain Can Distinguish Between Virtual and Real: Study

Different Parts Of The Brain Handle Fantasy And Reality

https://archive.fo/iN8RD

Thus far, the only thing that I've found stating "the mind cannot distinguish reality from fiction" is when dealing with the imagination, not the visual: https://archive.fo/e2WdK

The NZ shooting video made me realise media hasn't desensitiesed me to violence. it's over sensitised me. Violence in video games and other media is dark and messy and loud, and all around treated with a level of dramatic reverence that just isn't there in real life. I always thought shooting someone would be traumatic. After watching that video, the first thing that struck me was how much of a doddle it looked. It was kind of funny, and then it was kind of boring. I felt nothing else except concern that the emotional reaction I expected to receive simply wasn't there.

>>16328819

This has nothing to do with predilection to rationality in the audience. Think of, for instance, a historical drama about the Hundred Years War, in which soldiers outfitted with the wrong types of armor and weapons, go about graphically raping and pillaging onscreen.

Any audience will, by necessity, engage in a completely different way with the rational historical claims being made by the prop department's choices in historical recreation, versus the sensational experience of the story's violent content.

>>16328806

A thread I made a long time ago probably 3 years ago where I asked what would you do if you couldn't play video games with no arms or vision. Someone said something about jerking off with no hands by rubbing his dick on the sheets and another anon responded saying he couldn't do it because his roommates share a bed with him and he didn't want to wake him up. In the post where he said he slept with his roommates he used the Spongebob picture and immediately after someone shopped it with 3 Spongebobs in the same bed and the thread derailed.

>>16328872

Well I mean for that video you posted the dead give away is the camera shaking like a nigger on an electric chair

>>16328915

What about the lighting, the reflections, the road, the distant landscapes, the sidelines, the textures…?

>>16328920

Still easy to tell which is fake, reality isn't smooth as a babies ass, it's rough and chaotic. I mean look at the landscape difference between the two, another dead giveaway

>>16328967

Imagine if that were a nigger baby how much shit they'd get, course it was a white baby though

>>16317876

to clarify, military units tend to be shoot first, ask questions later so they dont have to be just like swat

>>16318118

You know I never realised how cucked that plot is until now.
