Manhunt 2 to be released soon

[Bungral]

As ham said, FPS games are completely different.

They are in a completely different mindset and take a different view. There is a difference between shooting someone at range and their body hitting the floor & decapitating or suffocating someone while they die slowly in agony.

Also taking what mrapoc said into account about mental issues.

If you enjoy watching people in pain, being tortured or being killed, maybe you should be questioning why ?



I also feel sub-concious decisions and views come into account where these games are concerned.

They aint people!! Its a bloody game..

Human nature is to be drawn to stuff like that.. To think banning it would be protecting people is ridiculous. We see on the news people being decapitated by terrorists and in films like Hostel we see much worse.

Mrapoc also said:



To me i wouldnt care less how graphic it was - iv seen horrors etc. which are a hell of a lot more graphic but it gets a little twisted where its turned into a game (game: a way of having fun)

I mean its like the film "Hostel/Hostel 2" into a game. I think its kinda "are the graphics realistically life like"

Yes a game is for fun but why do you think we watch films? Its for entertainment which is exactly the same thing.. Should Hellraiser be banned just because its gory as hell? I mean the Freddy films are gory but they don't effect me half as much as say even the film 7 would have when I was younger.

Meh I just don't think you can wrap the world up in cotton wool. If people are twisted enough to get influenced by a game and go and kill someone that way they they are more than likely gonna do it anyway regardless. For normal people it is just a game and yes it is fun..

I still think you're missing the point.

Mentally it is different to watch a film than it is to play a game.

Do you know much about the subconscious and mentalism?

The effects of the sub-conscious are used in advertising and all because of the fact they can be so powerful and uncontrollable.

is Manhunt2 just a mind-w@nk to those who have a stronger subconscious killer? And would stimulating it just make that area of the psyche stronger, and leave them wanting more?

I am studying mentalism and its effects, so I guess I have more of an interest. I just find it interesting that people want to play this game without questioning their own motives.

TBH i would play this game but i look at it a different way. I dont get immersed...i get easily shocked and i often laugh at the pure outrageousness of some of the content.

in my case not the thrill of doing something that you couldnt do in real life is the attraction to games like this - more the tabboo content that makes you feel "naughty"

overall i would feel more shocked than errr "buzzing" after playin this game...but i would try it all the same

i just feel it shouldnt get into the hands who do the opposite

I'm not missing the point and I can only go on my own opinion.. Same as anyone else. As much as you may study it, each and every person is different so effects can hardly be recorded properly.

For me its as simple as this.. I'm not an aggressive person. I don't start fights. I'll stick up for myself if needed but nothing more. I get up, work and come home. Go out some evenings and most weekends, have a good time and come home. Don't look for trouble and try to avoid it as much as possible. I'd happily play any game regardless of how gory, brutal or "wrong" it was. As soon as I finish playing any game like that (i.e. the first Manhunt) I turn off the console and forget about it. Its just a game. Nothing more nothing less. I didn't own the first Manhunt but swapped it with a mate as I was bored of all my games.. Played it twice and didn't complete it. Never gave it another thought after I'd given it back. That's not to say that I wasn't entertained while playing it as I was. There were aims in the game and I tried to achieve them.

None of this oooo what sort of a person must I be hiding inside if I'm entertained by such games. Its just little pieces of data that you can manipulate to do pretty weird things.

Each to their own I suppose.. I'm not gonna get in any more of an argument about this as again, to me its just a game and not worth this much time or debate.

Everyone else feel free though

Im with bungral on this one. I couldnt have said it any better myself.

You play the game, turn off, carry on as normal . I dont play CM DiRT then want to rally my mothers car or play CoD4 and want to go on a killing spree.

Its only a game, for those who like to play it then we shall play. Personally, this thread is pointless because you are obviously going to kick up a debate about the study of peoples personalities which im sure has been debated many times before with no success and some success.

Nice to see im not alone in wanting this game to come out but I wont be bothered if it doesnt, I'll openly admit that. Im not going to miss it but I am now keen on knowing what its going to be like.
