Violence is violence, Killing in Manhunt is for fun, the same way you kill for fun in every other game, we dont care if the dev put a whole month putting flesh around the bone just for us to "justify" the violence. If we have to cleanse this forum of violence, lets rename it, Hippy2s.com.

Cant stand violence, dont freaking surf on a board dedicated to a Violent game.

there is  a difference between violence and execution.

Execution = What? Violence.  Because stabbing some 1 while he is laying on the ground (Cod4 last stand) is any better?....Blowing someone to smittereens with C4 is any better? No, as i stated before, Violence is violence, live with it! Cant stand violence, go browse another forum.

Well here's the problem with 'Last stand', hes still waving a gun around shooting at you where as execution is cold blood murder where the victim is defenceless, and C4 well sorry buddy those people are at war and they have every right to blow the fuck out of each other where execution is still cold blooded MURDER.

Manhunt and Manhunt 2 actually have proper plots and the senseless killing is infact justified, Manhunt 2 (not played it yet) probably has a deeper plot even.

So what is this great plot?

Exactly. To say Manhunt is just killing is like that ridiculous debate they had on Fox News about Mass Effect.

Dont like a game fine, but let people who do like it, enjoy it. I mean, i dont go around in EVERY WoW forum/Thread i can find just to ruin those people fun because I dont like it.

Nobody is protesting against your right to play the game, nor is anyone preventing you from doing so.  We are protesting against people posting videos containing content which most people would find abhorrent, and to which kids who browse these forums shouldnt be exposed.  There is a line, and while I think that for kids of 12 or 13 to be allowed to play games like BF2 and COD4 is close to that line, Manhunt crosses it.

I dont get it when people say "My child or any other child may not be old enough to see what they are watching." In my opinion they know damn well what they are watching. When i was little and when you guys were little you knew what death and killing was. Kid's aren't as stupid as you people make them out to be. It's like 15 year old kids knowing more about sex than their 40 year old parents. There's my opinion.

Kids might be aware that what they are seeing is violence, but what they often dont understand is the reason for why this kind of thing is wrong in real life.  Exposing them to videos as violent as Manhunt de-sensitizes them to the content, whereas most adults have a clearly defined sense of right and wrong which allows them to consume things like this without any detrimental effect.

Yes. Manhunt does have a plot, so does all other video games to come out in recent years. Never played manhunt so I don't know the specifics of it but its not random killing. In pretty much every video-game with a story the developers try to make you dislike the bad guys so you feel your killing of them is justified. Half-Life 2 is a very good example of this, before you can fight the Combine you see them beating up random people. As for the Mass Effect thing, you didn't just say "yeah let's fuck", you had to get the other character to fall in love with you before you could get it on. Also people are not as retarded as they may seem, everyone can tell the difference between video games and RL.

We usually don't do that, but we are bitching in this thread about it seing as that was the intention of this particular thread.

If you enjoy it please do, i have nothing against that at all ...  if the same clip was posted on a forum with lets say a 16 - 18 year age limit i wouldn't react ... this forum is modded with 13 year olds in mind and it will continue to be so until the owner says otherwise - actually nothing you can do about it but watch those videos elsewhere ...

Sure, maybe younger kids might not understand it, but kids 13 above...come on. I grew up playing violent games and watching "scarry/horror" movies and there's nothing wrong with me. My parents made sure to point out to me what is right and wrong, and they made sure I listened.

Are kids parents watching them constantly while they are perusing bf2s?
