Like Kev D's previous post (Down with realism), this is about: is realism good but just about the shooting people in the head aspect.
So, the question is, is it good having games where you can shoot people in the head one time and they die?

For example, the great game The Thing. Most of it is realistic in fighting terms and stuff but it takes loads of hits in the head just to kill one person which isn't very realistic and let the game down a bit. BUT, with Hitman1 & 2, it takes 1 shot in the head to kill all enemies which is fun just running along spraying bullets around and then you hit someone. But bosses are supposed to be a challenge, and on both the hitmans, you can just take the bosses out with a well placed shot to the head. Same with SOF 1 and 2 but they are very fun because have loadsa gore.

So, do you think it's good?

Yeah, sniper rifles are one of the greatest additions I have seen in a video game. They really make you feel like part of the action.

And I agree, by the way, too many shots to kill someone is very annoying!

lol, I honestly think that the sniper in America at the mo could be influenced by GTA and then just before the release if Vice City, he'll get caught and then hel'll blame it onGTA and VC will get banned. NOOOOOOOO

Yeah I recon its good having more realism. If you can shoot someone 40 times and they dont die then stupid American teens go on shooting spree's and the games get blamed.

I agree, but it can be annoying on hitman.

I think that kind of realism is good i.e hitting someone in the leg and they fall over but don't die, ht em in the head and they do .T.his is the best realism.
