I believe someone had just told me to 'blow a goat' or some such thing. So if you're looking for someone to mention childish school ground comments to I'd look elsewhere.
If I make a reply in jest after someone's reduced the level of 'discussion' that's nothing but me having fun.
Couldn't work that out could you? No siree. Well I take my hat off to you.

Fair enough, but I'd offer that I can't see why you would want to play a game about serial killers and the ending of life when you appear so moralistic about war-based games?
Plus I'm an adult and can differentiate between a company like Infinity Ward who put an awesome amount of effort and care into a title like Call of Duty and a nation that operates almost as if it were independant from the rest of the world and is led by a corrupt chimpanzee.

Shame it came across that way to you.
*Shrugs*
I think you'll find I've been making the point that if you start going after war games you may aswell go after the GTA's and from that all other violent games based on any sort of real world occurences.
Go back and read the posts again.

Exactly.
Soldiers sign up and know the risks. If anything the GTA and serial killer games are more offensive to society than war games.

I didn't say there was a problem with all war games, I said I had a problem with it being franchised and turned into yearly updates. Good quality games could be used to raise awareness of what is actually going on with some things in the world. Good world war two games could actually show people something other than shooting people in the head kills them quicker.
As for the game about serial killers, it's about an FBI agent trying to track down the serial killer, don't know if that was missed too.

But making the game still glorifies serial killers whether you're playing one or capturing one.

I dont know about that nor do I really care, but I was just confused as to why Bonus was getting all huffy about "more World War 2 games flooding the market and glorifying an era which saw millions killed, persecuted and treated like mere animals?" when he likes the idea of a game that glorifies serial killers and uses those as a basis for entertainment.
I fail to see the difference myself but hey.
