Dishonored Displays Some Creative Killing

[Arakasi]

Use violence for its own sake and the various methods of murder you programmed to advertise, and I' not buying your game.

I won't support immaturity and I'm not going to reward a frat-boy mentality.

If senseless, bloody violence is for an immature audience, then why do they stamp it with the big 'M'?

Anywho, I for one intend on buying this game as I have been anticipating its release since I first read about it in GI. It's going to be fun finding my own combinations for doling out harsh death and destruction.

M for "mature in age," not in mental capacity lol.

Violence is fun. Get used to it.
It matters not how intelligent someone is, an occasional indulgence in escapism of some sort is relaxing. Even ones where you slice through people like they were swiss cheese.

Also, if you knew a thing about the game before condemning it, you would realise that throughtout the game you can actually choose not to kill anyone whatsoever, which, from what I can tell from hints, will get you some kind of better ending.

I'd be less eager to condemn a game that didn't consider its selling feature to be how many ways you can murder people.

Killing in video games is absolutely fine. Treating your audience like blood thirsty frat boys is not fine. At least have some respect for your audience.

"Phaw! Look at this close up! See how painful this death would be? Fucking awesome, huh!" Compelling.

Reducing all of us who enjoy pixelated murder to 'frat boys' is exactly the same kind of ad-hominem I saw you denounce in another thread.

Which is exactly why I didn't say that. If you're going to misrepresent what I say, we can go our separate ways right now for all the positive it will do.

You're right, I guess that wasn't your implication whatsoever.

/sarcasm mode off
Face it, you were wrong, you insulted something without knowing the product to the full extent to which judgement becomes reasonable.

Again, you misrepresent my words. I was clearly talking about the advertising--I even said that;

I said I wouldn't support or reward immaturity and a frat-boy mentality--the methods of advertisement being used, as stated in the paragraph above.

Please, represent my argument properly, or don't try to discuss it with me at all.

Considering that was only one of they ways in which they have advertised this game, and I have mentioned that it does appeal to more than your fabled 'frat boys', you really have no leg to stand on. None at all.

Anybody know how this happens?

Spoiler

I'm curious.

OP: What I'm curious about is, is what is there to motivate me to use my powers intelligently? What's stopping me from just charging in head-first and swinging my sword around?

Holy batnipples!
I didn't know the game was due October 9th! Thought it was like a year left!

You just made me a very happy panda.
