No it wouldn't it would be called a child corrupting peice of shit then frowned upon by parents just like with Saw and The Human Catepide.Jabberwock xeno said:
Thats sounds familliar...oh yeah i guess shooting babies is wrong both in film, game and i guess all types of media >.<
Pardon any error, for I haven't played it, but aren't they mutated, rabid, undead, alien babies that are trying to rip out your brains?.
That kind of negates the whole point of not wanting to kill kids anyway. They're not innocent, they're not defenseless, and they don't have much to look forward to.
If not, I'll use the same argument I used with MW2. A depiction of something doesn't equal support of said thing. Ignoring and denying these things won't make them go away, we have to learn to deal with them, and one of humanities biggest coping mechanisms is art.
If it is having you kill babies just for shits and giggles, then no intellectual or sane human being will take it seriously, so it's not that big deal...

Maybe it just isn't the right game for you, and no one would blame you for only playing non "horror" games
I see little controversy to some of the infected once being children. It only adds to make the game world more "realistic" (by its own premises) and to the sense of horror the game is going for.
There are no holy cows content-wise. If the game gives fair warning (by rating, marketing, reviews etc.), then it's up to the individual consumer to set his/her own line. Buyer beware.

No, they are asking you to go through a nursery and kill monsters that were once babies, before the evil villains fucked everything up. The evil villains are evil and fucked up after all; they don?t have sensibilities such as leaving the children alone because they are children. But really shooting them doesn?t bother me simply because a picture of a pipe is not actually a pipe.
Also taking a safe place and making it totally not safe is a classic horror technique. It disturbed you. Jobs a good un. Although horror and disgusting things do seem to stray into comedy sometimes, I think it?s hilarious where you explode the bodies with your foot to get stuff like from them. Over the top hilarity.

You do know that the people in Afghan helped make the game, right?HotFezz8 said:
It's a game, in resistance you entered a church and killed aliens, in a resident evil game you walk through a grave yard (if I remember right).
Your not actually killing babies or young children, your playing a game.
No they didn?t go too far its supposed to be a gory horror game that picks on the things that most people in society see as disturbing and wrong.
Personally I do not find dead space or any other horror game scary as long as I have a weapon and I always remember its a game (the graphic aren?t good enough to trick me) so I don?t find it dusting thus I always pick the hardest difficulty option available and treat it as a pure survival game.

1. How is it that in a medium that regularly deals with drug abuse and trafficking, murder, torture, rape, prostitution, violence, gambling, mental illness, terrorism, and theft, children seem to be the only true taboo left? It might just be me, but I think virtual children, just like any other virtual humans, are fair game.
2. The creatures you're fighting aren't really babies anymore. The necromorphs are horribly mutated and mutilated creatures using human bodies as a kind of combination template/host. They're no more human than a piece of beef jerky is a fully-functioning cow.

Part of horror can be to make you do horrible things. It doesn't all have to be bogeymen jumping out of cupboards.
cant agree more with this, i shit my self when that happend.Rednog said:
i dont think the whole shooting the crawlers is a that big a deal, you on a freaking space station full of necromorphs that only have one purpose, to kill and make more necromorphs, there not gona stop at kids its like dantes inferno when you first incounter the damned babies its to make you hesitate
Well, you can always go and hug those cuddly little babies, like that nurse behind the glass in the first room.HotFezz8 said:
But you didn't! You had to shoot them!!!
Now seriously, the game has the proper rating, it says it all on the box. What did you expect to see there when you made the purchase?
PS
Did you know that if you throw any light object with kinesis at those babies, their heads fall off, they don't explode and you can use them as grenades?
Dead Space 2 is a horror game. It's designed to make you as uncomfortable as possible. Having packs of necromorph children is a brilliant way to do that. And the tiny exploding fetuses are a brilliant idea. Gameplay wise, they are really dangerous but also hard to hit, or spot in a crowd. But on a psychological level, they prey on our instinct to protect and help something as small and vulnerable as an infant.
Besides, Dead Space 2 is made by Visceral Games, who delight in gleefully bandying about this kind of horrible content. People who complain about them 'going to far' COUGHDANTESINFERNOCOUGH are just feeding the trolls.
