Manhunt 2 Coming to Wii

[Pilot_51]

Nonviolent games don't need cute things to be nonviolent. Typically a game that's too violent is one with exaggerated violence, which is unnecessary for a game based on a realistic scenario such as mafia or gangster.

And you know this because your obviously involved with the criminal underworld and such.

I was just reading about this on IGN, and...I have to get it! I like the fact that Wii is actually getting some mature games and not all those kiddish games (like the GameCube did). Can't wait to get it.

You're missing the point. What I'm trying to say is that games should try to be as realistic as possible when it's based off of a realistic scenario, without adding more violence and gore just to keep the excessive-violence-loving people happy. Look at the movies, they're known to exaggerate explosions and whatnot, such as a random car exploding like 10 pounds of C4 when it crashes (why would we have seatbelts if the car explodes every time we crash? We'd be better off flying out the windshield, bouncing off a cement wall, and getting run over by a UPS truck). The way I see it, games exaggerate violence and felonies in much the same way, such as racing through streets and going on killing sprees in populated cities without much resistance.
Sure, people need somewhere to vent their anger (or so they say), so instead of feeding their anger through violence (which makes them feel better once they get a feeling someone else paid the price, even if it's just a simulated image) they could vent it completely harmlessly by going into a closet or sound-proof room or some place where they can yell until they feel relieved without annoying other people (I've heard that actually works).

So......whats your point?

I really dont understand why people get so worked over violence in video games, espeically you guys. GAMERS. I mean, it probably is one of the worst things in the world. Child molesters walking our streets, or knife wielding maniacs threatening people arnt even as worse.

Anyway. End of. Im not having this turn into a damn debate about video game violence (which sounds stupid, considering this a topic about Manhunt). Discuss the game, and more importantly, all the Wii exclusive stuff thats gonna be in it!

I watched my brother strangle people with piano wire while playing the first manhunt and it gave me nightmares for a few weeks. I don't know if I'll get the second one.

Lolz, and you play Resi Evil.

[David33]

Hey, I had nightmares about Resident Evil too, but they weren't as traumatizing as the manhunt ones, besides, I just started to get in to Resident Evil last September, and that was BECAUSE I had a dream about Resi Evil, cause it wasn't a scary dream.
