Have you seen the little piggies crawling in the d
Anyone in to warfare/combat games?? Q? MW? Hmmm?

MW: I know you being who you were you'll understand my upset-ness... heh... It says it is all modern warfare with realistic weapons of current times and so on... Call Of Duty usually specialise in WWII but they have moved to modern times.... MW, why would you think, they haven't put my little angel in this game the SA-80? :\ I was awesome with that rifle.. I would -love- to go around on this game poppin' off rounds from an SA... :\ Bring back pleasant memories it would.... ;\
 
hey 17th, my boys love these modern warfare and ww2 games. (wot did I do to my kids to make them want to shoot people????) LOL. They like theTom Clancy games but also Dead rising. YUK. Boys will be boys.
 
All my gaming buddies got married and/or moved away. Go figure! :p

We played the Call of Duty & Call of Duty 2 games, maybe #3, also Battlefield with Desert Combat mods. I was always good at flying choppers around.

But I haven't seen or played the #4 CoD, and don't feel like downloading it. I'm not exactly a Quaker, but I don't much like the fps anymore ...

... WoW's my thing anyway, or even a game like Magic, that can played on or offline (with computer or cards).

I play the tarot tell a story game with my kids. You shuffle the deck, and then as the cards are flipped you have to tell a story about them. See who can get the farthest before the group consensus says you're losing it.

I like killing things- game wise. I like the perverse pleasure of it. It's not so much pleasure in the kill, it's the joy of lofting the middle finger to all do-gooders everywhere. GTA is joyous that way. Total virtual immorality is a breath of fresh air.

But I really prefer strategy. I'm a Ghengis Kan, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, PTA on Sega kind of guy. I've been playing a lot of Civ 4 lately, but I'm bored.

Let me guess, are the 'Arabs' (wink, wink) the baddies? :D

What a daft question 17th, they left the SA80 out because it was crap. I never came across a weapon that jammed up more often (although you were probably in the school choir when they brought them out and I got to play but the first 3 years with them was a nightmare, more likely to kill yourself than anyone else). Give me the LMG anyday, now that I can do damage with.

I have to say I don't play war games and don't allow anyone in my family to. I think there is enough war in the world without playing at it. (I know I am old fart).

Assalamu 'Alaikum, Muslimwoman. I agree.

I think video games need a total paradigm shift. I could get hooked on an MMORPG if one actually came out that involved role-playing and real, creative interactive storytelling. As they stand now, they all don't seem to fall far from "first person shooters" like Call of Duty. Never played that game or any of its sequels, don't wanna. I did used to play James Bond on--what was it?--N64? but it always made me feel kinda ill. World conquest games like Risk and Civilization also leave me feeling dirty after playing. I used to like to play the Sims, though. That was relatively harmless fun, and every once in a while you got to see someone pee themeselves. :D After Dauer turned me on to Second Life, I got hooked on that for a little while. I have been thinking about going back to it and doing some sculpting/building, but think that it would be more healthy and productive for me to stick with drawing on paper at this point.
 
wa aleykum salaam Pathless

I have a playstation 2 and on the odd occasion I can stop hubby playing football on it, the most I manage is Spyro the dragon and Harry Potter (I am such a big kid). I like cluedo type role play games, may get myself Poirot and have just finished all the CSI ones.

I think I have just seen enough war to last me a few hundred lifetimes and I do not want children growing up thinking shooting people is harmles fun. Maybe it is an issue I am just too sensitive about now?

That means nada! Marraige cannot brake my sacred bond to gaming.... Gaming = my life.

3's not bad, I been squeezing the juice out of that one waiting for this the 4th.... First modern, it's set out like a movie... So others can enjoy the show. Great gfx too :D

That's pretty coo :D I am in to card games and board games too but digital is where my most entertainment comes from, oh got one of those "Air hockey" tables you see in bowling alleys.... Wait, you get them in the states right? Anyway they be coo.


I like killing things

Who doesn't! Who doesn't!

Strat eh? Get Ceasar IV..... A game designed for you me thinks...

Naturally.... Aren't they always? lol... It is very realistic on FullHD I feel like it is me really there walking down these streets patrolling!! :D

No! I shall not take such slander! Everyone says that... I never, seriously -never- had any major issues with my rifle.... A pleasure to clean and maintain, and a very very big pleasure to fire. I find it werid that I can STILL remember every part of the rifle and if put in front of me I could strip it in seconds lol.... I -loved- the SA80..

But wouldn't you say, it gives the civi understanding? Also history lessons... But, back to the understanding.... You get in positions where you can be taken down in the blink of an eye, and to think people are/have been in those situations. ;\

I want the white hat for a change, I am sick of being the baddy. :(

But you are a young man, by the time you came along they had redesigned it I believe. Honestly the first 3 years we were more scared of our weapons than any enemy.

NO, no, no, no. It gives them a false sense of war, where you can kill all the baddies and just unplug at bedtime. You don't see or get the feel of real war, of real people dying around you. They get the cool side, the 'brotherhood', the 'we don't leave one of ours behind', etc. They don't hear someone yelling at you 'shift your fat ass or we're leaving you', they don't get the fear factor, the human aspects, the smell and of course the fear. They think that IS war, you just sneak around corners shooting all the bad guys, it's so easy, anyone can do it.

Ban war games and everyone play Spiro the dragon instead :D
 
Screw spiro! lol..... Anyone can do that.... You try some of these S.A.S missions..... lol that takes skill.

This is more realistic.... Serious, you DO get left behind lol... I was in one major freaking gun fight, I was trying to take shelter but couldn't find a safe place I ended up behind this car lying down on the floor looking up at the drivers door just watching these bullets come flying through the cars body work. Started to get over run, I not seeing where my unit were had left without warning I couldn't hear over the fire, anyway car blew up and no idea how I survived that but yeah, in the thick of enemy territory, lost, looking for friendlies ;\

Oh and you in this one do hear people slowly dying ;\ and can see them, shot a few of my own men to just put them out of the pain...
 
Well to me the games are like hollywood movies of war, they make it romantic and heroic and we know war isn't like that.

Spiro and I are in the huff now!! :p (I shall admit my hubby laughs his socks off when I play it because "f*ck my wife is small child play sh*t game".
 
I admit I have a few "kid games" because my wife loves those things, crash bandicoot and all that, I at times can enjoy that, but I tend to see gaming as serious.... And get really involved into it and act like it is me, not just me sat on a couch watching a screen. All games are good though, teach you skills, reactions and all that.

I find it funny you mentioned: "They get the cool side, the 'brotherhood', the 'we don't leave one of ours behind'"

There is one of the S.A.S missions called "We look after our friends..." And you have to cut off power to this house and go in with lasers and night vision and rescue this guy like a hero and rush off to a LZ and get him in this chopper......

Also some cool tests like this sgt called Gaz can complete a shooting/raid course in 19 seconds..... (real time) It takes me 26 seconds lol....... I have attempted it 15 times......
 
I love bandicoot :D

That is my whole point 17th you get drawn in, it stops being just a game. You know better now but how many young minds need the adrenalin rush of taking it off the screen?
 
How many 18 or 19 year olds get swayed by radical, rebellious ideas? They are adults but their ideas are not yet settled, they have not yet learnt enough about life to disconnect from such things ........ what about your poem on the other thread :p
 
I know that but it is a brilliant demonstration of what we are talking about. Young minds explore, they are easily swayed to extreme ideas and they are not as connected to the realities of life.

I don't mean to insult young people, some are very sensible but some are not.
