If you shoot people, what happens? You get killed at the end.
If you don't shoot people, what happens? You get killed at the end.
There was no moral lesson here, and if one was intended, then it was very poorly followed through.
No, they don't live. If you don't shoot people, they get killed by your partners.Inazuma wrote: If you shoot people, they get killed.

There's your moral lesson. Sounds like you could learn a thing or two about selfishness while we're at it. Even if you are doomed to be killed in the end, your actions will make a huge difference on the lives of many innocent people.

I'm sorry, am I suppose to feel disturbed about this, seriously I don't give a fuck, no offense to anyone that lost someone, but I got over the whole 9/11 thing years ago (like 5 months later), I do not grief about it, I just move on with my every day life, I don't feel bad for the ones that died, I am sorry but people got to realize that death is just part of life and we all have to go through with it whether you like it or not, I never let anyones death in my life drag me down, sure I love that someone with all my heart, but I least I know that person. I know nobody that died at 9/11, so in other words, I don't care about the ones that died on that faithful day. I mean what if someone died of cancer in Germany, just an everyday nobody just suddenly died, you have not herd of that guy until you looked it up, would you care? no, I don't know who that guy is, nor do I care about him. Now some of you may be saying "do you care about anyone other than yourself, you selfish heartless bastard", the answer is yes, my family is top of my list, I love my family more than anything in the world, I would never trade anything for them, second, is my friends, I love my friends but a step below from my family, main reason why is because certain friends comes and go, but there are handful of people that are close enough to be part of the family, like certain people do get in a personal level. The only thing that comes between my family and my friends are my pets, I like my pets more than my friends because you can say the most personal things and they don't talk back, they won't talk shit about you, they will love you no matter what.
So lets recap, in a nutshell, if you are not in my family or my friend, I will not give half a shit about you. Oh and one more thing, Its just a fucking game, nobodies forcing you to play it.
ok, I can't to see how many people I pissed off after this.
You are right. It's not real so who give a fuck? A game or movie can have the most horrible acts of violence but it's not real and no one is truly getting hurt so we shouldn't get upset. If you aren't strong enough to handle fake computer characters dying on a TV screen, stop playing the game and let others play it if they want to. This entire discussion shouldn't even exist. Everyone needs to open their eyes and understand that we are arguing over fake video game characters who were never "alive" in the first place.the7k wrote:No, they don't live.

What's more, why should I feel for any of these NPCs? Did you feel for any of the wooden targets you shot in Spec Ops? Did you feel for any of the masses of civies you killed in any given open-world game? Do you feel for any of the millions of people you've slaughtered who happened to have weapons?
I just don't see what is so totally different here. When people are encouraged to not kill defenseless people, they seem to take sick pleasure out of killing them. When people are encouraged, they're like "This is wrong!" So, killing all those scientists in Half-Life was right, then?
You sure to have a taste of the overtly melodramatic. I'm not even sure what point exactly you are trying to get across here.Inazuma wrote: You are right. It's not real so who give a fuck?

I just drew a picture of the planet Earth exploding and causing a massive black hole that erased the entire universe, killing everything in existence. Just imagine all of the fake people and animals and alien babies with broccoli for hands (very bright green colored broccoli, different from our planet's shade of green) that were killed. So horrible... Let's ban everything so no more fake people are harmed.
