hansolo77 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 I guess you guys really are "that much older" than me. I was born in 1980, so games like Sonic came out when I was 11. I was THE demographic. Games like Doom and Quake also came out when I was in my early teens, and they didn't really phase me. Mortal Kombat was the only game I can remember ever that gave me nightmares. And the nightmares only happened 1 night, and it was when I spent like 20 hours playing it with my friend during a sleep over.. I just dreamed that I was still playing, and that it was never-ending, and I kept playing the same moves over and over again. I don't really understand all the controversy with the violence, etc. When I played it, I knew it was just a game. I didn't run around trying to pull people's hearts out of their chests. Games now though are getting a bit too complex and real. With games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Grand Theft Auto..yeah I can see where we need to be more mindful of our kids. But like I said, back then I knew it was just a game.. now.. it's too realistic and the "veil" is very thin.. I think that's why I tend to play LEGO games, Pinball, and stuff like Final Fantasy. Wow, when did I turn into my parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
