Do violent games cause attitude problems?

[Ricemarine]

Do violent games such as counterstrike and halo cause attitude problems? I know it's very vague, so bear with me... It's hard to explain, but if you understand, please go ahead and answer.

I will fscking kill you.


Seriously though, I don't think so. I'm not especially violent and I've been playing violent games for years.

gahh!! i'm gonna rip your arms out!

Sure I get pissed off in Battlefield 2 sometimes when bastards take my planes, but I don't take it out on people in real life. The worst I'd do is TK them in-game.

Only if you don't discipline your kids properly.

I like it when I get TKed for a plane and then the guy crashes it into the ocean or on the runway.

no, but drugs do.
watch out!

you only have an attitude problem if you are a bad gamer or are seriously deficient at life. it has nothing to do with the game, really.

 

[godmare]

counterstrike tends to sour my attitude, but that's probably because I get schooled by thirteen year olds.

No just the outrageous prices charged for them causes unrest.

I say, to a degree, yes.
Someone have the link to that vid. of that kid playing Halo in his room?

lol, at least they aren't as bad as they were from 1993 to about 1997. A new first person shooter would cost $80 and one a couple of years old was $50.

Only if you are 12

I call shens.

There's no way he would record himself like that.

Maybe for some individuals. I think if you were raised to learn the difference between games and reality, playing violent games wouldn't make a difference.

It probably is Shens but it's still funny as hell. I grew up with a kid like that. We'd play Super Mario Bros. on NES and this kid would get so rattled every time he died he'd hurl the joypad at the tv or overturn a coffeetable. Everytime. And that was only Mario.

I am going to get GTA style on you!

 

[lobadobadingdong]

Think of it this way, If Pacman effected us as kids we'd all be running around in darkened rooms listening to repetative music while muching on candy........so I guess that's a yes?

it's the combination of immaturity and competitiveness. I've played both cs and halo for awhile, and not winning = getting pissed off. It's like any other sport, only you can't slap them through their IP address if they start bitching too much.

I've seen worse. I played Halo 2 on xbl for a long time, with MLG players, and you wouldn't believe how pissed off some of the top players get. I got pretty damn good, even with a sucky connection, then got a T3 connection -----> major pwnage of the nubs. But Halo 2 = too much auto-aim.
