bad videogame portrayal

Ok.. it's a video game.

There are lots of video games that involve shooting animals and people. Snakes included. One of my favorite games involves killing horses.. and I love horses. But I realize that it's a game, and I don't take it seriously.

Because I play a game, doesn't mean I'm going to go out and do that in real life. If anyone uses video games as a guidance, they shouldn't be allowed in public in the first place for lack of common sense. (Of course depending on the situation).

Agreed. It's just a game. Blaming video games for causing people to do harmful and violent things in real life is just that, a blame game. Anytime something bad happens people need something to blame. God forbid anyone take responsibility for their actions these days. If someone plays this hunting game and thinks it's OK to go out and harm snakes, or any animal, they obviously have psychological issues that were present long before ever playing a fictional game.

I'm very well capable of slaying zombies and villains in video games, and still be a responsible, well adjusted member of society. Though some may disagree with that last part. ;)

i think id rather play the ones you can shoot the humans instead of defensless animals lol. got to love gta, saints row and call of duty4 =) lol
