So i've been playing SF4 since wensday, Ive havent won that many matches for the reason that PEOPLE HAVE LEARNED HOW TO BE CHEAP i give you an example of a player hitting you down to the ground, you trying to get back up (Fast or slow dosent matter) Only to be hit by a Hurricane and once again Rince and Repeat really.

Im on the edge of not being able to play the online because of these people, the people that i've seen that are actually good at this game do not do these things and i would like your opinnion that is it only me that is seeing this? Or do you think im a crazy person and that SF4 isnt even a bit cheap.

Or you think that their are some cheap moves in the game and that people will continue to win by being cheap.

So I must be the only one but it seems with every last boss i fight they just seem to be...reallly....reallllyyyy...FRUSTERATING, even on medium he is just such a beast once you get to round 2....any tips on how not be so mad?

"Of course not. If violence was more important than gameplay, then wouldn't Manhunt be a considerably more respected game than Portal? Violence is just satisfying a demographic, and (for better or worse) that demographic is pretty big right now."

Yes and puzzle is a fantastic game in its own case, but when I go over to a buddies house and ask what game to play it usually ends up as Halo or Gears of War, not saying though that we haven't played portal its just that we needed a multiplayer game to focus on and in which cases we wanted to be able to do some bad things."

So you were playing Halo and Gears of War for the necessity of mulitplayer. You're question was "Is Violence one of the most important things in a video game?" and the answer is no, otherwise Portal would never have gotten popular. Violence is not necessary to make a great game, but violence is popular right now."

If you stressed out most teenagers probably resort to video games as the scape goat as you said since teenagers seem to always try to handle a situation by themselves. But if your stressed and being bullied and start playing a violent video game would that not in fact give thought on how to act on that problem?

Also the parents would be the ones to blame for allowing their children to buy M rated games in the first place, although depending on the game like lair or so i don't see how even children cant tell the different between dragons flying down and eating people that is almost common history.

Well then when would it be able to come to and end? People need to begin to realise what their children might be playing in some games.

However it is true that games should be noted first and foremost as just fantasy that we use to have fun, i just dont like watching children you know go up to their parents and showing them how they can cut some guys head of in like Ninja Gaiden perhaps.

"

Well that doesn't happen. those kids you see getting into trouble on the news they had bigger problems before they played the games. They just decide to blame their problems on the game or when authorities inspected their houses and automatically put the blame on violent video games they went with it. I feel that you need to give kids more credit."

"The violence doesn't need to be graphic, but for most games it is necessary. Gameplay has always been based around some time of combat. Shoot this.... jump on this... fight this boss etc. Other than driving games and some sports games, games generally put a goal in front of you and a bunch of enemies you need to fight. The goal being beating the game, collecting the next item or whatever. There are other important aspects to a game such as controls, immersiveness, graphical and sound quality but most game genres can't exist without some sort of violence."

Yea but its also in the case on how much more we could do with graphics other then make better hardware that is avalible on the platforms, graphics are already pretty much at their prime when it comes to some games and now its just polishing that needs to be looked on before retailing the video game.

Yea and thats the argument should we allow our children to be playing games like Gears of War or even Halo for that matter if they contain chainsaws and swords? Lol i woulden't want to be hit over the head with a shovel from a child to see if candy comes out.
