@believer258: sorry to hear about the kindle ;)
I'm not saying over powered violence is fun. I find Saints Row 3 amazing and looking forward to Saints Row 4, but they add humour to it, it makes fun of how serious its meant to be.
I'm not saying Violence isn't fun. The point i'm trying to make is that yes there is violence in games, yes sometimes its funny, sometimes is too much, sometimes it doesn't fit. The original point of the article was to say, to those who complain about violence (and i do realise i have my own issues with it but i think thats to do more with the games not the content) it comes down to whether you choose to do it.
People who say this is disgusting, well if you played games like Dishonored (as thats an example we may as well just keep using) and you don't choose something else then its your fault. My point was it comes down to whether you choose to mimic on the rails player agency where you HAVE to kill everyone, or you decide to fully play the game. Explore it and change the way you'd play most games, because otherwise surely you're just mainly playing for violence, and in a medium that allows so much that just seems shallow.
