I'm sorry, but a couple guys in lab coats that may or may not have phDs saying they know shit isn't going to cut it in this day and age, as people are a lot wiser to this stuff. Plus for every bit of research that tries to connect violence to videogames, there are 10 that disprove or show that it's more beneficial than bad.

	--- Quote: Blacklightning Nov 14 2011, 02:48 AM I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms. But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit. game - gun = gay game + gun = -gay game + gun + Arem = ??? Founder of #TeamArem

Fabulous Homosexual Posts: 6,262 Group: Elite Member #59 Joined: November 9, 2009	True enough. With something like this, they really should have repeated this experiment with increasing numbers of subjects and their diversity. 100 is good for a preliminary result, but it can't end there.

Fabulous Homosexual Posts: 6,262 Group: Elite Member #59 Joined: November 9, 2009	See, I'm to the point where Capcom will do anything to fuck up their franchises. Let's just say I'm GLAD I got fooled.

The Winds of Change Posts: 1,254 Group: Elite Member #11 Joined: March 7, 2007	Granted, it's more satirical than anything, but it points out a lot of the idiocies involved with Capcom and Ninja Theory. "Well, let's just reboot the whole series and change absolutely everything except the most basic pieces, like names and main enemies!" "We can manage 60 FPS! But let's drop it to 30 and lock it there!" "Players relied too much on guns in DMC! Let's make it so that they have to deal with a cooldown on their guns!" ad naseum

Fabulous Homosexual Posts: 6,262 Group: Elite Member #59 Joined: November 9, 2009	Wait, they have gun cooldown in the new DmC? [withers away.]
