If you kill somebody becuase of what you see on FF7 then you have problemsnondisclosed_email@example.com (Velocity Eleven)Mon, 25 Jun 2007 16:56:23 +0000 Re: 'Sephiroth' and 'Reno' Arrestedhttps://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289362,from=rss#post289362https://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289362,from=rss#post289362Its nothing new as FMF said. It used to movies. Then Metal, and Rap now its video games. It seems the biggest complaint people have about video games is that its interactive, so it promotes violent behaviors more because people are preforming them. I can maybe understand the logic in this argument when it comes to an overly violent FPS, but not FF7. Its not a very violent game...sure people die, but people die in lots of things such as real life. Theres nothing in FF7 or most games that promotes the "lets go kill people" idea. If some one decides to go kill someone, its not the video games fault, the person had some serious issues before hand. People will continue to blame whatever is the most dominate form of media among young adults for violent acts the vast minority of young adults perpetrate. This is nothing new, and it'll never go away. Eventually our generation will become the ones in power, and perhaps it will move off blaming video games for this, and blame some other form of media (more likely than not, the newest thing gaining popularity quickly). But people are never going to blame the ones actually at fault. The people around these kids, no one ever noticed they had issues? Where were their parents when they planned this? There are signs, I mean some one does not randomly decide "hmm I'm gonna go kill a couple of people and hold a friend hostage. Yay! what a fun afternoon that'll be." Unless their schizophrenic...but that falls under they have serious mental issues. nondisclosed_email@example.com (fantasyturtle8187)Fri, 16 Feb 2007 02:58:03 +0000 Re: 'Sephiroth' and 'Reno' Arrestedhttps://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289356,from=rss#post289356https://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289356,from=rss#post289356No they didn't, that was a stupid prank pulled by some guys who hated FF7nondisclosed_email@example.com (FinalMasamuneFantasy)Fri, 16 Feb 2007 01:01:09 +0000 Re: 'Sephiroth' and 'Reno' Arrestedhttps://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289327,from=rss#post289327https://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289327,from=rss#post289327*Sigh* Stupid kids... I hate seeing stuff like this happen, it's one thing when it happens with a music scene, thats been going on for years now, but when it starts happening in the gaming community its terrible which makes me wonder, is it true that they discontinued FFVII in the U.S.?nondisclosed_email@example.com (Amarus)Thu, 15 Feb 2007 13:41:50 +0000 Re: 'Sephiroth' and 'Reno' Arrestedhttps://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289326,from=rss#post289326https://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289326,from=rss#post289326^ Exactly +1 Karma for everyone in this topic. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Zeen)Thu, 15 Feb 2007 13:37:17 +0000 Re: 'Sephiroth' and 'Reno' Arrestedhttps://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289318,from=rss#post289318https://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289318,from=rss#post289318Hmm I never thought about it that way but most rpg's usually promote heroism and other good qualities. Even many FPS's pit the player against some sort of evil which they must defeat. Anyway its quite idiotic to blame what people do on games. I could just as easily blame violent movies or television. The only reason these people complain about violence in games is because they wanna push their own agenda. I mean I can see some games being violent but FF7 isn't really an example of that in my opinion. Sure there is fighting and such but it is never graphically displayed as it would be in others. Its really just a sad excuse some people try to use in order to cover up other flaws such as bad parenting and other things. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Grenseal)Thu, 15 Feb 2007 03:24:07 +0000 Re: 'Sephiroth' and 'Reno' Arrestedhttps://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289310,from=rss#post289310https://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289310,from=rss#post289310Well environmentalism means work towards protecting the environment. And the game is about helping to save the world from the evil corporation Shinra from sucking up the planet's energy, so basically saving the environment in which they're in. The person your talking to should play the game and maybe they'd understand. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Zeen)Wed, 14 Feb 2007 22:48:24 +0000 Re: 'Sephiroth' and 'Reno' Arrestedhttps://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289304,from=rss#post289304https://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289304,from=rss#post289304 Exactly! :up:   Though i was telling someone about this just now and they looked really bemused when i started telling them about the Shinra/planet/avalanche story because they didn't understand how the enviromentalism bit was in the game. Think it just needs clearing up that there was nothing wrong with the game in the first place, it was the two teenagers. They just happened to use those alias' that linked them to the game. Had no connection to the murders.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Kribblick Rat)Wed, 14 Feb 2007 21:01:10 +0000 Re: 'Sephiroth' and 'Reno' Arrestedhttps://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289302,from=rss#post289302https://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289302,from=rss#post289302quote:Kribblick Rat wrote:  They didn't stab the people with the disks, did they? No, so don't pin the blame on the game. Even if they did, blaming whats ON the disc is stupid! If I took a box and whacked it over someone head, would they blame the contents of the box too? Read on another site, and I am in full agreement with it. That this game promotes more environmentalism, heroism, and self-confidence than anything voilent.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Zeen)Wed, 14 Feb 2007 20:28:12 +0000 Re: 'Sephiroth' and 'Reno' Arrestedhttps://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289285,from=rss#post289285https://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289285,from=rss#post289285 FmF hit the nail on the head, people kill people. They didn't stab the people with the disks, did they? No, so don't pin the blame on the game. The game's hardly a murder weapon. Its the person(s) who did the crime you should be worried about. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Kribblick Rat)Wed, 14 Feb 2007 09:05:31 +0000 Re: 'Sephiroth' and 'Reno' Arrestedhttps://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289270,from=rss#post289270https://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289270,from=rss#post289270Yeah exactly, millions of people have played FF7 and its been out for like 10 years. Then something like this happens once and its labelled "Killer game"? People always like to blame the media for wrong doings.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Zeen)Wed, 14 Feb 2007 00:31:27 +0000 Re: 'Sephiroth' and 'Reno' Arrestedhttps://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289269,from=rss#post289269https://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289269,from=rss#post289269Honestly, this has been an issue since the early 90's when Mortal Kombat first came out to arcade. People would try the violent actions in the game, and the game would be to blame. Now, we have a game that's been out since the mid 90's, suddenly being labeled a 'killer game' because two pricks wanted to use code names to comit crimes? Give me a fucking break. The media, and people in general need to grow the fuck and up realize that video games dont kill people, people kill people. I mean seriously, are they going to add something new to the autopsy, "Death by Video Gamer"nondisclosed_email@example.com (FinalMasamuneFantasy)Wed, 14 Feb 2007 00:27:54 +0000 'Sephiroth' and 'Reno' Arrestedhttps://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289266,from=rss#post289266https://bffdreamsforums.runboard.com/p289266,from=rss#post289266This is sad, read: http://uk.ps2.ign.com/articles/755/755900p1.html I hate how people love to pick the blame on video games after something like this happens, its not the game's fault two teenagers were stupid enough to do something like this. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Zeen)Tue, 13 Feb 2007 23:12:38 +0000
