Says GamesBeat writer Jason Lomberg: I'm not a member of the NRA. But if I were, I'd cancel my membership immediately. Violent games are not to blame for the Newton tragedy, and they won't make anyone more proficient with firearms.
Get the scoop on Comedy Central's exciting new cartoon show inspired by the iconic Golden Axe video game
Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.
GB: "With this feature, we will be taking a look at 15 of the best games from the PlayStation 2's vast library."
With so many games fighting for players' attention and interest losing out over time, time sink games are at risk of eventually losing steam.
It was worrisome to begin with.
It's a niche genre with only a handful of hits that can stand the test of time.
Only a few will catch on. You need a perfect storm to be successful in GaaS and a bit of luck on top of that. But a potential cash cow will keep them trying and some will go out of business because of it.
Helldivers 2 manages just fine…
Keep production costs low… don’t just make custscenes until the mechanics and enemies are perfected first.
Make so much content that you can drip extra content for years, and the game already feels complete without them.
Most importantly: make weapons, enemies, levels, and mechanics that will stand the test of 1000 hours. This might require more devs embracing procedurally generated leveled, which I think separates Helldivers 2 from Destiny’s repetitiveness.
i approve this
If anything if there were no violent games then people would probably commit more crimes. Theres times when people get angry and do stupid things they later regret. Sitting down and playing a game be it violent or not is a great way to let out some steam.
I agree with the author, with his point of weapon proficiency, not translating through normal video games. However the military's around the world have been using video games to train situational awareness, tactics, and in some more advance simulators even heavy weapons. Now while I agree the games most of us play currently are out of scope with the military, the NRA has a partially valid point.

If violent video games are to blame for gun crimes then guns are to blame for violent video games.
NRA isn't to blame either. Stop acting like there is a problem with gun control. Criminals will get guns illegally. They aren't going into a gun shop applying for a license and buying a gun or getting denied and saying "oh well, harming people is wrong anyway".
