So if you haven't heard or didn't know, Call of Duty Black Ops came out yesterday. This was something Danny wanted, badly. We would see the commercials for it and he would absolutely go nuts. So I pre-ordered it for his late birthday present. Not sure why because I lose my boyfriend to this game but I did it because I am nice and knew he wanted it. (: Well it arrived in the mail yesterday. After sushi we came home and he wasn't sure if he wanted to play it because then he would want to stay up all night and beat it. But I told him that I wanted to watch him play it. Which never happens! I always leave the room when he plays it, and now I remember why. I have never been so disappointed.. so sick to my stomach, so angry. I thought maybe this was just my opinion because I am a typical girl. I hate gory things, I hate violence, I hate hurting someone. After watching Danny play for a few minutes I tell him to pause it. He does, I look at him and say, "If we had kids, you would not be playing this!" He replied, "Oh, I know!" So I was happy that he agreed with how horrible this game really is. I feel like a nagging mom. But how could I not? I am very mature and grown up and I don't think this game benefits anyone in anyway. It scares me that kids around the world have this game and play it on a regular basis. It also scares me that when I have my own kids, video games will be even more advanced and gory. I will admit that this game looks and feels amazingly real. It feels like you are in the game. But after watching Danny beat a few levels, I was mad and disgusted. People are beating the crap out of people with sticks, you watch bullets go through people's head, you watch people's head's get blown off, you hear people screaming til they die. I am actually mad at myself for ordering that game. I can't watch Danny play it anymore. Maybe I am just a baby. Cause I am sure a lot of people say "It's just a game" but how is it just a game when it looks so real. I wanted to blog about this mainly because I want people to see how horrible it really is. If you ever get the chance to watch someone play, I suggest you do because that is the only way you will see my side. I wonder too if anyone else feels this way? Thanks for listening. (:

I can't say I know exactly what your talking about because luckily Braxton hasn't gotten into this game, but he does play other war games that are way scary! They are gory and way disturbing, and it's even more scary to think that kids out there have played those games and that influences them to go out and do violent things! My kids will definitely NOT be playing those games!
ReplyDeleteSo I think your totally justified in feeling this way! (:
It is real life. You hear about people being shot, kidnapped and rape all the time. I used to love scary movies as a teenager but there is too much murder and hate in the world, that the movies become real. I'm done with all of that. Give me Mamma Mia and Little People Big World anyday !!!! ha ha
ReplyDeleteMy fiance plays this game ALL the time, he pre-ordered it also. When he walked in the door with it I knew it would be a LONG night. I'm so glad my little Evan is only 6 months old and doesn't understand it or know what it is. My fiance is not allowed to play it when Evan is around either...what happened to disney channel being cool lol :) At least its not scary!
