I have watched the clip of No Russian and I'd like to say that I stand firmly with billcollins531. I was appalled to see that people would go as far as to create a situation like that in a video game with you-the-player killing innocent bystanders as a mission. I was once told by someone that my singing "The Love Boat" at Carowinds during a kiddie ride I operated "was disturbing," but this type of terror in a video game is okay? What's next? An Uzi in full operation at an elementary school during recess?
In a world such as this, where mental illness cases have reached staggering, record breaking numbers in far too many young people, it's these type of video games that feed and encourage those individuals to commit these very acts. You can say "It's just a video game," but games are supposed to be entertaining. These types of scenes and missions are not, and I am 100% all for censoring these types of materials. Some things - so close to reality - should not be made!
I got into it with a man who made a harsh comment about 9-11, who shared the same type of mentality for violence. He stated, "Charlotte, NC needs something like that to happen to it." My firm reply, "Maybe you'll have the privilege of being inside the building if it happens!"
