I was on IGN.com's site and saw a video on Mortal Kombat's new "X-Ray Attack." In my opinion it looks cool but I feel it's too much. Here's the comment I left on their site. Tell me what do u think.
Y'Know, I've been playing video games before most of you were born..I think now video games have gotten a little out of hand with the graphic violence. I love the early Mortal Kombats. I remember when I 1st seen a character's heart pulled from his body or when a character's head with spine attatched pulled out..I thought, "Man! That was cool!" Now you've guys taken this violence to the next level. Honestly, I think it's too much. This type of graphic representation of violence is too much. Kid's are being desensitized (hope I spelled that correctly) by these types of games. It's not enough nowadays to simply defeat your opponent by knocking him/her out and blood spurt from body parts, Now you have "X-Ray Attack" which shows damage done to internal organs. Looks very cool but is this really neccessary? You people have to remember that children see and play these games (even though you have the "Mature" ratings) and constant exposure to this type of violence isn't good for kids. I can go on forever but I'll cut it short. Make a good fighting game but calm down with the extreme and gory violence. We don't need kids thinking this is a normal part of life.
I love video games but sometimes I think companies go too far. I'm not downing the game but I have strong feelings in regards to how graphically violent our games are becoming.
