Im not contradicting, I said it might put some people off, some people wont play video games often, the grab a title or two every 2 or 3 years and try it out.
the post you talk about was about the fact that children are not a large demographic group in divinity sales. while in the last one im just stating how children are easily influenced. how can these two contradict each other ?
and what do you mean by "again" ? when did i contradict myself ? if you mean "that" post, the reason was that i sounded a bit like a douch, so i took back what i said just to prevent being what i hate the most, but in essence i did not lie. i believe i did give you the sources for it.
but enough of that, tell me, would the game be better if it had the same amount of content richness as divine divinity ? i mean with the blood and the sex and the . . . etc . . . ?
Your'e right, it wasn't a contradiction as much as misunderstanding on my part. My apologies.
Romance/sex part, yes, blood part wouldn't influence much - even bodies dissapear after killing an enemy, so why should blood stay?
Who said this person was religious? Violence is different from nudity. It doesn't give lustful thoughts to children. Also, I'm pretty sure Christianity, Islam and Judaism shall continue on forever. Leave your anti religious beliefs of off the game forums please.
You know, some kinds of reasonings can give us an insight about who the person is, as some things are done or said by certain kinds of people. If you saw a man dressed in pink wearing a lipstick, wouldn't the first thing you think about him be "he's one of those flamboyant girly gays"? While it may not be true 100% times (who knows, maybe the guy lost a bet, or he just likes dressing like that), usually it is. He didn't disprove my "you're religious!" theory with "no, I'm an atheist" - I was correct, wasn't I?
I can say being 75% sure you're catholic (25% odds for Islam/Jew), who probably haven't read the bible even once - just like my parents did... And because of that you don't really know that your god isn't really a god of mercy, he's cruel and disgusting, far worse even than Hitler, Stalin and all the evil people included - at least nazi leader doesn't want to make anyone suffer forever for petty "crimes" (which aren't really crimes) such as masturbation, homosexualism, bad thoughts, not believing in his petty story with no proof and contradictions on lot of pages, etcetera.
Of course violence is different. Violence is full of bad things, and there's no bad things about sex/porn if you do everything right. If you prefer children to watch a man being torn in half by giantic saw, screaming as his intestines drop on the floor than to let them watch some porn, I say you're a sick person.
Lustful thoughts to children? And who says lustful thoughts are bad? Unless you're a psycho, it won't affect you in bad way - and if you're a psycho, then violent movies would affect you even worse. People get excited, people should... let themselves ease. Why not? It even helps with your health (you lose calories = you won't get fat = you are less prone to the heart diseases and mass of other sicknesses!), and I heard about other health merits of masturbation/sex.
So why exactly lust is bad? No, "god said so" won't work. No, "many peepls are slaves fer porn industry!" won't work, since some people just WANT to be watched and upload their videos for free/petty money, or they are professionals and probably live in villas for their effort... Etcetera
I saw headless corpses in Divinity II, I saw burning corpses, I saw body parts ripped up and I saw dragons that when killed - unleashed blood and bones. Having an ability to turn blood on or off doesn't sound too bad.
I remember seeing slight blood falling from the enemy as I attacked them and I wouldn't mind more and I wouldn't mind if it stayed the way it was. Honestly though, in a game that isn't scared to show decapitated bodies, more blood could have been included and it would have actually given you the sense of victory after you performed a rather gory finishing move on an enemy.
Agreed, but it would still take budget that was needed much more in other areas.
