Yeah, so I know there is a thread about Bioshock, and I have read some of it, but can you actually murder the little girls in it?

It's not like I care, it's just that lately I have been saving up for a really nice laptop for college, that will hopefully be good enough to run that game. (one of the few games I intend on getting, I play very selected games)

But part of me is worried that Bioshock might be taken off the shelves before I get that laptop.

Just like that resistance for ps3, a bunch of religious sissy poops took that off the shelves because you fight part of it in a famous church or something (maybe it was the vatican?)

But anyways, does anyone else have this mild fear that Bioshock will be removed if you can kill the little girls?

Makes me want to reserve a copy now just incase, but at the same time, they might have special editions, and better copies without glitches in the future...
 
Considering the little girls are mutant weirdos who like to drink blood, I can't really see a problem. It's a bit different to a game where you would beable to kill an innocent girl in a school or something.
 
Yeah, I agree, but parents and Christians will see no difference
 
Remember the little baby things in Doom3?

I remember having no conventional ammo at that point, and had to chainsaw my way through a load of them. They might have been evil mutant babies, but all the way through, I was shaking my head saying "My god this is wrong".
 
Plus I don't think you kill them, in a graphic way, I remember reading that when you harvest the girls you don't actually see the event happen.

But they made horrible pant browning noises!. They were no more babies to me than a badger is friendly.
 
But if you have seen the Bioshock videos they aren't demon babies though, they look very human and when you approach them they scream and plead for their life after you killed the big daddy.
 
Hm, Have to see how I really feel when I get the game for 360, it depends alot on how convincing the game itself ends up being i guess, because it's all part of the illusion. If it's all very consistent throughout then things like the little girl pleading for mercy will probably creep me out.
 
Yes you can kill them but the deed itself is performed off screen.

what do you mean by harvest?
 
my god, did you all see the video of the :big daddy: stuffing his drill through your stomach when you grabbed the girl, SICK
 
No, he stuck the drill through the stomach, if he stuck it in the guys face you wouldn't hear "YE AHHHHHHHHHHH AHGAAHHHH!!"
 
well after that part, he drills your face off. Wait, more like he punches you on the face with the drill.
 
yeah, more of a punch, i am sure it would hurt either way

Have you never heard a real baby at close range? :P


If a game is rated appropriately it is no different to a DVD movie containing themes of violence and scenes of dead and injured kids. There is nothing forcing anyone to play a game if they feel uncomfortable, in the same way that there is nothing forcing people to watch violent films. The fact that a lot of people are uncomfortable with such content is just a healthy reaction that goes to prove that we are not all mindless psychopaths despite the rantings of critics.

Although we as gamers all know that there is no link between game violence and actual violent acts committed without an unstable mind in between, there is however a common sense issue that says putting this kind of content in front of an audience currently in shock at the abduction of say, Madeline Mccann, or individuals that may be suffering from the loss of a child, should be clearly warned of it's content on the box.

But this is the games industry, and i'll wager that there is no such warning, subtle though the actual act of child murder might be depicted.
 
Remember: It's a video game, Christians and Mothers, and Jack Thompson see it differently.
If it has babies, then it must be bad.
 
I have no clue what videos you guys are talking about...

who wants to share?!
 
Bioshock is going to be the best infanticide-sim in the history of necropedobestiality (aka 'gaming').
 
Ah, so this is why you all are so 'omfgrape' about this game.
 
It kind of sucks IMO, I get really easily attached to characters in games. Thats why I always choose the good path the first time I play. I don't think I will be able to kill her, I do hope there is an equal reward for not killing her, like instead of the adam you get an alliance with her of some sort, or you can use her tu lure big daddy's in to a trap.

In any case I want some small enemies that explode in bloody mess with one shotgun blast, making the girls more like Kirsten Dunst in Interview With a Vampire would make then perfect shotgun enemies.
 
Not killing them makes survival a tad harder, I'm not sure if theres any sort of reward for taking that path but there damn well should be. Gray I believe theres a power to make the Big Daddies think you are a little sister, hence you can lead them around.
 
I thank god every day that my overboard Christian dad never plays/watches me play video games.
 
Wow, some of you guys are bitches. Remember - it's a game. All this "I'll feel bad cause it's a little girl" shit makes you the same as Thompson saying just cause it has little girls in a game, it's bad. It's not real. I'll gladly cut off the heads of little girls for special powers.

In a game, of course.

Chainsaw is the best weapon against the legions of hell. Besides, kids are annoying! :laugh:

"parents and Christians will see no difference"

:E - Imagine... Christian parents! :eek: (I was gonna use the devil smiley, but that seems inherently wrong when referring to Christians! :D )

Games that give you the opportunity to challenge or reaffirm your own morals are good. Generally, games where your decisions matter are. I mean, if there wasn't a savegame feature in Doom 3 and I was to choose only one of these two options: 1 - Alert the fleet to get help. 2 - Avoid sending the fleet as they would enable the demons to attack Earth, I really would have worried and wondered myself almost literally into hell over if I made the right choice, and when it comes to something as to what to do with a little girl, well, yeah.

To be honest, I don't think Bioshock will encounter that much resistance. If anything, Doom 3 should have been the catalyst for Christian rage, and it wasn't. Well, only partly.




I like Doom 3.

It was the Manchester Cathedral.

The church wanted royalties for the church being featured in the game, and the local Manchester population wanted the game taking off the shelves, because it featured shooting in Manchester, even though the game was about shooting non-human creatures and not about gun crime (which is why Manchester will always be the shittiest place to live in the UK)
 
Imagine how you could annoy the locals. Drag your PS3 out to the street, the cord going in through the window, get your screen, etc, and start playing. When anyone comes close, publically proclaim that you are as of this moment playing "Resistance" which features the Manchester church and is set in Manchester! :P

Leave them alone, they play games differently than you. I, much like them, like to really get into the game, when I play Bioshock I will put myself in the mindset that I am actually in this situation, and what I personally would do.

At first I am going to try and not kill the little girls. But if push comes to shove, I will.

It adds a good realistic feel when you take true mercy into a game like Bioshock, it's not some doom game.
 
I like to put myself in the feet of my character. And being the no-good rotten goody-two-shoes I am, I'll leave the Little Sisters and Big Daddies alone so long as they leave me alone.

Well, I might try and bait some foes into attacking a Big Daddy, but they can take 'em. Might depending on if they come after me for doing this. :P
 
Forget the little girls, just wait till a real life case of a murder being comitted with a flaming hat happens somewhere in Middle America. Jack Thompson will launch into a rant about how Bioshock is a "flaming hat murder simulator."
 
I'm blaming the failure of my underwater utopia on 2K games.

Wouldn't you us them to your advantage to survive?

Nope. There are way to survive that don't involve murdering little girls. And since the videos mention that you can take advantage of Rapture's citizens to survive or become their savior, I figure there's a bonus to being a nice guy, even if it's late in coming compared to the immediate bonus of having super-powers.

Besides, I'd rather not have a drill put through my chest.

These are not your normal little girls though.

Of course not. They're the victims of a society gone mad. As such I feel even less compelled to harm them.
