    No, no. It's a horrible idea and here's why:
    Having so much gore without any context will:
    Damage the idea that video games are an art form.
    Make people blame video games for all the world's ills.
    Make the government take legal action and suppress video game creativity by restricting the amount of violence allowed.

    We need games that tell a story well by tying it into good gameplay mechanics and a visually immersive world, not some piece of garbage create for the sole purpose of getting in the papers. Games are perfectly capable of evoking feeling, you don't need an obscene amount of senseless violence to do that.

    In Assassin's Creed II you see your little brother hanged in front of you, in GTA V you torture a man who very probably doesn't deserve it, in Red Dead Redemption (the ending). Plenty of games have powerful emotional moments and none of them rely on senseless violence to do it. Making a game like that would do nothing but hurt the industry.

    No, Flappy Birds is a horrible game. There's nothing original about it.

    Loss and destruction for no reason is the most powerful artistic statement one can make.

    There's a difference between a pointless destructive conflict scenario and just "kill stuff".

    Any product that has to appeal to the sex drive is probably crap. If you have to capitalize on the second most basic human instinct, then your product is clearly incapable of enticing customers in any other way, it's an act of desperation.

    Not necessarily, It`s just stratigic advertising. Like, u dont wanna have some fat lady trying to sale ur very sex panty`s, Right. You wanna have a sex young lady. That`s appealing to the majorety of the people.
    Does not mean that the panty`s are ****. Just mean`s u like what sale`s

    Opinions is great:D Just saying

    I'm going to be facetious and hope we're still on about video games.

    Because sexy lingerie definitely has my interest when my better half purchases it :D

    Yes necessarily. Sexy underwear has nothing going for it except being sexy.
    Meanwhile, any other quality product doesn't need to have some random anorexic model skipping around wearing next to nothing to convince people to buy it. If you have a good product, it's good for a reason and you'll want to capitalize on that. If your product is poor quality, you'll want to mask that, make people focus on other things, and what better way is there than appealing to the second-most powerful human instinct?

    You`re misunderstanding. Im talking about healthy womans, nice ***, perfect tits, long leg`s, amazing eyes, smile hair and soo on. not some peacock anorexic model skipping around.
    You coulde allmost put that next too anything and it woulde just sale.
    second-most powerful human instinct? What`s the first?

    Survival silly. Sure, you could put a physically attractive model next to anything and it will sell. But what's that got to do with the product? If there's models sliding all over the car in the ad, what is it that you're not telling me? What are you trying to hide? Having "sexy" advertising for a product not actually related to sex is cheap and sleazy. If it's a good car just tell me it's a good car, you don't need pole dancers on top of it for that.

    In the end, the product is the same, just different people trying to sell it.

    As far as survival go`s that`s long ago and noone want`s to buy a product that says" buy this and survive"Noone want`s to be reminded that u need to buy this inorder to survive. I dont buy food because i need to survive, rather it`s good.
    They want to relate that thing to a good feeling.
    If it`s a car i cant just say it`s good, buy it. everyone know`s that a car is good no matter were u buy it.

    I guess what im trying to tell u is it`s a new world. u cant trust old fasihon.
