Forget Shock Treatment: Violent Video Games Can Increase Tolerance For Pain

New research from Keele University suggests that playing violent, first person shooter video games can increase one's tolerance for pain.

If true, this would certainly explain why I could take a beating in school when I never really did anything else to increase my tolerance for pain.

Whoa, just think about this for a minute: If you played nothing but violent video games in a long marathon (with food, drink, and enough sleep to survive) for, say, five years while doing almost nothing else... They could throw your ass in the military, give me a chaingun, tell you to talk like a Russian... and you could be tanking it up like the Heavy from TF2.
...
or not. Probably not.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5073d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905073d ago (Edited 5073d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5073d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5073d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495072d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5072d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5072d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
