Now that's how you create a serial killer! Good going dad.

pwnsause5959d ago

good call, thats how serial killers start, they suffer from a traumatic illness such as taking a beating from a parent. seriously, no joke, go up to a serial killer and ask him.

JsonHenry5958d ago

Maybe next time he will listen when his dad tells him to get off the game!

MailMan5958d ago

Jealous on the fact that his son can play on his AWESOME videogame for more than an HOUR without needing to reach for the nearest WET TOWEL

Jump OUT and Play B3YOND,January 28th=DOOMSDAY for Xbots.

gamesR4fun5958d ago (Edited 5958d ago )

this has nothing to do with any stupid console war... kinda sic that you need to put that out there.

Really hope these kids never have to go back parents who abuse their kids dont deserve them and ones that go this far should be castrated if not shot.

edit is it me or do we have some pretty immature kids posting today?

mikeslemonade5958d ago

Gamesr4fun, you just made mailman's comment even more funny. You're like WTF.

Panthers5958d ago

Guess parenting is up to the parents, but some people need to lighten up. If you cant get your kids to do things with out beating them, then you failed as a parent.

Daishi5958d ago

@ Jsonhenry
That's why MS came up with the Family Timer! Sorry this isn't funny by any means but Json's comment made me laugh so I have to give him props. Spread the laughter not the tears.

MadMax5958d ago

Yea no doubt, nice going dad. Someone needs to rip that son of a b@tchs balls off. Show him how it feels. Oh yea and as for u JsonHenry i wish u were in front of me when u made that comment so i could smash ur face in and stick my steel toe boot up ur @ss. You scumbag piece of sh@t. Sounds like ur parents raised a worthless maggot. Same goes for u too Mailman. Someone needs to teach the two of u a lesson. Its not a joke, thats beyond f@cked up. Its too bad it didnt happen to the pair of you instead. JsonHenry i saved ur picture so i know what u look like man if i ever catch u on the street. Im gonna post ur pic up on some gay sites as well and do some nice things with it. Youre gettin terrorized from this day forth.

I love these religious people.

On the path of God, sometimes your take a beating.

On the path of the Devil, it's a carefree life.

LeonSKennedy4Life5958d ago

Until you die.

You'll care a LOT!

Leathersoup5958d ago

Religion is such a symbol of the want to be blind of what's actually occurring in the world. My favorite ironic comment in the bible refers to the "Blind leading the blind". :)

The Killer5958d ago

Islam and quran is meant to be the guide of the humans(not only arabs) to live the perfect way or the best way possible with each other with all races, it brings peace to those who follow it correctly.

God knows humans more than humans know their selfs and i dont think someone that believe in god will argue about this, so dont u think that god gave us the best rules in his Real books on how we should live our life's? or is it that humans dont want anyone to tell them what to do? those who dont follow god and his path will have difficulties in life, like wars, crimes, being evil,being bad, being not helpful to others being selfish etc the real islam is a religioun of peace but also gives us the right to fight back those who fight us unlike Christianity which says "if ur enemy slaps u then give his the other cheek" which no christian ever do it or even believe in it. u see i dont want to heart feelings but i know i might but there is no avoiding it the bible is a book from god but the problem with it that it has been changed from the original book that god send us all humans and that is why send us the quran as the final book and was protected from any changes and its the only book on earth that has god words(i mean all the book is from god directly) and it was arabic language the chosen language for this book,and dont ask me why but maybe because of its richness in expressing everything. and islam can leave peacefully with other religious but unfortunately some people like to use islam and abuse it and make it a reason to kill and to achieve their goals and it happened with all religions. final words dont judge religion based on how whose who practice it, judge it after u read and study it!

on topic beating up children from parents should be for good reason and only after the parents tries all methods to listen to them!

Pain5958d ago

Prove it..

untill u can.. ima go back and play games.

This is one of the many reasons why I am an Atheist. People hurting others because they say that someone is possessed and anything along those lines.

Whats worse it is in the UK.

Daishi5958d ago

I doubt "religion" makes him beat his kids. The same way "violent" video games make people into killers. It's just an excuse to do whatever the heck you feel like doing and justifying it. And more towards my last statement as to why your an atheist as well. People love justification but who are you justifying yourself to?

MadMax5958d ago

Its people like you that need to be removed off the face of the earth u maggot and JsonHenry who likes pole smokin.

Kakkoii5959d ago (Edited 5959d ago )

This is a sad story. That is probably going to scar those poor kids minds for life.

I'm an atheist to Lucreto. One of the main reasons I'm Atheist is because. Why should I pick a religion? When there are so many different ones out there? Who am I to say which one is the TRUE religion? No one can say which is true.

Which is why it is BEST for everyone to just live a good life. And if there truly is some sort of god. Then he will accept you for living a good life.

And if there isn't. You may have to come to terms with the fact that people just.. Die. Like animals. It's hard to believe that you won't have that sense of consciousness anymore and just be gone. It's human nature. Religion was created as an explanation for the unexplainable. "But in reality, The unexplainable can't be explained. Until that unexplainable happens."

So just live a good life everyone and don't worry about what's after death. Whether it be a heaven or hell, Some sort of ascension or reincarnation, or just pure death.

Just wait and see and enjoy life :).

Lucreto5958d ago

Yes you are right we should enjoy life. I enjoy gaming which others think I am wasting my life.

Those are the same question I ask and the comprehension of death that we just disappear some don't like the idea.

So we should anyways look on the bright side of life.

Yep.

"Whatever makes you happy in life, is a good life, unless that happiness is brought upon by inflicting sadness on others."

WilliamRLBaker5958d ago (Edited 5958d ago )

pretty much 100% of every thing that makes you happy...brings unhappiness to someone else in some form or another, the money you make is money others do not have...ect

Kakkoii5958d ago (Edited 5958d ago )

I guess in a sense your right. But that's really only on the money part.

But the fact that you can afford a video game, and another person can't. Isn't YOUR fault. It's either there fault or some other persons fault that put them in that situation.

One sad reality about the world is. Not everyone can be middle class. Because there just isn't enough homes and money and jobs to go around for the mass population we have. Many people HAVE to be homeless..And have to be poor.

It's sad =/.

"The day we have robots doing all our work jobs for us. Is when poverty will be truly gone. Robots would built wind turbines and other sources of power. And thus there would be enough electricity for them to be self sufficient. We would live in a utopia :).
Ah what I would give to live 200 or 300 years in the future.

xionpunk5958d ago

But what if not choosing anything is a choice in it self?

Kakkoii5958d ago

2 wrongs don't make a right.

By saying not choosing, is choosing.. In itself defies the words "Not Choosing".

But if that's how you feel.

Then I CHOOSE, NOT TO CHOOSE. :).

Better?

Two Decades Later, the Original Splinter Cell is Still a Masterpiece

They don't make games like this anymore.

vgvill3d ago

Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.

Jingsing3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.

TheProfessional3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.

rlow13d ago

I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.

vgvill2d ago

They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.

PrecursorOrb2d ago

Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company

Chocoburger2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.

Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.

anast8d ago

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Garethvk8d ago

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

anast8d ago

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk8d ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

1nsomniac8d ago

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

Garethvk8d ago

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
