[quote]Since it's release in September of last year, the video game Destiny, Bungie's newest venture, has been extremely popular with people of all ages. Is this coincidence, a smash hit, or something more sinister from the legendary game designers?[/quote]
Skipping the boring part of the article and getting straight to the meat of it:
[quote]Perhaps Bungie's commercial success with the legendary Halo franchise has made them desperate to build up a larger and more dedicated fan base than newer rival 343 Industries, the part of the company that stayed with Microsoft, and the legendary franchise. This may have led to the questionable decisions by Bungie on gameplay and storyline that are affecting the unusually young audience (Brought in by the game's "Teen" rating from the ESRB) in a detrimental way, beyond the evils of a regular first person shooter.
The first way in which Destiny corrupts the youth of America is through the very idea of the main character, a member of an army blindly following a masked man called "The Speaker." Anyone who considers this at all sees the obvious real life parallel: Kim Jong Un and North Korea. This game teaches these young people to blindly follow a leader, possibly weakening their minds to North Korean propaganda.
A second risk caused by this game is an increase in suicide. In the game, a popular strategy is called "Wiping," where players agree to commit suicide (in game) to gain an advantage. This may desensitize children to the concept of suicide, as they respawn within a few seconds, actually better off than they were before. This teaches children that suicide is not only okay, but actually beneficial in some cases.
A final major issue is the introduction of a giant floating ball, called "The Traveller." Our expert researchers believe that this Traveller is designed to represent the Antichrist. It controls the Kim Jong Un-like Speaker, and leads them against an army of free people (Represented as inhuman monsters) in gory battles. It also grants them demonic powers, such as magical guns, knives, and other attacks. This evil magic should not be shown to the children of America, and should be treated as a serious threat to society. [/quote]

While the stupid 'Murican propaganda "parallels" are outright laughable they did point out a lot of the things that make no sense in the game. Destiny is corrupting the worlds youth. Not in the way they're thinking though. If Destiny is the standard for "top tier" games for the younger kids and this is what they use as a base to determine what is an acceptable game and what isn't then Gaming as an industry is about to go the way of Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon.

Good one, I appreciate the effort put into this one

Edited by ttv/RitzyCheese: 9/12/2015 3:20:54 AMThis is much too intelligently put together to be an actual Fox news story. Have you ever actually heard a Fox news story? They sound like they're taking to 7 year olds[spoiler] oh wait a minute[/spoiler]

"And in the town of Beverton, as many as 30 million people have lost there lives Tom. Now Beverton has only a population of about 12 thousand." "There have been reports of looting, killing and even acts of cannibalism" "You've actually seen people eating each other?" "Uh no Tom, but we ARE reporting it." [spoiler]I broke the dam[/spoiler]
