[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]

I voted that Fox is right, and yet I still play it.

One day at Fox News HQ: Guys we've run out of highly exaggerated story's to use. NOOOOO, now how do we make the public panic or cry in terror. Hey look at this game called Destiny that's coming out soon. Hey we can summon Activison to cut the games heart out and shove it up there ass. Good idea, then we can ruin the game community and destroy a loved company. Win Win. Later....... BUNGEEE I IS HERE LEEERRRROY JEEENNNKKIIINNSSS. Bungie: Wtf Activison wait wat are you doing to Deej STOP HIM!!! Activison: Alright Deej show me where Destiny is or I'll remove dead orbit from the game. Deej: OK YOU MONSTER. Take two rights and one left. Activison then cuts Destiny up shoves it up his ass along with Bungie and moves along to the next game. Long story short Fox News is the source of all things bad

While video games as an entity don't do such ridiculous things to people, this forum is proof that Destiny brings out the whiners and the morons of the world :)

What does it say when so many people are believing this lol.....-blam!- Fox news!
-
What the actual cannibal Shia Labeuf are they thinking? I'm sorry, but if kids are that susceptible to video game violence (which is obviously a BS claim) then there is a problem with the kid and therefore with the parent. Here's what I mean... If your child is old enough to play the game, they should be old enough to tell the difference between game and reality. If not, you're letting them play way too early and you've failed at teaching your child how to think.
