[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]

What do you guys think? I personally think Fox News is insane!
Please keep it clean and friendly. Last time I showed you guys this, some people got a little out of hand.
Edit: Alright, who bumped this?

Oh f*ck this sh*t it's a Rick roll

Edited by LynxD3stiny: 8/14/2015 2:21:26 PMFox doesn't realize that a lot of studies have been conducted and the results are usually identical. Violent people get violent when playing violent video games. When normal people play them they are not affected.

I'm a Destiny fan, but this is what happens when 12 year olds play online.

That's gr8

Must burn all copies of Density

Oh I remember that. Thought it was bs but vaguely plausible since it was fox news but realized it was a rickroll when my phone asked if I wanted to open the link in Chrome or via Youtube.

Wtf? Is fox serious with this shit. They obviously just suck at pvp and are trying to slander this game because of their very low k/d ratio.
-
Ppl actually believe they said this
-
We all know Fox news is just a bad comedy show

Edited by ty gc: 7/21/2015 6:37:46 PMFox News has no chill

You should look up the Fox News Mass Effect story. http://youtu.be/PKzF173GqTU They had an "expert" that didn't even play Mass Effect and claimed there was full digital nudity, graphic sex, and your character can sleep with whoever they want. Unfortunately none of those features were in actual game.
-
This is all Bungie's fault. If they made a good story with character development and a plot that made sense this would never happen
-
It does sound like nonsense but there's always 2 sides to the story.

Edited by Kramer: 7/21/2015 6:11:39 PMHahaha. Pathetic. Some people take stuff and just run with it but don't realize how absurd they sound to the majority of the population. I doubt Fox News fully backs this columnist's opinion. If you read these types of articles, there is usually a disclaimer at the top that says the opinions expressed below are not the views of fox, cnn, etc. Edit: picked up the satire. My statement above would still apply if this had been real.

You caught me. 😂 *tips fedora*

Haha fox is a joke' sad how many people just rely on them for their sources of news/information
-
I'm amazed how many people didn't click the link.

Wouldn't expect anything less from those fear mongering assholes. And do you know what's the scariest part? People watch this shit and actually believe it. -blam!- Faux News and anyone who watches it and takes it seriously.

Expected Rick Astley. Was not disappoint.
