[ChaosDazer]

What do you think about any video game dubbed controversial?

I think that it depends on the genre of game. If it's a shooter, I'd ignore it. Mainly because it would probably contain sexual or religious things. I'm not a fan of involving games in either. If it's like GTA, stay away at all costs. If it's controversial because of weird reasons, I'll probably check it out. If it doesn't sound to bad, then I don't see much of a problem.

The more religions and anti video game groups hate it, the more chance of me buying it.

I think there wouldn't be a problem if people didn't make such big deals out of it. Then they wouldn't get as much attention and kids would just think of it as another video game. But once it gets attention in the media, they've gotta have it.

True, but when you say nothing about it, more people are curious, and therefore more people buy it.

Its funny, how everyone gets all butthurt over gta4 coming out, yet more controversial games came out, like saints row 2, but no one cared about it, because "OH LAWD, GTA4 IS GONNA MAKE ALL OUR KIDS INTO TERRORISTS!"

Yeah, people need to see that it's just a video game. If they try to do what the characters are doing, they have major issues and need a counselor.

www.dictionary.com defines it as:

1.    of, pertaining to, or characteristic of controversy; polemical: a controversial book.
2.    subject to controversy; debatable: a controversial decision.
3.    given to controversy; disputatious.

Controversy is defined as:

1.    a prolonged public dispute, debate, or contention; disputation concerning a matter of opinion.
2.    contention, strife, or argument.


So basically we're talking about games that are argued about based on their contents. Such as Grand Theft Auto, Saints Row, or any sexual/religious game.
