The First Game That Truly Disturbed You

Video games don’t usually repel their players. Gamers are nothing if not tolerant—of horrific acts of violence, long loading times, high prices, we’ll put up with a lot. But everyone has their limits. What was the first game that turned you off not because it wasn’t fun, but because Yono all app you found it morally repugnant? This morning I came across a thread on the gaming forum NeoGAF that posed an interesting question: “What was the first game you actually found morally objectionable?” Let’s talk this through. I’m curious to hear about the Yono all app first game that truly disturbed you.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1617852660","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"culture","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"culture","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); Let’s do it like this, using one of my favorite games as an example we can all follow in the comments below: God of War 3 The God of War series has always been insanely gory, even by modern gaming’s supremely violent standards. But there was something about the way Kratos executed the bosses in that particular game that made me squirm. Like he was enjoying himself a bit too much when he gouged out someone’s eyes, or chopped off their legs and watched them flop around helplessly on the ground. I guess I was supposed to be enjoying myself as well, which was the part that grossed me out. Now: the God of War example is Yono all app an aesthetic question as much as an ethical one. Games can be morally objectionable for plenty of other reasons. Tomodachi Life offended many gamers in the U.S. because Nintendo wouldn’t allow people to have gay relationships in the game. At least one critic despised Dark Souls because he thought it was offensively long. Almost 80,000 people joined together in protestagainst SimCity’s always-online requirements back in 2013. In other words: feel free to take this question in any direction you’d prefer. And remember to have fun!
