Jayson Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I was reading this survival mag - and it was talking about how gaming had replaced the action heroes of the past. I mean, is there any Arnold Schwarzeneggers anymore? Well, anyway, some have blamed this on political correctness - but as mentioned, - PC hasn't really affected gaming, at least not to the extent many claim. Anyone think a movement against macho gaming will gain real traction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I think it definitely has replaced the heroes. And there is lot credit to netflix and other places where they brainwashed the new generation with the content. I think good old days of political non interference is not there anymore.

Expand Yeah, but it seems like if there's a demand for movies - the demand would be met. Don't they even notice the large number of people who like action movies?

kingpotato Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Sorry guys I'm getting confused about this topic, what are we talking about exactly ? Videogames replacing 80s and 90s action movies and stars ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackangel Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 If this is a discussion about using video games as a way to relieve stress, then Mortal Kombat has my vote. Beating the shit out of people and watching the blood fly always helps. But better than that is Soul Caliber II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killamch89 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 The Joker was pretty good too - not going to lie. It really showed the ugliest side of society and the way it triggered so many snowflakes - I love it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I'm still trying to figure out why lamestream media was so triggered by this particular movie. Even going as far as to say it will trigger mass shootings - I tend to like what mainsstream media hates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shang Tsung is more hands on. kingpotato 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
