When I say this, I put this out not just to the gamers on this forum, but to everyone.
I believe that games are not a problem (which most parents tend to find are the heart of all problems). In fact I would state the opposite, I over my few years on this earth have been privileged to own games throughout my life and have learned many things from them. From common sense to knowing many generals from the three kingdoms period in china.
One of my favourite childhood games to date is Dynasty Warriors in which I learned all of these generals, what their personalities were portrayed as and so forth.
Samurai Warriors being another one of them.
When people get talking about the three kingdoms period I tend to think I know quite a lot on the matter and I have learned all of this through the use of video games.
I tend to like a lot of factually correct games, (Fun fact, did you know every boss in assassins creed who you assassinated died in that exact place by the same person - I find that amazing how we are basically watching a snippet of their lives.)
My question to everyone is this - Games are widely portrayed as a problem (causing people to be violent etc..). What are your thoughts on this matter?
I think I have put my opinion across
