Why not try and ban porn games too then?

I never liked when people try to blame video games for violence. It doesn't cause it at all. People not being able to distinguish between the world and a video game is the problem.

Can anyone direct me to where I could find said games?

About Bully, wikipedia

Bully is a sandbox game set in a school environment. The player takes control of teenage rebel Jimmy Hopkins, who from the opening cutscene is revealed to be a difficult student with a disruptive background. The game concerns the events that follow Jimmy being dropped off at Bullworth Academy, a fictional New England boarding school. The player is free to explore the school campus in the beginning and, later on in the game, the town, or to complete the main missions. The game makes extensive use of minigames. Some are used to earn money, others to improve Jimmy's abilities or get new items.

School classes themselves are done in the form of minigames, broken into five levels of increasing difficulty. English, for example, is a word scramble minigame, and as Jimmy does well in this minigame, he learns various language-skills, such as the ability to apologize to police for small crimes.

Jimmy has a multitude of weapons available, although they tend to run along the lines of things a school boy might actually attain, such as a slingshot, bags of marbles, itching powder, fire crackers, stink bombs, and, later in the game, a bottle rocket launcher and the spud cannon, a firearm that launches potatoes. Although fighting is an integral part of the game, violence against girls, smaller kids, or authority figures generally has swift and severe consequences.

Jimmy also has an assortment of vehicles to operate — mainly a skateboard, but also a scooter, a go-kart, a lawn mower (for money, and also to complete a detention and, towards the end of the game, some missions), and various bicycles. By passing shop classes, Jimmy can build increasingly high-performance BMX bikes, and use them in either races or a bike park. The player can also alter Jimmy's physical appearance to his/her liking by purchasing new clothes, haircuts, or even tattoos.

I'm currently hosting a contest in the ATG clan...

This...doesn't sound like it. Sounds like you play as the bully himself. I also get the same answer form my little brother, who has played the game.

...The prize is 5k. Why not swing by and check it out?

I guess the real issue here is that in any sandbox game it is about the nature of the player.

I'm currently hosting a contest in the ATG clan...

No argument there. But games like that, and other ones like GTA and such make me somewhat angry, with all the mindless, pointless violence that really has no point to it whatsoever. At least in the stuff I play, the violence is always justified.

...The prize is 5k. Why not swing by and check it out?

Um... Welcome to 2006? Actually much before that.

H-games aren't uncommon in the land of the rising sun. About 90% of Hentai is rape scenarios anyway, this isn't surprising at all. It's a social illness some say. I don't live there, I don't really care.

The issue isn't that they make rape simulators the issue is that they are sending them to the USA now.

Well that's another thing. People have been getting import games from all sorts of off shore companies for years. People can download that particular game right now from certain pirating sites. It's difficult to safeguard people from the internet.

Well making it legal doesn't necessarily make it any more right. Pirating games is illegal so there is a punishment for it either way.

GRM: Actually. I wouldn't mind if they did ban porn games

really? i care. I would mind quite a bit. Banning any form of expression that doesn't actually do harm to anyone is ******** terrible.

It's a sad state now when people give up their rights voluntarily then complain when they can no longer exercise them at THEIR discretion.

YOU try finding a game that has absolutely NO violence in it whatsoever that has done well. Other than sports games, there isn't really anything.

How about Flower? I don't know if that would fit in with your definition of successful though. Bajo from Good Game seemed to really like it when they did a review... And I consider sport to violent or in the very least rather aggressive...

As for this game... I heard about it ages ago and I don't like it, not one bit. That said, I suppose it would be hypercritical of me to speak out against it as I hate it when people try to blame video games, metal music, or action movies when someone does something violent.

I never really said it was right either. I've just been stating that it isn't new.  

[The Dinosaur Next Door]

Entertainment is meant to be frivolous and anyone who takes any form of entertainment such as movies, books, video games, etc. and tries to make them anything other than a form of amusement deserves to be deprived of inactive joy for the rest of their life.

That said, Rapelay is not something I would ever play, or be present while someone else plays it. That's just not funny or amusing to me. I mean, I don't see anything wrong with simulated violence - in Driver's Ed, I used to run over pedestrians on the vehicle simulator. But those people weren't screaming and crying, they didn't beg me to stop, and they didn't have faces when you came close enough to see them. They just walked stupidly along the road and didn't turn around or run when you pulled up on them.

As long as you don't distance yourself from the real world, or convince yourself that what you're pretending to do is okay in real life, simulated violence is a harmless form of entertainment. The people who let themselves be talked into violence by forms of entertainment depicting violence probably already had the tendencies toward these acts inside of them, or are the types of idiots that I mentioned above.

If you approach entertainment with violent themes with the understanding that it's not real and that there's probably a reason that it isn't real life, then you should be fine, barring mental/social disorders. Even if it is pretending to rape someone, or pretending to murder someone, or pretending to break the law in nonviolent ways, entertainment is just entertainment. It's not real.

While the thought of this game sickens me beyond reasoning, I am against banning it. I am for complete freedom of speech and expression, even if what you have to say (or what you make) makes me want to punch you in the face you still have the right to say/make it. I would never play this game myself and might glare at anyone who did but I think the game has a right to be made. I think bringing it to the US might prove to be a bad idea however, just because of the backlash that would ensue and all the angry protests I can see from groups that ALREADY hate video games.  

[Trish the Stalker]

I'd rather play this game than actually get raped.

Or have men play this game than actually rape me.

It's just a game. Sorry, not for banning it.

EDIT: Partially because if it were cheap enough I might actually buy the damn thing.

I certainly wouldn't play the game, but I don't see it as much more disgusting than games that encourage you to kill people. : s  

[Saverio C.]

Uhh the people this will appeal too torrented that s**t a long time ago I'm sure. Anyway more to the point the places selling this wouldn't be any store that kids would be allowed in so why the ******** not. If you are into we can make money off it, and we should. It's a ressecion, time to make the economy go. This game not only makes the sex shop money, but also lotion companies and even tissue makers all profit.  

[invisible-weirdo]

...Fun.
Anyway, while I definitely wouldn't play this game, I wouldn't want anyone to ban it. I don't see video games as being something that makes people more likely to perform violent acts (not adults anyway. Children are a different story, but then again, what kind of parent goes out and buys something like GTA for their 5-year-old son?), so I'm not taking that BS that people who have never played anything other than Bejeweled are spewing left and right. [/incoherentrant]

And on a related note, I don't see a game like this pulling in too much in terms of sales on this side of world. Because really. If someone really really wanted to play this game, then they probably already have it =/ And besides, a game like this is going to be rated AO, which means you're probably not going to ever randomly 'stumble upon' this game while sifting through selection at your local game store or Target.

So yeah....[/babble]

When/if you do pass it this way please. We haven't found a good version yet, they all seem to have a virus on it. If I can't find it anywhere I may have to buy it. If we manage to find one before you we'll pass it your way.
