What makes a game too violent? Is it when there is simply too many deaths and guns? Is it when the motivation behind the violence makes it too much? Or is it when angry parents (over baring mothers) and large religious organizations say "it's too much".
This is a subject that has been plaguing the game industry and their developers since the early days of gaming.
On one side we have a massive amounts of people claiming violent video games cause violence and even to go as far as to claim they are used to train to use guns and ways to kill people, none of these claims have been proven to be true, in fact the have been proven wrong multiple times by countless studdies.
The studies into wether or not games cause violence have shown that games do quite the opisate and lower violence and the aggression people feel every day.
There is a fine line between real violence and video game violence, our brains are wired to tell the difference, no matter how "realistic" game violence is, we as people will be able to look at it and think "that's not real".
