Microsoft recently sent out a survey asking gamers how they feel about Achievements. Towards the end, one of the questions asked how you would feel about certain Achievement types. One of the options is fairly interesting.
Providing Achievements for non-gaming uses of your Xbox 360 (e.g., “The Film Buff: You’ve watched 50 DVD’s”)
It looks like Microsoft may be gauging interest to see if people would like Achievements to spread into other areas of their digital life. I’m not that big into Achievements or Trophies anyway, so I could care less. If they do implement something like this, though, there should definitely be something for having gone through 10 RRoD’s like I have. How about 20k Gamerscore points for that one?
What’s worse for your kid? Seeing an extremely lifelike human character getting his brains splattered all over a wall with a 50 caliber bullet or seeing some side-boob? According to a recent survey, the side-boob is the worst thing possible.
WhatTheyPlay, a site for parents of gamers, ran a survey to find out what is the most offensive. The four choices were: A graphically severed human head, A man and woman having sex, Multiple use of the F-word, and Two men kissing.
As you can see from the resulting graph above, both A man and women having sex and Two men kissing came in above A graphically severed human head. So let me get this straight… having your kids see sex in a game (something they ALL will be doing when they grow up) or gay attraction is much worse than someone being beheaded? What a fucked up society we live in. I guess the parents from this survey want their children to be virgin homophobic killers. We’re going to get very far as a society with a lot of those people running around. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.
