Not everyone can understand (or agree with) behaviorism and systematic desensitization. I personally agree

Will this rape scene enable us to play new games on CFW 3.55?

No, since there's no sexual (virtual) intercourse.

Develop homebrew games.

There's enough tormented heroes/heroines, did they really have to go and do that to Laura? She's not freaking Batman. As for the actual scene in question... that was as close to a rape as a toyota prius is to a formula 1 car. Dude got kneed in the jewels, had his ear ripped off, AND got shot in the face.... if only reality would be as kind to rapist. Anyways, moral of the story? DON'T RAPE PEOPLE!... or animals... or things...

Her name is Lara not Laura...

xD no one thinks that....
As I said before this rape thing forces people to view a part of society, that is very real and in my mind should wake some people up.

BS man, how did the player get involved in this seemingly non-rape scene? it's not like the player has to rape lara.. If you think TV-Shows and Games are unrelated into thinking about reality than there's something completely wrong with you.. Games are just as fictional as watching a TV-show and vice versa.. Haven't you ever noticed how kids are reacting after they have watched a movie, how they tend to want to replay it in some kind of way.

It's all fictional, and if you can't distinguish the difference between fiction and non-fiction then you shouldn't be watching tv-shows or play games... It's as simple as that..

I do agree, once you have to rape someone in a videogame (and it's a game which is also for teens) then I think it's gone too far, but even then I'm thinking myself of a little bit of a hypocrit, as far as I think, everything should be possible in a game.. Why should people be disgusted if you can wipe out a pre-school or kill everyone in a shoppingmall in a game, it's all fictional..

People are going to be De-sensitized it is just part of how we have evolved as a people and how society has evolved. The world has become a messed up place and censoring video games WILL NOT change that! And just to point something out, the bible states that one of the signs of the Apocalypse is people become desensitized. Just saying. And i will even go as far as to say that Laura Croft was asking for it dressing half naked like a dirty little sl*t! So it's her own fault

Eh, I didnt see anything wrong with the trailer, and the game actually looks pretty good. But the movies ruined the games for me, everytime I see lara croft now I think of a c.oc.k.y Angelina Jolie.

Fiction or not, you get a kick/high/buzz from it (choose which one you want) and trust me, it is you who has the problem not me as you Still fail to understand that I am talking about reactions to it, not the thing itself.

That is my point exactly, and not one single word I said states that games should be censored etc, but they Do aid to the mess.

Reply as you both wish, I really cannot be bothered teaching how to distinguish action from feeling any more.
