[quote]Since it's release in September of last year, the video game Destiny, Bungie's newest venture, has been extremely popular with people of all ages. Is this coincidence, a smash hit, or something more sinister from the legendary game designers?[/quote]
Skipping the boring part of the article and getting straight to the meat of it:
[quote]Perhaps Bungie's commercial success with the legendary Halo franchise has made them desperate to build up a larger and more dedicated fan base than newer rival 343 Industries, the part of the company that stayed with Microsoft, and the legendary franchise. This may have led to the questionable decisions by Bungie on gameplay and storyline that are affecting the unusually young audience (Brought in by the game's "Teen" rating from the ESRB) in a detrimental way, beyond the evils of a regular first person shooter.
The first way in which Destiny corrupts the youth of America is through the very idea of the main character, a member of an army blindly following a masked man called "The Speaker." Anyone who considers this at all sees the obvious real life parallel: Kim Jong Un and North Korea. This game teaches these young people to blindly follow a leader, possibly weakening their minds to North Korean propaganda.
A second risk caused by this game is an increase in suicide. In the game, a popular strategy is called "Wiping," where players agree to commit suicide (in game) to gain an advantage. This may desensitize children to the concept of suicide, as they respawn within a few seconds, actually better off than they were before. This teaches children that suicide is not only okay, but actually beneficial in some cases.
A final major issue is the introduction of a giant floating ball, called "The Traveller." Our expert researchers believe that this Traveller is designed to represent the Antichrist. It controls the Kim Jong Un-like Speaker, and leads them against an army of free people (Represented as inhuman monsters) in gory battles. It also grants them demonic powers, such as magical guns, knives, and other attacks. This evil magic should not be shown to the children of America, and should be treated as a serious threat to society. [/quote]

Edited by Reptile_7_: 7/18/2015 5:00:17 PMAs a father of two teenagers I couldn't disagree with Fox more. I was the first one of us to get Destiny when it came out and encouraged my son to pick it up. Now he plays on Xbox and I run on PSN. What about the team building skills, social interaction, strategy, and companionship the game encourages. Nice try Fox News. FAIL.

Edited by Bloodroseknight: 7/18/2015 4:52:03 PMDo you think bungle cares about what fox says? If anything that's free publicity. How many people even know about destiny? How many people know about destiny now? So if anything it's more business for bungie Activision. [spoiler]i hate you. You got me you dick.[/spoiler]

Fox News just wants to find a way to link anything with Kim Jong Un
-
I love the "expert" that said the traveller is the anti Christ. Like the "expert" that said Birmingham (a city in the UK) is a Muslim stronghold and a no go area for non Muslims. Or the "expert" that identified a black flag covered in dildos as an ISIS flag at a gay pride event. Trash news. Anything for ratings.
-
Fox news is seriously mentally deficient. Holy shit, this is scare-bait for 50+ year old parents. I have written paper after paper after presentation(for college) explaining why videogames are not like this and then an article comes out ruining everything. Fox news: STFU. With hate and vengence, EoG Candyman
