Hmm, I see. I get violent thoughts as well sometimes, but I manage to suppress it pretty well. However, that's because I can control myself whenever I get violent thoughts... probably because violent video games eases me a bit.CallCenterHero wrote:It's not that violent video games make me sad... it's more to do with violent, intrusive thoughts that I experience--uncontrollably. Fortunately, I've been treated for a lot of the worst issues of my depression, so I'm MUCH better than I used to be.
Still, I struggle with that stuff occasionally. The reason I don't want to play DooM 2016 is the same reason I don't watch gory horror movies: it's too much like what goes on in my head.
I mean, if I squint hard enough at the Doom sprites, they're pretty detailed. But it's still much different and less realistic than any violent game today--let alone DooM 2016. It's just not the same.
As for Classic Doom being much different and less realistic than Doom 2016, I'd have to argue with that. It was and still is realistic in my opinion. If you really examine the sprites for gibbing and the death animations, you can see they are pretty brutal and for the time they sparked outrage.
I watch Evil Dead 2.... but then again that's comedy-horror and not really like horror-horror. I can't really watch gory horror movies either except Evil Dead 2. That's really about it. =P
