You can tone down the violence
926720
I enjoy the game but the graphic violence (on its normal setting) is too intense for me and for any young people who might stray into the room at a violent moment while you are playing.  However, I quickly found a setting that toned down the language and the extreme violence.  Obviously you are still playing a "killing" game but there are no longer any of the extremely graphic images of the unregulated version. I still don't let my children watch me play, but I am no longer terrified that they will walk in at a truly gruesome or profane time. That said, I enjoy the game, even if it can be very frustrating in its hardest setting, when you are almost at a checkpoint, on the 20th try, and you get killed. It is back to the beginning of that section and it may be many more attempts before you make it through. However, if it was easy, I guess it wouldn't keep me coming back. I have never played any games like this before so unfortunately I can not give any comparison to other similar games.  Initially, I didn't have a clue what was going on...  I couldn't figure out how to throw hand grenades back, or in the sniper sequence what I was supposed to do...or how to get different weapons...etc. etc. but I eventually figured it out and the enhanced knowledge made the replaying at harder settings more fun.  My wife thinks I am nuts and hates the game...but then she has never played.

There are many days in my life where I want to whine about dumb things. Mostly just because I can. But then I realize how annoying that can be. So, I pop open Shut the F&%# Up, and get knocked down a few pegs.

Thanks Jason Donnelly for keeping me from being a whiny bitch.  Most of the time.

Awesome, takes away the sharp tones,  I can hear speaking without the factory harsh noise!

This is music for punching people to. If I am breaking someones jaw, it's to "We Put the Fun in Funeral". If I'm beating someone who owes me money, it's to " I Want My 50 Dollars". If I turn this album on, something must be beaten. It's just that brutal. Get it now, and start a fight.

If they would just have an option to remove the absolutely annoying and constant attacking animals in this game, I would enjoy it a lot more.  Being repeatedly attacked by animals takes the fun out of exploration and stalking an enemy position.  Hard to believe any non-playing characters even are alive in this hostile environment.

Even with the annoying Malaria, I thought Farcry 2 was the best of this series.  At least you could plan your strategies and attack enemy positions without being mercilessly attacked by wild dogs, honey badgers, or rhinos.  And that is just a few of the predatory animals that want to make you lunch in Farcry 4.  Sometimes I feel this is more of a hunting game than 1st person shooter.

I like the open world environment and the guns, but too many annoying wild animals can get old real fast.

Its ok for an older game.  No violence is a good thing

It could be a little louder. There are some sounds that are hard to hear. Other than that it's ok.

Certain.y not the best and there was a bit too much coincidental violence but hey, not a bad way to amuse me while traveling.

Great game to calm things down when you want to kill your friends during the middle of a Munchkin round.

The violence question is subjective.  There are old west outlaws, guns, and bounty hunters, but nothing graphic.  I don't like violence, and if it were graphic, I wouldn't read it.  This book was easy and interesting to read.  It's interesting to see how people survived in this time period. We take so many modern advancements for granted today.  I've already downloaded the next two volumes in the series.

Although it is fun to smack other people while baserunning, charging the mound, hard tagging runners, and intentionally beaning batters, it starts to get a little boring. Now don't get me wrong, it is a fun game, but it does lack a little in the game play. Other than that, it is a great game with good graphics and sound. It just could have used a little improvement thats why it recieved four stars instead of five. It is a great way to releive stress. This is a sports game with a little fighting twist to it so if you like fighting games and sports games, this is the game for you.

cuts most sound out, up to 9MM at least. Beyond that, they're still quite loud. Comfortable.

Have you ever read a book or saw a movie that left you thankful such horrible things don't happen in quiet neighborhoods like yours or to good people like you? But, at night, you lock your doors and windows anyway, right? Why?

I'll tell you why. It's because you know that, every once and a while, the blood from malevolent metropolitans spills into suburban and even rural havens. It's never anything you've said or done wrong, nor is it retribution for some past sin. You've just been chosen to die, and there isn't a thing you can do about it.

Sanguine Fluid will make you wish you had chosen something else to pass the time before you lay your head to the pillow. Frankly, this sequel is not for the faint of heart, but an ordeal that will drag you through the bloody depths of murder, mutilation and misery, whether you like it or not.

If you're sick of people who make noise and want some help fighting them, this isn't the greatest book. It has a wealth of information on noise sources and technologies but is too politically-correct for my liking. It reminds me of those who blame crime on upbringing, not character, i.e. "let's all try to get along" vs. do something about these idiots.

Sample quote: "By and large, the unabashed noise lovers I met seemed to me to be exactly as barbaric as was the greater society in which we mostly live today."

I find that quote to be a cop-out. The evil of people who force their (entertainment) noise onto others' should be dealt with in unapologetic terms. Noise from utilitarian sources like construction and traffic is really a separate issue but it gets blended together in this book, as if there are no real perpetrators. Boom car thugs and Harley dregs are selfish and there's no need to humanize them just to be fair or "understand their world." Over-analyzing bad behavior tends to excuse it in the end.

In the end, I think there's more psychological satisfaction in the rants of anti-noise activists, though he may be right that our best pragmatic hope is replacing noise with silence somehow.

I like this production but I find the violence to be too frequent and harsh and I keep having to leave the room, love the scenery, acting and overall story line.

Create chaos. Absolutely divine. As you progress you get the ability to mark someone to be either, k*lled by a gang, or arrested by the police. When you get into trouble, start marking your foes with these and watch the fun unfold. Sometimes, I go to the rough part of town, and just go crazy with it. After the carnage you can pick up the cash and guns left on the ground. What a frigging game.
