WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

August 11, 2008

Professional wrestlers aren't generally known for their smarts, but WWE's Randy Orton does wax philosophical - in his way - in an interview with Eurogamer.

Visiting London to promote THQ's upcoming SmackDown vs. Raw 2009, Orton turned his attention to the debate over video game violence:

Violence sells. I want to see more violence in games - the more blood the better... [Some parents who worry about video games] don't know their kids are watching South Park.

 

The violence [in Goodfellas] is against human beings. There's rape in movies - you see all kinds of f***ed up s*** on film.

Orton, who owns an Xbox 360 and a Wii, called Grand Theft Auto "just a cartoon" in comparison to Goodfellas.

Thak you Orton. If there's one thing the Gaming industry really needs. It's people like helping to make us look bad.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

 Violence sells.

Non-violence sells better.

The game that's made more money, dollar-for-dollar than any other: Pac-man

Best selling Game of all time: Super Mario Bros. 3

Best selling PC game for 20th century: Myst

Best Selling PC game currently: The Sims

Need I continue? Try again, Randy.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

That's a very simplistic analisys. It does show that you don't need violence for a game to sell and actually only about 6% (I think it was 6 but no time to look it up right now) of games published in 2007 were rated M.

But that doesn't mean that violence doesn't help to sell games.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Violence helps video games NOT to be able to sell well at all.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

YAY, Myst!!!

On a slightly related note: "FORGET AGE OF CONAN; WHERE'S THE ****'S MY DREAMFALL CHAPTERS, FUNCOM?!?!"

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Best-selling game of 2008: Grand Theft Auto 4.

Most anticipated game of 2008: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

Why is it mothers let their kids watch 300 but they won't let them touch God of War? This 'anti-videogame' fad is killing an industry that has entertained us now for decades, and for what? A mass of people who've never touched a controller preaching about how filthy they are? Poloticians who barely know what a videogame is much less played one getting behind public opinion to snag votes and get support from soccermoms worldwide?

While I don't agree with how Mr Orton put it, I definately agree he has some valid points. How is it that every program I watch they are almost screaming that Grand Theft Auto is the worst plague mankind has ever had to suffer and yet the movies that depict scenes WORSE than anything Grand Theft Auto has ever even talked about are hailed as 'masterpieces'?

But let's face it - violence is real, very real indeed. Without the media and games how would kids even know about death and violence, especially with the over-protective mentality of parents today.

I own a PS3 with many violent games. GTA4, MGSGotP, Warhawk, Haze and Bad Company to name a few. I am a perfectly sane, stable-headed person with a respect for authority and enough scope to my brain to look at things in as many views as possible. I know parents are trying to protect their kids from violence and death, but it's one of the things they will have to live with once they are out of the house and they can't protect them anymore.

In summary, I feel that WAY too many people are willing to jump on this particular bandwagon. My parents have been very understanding of my want to play violent games, and treat it no worse than me wanting to watch a violent movie... because it isn't.

Fact: Most (if not all) of the people who play the 'GTA Trump Card' when engaging in violent and unstable illegal behaviour were under the age limit of the game when they did so. Instead of the responsibility being shifted to the parents for allowing them to play it, it usually ended in reduced (if any) sentences and lawsuits against Rockstar.

I hope taking the time to write this post opens a few eyes and closes a few mouths and shows just how strongly us video-game die-hards feel about the subject. Thank you for taking the time to read this rant, and I hope that it hasn't offended anyone as it isn't designed to be offensive but rather... enlightening. Once again, thank you.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Reason the parents don't want the kids playing violent video games is because they don't want their kids, teenagers, young adults treating others meanly or getting away with bullying. I had enough of assholes like you who think violence is cool when it is being directed towards those who don't deserve it.

 

VIOLENCE TOWARDS PRO WRESTLERS, DOGS, CATS, CHILDREN, TEENAGERS,FOUR LEGGED ANIMALS, WOMEN FUCKING SUCKS!!!!

 

STOP TOLERATING SO MUCH VIOLENCE!!!!

 

The way Randy Orton said what he did about violence is to make the point that most people are apathetic about violence and don't actually stand up to loudmouths who have no business running their mouths about anything yet they get to while the good guys like Randy Orton, John Cena, C. M. Punk, HHH, Undertaker,  Edge, Super Crazy, Kane, The Great Khali, and others in WWE as well don't get to say to people:

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU TOLERATING VIOLENCE AND NOT STOPPING IT??!!

WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE AFRAID TO TAKE A STAND AGAINST VIOLENCE AND WAKE THE FUCK UP, PROTECT PEOPLE AND ACTUALLY SHUT THE BULLIES UP WHO TOLERATE THIS SHIT AGAINST MY.....UH, EXTENDED  FAMILY MEMBERS...... LIKE RANDY ORTON, JOHN CENA, C. M. PUNK, UNDERTAKER, HBK, Y2J, AND PRO WRESTLERS AND FANS WHO LIKE THEM BUT WHO DON'T LIKE THEM GOING ALONG WITH DOING BORING, NON ENTERTAINING, NON INTERESTING, SUCKASSED, LAME, LOUSY, DULL, GIMMICK MATCHES AND IF RANDY ORTON OR ANY PRO WRESTLER IN WWE, TNA, ROH, JAPAN OR WHEREVER THEY'RE FROM HAS A PROBLEM WITH WHAT I SAY THEN THEY NEED TO RETHINK THINGS!!!!!!!! I DON'T LIKE THAT THINGS ARE SO FUCKED UP IN PRO WRESTLING TODAY YET PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY'RE "FANS" AND WHO CLAIM TO LOVE PRO WRESTLING ARE MISSING OUT ON THE ASPECT OF PRO WRESTLING THAT MAKES IT SO AWESOMELY GREAT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!

THEY'RE MISSING OUT ON BEING ABLE TO GET HUGS, AFFECTION, RESPECT AND CARING FROM PEOPLE AND THOSE PEOPLE ARE MISSING OUT ON BEING ABLE TO GET THAT FROM THE PRO WRESTLERS AND OTHERS WHO WATCH PRO WRESTLING AS WELL!!!!

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

The man clearly understands the issue better than most politicians. And that will tell you a lot about politicians...

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

 This is so true it hurts my head.

Ummm wow...umm was the last person I was excepting to endorse video-games. He is right, GTA is like a cartoon. Thanks Randy! :P

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

And this is why Ihave a man-crush on Randy Orton.  Orton for president!

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

You're being disrespectful towards Randy Orton with your comments. You're NOT "cool" for saying that.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
i love this guy.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

If you really love Randy Orton, would you be willing to help him as well as other people fight against gimmick matches, personal feuds, manipulating and harmful behaviors happening in WWE? I will. What about you? It's rewarding and well worth your while to do this.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

I think we have plenty of mainstream violent video games, but I've noticed that most developers have become rather squemish about making gratuitous blood and gore like games of the 90's had.

As for indie games, we don't have enough violent indie games period.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Orton really is the best heel in WWE next to HHH.

I wouldn't say he's a gaming philosopher, but his comments are better than JT's

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

I wasn't expecting Randy Orton to support more violent video games but power to him, I believe him more than Twatfact Tripeson

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

So if he even said anything at all about it....I bet it was to get a certian sort of response from people anyway.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Amen! There's nothing wrong with violent entertainment. It's a healthy way for humans to creatively explore concepts that we'd rather not have to experience in real life.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

The only way that violent entertainment can be healthy is for it to be used properly against bullying and explore concepts that we really do want to experience in real life.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Apparently a lot of the pro wrestlers are avid gamers.  It's easy to take a console with you on the road and unwind with the games.  I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they know what they're talking about when it comes to gaming.

And he's right...GTA IV is a cartoon compared to some movies.  I'm actually amazed at how LITTLE blood you see in GTA IV (though what little there is is done very effectively).

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
I've heard the Dudleys are skilled at Mario Kart.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Not really, most of the WWE superstars/pro wrestlers aren't necessarily avid gamers but they know that IWC smarks ARE. I guarantee it. Any parent who'd let their kids play pro wrestling video games are doing their children a disservice if they're not teaching them to respect others and protect themselves and others from bullying/bullies.

VIOLENCE IN VIDEO GAMES SUCKS!     GIMMICK MATCHES SUCK!   

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Um, Orton is a guy who took a dump in a woman's gym bag for not responding to his advances.  Why listen to what someone like him thinks?

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

just a note, upon reading this i did a little bit of research, and this is actually a false statement

while it's true that it was alledged that he deficated into a female employee's gym bag, the female employee has stated that while he did vandalise her bag, he did it with baby oil and lotion

also to not, it wasn't because she turned down his advances, but apparently because she did not reconize him in the locker room

also note, that Mr Orton did infact appologize for his actions

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Another story about Orton says he threw food one time at hotel housekeeping that woke him up by coming into his room despite a "do not disturb" sign. That's actually pretty cool.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Well the truth is that the woman who lied about Randy Orton taking a dump in her bag, and who now all of a sudden is saying it happened with baby oil and lotion as well as the story changing from her turning down his advances....now all of a sudden it is because she didn't recognize him in the locker room? He wouldn't be in the Diva's locker room in the first place. Why was it that she didn't stop lying about him and treating him in that way???? Yet he had to apologize to her. Makes no sense.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Thats still the biggest BS ever, it was disproven, and yet, people still keep saying it.


 

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

That's a lie and a rumor made up about Randy Orton taking a dump in a woman's purse for not responding to his advances. Exactly like the one you started about Randy Orton being married and having a child. He is SINGLE!!!! What, you didn't know that Randy Orton is the sort of guy who....because of the way he uses his facial expressions and his body language....women copy those things and keep the guys who would attempt to abduct them on the street, to leave them the hell alone!

Why listen to what someone like Randy Orton thinks and feels?? Because he deserves to be treated with respect and consideration, kindness and affection. As does John Cena and other men and women in WWE.

THAT'S WHY!!!

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

That's a lie that turned into a rumor about Randy Orton taking a dump in a woman's gym bag for not responding to his advances. Why listen to what he, or someone like him thinks? Because Randy Orton wants it that way and he deserves to be face to face with people who care about him and to be able to give and receive affection, kisses, hugs, share laughter, do fun things, share a meal and hang out with people, too.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

I have a difficult time saying he is wrong.  I don't think he is making the industry look bad at all.  There is much truth in his statements actually.  It just depends how you translate it to yourself I suppose.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Randy Orton has been wrong at times and right at times in his life. Pro Wrestling isn't what looks bad, the fans---ie; IWC smarks make pro wrestling look bad. So do marks sometimes as well. When neither group does things to help or bring about things they do want....things get worse. Randy Orton said what he did to get people thinking and questioning things instead of just going along with things that happen. He needs help to fight against all of the negativity.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Video games actually tend to restrain themselves since Wal-Mart refuses to carry games with an AO rating.  If the world's largest retailer won't carry your game it has an impact on sales, so a developer is going to tone their product down rather than risk disappointing sales figures.

Big commercial movies have far more actual graphic violence than most games.  Did I mention the trailer for Saw V was just released?

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

"Video games actually tend to restrain themselves since Wal-Mart refuses to carry games with an AO rating."

Them and gamespot and other big name retailers.

Although let's not forget that Sony and Nintendo won't let you make Ao games on their consoles (I'm pretty sure it's the same thing with the Xbox).

As much as I dislike Wal-Mart I think it's a bit unfair to place all the blame on them.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Wal - Mart shouldn't be allowed to sell things like steel cage, elimination chamber or other types of gimmicky matches under the guise of being a game, or a toy, or something to play with or treat lightly. Violence in pro wrestling SUCKS! It should be banned completely.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Vince, if you're reading this, this is just another reason to give Orton another WWE Title run when he gets better.  *Orton pose*


 

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

I know, I read that, and was both pissed off and dissapointed at the same time.  *Shakes head*  Especally since this gives, ugh, Cena a clear shot at the title.  *Vomit*

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Seems like the only reason you want Randy Orton to  have a WWE or WHC title run is to force him or John Cena or some other WWE superstar to do gimmicky type matches. Randy Orton is better. He isn't doing gimmick matches in November when he returns to the WWE and John Cena isn't. Nor should other WWE superstars/pro wrestlers like Edge, Undertaker, HHH, or anyone else on RAW, SmackDown! or ECW do them either!!! BTW, Randy Orton or John Cena  having a WWE or WHC belt sucks and so does them main eventing if by doing so that means they have to do gimmick matches. All gimmick matches should be banned from the WWE, ROH, TNA and other pro wrestling organizations.

 

WHY ???????? VIOLNECE IN PRO WRESTLING SUCKS AND IS LOUSY, NON ENTERTAINING, NON IMPRESSIVE,  NO GOOD, HORRIBLY BAD, DESPICABLE, LOUSY, CRUEL, UNFAIR, UNCOOL, AND SO IS VIOLENCE IN VIDEO GAMES!!!!

VIOLENCE IN WWE, ROH, TNA, JAPAN AND OTHER PRO WRESTLING OR IN VIDEO GAMES THAT ARE PRO WRESTLING OR NON PRO WRESTLING RELATED SHOULDN'T BE TOO VIOLENT BECAUSE IT CAN DESENSITIZE PEOPLE TO VIOLENCE AND THAT CAUSES PROBLEMS!!!!!!

PROTECT THE WWE SUPERSTARS/PRO WRESTLERS ------ 0 TOLERANCE FOR GIMMICK MATCHES IN WWE!

PROTECT THE SUPERSTARS/PRO WRESTLERS IN ROH, TNA, JAPAN AND OTHER INDY FEDS AS WELL FROM GIMMICK MATCHES ------0 TOLERANCE FOR GIMMICK MATCHES!

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

I'l agree with the muscle head, games need more violence ,at last as much as we had in the sprite days, subtle "censorship" like in  turok or ultra realistic games that only have rag rolls but no limb loss and such need to go.

What childish logic. "Violence sells. Money is good. More violence = more money, so therefore violence is good." You'd expect someone who makes his living in primitive, barbaric entertainment to promote violence.
Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Jack Thompson, is that you?

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

probably not. Jack did complain about BioShock being advertized during WWE indicating that he watches this stuff.

岩「…Ace beats Jack」

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

I know its probably not him, I just put that cause that seems like something that he'd say.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

It's nice being able to hide behind an "Anonymous" identity isn't it? Prowrestling isn't not any more primitive or barbaric as football or hockey or any "real" sport that involves physical contact. Don't even bother going to MMA or boxing, at least prowrestling hasn't hidden behind a guise of being "real" over the last 20+ years. >_>

Personally, I'd rather people (who know it's not "real") be interested in mostly scripted violence than the real thing.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

well the acting and stories are rather...... primitive.... hehehehehehehe

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Anything good I want from Randy Orton face to face....he'd probably make me earn it from him. Just a hunch. Anyway, the truth is: Violence doesn't sell. Money isn't good all the time. Especially when those making the money are harming or being allowed to harm WWE superstars/pro wrestlers and anyone who likes or loves them. Violence isn't "good" for anyone. I'd expect Randy Orton to be more against violence in pro wrestling than most people would be and pro wrestling isn't primitive, barbaric or meant to be treated as such. Randy was pointing out that there are the types of fans, namely IWC smarks who do view pro wrestling as being something which should be violent or allowed to be violent. The ones who promote the primitive barbaric aspect of violence in pro wrestling aren't the pro wrestlers themselves. The IWC smarks are the ones who'd promote that aspect.

Randy Orton HATES that people would disrespect his profession by screwing it up and ruining it for everyone. Pro wrestling is supposed to be entertainment. NOT violence. I would also expect Randy Orton.....or, people who like him and care about him as a person, to explain that pro wrestling is more than just doing wrestling moves on people. It is about telling a story or at least showing that it is about doing things which are funny, humorous, goofing around, having fun and not intentionally being cruel or mean spirited towards others. Because people who watch pro wrestling have a personal responsibility towards the men and women in pro wrestling to treat them with consideration, respect, compassion, gentleness and goodness.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Professional wrestlers aren't generally known for their smarts

Maybe not, but it doesn't change the fact that most of them (at least those who started in the last 20 or so years) have college degrees, including degrees in journalism, business and many other areas. Though, don't remember if Orton does, he's just a dick. He did have a brief stint in the Marines that didn't end so well. >_>

Professional wrestlers are smarter han one may think, its much more an act than simple "muscle smash".

I was going to add a few more examples that I thought of with wrestlers who I know have degrees. But it'd be a rather long thing to write and I'm too damn tired to do it.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

If I recall correctly, George "The Animal" Steele had a masters degree in science.

 

Though I suppose that might not count for much.  There are many morons who have earned degrees and do not deserve them.  Yes Jack, I am looking at you.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

George Steele > (and I'm sure smarter) then Jack Thompson.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Randy Orton's not stupid! Randy Orton and John Cena AREN'T dicks. You're being a dick. Randy Orton served in the US Marine Corps and he didn't want to stay in the military forever because he didn't want to make it a career. He wanted to be in pro wrestling. His military service wasn't what he chose to pursue. So get off his case. He isn't bullying you, you're bullying him and myself as well. Randy Orton's the reason that people even WATCH WWE and care about it. If it weren't for him fighting for the rights of everyone to say things freely there wouldn't be such a thing as "freedom of speech". You don't have the right to disrespect him or anyone else.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

32 comments and not a single one is a wrestling joke involving some guy taking down/pinning/doing their special move or what not on the video game violence issue?  tsk, tsk...I'm disappointed.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

and only one subtle hint at a similarity between some guy pinning down another guy wearing nothing but spandex and gay porn.

岩「…Ace beats Jack」

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

No wonder Jack loves pro wrestling. Jack and gay porn do have history

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

I'd like to see more violence in video games too. Maybe not excessive blood but just more twisted violence.

I want a game where I could walk around a crowded city acting like the Joker from the Dark Knight (come to think of it, that might actually be more fun than playing as Batman, I hope DC Comics reads this).

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Actually, a great deal of professional wrestlers have college degrees. One or two have masters as well (current roster that is, but they're more exception than the rule). In fact there is at least one wrestler I know of that is both taking a full on road schedule AND is currently doing a full load at a major University. The majority of them aren't stupid... Randy Orton, I withold the right to be mistaken, is not one of them with a college degree. He's been known as a royal arse backstage, and has put his foot in his mouth more times than I can count when he's been out due to injury/suspension (probably because he has a lot more free time).

That being said, I do agree PARTIALLY with his message and /facepalm his way of saying it simutaneously.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Randy Orton can be really, really protective of what he wants and of people he cares about that he wants. In his own way. Randy Orton's more intelligent and wise than the college dudes are anyway. Randy Orton doesn't get a lot of free time. He's usually working, wrestling at a show, travelling to the next show or signing or whatever and training to stay in shape physically and cardiovascularly. I have to go work out and do cardio. Or Randy Orton's going to kill me for not doing that.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Randy is always right & am with him.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

TRIPLE H and UNDERTAKER are the real kings of wrestling,Randy orton should RKO his sorry ass back to St.louis. And yeah, Jack thompson is a Dick and a Hippocrate, and he's pyscho-killer obessed with looking at this site as always and only cares more about money than god himself, He can type anything he wants to try and to prove his claims, but  its not convincing and never will be...that is the truth, I do agree with Orton, let alone being scary looking and an asshole, Im looking forward to 09 and wrestlemania 25 coming. 

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Triple H is a notriouse backstage politican, and honestly, I don't watch the show that he's on while he's holding the champion cause I hate him that much, but otherwise, yes, I will agree with you on Jack Thompson.

Re: WWE's Randy Orton Wants MORE Violence in Games

Btw, I think Atari and Midway will drop out too, but mostly travesti because  these guys have done nothing ttnet vitamin or little and need to start saving costs.
