Today's youth are very impressionable. You see children emulating the behavior they see on TV, hear in music, observe in adults. Some of this behavior is desired. Some of it, is not. There are plenty of children playing video games like Destiny. Although it is rated Teen, this game does have violence in it and I worry that it may be corrupting the minds of the youth who play it. If the interactions on this forum alone are any indication, then it has already affected their temperament. Don't believe me? Scroll down the page. It won't be long before you encounter vitriol hurled by somebody's child. When I played video games, I cannot tell you how many times some 7 year old claimed to have copulated with my mother. I've heard profanity uttered by a 5 year old that I would never have dreamed up.
The violence being imitated in Destiny is causing violent thoughts and tempers. Which is why I believe Destiny needs to be more child-friendly. How must this happen? Well,I for one think we should get rid of death animations. Instead of having an animation, I believe the enemy (or opponent) should disappear in a flash of light. I also believe that some of the weapons could be replaced with less-threatening objects. For example: the throwing knife could be replaced with some sort of energy sphere that scores points when it hits the target. Instead of firing realistic bullets, the guns could fire rays of light. (I'm keeping in mind that most of them already do.)
Another thing that could make Destiny more child friendly is the implementation of a profanity filter. Language recognition has gotten incredible. I am sure it would be simple to program some version of word recognition into the in-game chat. Every time somebody utters a profanity, they will be penalized. Three strikes and they are banned from participating in public games for 24 hours.

Longface? What are you doing here?

It kind of is already. My ten and eight year old sons play all the time with my nephews. They have completed all the raids on normal, on there own, and have been to the lighthouse. I have done neither of those things.

2 RepliesThree strikes for swearing on online gameplay where it's even stated "isn't rated"? That's just silly. It's 2015, swearing goes practically unnoticed by most. This is just a ridiculous post.

This game is already not violent, especially in comparison to other games. It's got a Teen rating! That means it's suggested for teens and above (as in not meant for children.)
-
This game caters to children already, how the hell do you make it more child friendly?
-
Not only no but hell no. You want a game for children go buy Legos or something like that. It's guys like us that pay for there games/ systems so on. They make plenty of crap for younger gen. Or put an option on games to take away violence blood etc. oh wait how can you do this in a shooter?
