i guess movies aren't mature either...you're not doing anything they're doing and you're not there, same thing with music....
sitting on a couch counting cracks would be more mature than sniping people in a videogame?
wow if i thought the same as you, i'd be one bored ass person

So what you've said both times as examples of mature games is that you kill people in them. Realistically. So you think it is mature for people to go around killing people instead of having talks on how to resolve disputes? Sounds like someone who's mature to me.
Montana00:
Mature doesnt refer to Mature as in your personality or whatever.
We didnt name the fucking genre.

if you comprehended the posts above, thought about it, then came back with a logical response i'd say you were right.

Hmmm;
No. Movies aren't the same. You're watching somebody perform; all you're doing is observing entertainment, that's of course mature.
Music is the same. You're observing, learning, listening, paying attention to something. There's nothing immature about that.
Of course, you can be immature and still watch a movie or listen to music. They have nothing to do with each other.
You can't say a GAME is "MATURE", though, because games are for children. Children by nature aren't mature. The concept of maturity gets it's definition by it's contrast against the actions of children, which include videogames.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with enjoying games, but it's not 'mature' to enjoy games. Not everything we do has to be mature, though... which is why a 'mature' game is not only an oxymoronic phrase, it's not even a necessary qualifier... there's nothing wrong with playing immature games.
