Re: Blood Effects Setting On/Off

@EdwardDLuffy  I knew someone said recently they were vegan but i couldn't remember who and yes you need a steak and chops to climb higher! 😃

I've never been that soft except someone i knew who i downed but they got trolled with quips and tea bagged before dropping all my gear for them. Other than that i'm pretty ruthless with everyone, even my team mates. I mean banter and trash talking, just messing around.. Unless they land on my ping when i break off from JM then Slayer protect your ears as that's the one and only thing that really sets me off into toxicity. 👿

Apex is PEGI 16 and has some darker elements in the game so i would expect there to be certain things not suitable for a minors. In other games with a lower age rating then i would have a different opinion as i have 2 small girls but in a shooter where it's recommended for those late teens/nearly at adulthood they should have a certain amount of maturity when dealing with the world online or graphical content.

Some may find it controversial but it's not my responsibility for others frankly bad parenting and letting their kids be exposed to stuff like that without imbuing some resilience beforehand or letting them play unsupervised.

When i was prepubescent i was playing Resident Evils and Silent Hill and my daughter who is only 4 has already come shooting with me and gutted a rabbit so things like the OP don't make much sense to me.

@DoYaSeeMe Ikr. Still haven't played it yet but looks good.

I didn't let my son play 'shooty bang bang' games until he was 13. He didn't mind as he seemed to prefer Little Big Planet and Minecraft anyhow. He ended up on Battlefield. He's just turned 23 and doesn't play games at all. He seems well-adjusted.

Being vegan is annoying. I've lost count of the times I've had the following conversation:

PERSON; I hear you're a vegan.

ME: Yes.

PERSON: So what's wrong about eating meat?

ME: Nothing.

PERSON: So why don't you eat meat?

ME: Because I don't want to.

PERSON: Don't you like it?

ME: Yes, I like meat.

PERSON: So why don't you eat meat?

ME: Because I don't want to.

PERSON: You must think it's wrong to eat meat if you don't eat it.

ME: I think it's wrong for ME to eat meat.

PERSON: What about everyone else who eats meat? Are you saying they are wrong?

ME: Of course not.

PERSON: Have you ever eaten meat?

ME: Yes.

PERSON: Ah-ha! So you're saying it was okay to eat meat then, but it's wrong now? That makes you a hypocrite.

ME: I used to run around naked all day, but I stopped doing that when I was four. I guess it was okay to do that then, but now I'm in my 50s, it's wrong now. I would still like to run around naked all day, but my attitude towards doing that has changed, so I keep my clothes on. If you want to run around naked all day, I'm not going to stop you, but if you do decide to do that can you let me know, so that I can be somewhere very far away.

@EdwardDLuffy He was 13 and would have already been exposed to things by that age either generally with friends at high school or in films or adverts anyway. It's the ''my kid is 6 and coming online to play this evening'' be it Apex or other shooters like COD ect and i just think this isn't something they should be doing at that age, especially unsupervised. I don't judge them at all but that's my opinion.

I imagine that's frustrating. I've had a similar conversation long time ago tbh and appreciate  some might not for health concerns, they don't like killing animals or whatever other reason. I'm perfectly content with knowing i have to kill the animal to eat it. Grandparents are farmers in Sweden so i was aware from a young age of the process before it was packed and on the shelf.

Kill it quickly so it doesn't suffer and don't waste anything was and is the rule.

The only thing stopping me running around starkers is it's indecent exposure and illegal here. Also it's usually cold in the UK. 😛

That's the thing - eating meat is perfectly natural. As soon as people hear I am a vegan they immediately get defensive. I just don't like the idea that something has to die just to fill my fat stomach - but that's me. I have an issue with people who kill for fun but other than that I mind my own business 🙂

I don't eat eggs because I don't like the idea of all the day-old male chicks being killed.

I don't drink milk, eat butter, cheese because I think drinking/using a fluid created by another animal's body is a bit ... icky ...

Hey! I am in the UK! If you're ever in Devon PM me so we can meet up (post COVID) for some Apex tales and tips :D

@EdwardDLuffy I've always loved milk and still do but have to admit after watching star wars the last jedi and Luke getting a drink from that creatures breast i never thought of it in the same way. Which is strange as i seen cows be milked loads of times.

Definitely! We're off to the pub and you're driving! 😛

@Koochi-Q To think they're the future. Where did we go so wrong? 

@apostolateofDOOMThey’re not my future! They’re the apocalyptic future in which they’ll be so passive that space overlords will have free reign taking over the world. Luckily by then I’m already dead...

Wait, why are you looking at being-milked cows! What kind of weird fetish is that XD

@EdwardDLuffythats understandable. Vegan cheese XD. Just like early vegan meat I’m assuming it tasted like? I just don’t think about the killingz that goes on into making it. I know the videos but they don’t faze me. I find it an appalling practice, yes, but I need my meats! I do admire ppl who can be vegans & vegetarians as that’s something I could and would not do. Well I could, but it wouldn’t last :P

But I’m in equilibrium. I donate to environmental stuff like Greenpeace & Save the animals... while eating animals... That should count for something right? ;D

@Koochi-Q "If they didn’t want to be in my mouth they should’ve run faster"

 Good morning to all of you, I appreciate y'all's responses and opinions, thank you for being honest. To be honest with you myself, I don't mind that most people think I'm being ridiculous and unrealistic. I expected that when I made the post. I just want to know if my opinion (and I know the opinion of many other players/parents) is important enough to add one simple setting to the game. Hey, if no one else cares about the blood, I guess that's up to them. But I do, and I would like the option for myself. Maybe I am a chicken compared to everyone else. Honestly, it would not be a big deal to me if I have to stick to Fortnite and Splatoon! But I am giving EA the chance to open up their game to a much wider audience with just one setting before I give up. I'm saying I think the game is great, and I would love to play it. But it's not the end of the world. I just thought it was worth a shot. I know I'm not the only one; I have seen several other posts requesting this setting, even outside of this website. I understand that by most people's logic, blood isn't a big deal. "Bro, come on, it's a shooter." But to me, blood is a big deal. That's why Fortnite is getting my attention and Apex is not. That's also why the blood of Jesus poured out for all of you and myself if we accept it has such powerful and saving value. And if that last statement alone is all that anyone hears, it's worth it, because I know it to be true. Thank you again for hearing me out.

@Koochi-QThank you, I appreciate the kind response. Yeah, I know it might not happen, but I guess we will see!

I don't care if someone is vegan. That's their choice. As long as they're not the preachy meat shamer types I always see. I also don't get vegans/vegetarians that eat things that resemble meat. Like if you're going to not eat meat, take the full plunge & don't eat something that looks like meat either lol.

I understand what you're saying. But I'll be honest with you. This game has a ton of other issues that we've been pleading with them to fix. Do you honestly think they'll listen to you about turning off blood? I could see this being something else that potentially breaks the game or causes another annoying glitch if they added this feature. If you're not comfortable with it I'd just not play. As you said there are already other games that get your attention.
