OctoberRaven Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 So, playing as UFC in Modern Warriors, using the latest patch, and a regen dies at 25... http://img863.imageshack.us/img863/7388/omgtheykilledkenny.jpg Do any fighters ever NOT die of natural causes?

DreamGoddessLindsey Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Not that I've seen. Completely unrealistic. The odds of someone under 40 dying of natural causes is pretty rare. Usually it's cancer or heart disease or something along those lines. Certainly not natural causes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KholDrum Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I assumed it was just an easy blanket generic term to avoid having to write in specific details for each person who dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyeball Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I assumed it was just an easy blanket generic term to avoid having to write in specific details for each person who dies. Correct. Nuno Valentinez died at age 19 in my game, about two weeks into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kainlock Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 its just the MMA community not wanting to say drug overdose and ruin the image of thew sport. Like irregular heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Star Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Not that I've seen. Completely unrealistic. The odds of someone under 40 dying of natural causes is pretty rare. Usually it's cancer or heart disease or something along those lines. Certainly not natural causes. Heart disease and cancer ARE natural causes, though. Illness and your body malfunctioning are natural causes. Unnatural causes are dying to something like being struck by lightning, or getting murdered.

bigtplaystew Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 to "die of natural causes" is something that people say simply to insinuate that there was no foul play. Also... if you look at some of the MMA deaths and definately the pro wrestling deaths, they say that they "appear to have died of natural causes" simply because there was nothing apparently wrong about their death. Usually you find out later it was drugs on the heart that killed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calinks Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I know why it's like that in the game. It's easy and not controversial but I big part of me really wants to see some specifics. In the context of the game some could be funny like an OD. Then some could just be crazy like a car accident, death after fight, heart attack, etc. If it had something to do with the fighters personalty it would be cool. Make you more wary about some fighters because you know they party really hard or something. There is one boxing game I played, were people could die of natural causes but they could also die from a beating. They could also get severely hurt where their careers were all but over. Would be cool if fighters had to retire due to injury or things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KholDrum Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 The personality idea could be funny. Loners commit suicide, Loose Cannons die in bar fights or police custody... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pate Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 If a friend of yours had just died in a car accident, or committed suicide, or died in a bar fight, would you really want to open up WMMA and see something like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KholDrum Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 It's a computer game. You should be able to separate a fantasy computer game from real life. That's like saying no movie or book should ever have a character commit suicide or die in a barfight either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtplaystew Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 To be fair to GDS... the game focuses on building a proper MMA company and not on how people died. I'm fine with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calinks Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 <p>Yea the two reasons why I understand the natural causes are:</p><p> </p><p> 1. It's simple. Things could get complicated if you have to put in 5+ different types of deaths and match them up to possible personality traits. </p><p> </p><p> 2. Some people are going to be offended. Personally I don't give a crap, it's a videogame but there will be people out there who will take it seriously and then GDS will get an ear full. </p><p> </p><p> Personally I'd love that stuff to be in the game, I'd find it fun and more interesting but I don't think the public can handle it. Maybe deaths due to injuries or just the term "accident" but anything more specific and some people are going to get really upset.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigtplaystew Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Yes... people don't just die for no reason. Even if you are 110 years old, there's a reason why you are dead. "Natural Causes" is a politically correct and nice way to say that someone has died with no apparent "foul play". This is often a term used to protect people's privacy especially when they are young.

Calinks Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 What would be funny is someone dying of supernatural causes. Seriously though, Randy Couture causing every death in the game is king of a cop out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
