Man, the American Psychological Association, otherwise known as APA, is not going to like this one. As this video game, which is titled Body Cam, is an ultra-realistic military FPS game developed by two young French developers. And analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio, because to be honest, this is one of the more realistic games I've seen maybe ever. So this particular game

uses the Unreal Engine to achieve photo realistic graphics and offers a unique perspective from a body camera which is why it's called body cam and is set to release in early access soon with focus on multiplayer

modes now let me make sure body cam release date I don't know if there's an actual release date yet so the saying the game was released in early access on June 7th but early axis doesn't mean the game is like actually out if if people don't know early access is basically one of those to have people test the game then usually they pull the game to put it out at a later date but I don't know what that later date is so currently the game is an early access that's all you need know so if you want to look it up and play it just know that the platforms that the game is on is I don't know if it shows me the platforms uh let me see body game body cam I thought it would have told me the platforms I guess not I wonder if it's just a PC only game

Because the graphics on this, I don't even know if consoles can handle. Body cam video game platforms. Let me see. Yeah, it seems like it's only available for a PC. That's interesting. Okay, so PS5 Xbox release explained. Let me see. Because obviously somebody playing on console is probably like,

when do I get the game? And let's just say, we don't know. Let me see. So the game's already on PC, of course. Developers said, for now, we are aiming for a PC-only release with keyboard and mouse support. So in all actuality, the graphics, I don't know if it could smoothly run on console because I've watched people play the game on Steam. And granted, it is an early access. but it does have certain issues when it comes to optimization.

I mean, it's a photo realistic game, mind you. So it's doing a lot with this hardware. So anyways, I didn't think it would be on consoles, but I had a fact check. So anyways, the game modes. Multiplayer is the only thing available right now, as far as early access, including multiplayer modes, such as Team Deathmatch, and Body Bomb. what with up to 10 players per lobby playing game modes in the future the developers promise to add more game modes such as post um to add more game modes but we do not know what those

game modes are so they just said in the full release there'll be more game modes very uh general but hey no single player mode currently there are no plans for a single player mode although developers might consider in the future due to uh based on fan feedback and And then as far as the multiplayer modes, getting more into that, the body bomb mode, which is insane. But I think Rainbow Sixthage is notable as far as the game mode, having one of these. So it's a strategic search and destroy mode requiring careful planning and coordination. And also Team Death Match, which is a 66 mode with friendly fire, unique weapons each round. Because I do think that the overall premise is for it to be realistic.

So everybody has like the same weapon. It's not like no custom loadout on no Call of Duty type B. Everybody has the same weapon, same grenade, tactical grenade, flashbang, stuff like that. So you can't really call anybody Mickey because you're all using the same stuff. Unless somebody's cheating, of course. But another thing I wanted to touch on, but let's get into the major publication reviews first before I get into the actual seriousness of this video game and the conversation is brought up.

So Metacritic noted that this early access to the game shows that it shows promise in realism and gameplay but notes issues with balance and progression. IGN gave this game a 5 out of 10, praising the visuals and immersion but criticized limited contact, content and technical issues recommending waiting for updates steam currently has a mixed reception of 72 positive review score as of me recording this and players appreciate the realism and tactical gameplay but mention

balance and content concerns game spot gave this a six out of ten praising the game for innovation using body cam perspective but highlighted need for polish and more content PC gamer gave this game a 68 out of 100 praising the graphics and it's a recurring theme in these reviews praising the graphics and tension field gameplay but noted mission variety can be improved and also Eurogamer gave this a detailed review and basically appreciated the unique perspective but found the game rough around the edges recommended monitoring turning updates so as far as overall specifically talking about the video game you know the graphics

is definitely a unique approach to the FPS format but the optimization issues when it comes to content when it comes to technical polish when it comes to widespread use of of no widespread engagement right because the more you people play the game that the more strenuous it's going to be on the servers so for it to be in early access and having these issues then you can probably realize that they have a long way to go but as far as you know getting it out there in early access you can sort of already make your claim to fame to this photo realistic fps mode um just in case any copycats come around but to be honest i don't think the gamers really care about copycats I mean, if you copy somebody and do it even better, I'm pretty sure consumers won't care. So let's get into the real discussion. Now, Train Rec came out and said a statement and gave a statement regarding the game BodyCam, because if you don't know, it's very realistic. And with realism like this comes into play the whole concern about violence and video games.

I mean, gaming against violence, American Academy of Pediatrics, which is a medical organization endorsed to view that exposure to violent media, including video games, can contribute to real life violent behavior and may harm children in other ways. And also, along with that organization is the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. I think that's how you pronounce it. And then, of course, the one I started off with, the American Psychological Association, which is not exclusively for video games, but has been, like, heavily involved in a ton of debates linking violence to video games, right?

But the stance has evolved over time, of course. But it's a very convoluted discussion because it's not black and white, but what is black and white is the fact that this game is ultra realistic and it kind of takes away the empathy from shooting somebody right so let's put this up right quick so train wreck came out and said i'm going to get a lot of hate for this but and right i have this quote up on the screen if you want to see it analytic dreams on spotify to see the video along with the audio well analytic dreams video make sure to put the video so anyways uh train wreck said

i'm going to get a lot of hate for this but this level of realism and video games should be heavily moderated and shooters for anyone under a certain age. I hope parents do their job. This level of realism for shooting and killing makes me feel uncomfortable as if I'm watching a real leak from a military or police operation. The clear distinction between real and fake is necessary. But this level of realism, in my opinion, gives real credibility to the non-saception. sense politicians that have been spewing for years about video games conditioning young people

to lose a sense of empathy toward violence tendencies or situations. Now as far as his statement and what I personally think, for the most part, we agree. The only thing I would say is I believe shooting games do take away a sense of empathy, right? because not saying that because you play a shooting game, you'll go out and shoot somebody in real life, but you're killing people in a video game. And the premise of that, I believe, makes you lose, I don't know what percent, I'm not a doctor,

but I think you lose a certain level of empathy when you're killing somebody over and over and over again in a video game. But as far as it translating it to real life and you wanted to go out and kill somebody, I don't think there's like a strong correlation with that. But that's just my personal opinion. I mean? And also, everything else that he said, I completely agree with.

So that brings up the age old debate. Violence and video games. You know, some will argue against violence and video games, basically suggesting that video games lead to more aggressive behavior and that middle school students who play mature rated games, which is M-rated, for those who don't know. were more likely to engage in physical aggression compared to non-players. Right?

I think that's false. Simulating violent actions and games may enhance learning of those behaviors. Realistic controllers can significantly affect cognitive aggression. And then another one against violent video games is, of course, the age-old discussion. Grand The Fado, right? And people say playing Granthafoto leads teenagers to imitate violent acts from the game,

raising concerns about real-life behavior and influence by gaming. So those are the arguments against violence in video games. But of course, to be fair, let's read off the arguments in favor of violence and video games

because a lot of people advocate that due to research, the comparison is flawed and there's no direct casual relationship that has been established between video games and social violence. And also, people believe that violent video games provide

a safe outlet for aggression feelings and even and may even reduce crime. And then the last tidbit is that federal crime statistics show that serious violent crimes among

youths have decreased since 1996 despite the soaring rise and popularity when it comes to video game sales so of course there's a lot of data and studies to back up each argument but some of the more notable ones is the psychological psychology of violence that highlighted the competitive gaming nature regardless of violent content relates to aggression. That's one. And then another one had the journal of the American Medical Association that found a casual link between habitual violent video game playing an increased long-term aggressive behavior. But to note, those are just some of the more notable ones.

It's essential to know that these are all just certain research used and certain stats and statistics and even though the observational, they don't prove as cause and effect as far as the overall debate of violence and video games because it's multiple perspectives that you can come at this topic with. And then you have to realize

at the end of the day, it's a very nuanced debate. So that's the reason I even wanted to cover body cam in the first place because this discussion and topic is never going away. People are going to all. always link violent video games to certain actions in the real world. And that is just something I think politicians specifically use to disregard the actual problem, which may be in some cases the freedom and lack of security when it comes to getting a weapon.

And I'm talking about certain states. Obviously in New York is very locked down, right? And I'm talking about other states where you can, like, just have weapons freely. And then it's a very nuanced discussion in that aspect because this is a bad thing. Is it a good thing? Well, history will tell you that the people having weapons is sort of a good thing because if the government ends up doing something that's, let's say, diabolical to the people, right? And we have no way to defend ourselves.

Well, then what are we going to do? We just got to obey to what they? government says. Like imagine if the government was like, hey, you know what? Y'all can't have no more children. If you do, we're going to kill them. You know what I'm saying? Like obviously it's a very extreme example.

But then how would you uprise or go against the system when your weapons are not even up to part? Not even saying that the general public has weapons up to part to the military. But I'm just saying if we don't have no weapon at all, I think it leads to certain checks and balances that ends up being a non-existent because you can't defend ourselves. So I think this is a very nuanced discussion. It's definitely not black and white. But yeah, that's what I have to say about that.

As far as body cam, the game's realistic, man. There's really nothing else to say. I mean, it's an ultra-realistic multi-player first-person shooter. If you have a PC, I would definitely try with your friends just to see it for yourself. And in all actuality, I never say this. If this game was to come out with the VR version, I would not be mad. I think it's one of those games that could really be the flagship IP for VR system. And I know y'all probably saying, what do you mean VR?

I'm telling you, the realistic aspect of this game seems to be the selling point. If you put that in VR, obviously it has to be optimized because if you don't know, VR games have to have a certain frame rate because of vertigestion. go and like something else but anyways um has to have a certain frame rate or else the person you uh using the system could have like issues like um headaches migraines things like i mean you can have that regardless but having a great frame rate will make it um less of a chance if that makes sense um so yeah what else that's basically it uh this game is an early access uh early access once again I wouldn't judge it too harshly.

Like, sometimes people just completely disregard early access and act like it's the finished product. Early access is accessing something early. Like, it's not finished. You know what I'm saying? So, yeah, just keep that in mind. But anyways, for my PC players, this game is available. So with that being said, click my link tree in my bio.

Let me know one of my social media is. What do you think about the game body cam? And at the end of the day, how do you feel about the discussion of violent video games and where do you stand on the matter doctor disrespect now coming off of the review that i just gave when it comes to kendrick lamar is not like us music video i think it's very fitting to follow that up with some doctor disrespect news because as far as his career as far as his reputation it has forever been altered and changed as he was quote sending inappropriate messages to a minor on Twitch back in 2017 which he confirmed less to his permanent ban from the platform in 2020 now analytic dreams video on

Spotify to see the video along with the audio because I currently have his full statement up I don't know if you can necessarily read that you may have to take a screenshot or zoom in or mainly just go to his Twitter account and read the statement for yourself but the biggest thing is it's over it's very serious what he's accused with and should not be taken lightly and his partnerships and brands seemingly are not taking it lightly as turtle breach turtle beach the san francisco 49ers midnight society and more importantly youtube youtube specifically has suspended dr disrespect's ability to monetize his content which is a huge deal citing their creator responsibility policy And this means he can no longer earn revenue from ads or memberships on his channel.

Pretty big deal. As far as the other partnerships that are referred to, Turtle Beach, San Francisco, 49ers, Midnight Society. They have terminated their relationship with him after confirming the accusations. Think about it. Something that happened back in 2017 is now being acted upon. in 2024. Now, he was permanently banned on Twitch back in 2020, but as far as the YouTube, as far as his other partnerships, it's really coming to fruition in 2024 because of the community backlash. And with that, a lot of streamers and content creators have came out and publicly talked about his actions.

Streamers like Nick Merckes, Kysenat, Jack Septicay. distancing denouncing everything that dr disrespect did in that message and towards a minor people have made parody disses which is uh reflected the community's disapproval i mean as far as this personal statement i have it on the screen right here you can read it if you want to there's a lot of garbage words to try to reject labels like predator or pedophile which is exactly what he is right and

as far as this controversy and the message that happened back in 2017 with a minor which he admitted to he admitted to the inappropriate message to a minor on Twitch back in 2017 And the reason why I was taking a pause, I was trying to find what he said it. But basically, this is, this is Dr. Disrespect. You wonder what the source is?

You want to know my source? The man himself. Like, like this is insane. This man tweeted out, were, because he was addressing, apparently some ex-Twitch employee came out and just leaked it that, leaked the reason he was permanently banned back in 2020. Because basically everybody was just like, oh, dude, just not working together no more, but nobody ever said the reason. So I guess, I don't know if he got fire laid off, left.

I don't know what happened. But the ex-Twitch employee was like, hey, I'm not taking this to the grave. I'm not taking this to the grave with me. So he just let the cat out a bag on why Dr. Disrespect was banned from Twitch back in 2020 and basically say he messages a minor, right? Public backlash started to come up because of that. And Dr. Disrespect responded to that because of it resurfacing. And guess what he said?

And his highlight end this video home. Let me see if I can. Zoom in. Yeah, hopefully y'all can see that. Let me zoom in a little bit more. Make sure y'all can see this nice and clear. Yeah, there we go. Dr. Disrespect tweeted out.

He said, were there Twitch whispered messages with an individual minor back in 2017? The answer is yes. Let me tell you something. Ladies and gentlemen, that's the only thing. that needs to happen after a grown 30 plus year old man says something like that did you hold up because i don't know man like that type of stuff i just don't like it man i just don't like that shit man like honestly when it comes to to grown man targeting minors i just don't like it man i just don't like that shit man it is really a different level of

disgusting as far as being a human being and going at minors for certain actions, right? Because something is wrong with you. And you need help. But more importantly, you need to be put in a place to where you cannot affect and keep engaging in this type of activity. So as far as this controversy, as far as him losing monetization and all of his sponsorship deals

and his lengthy statement basically confirming, which nobody, if he wouldn't have said anything, we would have had to have been like allegedly he texts a minor and all that sort of stuff. He came out himself and said, were there Twitch whispered messages with an individual minor back in 2017?

Answer is yes. Ladies and gentlemen, And then he said the case resolved by a settlement. There's no need to settle if you're not guilty, my brother. And with that, let's just know that simply him saying there was no criminal charges brought against me. That's all we need to hear. A settlement and no criminal charges. This man sound like did he himself.

So, yeah, man, it's over for Dr. Disrespect. A lot of other rumors and, you know, allegations. that I try to focus on the facts, but at this point, you know, people are coming out in the community talking about how at certain conventions, you know, he hits up certain pretty women at the convention and begs them to come to his room while he has a wife, mind you. And back in 2017, he also admitted, I mean, this man was a nasty, nasty, nasty man. Back in 2017, along with the minor texting and things of that nature, he also admitted to infidelity. that I believe that particular situation happened 2019 and he like admitted to it. Like he came out and said, I did. You know, it was like a public apology to his wife, basically.

And, you know, it's sad at the end of the day, but he still has to face the repercussions for his actions. Because everybody makes mistakes. but this right here this type of mistake you can't you can't come back from it it's not it's

non-negotiable it's over it's over so with that being said click my link to my bio let me know in one of my social medias what do you think should happen to doctor

to doctor disrespect because of the inappropriate text to a minor on Twitch back in 2017 and why do you think it took so long for his other partnerships

and more specifically YouTube to step in you.
