violence

When used as a slang term, "violence" is a synonym for modern AAA video games, particularly those that are action-oriented and feature intense combat, conflict, or aggressive gameplay. This term excludes indie games and older titles released prior to "Mortal Kombat" (1992), which are often perceived as less graphic or impactful.
When my friends talk about violence in gaming, they’re usually referring to the latest AAA titles that push the boundaries of graphics and gameplay, not the charming pixel art of indie games.
