Some of Hatred’s devs are supporters of the PLA, so it seems. I think it’s been proven, but whatever. If you want to make a game yourself, learn to program. Doubt it’s coming out for anything but PC anyways.
I’ll say it again. The Elementary School level in Postal, is pretty awesome.
6 more days until Bayonetta 2…
Drelly: good stuff on the Otogi pick ups. Great games!
God of War.
ManHunt.
Postal as a series.
Mortal Kombat. Any of them. Especially the newer ones.
Gears of war.
The only thing that bothers anyone is that the people you are killing bear no allegiance. I don’t know if you ever noticed, but the allegiance of an enemy in any hyper violent action game/military shooter exists solely to justify simulated mass murder for our own entertainment. Hatred just lets us do that without being under the ruse of “Stop that nuke!”. Shit dude, GTA, Saints Row, any Sand box free roam game let us do that too. It isnt the main directive of the game, but it is one that is widely pursued regardless. They let us do it, and we do it . For fun. Now all of sudden a game lets us do it as the main objective and it’s a problem? No. Fuck that. That’s hypocritical as fuck.
To be in opposition of Hatred is to be against the production and release of any game that lets/makes you kill human beings in any kind of context.
Every game is what Hatred is. Hatred just skips the bullshit.
Eh, I think context matters. I can watch any number of Hollywood/TV crapfests (where I’m very “aware” I’m watching fiction) without batting an eye, but I’ll still feel uncomfortable watching something like a snuff film.
That said, this game still looks like a joke due to the perspective of choice. I can’t help but think the dev’s PR manifesto was done ironically.
Context matters only because news outlets will throw a shit storm without it. Actually, news outlets will start a shit storm even when there is context. Does anybody remember “No Russian”?
I just dont see the issue with killing a few thousand nameless people in a video game. It’s nothing I nor millions of people havent already done in different games. I really hope somebody isn’t stupid enough to bring up the “Violent games create killers!” argument either.
I don’t think anyone’s yet stated they’re opposed to this game being made, just that they’re offended by it. That’s fine imo. Everyone’s wired differently.
Now if we’re talking about the mass media, that’d be another story.
My friend has DmC, I could easily borrow it from him and beat it in a day but I won’t because is a game I’m not interested. How could you say you dislike a Dmc but still want to play it?! I had more than enough playing the demo, it’s a shitty game avoid it at all cost
What @XthAtGAm3RGuYX is saying, is that games like Hatred have every right to exist, and have more in common with other violent videogames than you might think. I absolutely agree with that.
As a small example:
In COD campaigns you mass slaughter enemy soldiers to reach an objective.
In Hatred you mass slaughter civilians to reach an objective.
Anyway you put it, you’re actively killing people. You’re either in, or you’re out.
Which flavor of killing would you like with that ice cream sundae? okay that was weird
People can be put off by Hatred’s subject matter and that’s understandable. Everybody has a choice between what videogames they want or don’t want to play.
Just throwing my input here.
A game like Hatred can find success if it’s actually a good videogame. Preferably one with badass mechanics and a sense of style.
Postal has its own flair that makes it unique and even cool.
That’s not a very good example… Yea, either way, you’re killing people. However, one case has you killing random, unarmed people for no reason other than to sate a personal appetite for murder, and the other has you fighting against an enemy ARMY who will kill you if you don’t kill them. There’s a huge difference.
I’m all for people making whatever games they want and telling the critiques to STFU, but this one is just… No.
See this is where things get interesting. Your moral compass has you attaching back stories to unnamed fictional characters. As such, we can argue deeper than that while also using real world examples as support.
I’ll give you a chance on this one to decide whether or not you really want to pull the trigger on this argument.
Answer the following
Do you know anybody who has joined the military?
If you do, what were their reasons for joining the military?
There is a huge difference killing soldiers,cups, armed people vs killing civilians Are people this stupid?! Am I missing something. What’s the point of killing people that can’t fight back?! Where’s the fun in that
Edit: Mass shooting the game, hahaha they finally made it. Doesn’t matter to me I give no fucks about western games.
Enlighten us to these differences. Explain why those armed forces members(ficitonal ones albeit) are less deserving of your sympathy than the civilians.
This has nothing to do with attaching backstories to unnamed, fictional characters because you kill without prejudice in that game. It doesn’t matter who the person is… All that matters is that they’re alive and they need to die. How many army shooters have you played in which the tutorial has you shooting at targets? In nearly EVERY case, you’re supposed to hit the enemy targets and avoid the civilian ones.
Because it’s kill or be killed in those cases. Hell, most army games have you fighting against an enemy who has outright evil intentions… No matter how you look at it, there’s no way to justify killing unarmed civilians. Why bother trying to argue this?
The civilians are only unarmed because the game probably takes place in some pussy liberal setting like California. If he tried that in a state that allows open carry the rednecks would put him down faster than a 20 car pileup in Nascar.
