Two months after Destructive Creations' new game Hatred was announced, it's now on Steam Greenlight, where gamers can vote for the title to make sure it'll be available on this platform. A brand new teaser trailer was released to support the launch of the campaign, showing among others destructible environments in the game.
A game about killing people.
This game was just gratuitous violence. I don't know why it was rated AO. It's no worse than a GTA killing spree, Hotline Miami, or even the 'No Russian' COD mission. Reminded my of a weaker Dead Nation except no zombies.
I'm surprised Switch is getting this and PlayStation/Xbox isn't. The game was basically Postal with better graphics and more realism.
A look at five games that gamers loved but most critics hated.
Advent Rising is another good example. It got panned by critics but it has a good story and I enjoyed playing it. The graphics are dated, the enemies all look the same, but it was made in 2005 so what do you expect? I wish they made the sequel so I could finish the story but I think the critics killed it off.
Joanna Mueller writes: "Since the 1980's, video game advocates have been arguing for the protection of games as a medium of free speech. Frankly, I consider myself in that camp, but just because a game can push against the boundaries of common decency doesn't mean it should. Especially if the developer is just hoping to ride the wave of pearl clutching controversy to the bank."
Nothing wrong with pushing for controversy, but the game still has to be worthwhile. Lots of games in the 90s showed that.
Because the novelty will eventually wear off and the audience will eventually wise up.
So what? If there's a market for something then why should anyone care if it gets filled, as long as it's not something illegal? You can dislike so-called "edge lord" games all you want (in fact, you can like or dislike whatever you want, full stop) but even if games like Hatred are just trying to take advantage of anti-SJW backlash to make a quick buck, the fact that they exist at all is important in a culture that's becoming increasingly puritan and censorship orientated. Art is supposed to push the envelope. It's supposed to make you think. And even if all a game makes you do is think about why certain people are so desperate to ban it.
There has to be some story/event that trigger him to kill all civs. Or he's just crazy? I don't really mind the idea, as long as its fun, not just mindless killing civs without any reason.
Hope this crap tanks
The fact that people are hoping their are children NPC's in this game, is exactly why this garbage needs to stay nothing more than a bad idea.
Lol I don't think anyone thinks this game is going to revolutionize gaming through storytelling. And I'm pretty sure that's not the point. It looks stupid it looks like it could be disturbingly entertaining but it also looks repetitive and shallow.
Its a game for crying out loud there's an age rating on these things if your hyper sensitive don't buy it. I'm buying it cause it looks fun.
Oh hell wait I'll be judged in today's society these pixels I'm shooting up represent what in am in RL ;). Not just me winding down after a hard day having a bit off fun.
If i choose that's shooting cops at the mall and the pissing up a churches wall (God forbid) I'll do it, Hell its my free time and this is just a game.
People seriously need to start winding there necks in. Take your self to an Art Gallery and recoil in the horror at the the Artist expressing them selfs;).
Then download and watch A Serbian Film after watching that you will never be the same again :D. There's a hell off a lot more disturbing out there than a bit off fun at the end off the day shooting a few pixels on a screen ;).
