It has teen angst, violence and even more violence. It will probably sell a lot of copies.

if it had less gameplay, they would instead be talking about how it's an important artistic statement and the next level of how gaming can challenge our preconceptions

That explains why this game feels like it's made by people who aren't holding anything back and telling us how they really feel about the average person despite it making them look like psychotic lunatics

In this game brutalizing civilians is the primary objective instead of just something optional for the player to do between missions

so basically they've just removed the wink and nudge from "well we're not TELLING you to go on an insane massacre of innocents, our game just happens to allow that if a person were to want to for some reason"

well yeah context and execution is pretty important


Picking a fight with an entire town in Skyrim like some crazed viking rear end in a top hat is one thing

kneeling down over a weeping woman and putting a gun in her mouth to execute her is not reaaaally on the same level here

maybe the GTAIV and V are different, but you generally don't have extended execution scenes where civilians are begging for their life, either; and Manhunt had at least 1)you murdering other murderers, and 2)a (poorly executed, ill presented) running man-esque point it was trying to make about media and detachment from brutal violence.

Also, they weren't made by literal neo-nazis trying to pretend the game isn't what they really feel.

This has been a gbs 1.0 post.

i was a nerd who worked in a gamestop about 10 years ago and there were the manhunt games back then. i never played them but we were under unofficial orders to warn parents away from it. like ma'am you should really reconsider buying this for your 13 year old.

but this is one of the more extreme games i've seen. i've seen jihadi and nazi games. but those are badly made even by the standard of duke nukem 3d mods which is what they were if i remember right.

Hotline Miami is essentially not any different from this, it's just that its art-style and story distract from the pretty horrific violence you commit.

Also Hotline Miami is a well-designed fun game and has a good soundtrack. That helps too.
