but i mean there are definitely unironic racists, homophobes, and all manner of weird political and social cranks (fascists, anarchists, hardline marxists, etc) who post on these forums with a thin veneer of irony and other peoples' assumption that they must be joking as their only shield so

I wonder what the endgame for Hatred will even be.

Will it stop at shooting a bunch of innocent people, or will they go after caricatures of notable figures like the Pope, the President etc. HOW BOLD IS THIS "HATRED" GAME???

Im curious how far they want to take it.

I realize this, and I admit that I have been overdramatic. I am just surprised that it found so many stalwart defenders considering that it is both mockable and downright immoral.

Yes we do. There's an Hatred thread made by someone who felt the other threads talking about it were too focused on mocking it.

yeah it's distasteful and mockable and probably going to be bad but as bbg has shown in that thread people who don't like hatred are really, really hysterical about not liking it.

I'm actually surprised people got so up in arms over Postal 2, it really isn't truly that offensive. It's goofy as poo poo especially because everyone's a gun toting maniac, the game is totally willing to poke fun at itself, and it really isn't hateful and doesn't really punch down with its humor. It is totally dumb as poo poo but its endearingly dumb.

I also love how Postal Dude is a total loser and no respects him.

The only thing that actually offended people was that GTA3 had come out a year and a half earlier and done a massive city seamlessly while Postal 2 couldn't do maps the size of a city block with minute-long load times.

Yeah, I assumed Postal 2 ran like utter garbage when it came out due to all the negative reviews and the updated Steam version fixed the problems because the Steam version is the one I played and it plays fine.

It's because all the whiny manbabies that unironically believe that gamers have a culture latched out on to it some people get overly mad about it because of that.

Wait was this always an isometric thing? All I really remember is that one fifteen second rendered promo that somebody got up in arms about and the PCs model got changed? What the gently caress even is that game.

You know all that beautiful progress we have made as an industry, trying desperately to show the world that we are not, in fact, a bunch of manchildren that refuse to give up their toys and grow up, that videogames can be something more than mindless adrenaline-driven entertainment for hormone-overdriven teenagers?

Hatred decided to take a massive poo poo on all of that, while enjoying the sustain of GGers.

Bombshell started development as Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, an isometric shooter by the devs of the Rise of the Triad remake. Gearbox filed a lawsuit (gently caress Gearbox forever but I don't know why Interceptor/3dRealms thought they could get away with that), they had to change the protagonist and name of the game, and poo poo out that infamously bad trailer at the last minute for E3 as a result.

The game looks a lot better now that they've actually had time to fit it around its new protagonist.

It doesn't, but it's a pretty gross strike against said electronic toys, and it happens in a situation in which it'd be really grand if this sort of childish "gently caress those sissy SJWs!" bullshit wasn't on the table.

I dunno, maybe it will be all forgotten two weeks after launch, but I would have much prefferred if the whole thing got nipped in the bud; meaning that the consumer base as a whole said "we don't want your edgy mass murder simulator", something like that.

You do that by not buying the game, not crying for it to get pulled like some people did, which is silly since it looks cheap as gently caress and in all likelihood nobody cares about it aside from the silly controversy it generated. It'll profit, but only because it's probably being made extremely cheaply, such that a tiny number of sales will make them money.
