And you posted a link to Kotaku.
At least post a link to something that isn't biased subjective "journalism".

diehard Hatred fans out there

I'm not going to click that link but good, I wouldn't want to help them make money by a campaign of being offensive

and nobody was surprised.

I really didn't want to use this gif. I hate Firefly.

on one hand, the edgemeister tears are delicious
on the other, i dont want this to set a precedent
so i'm conflicted


are they really trying to use the "well other people did the same thing toooo!" argument

well we might as well not let people loving, watch city of god too if we're gonna be censoring violent stuff because apparently people can't handle it

I like how GTA 5 gets banned for violence on woman while Ride to Hell: Retribution gets away scotch free. I like how people believe that Video game creates violence despite that a lot of violence where done by real things, not video games. I like humanity.

forget humanity

its more so that these guys are TRYING to start controversy stuff with this game.
I'm pretty sure valve just used "being too violent" as a excuse so that they didn't have to be a part of this game.

its bad for just being really distasteful content.
violence isnt the real issue.

even gamers who love violence can tell the difference between good and bad violence. companies shouldn't make complete shock value stuff for the sake of being shock value stuff.
you should be glad. gamers made the decision here. we SHOULD hold the power to what kind of stuff gets made and the quality of it.

SJW are split on this one. some want freedom of expression, some want to just kill violence. neither are the issues here lol

the problem here is that the game has no justification to exist, the only objective is to kill people, and this is the objective because you're playing as the edgelord who hates everyone. there's no well thought out story and no features or anything to make this game look unique. would you play this? would you feel good about playing this? would you be inclined to complete this game to the end?

surely with some changes to the story, objective, and other things this could be made into a great game. what if instead of playing some character that makes you hate yourself, how about you play as a guy who is being blackmailed by some police official? surely this character would feel actual hatred towards this man, and this character wants to have his revenge because this blackmailer ruined his life, perhaps had his family killed or made his wife and children leave him in some way and is stalking him. this would give this game a goal, to kill this blackmailer. on the way to getting to him, you could get weapon upgrades or different weapons, helping you to blast away anyone who tries to stop you. if you kill civilians, nothing happens. however if you kill people who are trying to stop you, you get points etc and the ability to live to the end of the level of course. before the final boss there could be a level that is fully interiors - this man's headquarters or whatever. then once you get to him, you could have a choice to finally kill him or leave him be, this could lead to different endings. maybe once you deal with him there could be a plot twist that reveals that this guy had a boss who told him to do this and you have to get to that guy too or whatever.

what i'm saying is that they could have done better.
all the story is:
"im the edge lord and i hate everyone time to kill them all for no reason"

the developers have no imagination and are terrible people in general. do not support this game.

not to mention it's dark as hell and gta and postal made it fun, or at least more fun than this
