DL Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcIsEcZQrLc So you might have heard of this. I am legit interested in playing this, for one sole reason. UNADULTERED VIOLANCE WITH NO RHYME OR REASON. Also killing spree. What do yall think?

goddamnit names are a pain Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 ... It's funny and pathetic at the same time. Neat. I can just picture parents buying this for their kids like it's just another gun game. Ugh. It's really kind of disgusting when you think about it, but the idea is unique, I'll give it that. lol it has some merit but no, not really. This is pretty much one of the most disgusting concepts for a game I've ever seen. And it's probably not the only one of its kind. Nah, I'm just going to go ahead and say fuck no and leave. Good day sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 It DID get people's attention, so props to it for that, eh? XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 People have been doing stuff like this in games for years, this one is just way more direct about it than most of them. Video games don't cause violence, so whatevs, people can play what they want. I'm not that interested in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goddamnit names are a pain Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 It DID get people's attention, so props to it for that, eh? XD I suppose. …sigh…the forms of media that the world devours is disgusting at times. Opinions, I guess. But if you can give me one reason this isn't a disgusting concept, I'll give you a dollar. other than "money" People have been doing stuff like this in games for years, this one is just way more direct about it. Video games don't cause violence, so whatevs, people can play what they want. I'm not that interested in this. I agree that they aren't a SOURCE of violence, it's the people. But then we can say the same thing about drugs. And everything else bad in the world. Video games adversely affect some people, and they should stop playing them if this is the case. But some people don't even recognize what's happening to them. I'd say that sometimes all it takes is one game like this. =T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconus297 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Spree killer simulator? Sounds fun. What I've been hunting for is a real serial killer simulator- creatively snaring and disposing of people, who react realistically to every action . . . that would be fun.

Agro Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I too like being a murderous psychopath that kills men women AND children! /sarcasm I have no interest in the game. The creators clearly have nothing more to say than "HEY LOOK WE CAN BE AS VIOLENT AND OFFENSIVE AS WE WANT." If they actually appeared (through any means given to them including interviews and trailers) to offer any nuance to their game, I may have had some remote curiosity in it, but that's clearly not the case. All in all: feels way too preteen-misguided-rebeliossness for anything worthwhile to come of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there's a lot that goes in to how aggression is turned into action. Environment, past history, biology, and LITERALLY ANY OTHER MEDIA also play a part. There are always multiple factors involved in an action, which is why blaming video games for violence is overdoing it. At the same time, saying they don't affect violence altogether would be an underestimation. edit: stupid double posts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I was honestly surprised it wasn't a joke. This looks like it was developed by some psychotic 12 year old. Oh well, I'm not gonna buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I think I might, if we get more information about it before release. I'm sure SOMEONE will try to interview the creator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Da fuq is that the dude from Metalocalypse? I know it's not but could you get anymore stereotypical "scary" violent guy? I mean damn, listening to that guy whine in the start was the most cliche, unintelligent mush I've seen in a while, it made me cringe so bad. And the game itself looks so boring. Just violence for violence sake. I mean, GTA, that's a game that was ultra-violent and murder-y. But it was still a fun game, and wasn't nearly as badly done. Wasn't quite so graphic and....fake gritty. Graphic violence is one of the weakest forms of entertainment in my opinion. Sure, sometimes it makes sense and is done decent. But when it's just "lol look at how excessive we can be" it's pretty terrible. But especially when it's done like this. All dark and gritty and "We're so serious and intense guys RIGHT? RIGHT!?" Like...what's the game... Madworld. That was really violent and such but at least it was done a bit more clever and...whimsical I suppose. Never getting this game, looks like there's no substance. If I want to go on killing sprees in games there's many other much better options that are actually fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XP From what I've seen it has no substance. That and the fact that generally trailers showcase the most important parts of a game. This showed Gritty McMurderPants being his "super gritty" self, and then a bunch of running and shooting and excessively violent special kill scenes. It does not lead me to believe there's much at all to this game. I could be wrong but from what I have observed, this is the conclusion I've come to. Just the horrid dialogue in the start makes me think this game is bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a game needs much more though, at least for me, it'll be fun to kill people for no good reason. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Polygon interviewed him when the trailer first came out. Apparently the head of the developer likes some neo nazi pages on facebook. So that's cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Anti-immigrants to be precise. I actually feel this game is bringing us back to the simplistic roots of gaming. Gettin more and more excited for it~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Eh, neo-nazi seems to be a bit of a stretch. Xenophobic, I'd say. Either way, the game is icky. The game could have been made by Gandhi. It wouldn't make it any better. Although I legit want to make a parody of this crap now. Take the original trailer and monologue, but then he steps outside and it's a world of rainbows and unicorns and you have to run away from all the smiles and happiness or you lose your edge.

goddamnit names are a pain Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 First impressions are important. So far I've learned that first impressions are "important" for business, but like 50% of the time they make a product look like something it's not. I don't look too deep into things before giving them a shot for a reason; I don't want to expect things and get disappointed, which I tend to do. Totally on topic. If you want OT: If this honestly helps you relieve a lot of stress you should probably see a doctor. I can name plenty of other things that may help alleviate stress. Hell, plenty of other violent games that do so. This one is just disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT generally it makes the product loom MORE interesting than it really is. So if the first impression makes you think "This is gonna suck" there's more chance that it won't be good. And yeah, as I said before. Many other violent games do it so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
