Holy shit.

Lovecraft was a worthless racist cunt, but I still like the Cthulhu mythos.

Pirating this.

That photo. Room full'a creepy creepy males.

Please tell me that site is a joke? It's just post after post of SJW "MEN ARE EVIL" whining...Poe's Law is in full effect.

Who cares if there's one or two racist edgelords on the dev team if it's not reflected in the product though? Orson Scott Card is a homophobic asshole but I still enjoyed Ender's Game and Empire.

I honestly don't get why everyone is having such a hissyfit over this shitty trailer though. You can do this same shit in 90% of all sandbox games ever released. Does the fact that the protagonist is now an angsty Slipknot fanboy suddenly push it over the edge somehow?

Manhunt was a lot more gruesome in terms of both killing animations and plot, and that came out some ten years ago.

Yeah those guys are part of shitty political groups but what is the article talking about that any of that carrying over to the game? Portraying the main character as an unhinged psychopath is supposed to be propaganda? That's like calling Taxi Driver neo nazi propaganda.

"conspicuously lingers on the white protagonist brutally murdering and mutilating people of color"

Over half of the victims are fat balding white men. No execution is lingered on more than the others. The author does not know the definition of "mutilating".

I'm kind of glad this game exists if for nothing else than getting people to wonder how stuff like Call of Duty is any better. If you're going to make a shooter, either make it completely insane like Postal 2, Doom, or Bulletstorm, or make it totally honest about brutality like this or Spec Ops: The Line. To me, realistic, sanitized violence like Call of Duty is the worst possible middle (although kudos for that recent CoD airport level that made people think).

DQL I don't know how you can be so naive as to think that "Who cares as long as its not reflected in the product" when there might be a kind of obvious agenda behind it.

I can't wait to see what Varg Vikernes will have to say.

What can I say? The game looks clean. The engine looks solid and lots of little destruction details are everywhere.

The agenda seems obvious, make a horribly violent, unsympathetically brutal portrayal of someone going on a rampage. It kind of captures the entire spirit of Postal.

Oh? It took actual nutjobs to put all that lovingly psychopathic effort into this?

You don't say. ::gene wilder meme::

tumblr and this game should just get it over with and fuck already

Lovecraft supposedly got over his racism and recanted most of it late in his life, though it's open for debate whether or not that made him much less of a worthless cunt.

Well the ARE Polish AMIRITES>?

I think it's important to note that neo-nazis don't just hate other races. They hate cultures inclusive of other races and probably dream of shooting sprees like this. Also, the content they choose to include in the trailer wouldn't be pointed toward a white power crowd- most games wouldn't promote around their controversial faults. The tip of the hat here is its a game called "Hatred".

Games like this don't need to exist, no.

this 'topic' has been done to death by games already

columbine massacre RPG
postal
any sandbox game where you're allowed to go apeshit on pedestrians

If this game was a painting, it would be so cliche Thomas Kinkade would call you a hack.

Yah. Postal at least had great wry humour and a pleasant soundtrack. Also, it wasn't the objective of the game to murder the innocent. In fact in Postal 2 the objective was things like "pick up a carton of milk" and "pay parking ticket". This is just an anti-social murder simulator and that's it.

Nathan Explosion was exactly who I thought of, as well.

Me too.

yeah it's a real think piece, what with the shooting the asian woman in the mouth

Scapegoats don't throw light on things--that's the opposite of what they do.

That would be "Calls of Duty"

I thought those exact same words before scrolling down so *****

All someone has to do is put out a mod that changes nothing but adding fedoras to everyone and all complaints of sickening violence will vanish.

You've never properly gone on a rampage, then. It's like a stream of consciousness poem formed by the bodies of dead people.

You think the hysterical media scaring away all the publishers and distribution platforms is going to sell anything?

I'm pretty sure in today's climate, a combat-free game all about a team of puzzle-solving lesbians and their feelings would generate a controversy shit-storm so great that it would sell millions of copies.

don't forget the death threats...so many death threats.

from 'definitely not homophobic or misogynistic' dudes.

It's so hard being a victim in today's fast-paced world!

In the future:

Current events news reporting sources will consist entirely of blog posts.

All google image search results on any subject will be nothing but mock motivational posters.

The law of physics will be rewritten so that momentum = mass x (internet death threats). The Westboro Baptist Church will rise up as the most powerful movement in history, eventually uniting the planet under the God Fag Hate Emperor.

The funny thing is, a lot of current news reporting sources ARE from blog posts. There's at least two weekly notes in many news sites that claim as fact some made up bs somebody posted on facebook.
