A new postal like game was announced. it seems to be a murder simulator in the vein of dead Nation.

warning: violence and cringe worthy dialogue, straight up sounds like something a 12 year old would write.

Dozens of ethic crusaders have already taken to blogs and comments claiming that there are no ethical reasons for the existence of violent videogames and asking for it to be banned.

Are you an angsty, borderline psychotic social Darwinist with a persecution complex?

Well then we have just the game for you!

I'm sure  this will be a big hit with the trench coat mafia crowd and kids who are 2edgy4u but that's about it.

I hope Shadow the Hedgehog, DmC Dante, and the members of Papa Roach are playable characters.

I'm also under the impression that people keep neglecting data from the game, do you guys know how PotS made his original characters? He actually studied every single game he referenced, down to the core. Doing this properly requires understanding how the original system was made, not just winging it.

ive seen some people arguing that there were no ethical reasons for this game to exist. And they were actually serious. Some people are just plain ridiculous.

If they had their way we would be burning games like they did with comics.






Lets burn the louvre before it poisons young minds.

Some of you maybe saw that I am quite active on destructoid now since a while and goddamn article and the article itself already. For me it feels like its the same as with Mortal Kombat, Postal and yes Carmageddon too when people started pointing their finger and yelled how absolutely horrible such a game is.

Also nice to see that we can be on the completely same page sometimes Iced. That with the photos there of the Nazis burning art is a good comparison.

Something controversial which reflects a very dark / horrible problem in our civilization through a video game always made people fearing it could affect the youth in a negative form and they tried to ban games or were successful with that. Doom..yes the old ms-dos version even was "unbanned" here in Germany just a couple of years ago as example..games like Mortal Kombat are still on the index.

That trailer there is an eyebrow riser and I can understand people feeling sick when they see it..but at the same time every fucking big gaming site like dtoid or Polygon writes about it and basically promotes a game which would otherwise not be so known today already, one day after the trailer was released. Its like the big gaming websites use such a controversial trailer similar to how tv channels like fox news use every fucking scandal to talk about it like they are big news and gain viewers through it. Double Standards / Moral at its best.

Those arent Nazi, in the forties the Americans convinced themselves they had to be ethic warriors and destroy anything that might influence  the kids to be violent/sexist  etc .

They destroyed every comic they could in giant piles while celebrating and praying around the fire. Its the reason only super heroes are big sucesses in america while other countries have dozens of publication types, the superheroes were allowed to remain as long as they obeyed to the moral rules.

read more about it here, the situation was known as "The seduction of the innocent"
http://www.psu.edu/dept/inart10_110/inart10/cmbk4cca.html

Situation was kickstarted because of panic related to adult comics with murder sex etc. ( in other countries comics are of many genres including several adult ones )

This event ended hte Golden Age, and after it started the silver age of comics.

Restarting the Superhero Genre
In 1953, Marvel tried to bring back superheroes. In Young Men #24 the three big Marvel heroes made their return. Captain America, The Human Torch, and Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner all had stories that explained what they were doing since World War II. It told that Captain America had become a history teacher and he had his young sidekick Bucky as a student. But then his old arch-enemy The Red Skull re-appeared and was now teaming up with the Commies. So Captain America and his sidekick sprung back into action to stop his evil plans.

The Human Torch was captured by gangsters and buried underground in the Navada Desert. Once America started testing the A-bombs there, the radiation made him more powerful than before. The Human Torch then freed himself and tried to find his sidekick Toro. He found out that the gangsters had sold Toro to the Commies. The Human Torch then had to re-capture his young sidekick Toro and free him from the brainwashing that the Commies gave him.

Prince Namor had nothing happen to him after the war. He simply went back to his underwater kingdom until America called for him once again. The American Navy had a problem with some of their ships mysteriously vanishing. They suspected the Commies were up to no good again. They called upon The Sub-Mariner to investigate. He found out the cause of the sinking ships was not the Commies, but were sunk by robots from the planet Venus! After the Sub-Mariner defeated their commander the robots went back to Venus, promising never to return to earth.

Sadly, Marvel's attempt to bring back superheroes was not successful. Shortly after this DC tried to bring back superheroes too and they were a success. This event is called the 'Silver Age' and you'll read about it in the next section.


Ethical cleansing of culture is beneficial to no one but the pundits that want to get rich from inciting panic.

official website said:
The question you may ask is: why do they do this?

These days, when a lot of games are heading to be polite, colorful, politically correct and trying to be some kind of higher art, rather than just an entertainment – we wanted to create something against trends. Something different, something that could give the player a pure, gaming pleasure.

So we decided to make a game as crude, gray, and controversial as possible in an attempt to provide entertainment. And that's how we came up with the idea of a game about causing mass homicide. Preorder now and you'll get the College Campus DLC pack.

Well, you can always mod the game's NPCs and give them military outfits. Then you'll be murdering people dressed like soldiers just like in COD, except some of them forgot to bring their guns with them :))

That will ease the mind of the people playing this since they're worried about being judged by... eh dunno who, nor why they should care to begin with.

well i know youre being facetious but i remember the general idea being that the killing of enemy combatants is simply seen as miltary action and the killing of noncombatants is just straight terrorism so this is different than cod tbh

i willing judge people who would play this, cause it looks so shit haha

It only brings so much flak towards the game because it's the main point of it. Nobody gave a crap about you being able to kill civilians in Sleeping Dogs, and you're an undercover cop there which makes things even worse (And the only article about this was from some feminist nuthead so whatever).

All this drama is so 90's it makes people look like a parody from the dads against MK from back then.

EDIT: And yeah, game looks like shit. I wouldn't play it at all :P
pls
