These games barely make a big impact on anyone at all tbh,  it shouldn't be such a big deal.  It's not as if you HAVE to buy it.  Don't like it,  then ignore it.  It's not as if they will stop making GTA games

Zordon, it looks like a reskin of dead nation with the zombies running away and screaming  and shooting units that come after you. it also does punisher torturekills where you do a anim to finish off some enemies.

This is like a higher budgeted, 3D version of those flash games where you run around and shoot people till you die and repeat it all which makes the backlash I've seen about it both infuriating and hilarious ("I'm gonna quit video games waah!").

It's so EDGY to the point of self parody that I honestly hope that it has a boss who is like, the complete opposite of this guy in the trailer. Like a super optimistic captain of a Spirit Squad who attacks you with sunshine and color.

I found it more funny than anything tbh (the game's concept at least). I know, I should be ashamed.

"Realistic" graphical depictions will certainly hit people more than a 16-bit replica of it. Besides, they basically state that the intention is to shock so they've seemed to succeeded in that facet regardless of how anyone may feel about it.

the most ironic thing about the game is the reactions from some people towards it is eerily similar to what jack thompson was doing against gta.

Why is everyone going "social justice warrior" on the game?
It's like GTA with better graphics and more killing
The only scene I found particualry shocking in the trailer is the "execution" style murder anyway...
God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off. ~Tyler Durden; Fight Club

I would by this game in a heartbeat if you could dress up as Boogerman and throw your boogers at people, with finisher animations having you fart in their faces.

not a fair comparison, gta has tons of other stuff you can do besides killing. this is taking the "killing innocents" mechanic of gta and making it its own game.

This is a good write-up about the game.

If they had their way we would be burning games like they did with comics.
Yeah, I dunno about all that. That's a really disingenuous comparison; there's a fairly significant boundary between "this has no reason to exist/this shouldn't exist" and "this deserves to be destroyed so it no longer exists because it is poisoning the childrens". Like, I dunno, here's a bad comparison: the difference between saying the New 52 shouldn't exist and actually going out and burning down DC Comics, say.

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.
Not... really on the latter; it was primarily fear of the former, as well as fear of them promoting general delinquency, and of course the worry that Batman would make children gay.

If the game is bult around that, than that's the point of the game, it's a mechanic like any other
No one bats an eye about violent movies, no one bats an eye about books with questionable themes, so why do people still "flip" when a new violent game comes out?

Do people really need to waste their time to think deeply into moral justifications for being against a game when you can simply call it "Stupid" and "Try-hard"?

I'd hate to see their B-slasher movie discussions.

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.

It's a silly game for adults. If an adult wants to buy a game like this and there's a dev willing to develop the game for him and other people who may want to play it then go ahead and just release the game.

I don't like it, but I don't think it should not exist at all or anything like that. There are books and movies where the bad guy is the protagonist, even real news have them as the protagonist all the time, but the moment a videogame lets you play as one is suddenly an issue?

I don't really care about the whole premise, it sounds boring. The gameplay also looks generic as hell and the music and graphics are boring. I can totally see why they went for the shock factor, it's because their game really doesn't stand a chance, but recurring to a shock factor will eventually devalue the game's worth as it gives the (I assume correct) impression that the game has nothing else going for it.
pls

That's actually what I like about games like this. Or about ANY video game - I get to do in the game what I would NEVER EVER do in real life...shoot people, rob people, race in cars at dangerous speeds, hunt goblins and demons, and yes - have disgusting, casual sex with strangers. I don't think that it "disrespects" me as a woman as all.

No it doesnt matter.

You cant in good faith tell someone "this shouldnt exist" because you are offended or dont enjoy the themes presented.  It seems like a shit game, and it might be one, but there might be people that enjoy it. Nothing game wise or book wise needs to adhere to a standart minimum of ART or whatever to be allowed to exist.  And yes i do think that starting to argue that something shouldnt exist because of ethics or whatever is a step towards trying to censor or ban things like it happened with the books.  They took your porn and horror comic books and it completely neutered the american comic book for decades until Vertigo started pushing decent comics for adults again. Start having games having to justify existing by some random premise like a game moral code and you will do the same to them.

Does this game have the right to exist?
-Yes.

Is it art?
-maybe in the same sense that drawing a penis on a bathroom wall with a sharpy is art.

Are the developers trying to make a quick buck and gain infamy by manufacturing controversy?
-Yes.

Is the SJW and Angry-Mom crowd playing into the developers hands by blogging about this game?
-Sadly yes.

Is it stupid?
-So very much yes. Yes times infinity

Will I buy it?
-Oh hell no. Maybe I would have if I was still an angsty 16 year old who browsed 4chan for the lulz. But I'm not. I have bills and a house and all that shit now. I don't think I would buy this game for $4.99 on a steam sale.

Do I think less of people who enjoy this kind of thing?
-Well lets just say I wouldn't let you watch my cat over the weekend.

And to anybody who picks up this game I say, Congratulations! you're probably now on some kind of federal watch list.

because the whole point of this is violence, theres no other plot, like most of the other stuff

basically because its trying so hard to get negative attention like this, its getting it. not that hard to understand.

I take it you've never watched a single exploitation movie in your life, with wonderfully deep plots like "teenagers get lost in the middle of nowhere, family of cannibals kill them all," or "guy kills a bunch of women to use their body parts to construct the perfect woman."
