A game where you defend Europe from invading Muslims? Didn't it turn out that a bunch of the Hatred devs were full blown Nazis?
[QUOTE=Jack32;49710141]A game where you defend Europe from invading Muslims? Didn't it turn out that a bunch of the Hatred devs were full blown Nazis?[/QUOTE] Nah, that was overblown. A few piss poor "gaming news" sites reported on it and, if I'm remembering this shit right, their one source was a tumblr blog called [URL="http://fucknovideogames.tumblr.com/"]FuckNoVideoGames[/URL].

I morally disagree with anything that stems from the basis that women need to be covered up because men will rape them if they don't.
REMOVE KEBAB the game
Looks like shit to be honest

[QUOTE=Starlight 456;49711036]This argument literally exists only in your mind I haven't even seen other anti-"censorship" people online claim this is the reason, this is literally you and only you who thinks this[/QUOTE] What about stuff like this: [QUOTE=One Ear Ninja;49708275]I don't like the sexualization of Street Fighter. It used to be a game I play with my family, but now I just feel awkward when I see pretty much any of the female cast, especially Laura and Mika. I feel that there could have been better characters used or different ways to represent them, and there are a lot of people who feel the same way. It's not a matter or sexism or censorship; it's just making the game not entirely disgusting.[/QUOTE] We just had a 5 page argument about how some people feel uncomfortable because of a buttslap in a video game in another thread, please stop arguing that anyone who disagrees with you on anything is mentally challenged when you don't even know what you're talking about. It's very insulting. And this argument was in response to Xub's post about how people speak for her when they say that video game buttslapping stops women from playing video games. [QUOTE=Xubs;49696248]I really am getting sick of men speaking entirely on behalf of women, saying what we "do" and "don't" want. It's extremely patronizing. This entire line of argument is extremely patronizing because you're unintentionally taking away the voice of the many women who really just don't care or are actively agreeing with imasillypiggy, such as myself and my friends. Most of the women I hang out with either don't care or are actively mad that they changed it. I don't know many at all who has told me they thought it was "creepy," or "drove them away," from the game. The only time I have ever heard anyone talk from that perspective is men SAYING women think that way, not women actually telling me they think that way. When you say "all straight women" think this way it comes off as patronizing and like you think you know what's best for us. I used to debate about this stuff more often but this line of reasoning, men speaking on behalf of what ALL WOMEN want because they KNOW what ALL WOMEN want is why I stopped, it got too annoying to handle. Maybe you should really just change the way you talk about this argument because it comes off like you think you know better than even women do about themselves. This applies to more people than just yourself, since I've seen it come into play pretty much every time the argument comes up from every single man or woman who is on the other side of the argument. People seem to think there's literally no way a woman can ever think the opposite of sexual appeal towards men being gross and creepy.[/QUOTE] This is, ironically, the exact same thing people are complaining about. Self-appointed individuals speaking for others and insulting anyone who disagrees with them. I'm sorry, but you're not an expert on what other people think. Stop playing armchair psychologist and actually make an argument if you actually want to have a discourse. Here's the post I made in the other thread about this topic, just in case I wasn't being clear enough: [QUOTE=Zyler;49709483]I find it very disappointing that there are people who still think like this with regards to sexuality. It's this kind of sex-negativity that limits the bodily-autonomy of many individuals and ensures the continuation of a culture that shames women for what they wear. I'm guessing you don't have the same apprehension for the Zangief character or the "Sexy Ryu" on the previous pages of the thread. What about people who cosplay as video game characters? Are they "disgusting" as well? I understand your point of view, but if the only discernible reason for holding back our culture and not allowing people to create and wear whatever they want is that you personally feel uncomfortable, I don't think that's a justifiable solution. There are people who feel uncomfortable about Harry Potter books because they practice witchcraft, should we ban those books because a select group of people aren't able to get into it? Should we remove gay characters from games like Mass Effect because homosexuality makes a select group of people uncomfortable? What about the gay people who are uncomfortable if there's NO homosexuality in the media they consume? As far as I'm concerned, people can be offended by just about anything (including things that directly oppose each other). If we were treat everybody equally and get rid of anything that made somebody, somewhere uncomfortable, there wouldn't be anything left.[/QUOTE]
Game looks fun but for a turret shooter I probably wouldn't pay more than $10.
looks pretty average despite the title
[QUOTE=RaoulNukem;49706005]Is this studio trying to be as edgy and offensive as possible? Because it sure as hell seems so.[/QUOTE] That's kind of their shtick yeah, and it was the case since before they even funded the team, if NecroVision is any indication. [editline]10th February 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Qaus;49711596]Game looks fun but for a turret shooter I probably wouldn't pay more than $10.[/QUOTE] Good thing it's $6,66 then :v:
To be honest, this isn't edgy/interesting enough. I haven't played Hatred but the black and white look with some color exceptions (like police lights and fire) and some environment destruction seemed neat from visual angle (I hear the gameplay wasn't very good). This looks like generic military shooting gallery. Make the IS soldiers more stereotypical, play with the visual style a bit more. This is just washed out colors, soldiers and explosions.
If it was edgy it would've been "Refugee Defense" or something. This looks like a Modern Warfare setpiece stretched to a 2-4 hour game
It looked pretty good to be honest. I mean it looked boring, but if it ever happened to be on humblebundle or I got it for a reason similar, then the visuals look great.
This looks like a flash game... I can't believe the Hatred team would betray my expectations like this!! Honestly I thought they'd be done with games after Hatred. Not like, because they'd get run out of town, but because they seemed so lazy I didn't see them actually making more games.
To be fair to the game it does look more technically competent than Hatred. It'll probably be boring as fuck though.
[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;49713120]To be fair to the game it does look more technically competent than Hatred. It'll probably be boring as fuck though.[/QUOTE] Does it? It's a static turret shooter, AKA the easiest and effortless kind of game to make ever.
This could be a low effort game meant to generate more money for their next big game. Hatred 2: Not Important's electric boogaloo
[QUOTE=kilerabv;49713418]This could be a low effort game meant to generate more money for their next big game. Hatred 2: Not Important's electric boogaloo[/QUOTE] But Hatred was a low effort game meant to generate money.

They released multiple patches for hatred as well as new game modes with new maps
Looks like a parody or an approximation of a shooter game you'd see in a movie to emphasise how one of the characters is a dork.
[QUOTE=Rika-chan;49715311]How do they seem lazy?

Enemy spawns, damage, sounds, movement (only slightly though), destruction physics, vehicle spawns and checkpoints have changed a [I]shit ton[/I] since the initial release. The modding tools are now in open beta and there has been talk of potentially adding multiplayer modes. Regardless of the quality of Hatred, they're pretty damn dedicated when it comes to tending to it.

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;49718302]oh god modded hatred[/QUOTE] Something like this? [video=youtube;exE-pEB7CwI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exE-pEB7CwI[/video]
Kinda disappointed,Hatred at least looked fun(never touched it) This looks like just a boring turret shooter.
Hatred took a stand against Political Correctness (Fascism in disguise) and showed that they were not afraid to make a game that is mindless violence in an age where everything must be ponies and rainbows and "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!" This is to show that they are not afraid of the Islamic state and it's a big middle finger and then some to ISIS. D.C. is on the right path to show the world that they are not afraid and don't give a fuck what people think. Running With Scissors (Postal Devs) used to do this until they just died out and stopped pushing the envelope. D.C. says this is a very small side project they did and are working on something else as well. Finally a company that's not afraid of peoples ass hurt feelings in the age of "MUH LIBERALISM!" Good for D.C. for developing this, and bonus points for the Beachhead 2000 style and I can't wait to crank out another 20+ hours in this and I can't wait for their next game. [QUOTE=Matrix374;49719704]Kinda disappointed,Hatred at least looked fun(never touched it)[/QUOTE] Fun for 3 levels then died. The Survival Mode is where the meat of the game currently is. You should grab a copy, if you like survival modes, Hatred's will give you a challange. It currently has ranks, weapon and perk unlocks.

I think Zyler got it right when talking about how it's brand of violence was just new, so people were reacting to it because it made them feel uncomfortable. Also I'd wager that the amount of people who disregarded the violence and saw just a really boring game behind a facade of edginess outnumbered the people who genuinely believed the game shouldn't have been made. I mean, it's pretty sad that when you announce your next game people are more focused on the controversy and legit sad that this one doesn't have an accompanying gimmick rather than the actual game you are making. [QUOTE=Paxton;49721388]Finally a company that's not afraid of peoples ass hurt feelings in the age of "MUH LIBERALISM!" [/QUOTE] Actually people yelling "muh liberalism" want more freedom of expression.

[/QUOTE] I don't really think it was, but it definitely was [I]marketed[/I] as it. There were plenty of other violent things released that year that were pretty well acclaimed, like Postal 2's expansion, which DEFINITELY is not PC at all, in any way. [QUOTE]D.C. says this is a very small side project they did and are working on something else as well. [/QUOTE] If I remember right, they've said that this started out as an attempt to make a 7 day game jam game but was not completed during the deadline and was expanded. I'm not really expecting too much from it, but I do love rail shooters and turret shooters.
