The (former) developers of Prey 2 know how to use a Johnny Cash song the right way.
Hatred is interesting in the fact that I don’t find the game as insulting as the developers.
The fact that the developers have acted all high-and-mighty about their skills and belittling story-based games sickens me.
Who do they think they are?!
I don’t get it!
They publicly act as if they are superior to everyone, for what reason?
Attention, I’m sure.
Congratulations everyone we are slowly being introduced to the new generation of games.
Say goodbye to games that tell an emotional, humanizing story about a man’s life gone awry.
No more of those. Now we’ll just get a shooter about killing people because we want to be “cool.”
I also hate when people state that “you kill people in other games!”
It is all about context.
Military and Police will, at times, need to act.
Does that mean I, as a game designer, can shoot people because someone in another job can?
No.
Why? Because they are protecting people! They have a reason!
I mean, even Call of Duty has more substance than Hatred just because the protagonists of Call of Duty games are at least fighting for something!
Why couldn’t the developers create an emotional action-adventure about a man’s life falling apart?
I may actual care to play that, but nope they decided to create a Virtual Murder Simulator.
Mark my words, it will be the first of many.
(If you are in defense of this game, feel free to argue my statement, just keep it civil).
