Why all the hate for Hatred?

The devs rode the controversy train and got way higher sales than they ever would have had the press not lost their minds over the game. Pretty smart if you ask me.

It’s smart in a Kim Kardashian kind of way but just as morally bankrupt and certainly not to be admired.

Thanks for letting us peasants know just how low we are for not subscribing to your clearly superior tastes, because how dare anyone find any form of enjoyment in something deemed “unsavoury” by those with their imagined high ground.

you’re welcome

are you seriously enjoying this game ? i mean even if we just judge the gameplay on its own it’s a hollow cash grab nothing more

i’ve liked some terrible games too so i am not judging but, wait, no, actually yeah i do have superior taste to people who enjoy this game, i think that would be fair to say

Time and time again—study after study—it has been shown there is no link between violent games and violence in the real world (same for sexism, for that matter), so why you’re worried about games corrupting the youth I can’t understand. As has been said before in this thread, if you can’t distinguish between fantasy and reality, you need professional help. An anecdotal piece of evidence: When I was young I played all sorts of violent and vulgar games (CoD, Conker’s Bad Furday, Wolfenstein, to name a few) and yet I’m not violent—quite the opposite actually, I try to avoid all forms of violence—or some horrible person. I knew video games were just that, games. I knew they weren’t real and that the things you did in them weren’t something you do in the real world. Kids aren’t complete sponges, they know the difference between make believe and real life.

Oh and, seeing as this game is rated AO, the responsibility is on the parents who buy M+ rated games for their kids, not everyone else.

you’re whole post is extremely childish and reeks of selfishness and contains the same garbage gamers keep regurgitating whenever someone dares to question their favorite past time activity

I played violent games in my youth too and haven’t gone on a rampage either, that doesn’t mean everybody is like you and me. Some may be messed up already others don’t have people in their life to teach them better. How much time do parents get to spend with their kids these days ? Don’t get me wrong a lot of parents are selfish and childish, too, so they are certainly to blame for the crazy little ***** they are (barely) raising, too.

But we, be it teachers, coaches, friends, relatives, neighbors etc. have a responsibility to children who grow up around us, too. Without good rolemodels they will grow up (well not mentally) to become selfish, entitled and good for noth… oh wait it has already happened.

For the mods, if any part of this post is seen as too confrontational I apologize and will understand if it’s removed (referring to the peasant bit), but I felt I needed to reply to this.

i didn’t even want to respond to your post because quite frankly i know it won’t lead to anything but i thought maybe i should make my position on this soon to be forgotten mess of a game clear before i never respond in this thread again to the people defending it

are people so scared to express their opinion that they have to apologize before doing so just in case?

as **Colin Powell once said:

“Trying to get everyone to like you is a sign of mediocrity.”

have a good day everybody
