OT, day one sale for this game from me. It looks like a well-placed "Fuck you!" to both AAA titles with their big marketing budgets and contrived "complex" stories like The Last of Us, and arty-fartsy indie games with their mental masturbation stories like Gone Home. 0 Share this post Link to post

Yes, of course it did. :) Seriously, I dont care about that "game", i dont think it was a game at all. I hate minecraft with a passion, please dont bring it up. Hate that swedish fat fuck. He's the ultimate man child. There was though, and theres no way you could deny it, this strange thing with Gone Home, in that it was praised universally as some kind of gaming milestone, by the same corrupt media sites, the usual suspects, kotaku, polygon, etc, you know, the same people that posted those "gamers are dead" articles. And it won all these awards given by these conventions with connections to this same gaming media. It's like that in a way, they want to games to be more like Gone Home from now on. Which is of course a stupid notion. 0 Share this post Link to post

Nobody in Gamergate condones harassment and death threats, did you not read my previous posts? The harassment came from one dude in south america that wanted to attract attention to his website. And you know what? He was discovered and told on to the FBI by Gamergate supporters. I also said that she went to 8chan and doxxed herself. Look it up, it's all there. S/he's no victim here. 0 Share this post Link to post

fraggle Posted October 19, 2014 doomgargoyle said:You're saying that, not me. Nobody in Gamergate condones harassment and death threats, did you not read my previous posts? Yeah, that's the party line, right? The one that all of you keep repeating. Yet it doesn't add up. Even prominent gamergaters who make that claim are harassers themselves - the best example being Ben Spurr, author of the "Beat up Anita Sarkeesian" game. You yourself ignore that DooM_RO basically did exactly that with the attitude he expressed in this thread (ie. condoning death threats as "lolz"), and you failed to call him out on it or condemn it. I also said that she went to 8chan and doxxed herself. Look it up, it's all there. S/he's no victim here. Please provide evidence. It sounds like yet another ludicrous conspiracy theory to me - gamergaters seem to love making up conspiracy theories like these so that they can blame their victims. A quick Google search turned up this which uh.. doesn't actually demonstrate the claim at all. Her personal information was posted on 8chan, she posted a tweet about it and 5 minutes later received a death threat with her home address. How exactly did she "doxx" herself, again? 0 Share this post Link to post
Bucket Posted October 19, 2014 Ah, you see, there's the problem. The Gamerghazi crowd have no concrete evidence for any of their claims about anyone. They have hearsay, repeated lies and context-free chatlogs that they use to connect the dots like some conspiracy nut with too much free time and cork board. They fill the cracks in their logic with character evidence: "She's a femnazi whore and that's what femnazi whores do." That's to say nothing of their confirmation bias... If they practiced HALF the skepticism they do when they hear of a another female figure being driven from their home by death threats, GamerGate wouldn't fucking exist. 0 Share this post Link to post

Which is of course a stupid notion. What they praise is novelty and execution. Gone Home stood out by being a stand alone exercise in environmental story telling which and while environmental story telling had been used in games before it usually hadn't been expected to carry the whole experience like it had in Gone Home. Critics engaged the game on it's own terms and found a well executed short story. A bunch of nerds on the internet then decided it didn't check enough boxes in game forum that existed in their heads and decided people liked it because the SJW Illuminati needed to further the gay agenda. 0 Share this post Link to post
Blastfrog Posted October 19, 2014 EDIT: Yeah, I'm not gonna talk about Gamergate in this thread as I don't wish to derail it, go check out Firefish's thread. Captain Red said:Dude's a billionaire and has created a game that pretty much a cultural icon almost completely by himself.He stole the concept of Infiniminer and kicked it when it was down. Screw Minecraft, it's overrated and bloated. Too much grinding to get the game to be anything more than a gruelling and boring nightmare, too many annoying merchandizing deals. Don't get me wrong, it's spawned a large and creative community and is a very expandable game, but I find the lack of credit to (or even public knowledge of) its origins to be frustrating, especially when I consider Infiniminer to have been a better designed game. It was simple and primitive, sure, but it had focus and you could walk, fall, mine and build much more quickly. The limited world size was a plus, IMO, it made the world feel much less disposable and made your (and others') actions carry heavier consequences. 0 Share this post Link to post
CorSair Posted October 19, 2014 Fraggle. Just to know, there are trolls who love to shit out on both sides. And because of them, Gamergate gets collateral damage from these parties. And Wu happened to blame Gamergate movement for the actions of few retards. And I still imply, that we condemn any kind of harassment. Just to know, 8chan, 2extreme4halfchan, shitposted the fuck outta the board when someone dropped Wu's dox, (mods/admins were on sleep when this happened.) Do you think we don't care about someone? Maybe some don't, but we don't want any more shit dumped on us. And fraggle, just small question... Have you not seen OUR side, what we have to bear? No? Take a look. Hell, we even have whole tumblr blog of US, Gamergaters, getting harassed. Fraggle, please, don't generalize when there are loads of people getting death threats. We don't play as a professional victims. See this video, why some folks don't like miss Wu much. 0 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted October 19, 2014 This whole Gamergate thing is so sensationalized and lame. I just like playing video games and watch the occasional YouTube video if I really want to find info on a new release. People who expect big-name gaming magazines to proivde accurate feedback and coverage are pretty numb imo, look to gaming froums run by actual gamers or better yet, look up so small time reviews of the title you're interested in on YouTube. That's what this whole thing is about right - Accurate reporting/press? Well if you look to the big names for that shit, you're reaping what you sew. Oh also this thing reeks of basement dweller who cant get any so they want to take it out on sluts. My two cents. Anyway, back to Hatred. Um... Is thre actually anything else to say about this game that hasn't been said? Looks like a lame shock-seller. Whoopey doooooo! 0 Share this post Link to post

This is the level of idiocy your statement conveys. pulling things out of their context... crap like this is why i hate Gamersgate mixing where it should not belong. there is a big difference between my response to Gamersgate comments in this thread, and whatever you write about shooting up schools and this video game. If you read any of my posts in here you would know i never even came close to what you claim i insinuate. As a matter of fact i clearly wrote the exact opposite of your claims hoping to get some sense into people claiming games create real life violence ; Firefish: in truth i see a big degradation in people their common sense, there are no humans in these video games and you are not killing anything which lives... as a mather of fact, they used to teach this to children when they where growing up end 90's and early 2000's. If you think you are killing humans and living beings while playing video games, you clearly are losing the line between reality and fantasy, reality and fiction... A drawing of a human is not a human. 0 Share this post Link to post
dew Posted October 19, 2014 You misunderstand. The part about Doom was mocking your review of 4chan and how it's perceived by an ignorant passerby like you. Look, there are disgusting posts, therefore 4chan is disgusting. And Gamersgate must be disgusting too, because it comes from a disgusting site. Such mental shortcut will not stand. Furthermore, you claim to despise the bloated nature of Gamersgate and the fabricated/unproven claims at its core, yet it's okay for you to claim that the Hatred team is pulling strings in the gaming media to get coverage? I'm talking about the post in which you kickstarted the Gamersgate tangent that took over the thread. FireFish said:This reeks of manipulated gaming magzines and engineered reviews. Going purely on the trailer this games has less 'fake violence' and 'substance' then most adult games ever made between the year 2000 and now... Provide sources or stop with unsubstantiated claims. The developers might be playing media, knowing the moral police would jump at the bait dangled in front of them, but manipulating magazines and engineering reviews mean there is a conspiracy. No, John, you are the gamersgates. 0 Share this post Link to post
mrthejoshmon Posted October 19, 2014 As someone who does not give a flying fuck about #gamergate and despises the feminazis in every way (not all feminists are feminazis, extremist psycho nut jobs that do not believe in equality and pretty much want to destroy men are the feminazis), can somebody please tell me why I should give a shit about #gamergate and someone also needs to explain to me why you care so much that shitty gaming websites publish shitty bullshit? Are you actually telling me people give a shit about gaming journalism? EDIT: Also, why are jimmies rustled on the anti-#gamergate side of the fence about any talk of #gamergate? - Oh and this game definitely will suck, the edgy tone is just a way to sell this fucking neo-nazi abortion. 0 Share this post Link to post

Clonehunter Posted October 19, 2014 The Hatred devs are going to sleep around with GameSpot and get some critical acclaim.

Hatred will get 30 GOTY awards, cause six Columbine clones, each which will then receive a JRPG parody, and the creators will go on to create a really lackluster sequel everyone will pan vehemently, and ten years down the road people will say "The sequel wasn't good, but it wasn't terrible, either" and be met with a resounding "Eh" 0 Share this post Link to post

I haven't played the game yet, obviously, so I'm reserving some judgment. What if Hatred is a totally different game than what we're seeing? Maybe some horribly wrong-headed PR guy or advertising firm directed that video for cheap publicity. It's happened before. I'm a second-chances kind of guy. If I play this game and it turns out differently than advertised, maybe it could send a real message about being in the shoes of a psychopathic killer. It would still be controversial, but it could be for a reason. Of course, if the game is as-advertised, nevermind. Just a cheap headline-grab and it should be forgotten as soon as one hits the "Escape" key. 0 Share this post Link to post
