It's offensive but it's such a transparent attempt to court controversy, even more so than Hatred, that I started laughing at the absurdity of it. Maybe I really am spending too much time on the internet.

I have disagreed with her a lot, but comparing her to republicans and propagandists of dictatorships is really low. - An idiot

Back on topic, you are now imagining a Hatred 2 that takes after Postal 2. With a trailer that follows the same outline as the trailer for this one, but appropriately Denser and Wackier.

Mmmmmmmmm

While this game takes the whole "murder simulator" and turn it uo to eleven(really, just look the titlte letters, the look like doom) I can see they may have a point: who many games with murder or assasins who maybe nuncase of the story manage to be likable or sympathy into the point where is less "he is a murder with a sappy backstory" and more "well he a great guy...who just happen....to kill people"or using almost any means to paint the fact that your protagonist is not much diferent of the bad guys or giving him a wrost antagonist or some high moral that make everything OK.

But....it dosent seen that way, they seen to take the "muder simulator" and put them UP to eleven, it look something a 4chan will come up

so in basic: the game can actually have a point about how assasins chararters get more sympathy despise being murders and that without tragic backstory or villian antagonist, you are just a thug...but that dosent seen the intention as far we see

[up][up][up]No, Spec Ops was all about the krauts at Yager telling you, the player(or rather, the person they imagine you are), that you're a horrible person and should be ashamed of yourself.

Er, no, I'm pretty sure it was a tragic story about a guy who didn't Know When to Fold 'Em and would rather become a mass murderer than admit that he's wrong or than take responsibility for his own actions.

If all you got out of the game is a Take That, Audience!, then I feel sorry for you.

Actually, Walt Williams, the lead writer for the game, is an American. Pretty sure Richard Pearsey, the other writer for the game, is also American.

Looks to me like you decided to make sweeping claims about some folks based on... the people you imagined they were.

No, you're just using a word that has historically been used to dehumanize a group of people. That's not better.

Let me just drop the subject with this: if you're going to railroad me into doing something bad, the least you could do is not call me a potential serial killer IRL.

Back on topic... ideas for a Postal 2-ified Hatred 2?

Sure, Postal IV.

Seriously, thoughts on the game or a possible sequel, I really don't think it would happen. The basic problem boils down to being too try hard, rather than try and sell something unique or make a good game it seems to sell on controversy alone. The mass murder simulator had been done before in games like GTA, Saints Row, better, all Hatred really does is remove any context. I think those who do buy and play the game would tire of it after a while because there doesn't seem to be anything else to add to it.
