Timely as well, today The Sun runs a story titled Gaming as addictive as Heroin
UK newspaper The Sun has been getting stick today for an article it published which carried the headline: "Gaming as ad…
Literally, cannot understand why newspapers aren't held properly accountable for the stories, especially after the years of bother they've been in.

New controversy over this game, Hatred:
You play a man who runs around blasting civilians for no other reason than he is full of Hate. Naturally, it's caused a ruckus.
The developers are pretty mild mannered about the whole thing, clearly having gotten the attention they wanted, saying the game is no different than others with the exception that it doesn't bother justifying why you're doing what you do. The game uses Unreal Engine 4 and Epic has already requested it's logos's be removed from the trailers.

Are we sure this is real? It feels either like someone is just trying to go for the obvious controversy in the hopes of quick sales, like Postal as Briareos mentions, or alternatively someone who is doing this as a commentary on gaming. If it's the latter, the attitude feels wrong and it's too close to a real thing. Except that might prove the point... likely just someone hoping to ride a wave of controversy.

hmmm this sort of thing is a bit weird id liken it to a film like the human centipede a media product that's not very good that try's to sell it self on controversy alone. They are not going whole hog though, I'm surprised there not killing kids too (I suppose that would get it banned). I can imagine this game working well with an angry birds 3 stars type scoring system where not letting anyone escape ups your score as just shooting things that don't fight back would get pretty boring pretty quick.Last edited by Lebowski; 17-10-2014, 10:00.

That Hatred game doesn't really seem to glorify violence and murder any more than your typical Ubisoft game, CoD (Airport scene comes to mind) or GTA for example. Is murdering with a "reason" or a "justification" (government, religion, personal gain) more acceptable than murdering for hatred?Last edited by Guts; 17-10-2014, 20:33.
