Fighter Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 If we are just entirely honest with ourselves, people like violence. We dress it up with all sorts of contexts, some elaborate and beautiful to make it righteous violence, but lets be real we then savor the acts themselves. It's always been part of fiction. Some primal instinct in us that probably attributes success in violent domination with success at survival is positively stroked by the experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithe Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I'd have to argue the point with GTA3 on upwards. While people could go on mass civilian killing sprees, they were never the point of the game or actively encouraged as part of the story or gameplay. Rival/Random gangs, criminal groups, and the like yes. But the civilians that were walking around were more bystanders to the rampages then targets. 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Gfted1 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Ah, so now the issue is that they are civilians? Im going to tell you guys a story that will make several of you run for your retch buckets. Every single day of the week, for a couple hours per session, I play D3. During that time I kill tens of thousands of mooks, and I like it. Sometimes I will kill them individually, sometimes I will purposely trap a bunch in a Caltrop and then use a Cluster Arrow to crit 20 of them at once. I laugh and laugh and clap my hands together as huge numbers jump off them and they die. These poor bastards are just minding their own business and here comes a big ole meanie of a Demon Hunter blowing them up. Why? Dunno. It makes me giggle? For the possible loot drop? The world may never know. 2 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonek Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) So does anybody know if Leigh Alexander the protagonists shooting is automated, because presumably one still has to press a button to shoot or not, making the choice of whether to go on a shooting spree, what targets to choose etcetera, purely the players. The same as every other game. I remember in Ultima 4&5 self righteously slaying the demonic Balrons and their demonlings, great battles against fearsome opponents, then I played Ultima 6, found out they were a thinking, talking and relatable species and not subhuman scum. I had stormed into their holiest shrine, stolen a great relic and their homeworld was being destroyed by my actions. Ha, great games. Edit: There was a part of my Avatar that just liked the accomplishment and the trial of reactions and decisions that combat in the earlier Ultima's was. Edited October 17, 2014 by Nonek Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes.

I'll assess your posts over the next 6 weeks and if I see a concerted attempt from you to show me that this game won't have a negative impact on your psyche then I don't mind if you play Hatred.

Meshugger Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 That Hatred trailer looks pretty boring, imo. That's really the thing. Many of us played the South Park game, which was tasteless and horrible, but also hilarious and sardonic. Hatred looks rather pointless. Are the redeeming qualities that you can kill people and they will scream for mercy? Where is the audience for that? Why do people listen to Cannibal Corpse and Dying Fetus?
