what if it big twist at the end is that they all were carrying super ebola and you saved the rest of humanity?

And all the cops are shooting to wound, not to kill. And he lives in a place with no death penalty

It's a twist that's kind of hard to fit into his whole "I'm a psycho who want to kill innocent people just because I'm a psycho"-monologue at the start of that trailer though, no?

I obviously dont have time to watch embedded youtubes but you seem to be thinking too narrowly here. At the end of the day the joke could be on him and its a lesson for us all.

Possibly.

Still not playing a game where I stick my gun into the mouth of an innocent woman, begging for her life, and pull the trigger though.

That honestly made my stomach turn a bit.

Go play Spec Ops: The Line.

It's it -EV to read Minus EV's posts?

There's a zero punctuation from some time ago where he reviews a sort of similar murder sim game. Has a bit where he talks about how poorly you would come off trying to talk about how enjoyable the game is at your work water cooler. Wish I could find it.

Just starting this so let's keep it relatively spoiler free

Stop reading anything on the internet and just finish the game ASAP. It's not that long but my God it is a masterpiece.

Also, I'd lay money against Hatred ever being released retail. If it's not a pure prank(i.e. no game at all, just a trailer), it's pretty much a prank, and there's no way that ends up as an actual game in a box you can buy.

Fairly impressive amount of coding work to go into a pure prank. It seems like they are pulling for some kind of Postal marketshare, but I do think they intend to try to make money on it

^I've read basically as much as Goofy says here, so I know there's 'something' to it beneath the surface but I don't know enough spoil it. Fortunately the gameplay is fairly enjoyable so hope to get through it relatively soon.

master- I'm saying that I'm not sure any of that is actual gameplay footage, it could be all rendered, there's no game at all. That video is 100% of the available footage because the whole thing is some weird troll who knows how many levels deep.

It might get canned somehow, but I'm pretty sure at this moment it's real and someone is planning to release it.

the isometric view stuff looked like gameplay, where he was just running around gunning semi-top down. That's what reminded me most of some of the generic browser-based java zombie games

I've killed my share of innocent people in the GTA emergency room with a huge smile on my face, but that trailer makes even me a bit depressed.

I wonder what it must be like working on such a game.

First thing I thought about was my past rampages in GTA as well. I think it's very different though, it's just a ridiculous thing to do on the side which doesn't advance gameplay at all. Also GTA is set in a world that, imo, was non realistic, and escapist. This trailer made it seem like they were trying to go for as real as possible.

Killing pedestrians in GTA is a choice unlike Hatred where it's the objective.

How miserable/privileged do you have to be to complain about Humble Bundles and free games (i.e. Xbox Games with Gold)? That's the latest trend I see on deals websites, mainly Slickdeals. "Oh Humble Bundles suck now", "Come on MS, give us something better!" as if companies have some burning obligation to give you things for cheap/free. Like, this week's Humble Bundle is fairly weak compared to some others as it consists of all these weird betas/subscriptions but you can still get Lone Survivor for $1 (really $0.01), which is normally $15 and well reviewed (I personally didn't like it but well worth trying for that price), and the $6 level looks pretty good given the usual prices of those games. I don't necessarily agree with them, but I can understand when people say that free, crappy mobile "games" are going to undermine the game industry since it seems like people are becoming more and more unwilling to pay for stuff.

People have all the right to say humbe bundle is crap now and it has nothing to do with entitled people.

They offered a specific type of service as their business model (and not as charity), bundles of good games for extremely cheap. They now switched to a different type of service and raised the price. The service they offer right now is objetively worse, especially if your reason to choose humble was the price. While there were no better alternatives back then, right now humble is not a first choice store, due to worse prices compared to the competition.

People have no right to demand that others offer the same low prices or that humble should go back to the old ways. But they have all the right to say their current model is crap compared to the old one.

Sales don't happen in a vacuum, they have a a history and people based their decisions on that history. Stores have no obligation to give me cheap stuff, but I don't have any obligation to spend money in their store either. If humble didn't want people to remember their old sales, they could have rebranded with a different name, but they didn't.

Also games with gold are not free games. They are an incentive to get more people to buy a subscription. There is nothing free in paying 50$ a year other than the marketing ploy that obviously got you. Or are you also happy you get free online matchmaking with xbox gold?

You are somehow mistaking "beggars can't be choosers" with "paying customers can't be choosers".

Hmmm I am not aware of how Humble Bundle has changed for the worse, as I only started purchasing PC games in the last few months. The ones I've seen have certainly been fine and I've gotten a number of good games at the $1 level while passing on plenty of tempting BTA and upper tier options, but I cannot speak for the quality of these bundles compared to past bundles. It's helpful that you are also able to write in a comprehensible manner that brings the problem to light as opposed to people who just write how the bundles suck (perhaps they suck in context but overall I would still say they are a good value for buying games).

Xbox Live Gold was a service I was using before they started the Games with Gold program. I can't say I was terribly happy with having to pay for a subscription to play online multiplayer and watch Netflix, but it was basically a once yearly fee of $30-$35 that I was willing to swallow for the last few years. When they started giving me two free games a month, it merely helped to justify/sweeten the purchase. If you're going to argue about using "historical context" with Humble Bundle, you also have to take that into consideration with Xbox Live Gold. Despite being older games, most of them have been pretty good, so unless you own a bunch of them, ~$2 a game sounds decent to me. I mean, the fact is that I am buying way more games than ever before and I have basically paid nothing or them - doubt I've even invested much more than the cost of a full $60 console game this year yet my library has exploded, especially on PC but I've gotten some nice 360 games too.

FWIW the Games with Gold service for Xbox One is pretty terrible, as it amounts to month-long rentals of meh games.

When Humble Bundle started they only appeared every couple months and had a much higher quality of titles. They only had a 'Beat the Average' price and no $$$ levels.
