School shooters, People with mental issues, and the like.
I want to say something very horrible to you, since you just called me a psychopathic school shooter (indirectly, but still, you bundled me with the likes of murderers).
Think before you post something so dumb. That is such a damn ridiculous generalization of anyone looking forward to this game for how insanely fun it's going to be.
The target demographic is people who love senseless violence in video games, which is a large chunk of gamers.
Not school shooters, not people with mental issues. Jesus, I am finding it so hard to not rip you one right now. Your post really pissed me off.
But I'll just leave it alone now.
Anyways, I'm not going to look over this thread to see if it was already said, but:
Violence doesn't need a story to be justifiable in a video game. It's not real, none of it is, and the whole
"GTA's violence is okay because of the story dawg" excuse is incredibly dumb, in my humble opinion, and is not a good justification of the killing you do in the game at all.
It's a video game, so anything you do in it does not need a reason (Hatred is an arcade game, after all, and arcade games for years had no reason for what's happening in them at all).
If the game just wants you to do it, that's that. You do it. Not really an issue. None of it is real. And let's not forget, the biggest draw of GTA is the ability to go on senseless massacres outside of the story missions (at least it is for me and countless other people). So, when you think about it, Hatred is a game that has existed for years in GTA and GTA clones, so the outrage is not justified at all.
I just don't understand why a story is needed to kill people.
I mean, am I supposed to feel good about murdering Blume employees in Watch_Dogs because the story has them working for the big bad data-mining company?
These are people with lives and families, but I can still kill them. Nobody should feel any better about it because the story has you do it.
But hey, I'm a psychopathic school shooter, so maybe my perception of reality is just warped beyond repair.
(now I'll leave it alone)
ON A LIGHTER NOTE:
Best parody of the trailer, I think.

Also, the existence of
this petition makes my damn blood boil.
