I understand you can't separate fantasy from reality, but drawings aren't real, neither are video games.

also stop talking about censorship, a term you have scarcely a sophomoric understand of.

I think Ddraig needs to chill out and play his favorite game, Far Cry 2, instead of throwing another temper tantrum. Clearing out the same outpost a few times and getting attacked by his own allies should clear his mind and show him what a real grimdark game is.

I think people shouldn't block the sale of something just because they disagree with it.

That being said I'm not going to buy this game, because it looks bad and the developers seem like assholes.

Did you know every .00003 seconds several hundred characters are killed in a video game?

Yes, that's right, in the time it has taken me to type this, thousands upon thousands of depictions of human beings, nonhuman beings, vague approximations of sentient creatures and, needless to say, billions of virtual animals have been brutally slaughtered.

Oftentimes these definitively innocent virtual things, who's only crime was being created by humans, are being killed horribly by virtual fire, bullets, lasers, magical spells, yelling, flying furniture, other characters, physics glitches, robots and in other inhumane and frankly impossible ways.

When will this brutality end?

I propose we set a stop to it right now. The journey will be long and hard, but won't it be worth it to finally live in a world where no one need have their minds sullied by anything more graphic than plant growth simulators?

Far Cry 2 is far from my favorite but it is very good. Surprisingly it also features a lot of killing people which I don't object to on principle. It also isn't made by neo Nazis so it also has that going for it.

If you're going to pick an edgy grimdark game I would highly recommend Far Cry 2 and probably not Hatred. Thanks for your time.

Neither was Hatred. There is no evidence to that effect beyond there apparently having been one dev that clicked the 'like' button on facebook .

I know, I know, you really hate Neo-Nazis. At the core of it, that's not a bad thing! However when you are so eager to hate on Neo-Nazis you will attack anyone some idiot (or group thereof) said was a Neo-Nazi... you are cheapening the cause of hating on Neo-Nazis by becoming nigh as blind as they tend to be.

You are, at that point, hating for the sake of hating with the accusation of Neo-Nazism simply being a convenient excuse.

You are becoming your enemy.

Apparently that is quite the controversial opinion to some. In fact it makes some people SO MAD they will buy swastika avatars for people they disagree with.

I too will probably not buy this game, because it will be trash, but If it turns out to be good, then I will buy it.

Ah yes, nothing shows a public vote of support like the classic Facebook Like. That really clarifies where they stand on

the devs' website posted:

"My grand-grand father was killed by Gestapo. Some members of my family were fighting against nazi occupation in the polish underground army called "Armia Krajowa". My forefathers suffered greatly because of totallitarian regimes, so who the gently caress would I be if I'd truly support any of nazi activists? People give "likes" on Facebook all the time, even if they don't know what is exactly behind this or that fanpage. I did the same. Suddenly it makes me neo-nazi, great, have fun you stupid rear end haters. Learn some history first, because when I read about "polish death camps" it makes me disgusted. You don't know poo poo about our history and you fall easily to false propaganda. The hateful title I'm working on (where virtual character hates virtual characters), doesn't have any connection to what I truly believe and think, there is a real-life outside, you know? Maybe you should try it? I will never ever again respond to any of those accusations, this is my ultimate statement."
J. Z.

"Nazi Germany is responsible for killing 6 milion people in Poland. Half of them were Jews, half of them Polish. My family suffered many losses during the World War II. Anybody accusing me for being a follower of said ideology should really think twice before doing so and consider reading some books on the topic. This is basic history knowledge really and also happens to be a very personal matter for me. I am not a neo-Nazi nor a fascist and it is utterly disgusting to be called this way. And I have to say it’s really surprising for me how somebody from the United States especially can have troubles understanding such simple and universal values as patriotism, honoring one own national symbols and caring for the future of his own country. Values like pluralism , democratic opposition and the right to manifest one own views shouldn’t be called ‘the lack of tolerance’. Finally regarding my attitude towards gays let me just say that I have a few gay friends that I deeply respect as people and have no problem with their sexual orientation."
M. K.

"In response to repeated allegations against me, I’d like to state that I’m opposed to all totalitarian ideologies. The t-shirt that I’m wearing on our team picture refers to National Polish Army troops, that in 1945 refused to lay down arms and continue fighting against the new invader, to regain independent Poland. They did so because they’ve rightly anticipated Soviet security service repressions against Polish already demilitarized army. I would also like to emphasize that until the year 1945 those troops were actively fighting against the Third Reich occupation. Those soldiers are Polish national heroes and as such deserve commemoration. Just as much as American troops that lose their lives fighting against terrorism. As to organizations that profiles I follow, they refer to the patriotic and libertarian tradition, and not to the totalitarian ideology."

Didn't you make a post earlier putting Nazis, Jews and Furries in roughly the same category of people being unnecessarily otherized.

I mean you have the CEO following far right extremists, the artist posting his aryan tattoo designs and another dude following a legit anti-Jewish movement and attending one of their marches.

It could all just be a series of unfortunate accidents. Maybe the tattoo artist is completely unfamiliar with the concept of aryan artwork like Mjolnir with a swastika in it, maybe the CEO was truly looking for unbiased news like how Muslims are taking over the world with Halal and maybe that dude going on the march doesn't like matzo.

I'm guessing the real answer is more likely that they're loving racist and desperately back peddling to justify their lovely beliefs coming out.

If you interpreted it as that, you're wrong. But this is the thread about jumping to conclusions so have fun, I guess.

I missed where you posted the citation about the tattoo designs or the anti-Semitic march so please forgive me for taking their own word over one Facebook screenshot. Would be nice if you actually cited things rather than just handwave them as though they're common knowledge, though, that was kind of annoying. I'm insane but I'm not entirely unreasonable, you could just say something like "that would be one thing but you missed these" and point them out. I apologize for being snippy but I think you could see where I was coming from since I thought that was the only piece of evidence presented. :kiddo:

I'm not buying it either, though every time someone says it won't sell at all I am tempted to just to demonstrate the objective falsity.

Their supposed fascist sympathies are, even if they exist at all, are being exaggerated to hell and back and I think the odds of them being complete dickheads is unlikely. I believe complete dickheads would have handled this much worse than they have thus far. For the most part they just seem to be incredulous at things like the Polygon hit-piece even while they seem to be perfectly aware it probably only translates into more sales in the end.

I will also buy it if in a twist ending it turns out to be Nathan Explosion's fever dream, as at least one goon has hypothesized.

As far as I am aware, that still is pretty much the only 'evidence' presented. Another goon who apparently claims to be an expert on racist symbolism said that he saw where one of the devs did tattoos once that had such symbolism in them- though I would say it seems highly unlikely that only neo-nazi fascists like Mjolnir.

When I gave Secret Ponchos a shot a few weeks ago, it fell pretty flat. But, it did give me an odd craving for a Smash TV-like game. Hatred might scratch that itch, but if the game really is just "go kill everything until you die" sort of thing then I dunno. I guess I like objectives to my mass murder simulators. I doubt it'll be cheap enough for me to feel it worth the grab. Not until it goes on sale or something.
