I adore the first Manhunt up until guns are introduced. The sequel has some gnarly kills if you played the uncut version with the mod that stops the camera from moving around during the kill.

But yeah, I'd imagine it'll get sorted, it's still pretty funny though.

Its hard to tell the worst part of this besides the bland setting and obviously very janky controls but I have to say my favorite part is probably at about 1:30 where the killer very clearly has no knife in his hand so he stabs a guy to death with Mime powers.

Also the women can go full frontal nudity but the guys are all wearing boxers? Cowards

PC for me. I know the PSP has an "uncut" version but I think the camera still flails around and there is some red filter lingering. PC was crystal clear.

I think the one thing I could previously have said in their defense is that they weren't cowards on this front back in Agony, and caving to the demands of a fanbase terrified of dicks is about the only kind of failure that was left for them.

Other than financial, for some reason. I wouldn't have thought the market for this stuff was really big enough to keep them rolling, but here we are three(ish? I guess?) games in.

Its been a while and the game wasn't that memorable, but the one thing I do remember is that they did chicken out in Agony, replacing the monsters dicks with some kind of tiny tentacle sticking out from the lower stomach. It just seemed so ridiculous what with all the other stuff in the game.

Not a game, but sorta related: I really like that The Righteous Gemstones (which is on HBO) has that good ol' HBO thing of including nudity.

The only people in the show that get naked are men.

Speaking of the show, my partner was re-playing Prey (2017) the other day while I was reading a book, and I had quite a shock when I suddenly heard Walton Goggins's voice. :3: I forgot he was in the game!

I have no idea what's going on in that Tormentor game, why is diaper mutant throwing corpses in lockers and tossing them over what is this scenario where naked people are wandering around random hallways?

I'm assuming this is UE4, Epic has gone far and away the past few years to build lots of free tools for their engine that we're definitely going to see a lot of these style of games in the future. It's not accurate to call them asset flips but this Epic model library, Quixel megascan textures, makehuman models, boom we have a realistic looking horror game where everything is shiny and wet.

The White Lotus is the same lol, a show about rich people vacationing in Hawaii and all the nudity is cock and balls and dudes tossing salad we've come so far from Game of Thrones god bless.

The 2D Elder Scrolls all have full frontal. They're basically paper dolls but they're still post-ESRB games.

I don't think the ESRB has ever cared about nudity per se, even before Lost and the Damned released the wang there were plenty of games with boobs and butts, it's just the game industry knows who they're selling to and jiggly peeners ain't it.

So from the game description it sounds like some sort of lovely snuff porn management sim. The player kidnaps victims (who they can customize the appearance of, which makes the entire thing way more sleazy), and kills them to make money so they can buy medicine. It wouldn't surprise me if the trailer already showed off most of the gameplay the game will have.

That whole thing was so stupid. It just felt like, why even bother touting your detailed character customization when 99% of the game is in first person so it barely matters in the slightest.

I love character creation, I spent too much time in that one, expecting that it meant the were going to be third person cutscenes throughout the game. Instead, there was one at the very end, and I only saw my character while riding a vehicle or going out of my way to look in a mirror (which were too janky to even bother using anyway). Just such a confusing decision.

I will somewhat ashamedly admit I bought Agony and Succubus because I was hoping for porn. I was thoroughly disappointed.

Succubus uncensored does have a healing mechanic where you abort babies or castrate dudes though, which is hilariously edgy.

Character creators are great but only if you can actually see the goddamn character once in a while.

It looks like a self challenge thing, where you're mean to scare them but also give them a weapon to fight back, then kill them anyway? Kind of like a horror film but you're the evil guy. Cabin in the woods in reverse or some poo poo.

It's certainly one of the more er, unique ideas. Not really a horror though.

"I couldn't stop saying aloud how miscast Jim Carrey was!"
After the SNES Mortal Kombat fiasco, which inspired a lot of teens to buy Genesis units and write to game mags about it, plus getting angry letters directly from American parents about being a nanny company who was making their decisions for them, Nintendo openly declared mea culpa and went totally hands-off on their content restrictions. That only snowballed as the decades went on, what with Reggie personally appealing to Rockstar to put their stuff on Nintendo systems (which is 100% why GTA Chinatown Wars and Manhunt 2 got made for them) and the rise of digital storefronts being the ultimate democratization for consumers. These days I don't think there's very much aside from outright porn that they won't allow and even then, Sony has been discovered demanding ecchi games get some levels of editing to be on PSN while the Switch editions weren't.

I just finished Painscreek Killings and I really don't know what to make of it. For the most part I really liked the game, I was impressed with how it managed to string together a pretty interesting investigation in a way that I'm sure was carefully gated but never felt (at least to me) like I was following a fixed path of evidence discovery. I always felt like I had two or three different lines of investigation I could follow. The game also managed to be pretty consistently creepy even without a lot happening.

But woof that ending. If you're going to pivot from being a walking simulator to having a forced chase sequence (which was an absolute terrible idea IMO) you better execute it loving flawlessly. I hated the choice to begin with because it felt so out of keeping with the rest of the game, but on top of that it was buggy and slow as hell, I had to try a few times because the door in the church basement wouldn't open the first couple of times, loading times were weirdly bad, and the character model for the bad guy was pretty drat bad. Plus I had no loving clue where I needed to go and ended up having to look it up, it turns out I had to lead him to a spot that I missed entirely because I didn't happen to use one particular stairwell in the hospital and didn't know it led to the roof where there was apparently a broken balcony, blah blah blah. Just a shocking pivot to really terrible game design decisions that killed most of my goodwill for the game up to that point.

I'd say it's still worth playing but I got frustrated enough with the ending that I just looked it up on YouTube and I'm glad I did, because nothing about it felt fun to play. I get what they were going for and why they'd choose to end the game that way, but I think it was a really poorly calculated choice with terrible execution. I'm fairly sure they could have not gone that direction and still given the game a satisfying ending.

It does make me wish someone would make a good game like this, a horror/suspense game where you're reconstructing a mystery and left largely to your own devices and expected to take your own notes. That sort of game definitely exists, Return of the Obra Dinn did it really loving well, but I liked the atmosphere of Painscreek a whole lot and wish it had been just a little better. I also played A Hand With Many Fingers, which was great for however much I paid for it, but feels more like a proof of concept than a full game, and ends just about when it finally gains some momentum.
