Hatred isn't good. Like, on the most basic mechanical level. Literally the first message in the game you see is wrong, mixing up the left analog and the right analog stick. There's a fairly rote tutorial except for some inexplicable reason they don't explain a few functions, such as how to switch weapons, or that left bumper is this strange, wimpy kick (the animation is wimpy, somehow Hatredman can kick through solid brick as long as a window's attached). Switching weapons is the same button as executions, and it's not always immediately obvious when you c an perform an execution (which are also the only ways to regenerate health), so you will at several points just mash right up against someone, shoot them a couple times, then cycle through your weapons once or twice before you can begin one of the two or three canned animations that let you get more health. There's also no direction, you're just kind of shoved into the level and your only option is to shoot at things for a few minutes until suddenly you're allowed to go to the police station to kill people. The game's needless black-and-white visuals do it no favours for coherency either, to the point where they deliberately had to include a button to highlight things in the world that are interactable to distinguish them from the rest of the visual noise.

It's a shame there was so much hand-wringing controversy before the game came out, because if it was released without fanfare nobody would care about it in the slightest.

Congrats on blowing $20 on a lovely troll game that everybody could already tell was going to be garbage that sold entirely on manufactured controversy and irony.

I love Hatred because of all these SA posters who have gleefully murdered thousands of fake people in video games for years without batting an eye yet have suddenly turned into fainting puritans because a game came out that doesn't attempt to disguise murder as heroism.

It's just funny to see all the neckbeards troll themselves by buying a lovely game just to stick it to a nebulous boogeyman.

The new DLC for Postal 2 was fun aside from the really lovely final boss.

There's some executions that are 'too much.' The main thing is that the devs didn't challenge the AO rating, because they kind of wanted it to be as stigmatized as possible.

Are there any non-poo poo MMOs still around? I tried FF XIV and gave up after 3 hours, I'm trying Tera right now and it kinda looks like poo.

I'll never know, because the developers shrugged their shoulders and gave up about releasing the game in Australia.

I wasn't planning on playing it, but my friend who takes his gaming more seriously than I has been moaning about it today.

Then again, Hotline Miami 2 got banned here, so I understand about the developers not even trying.

i refuse to believe there is a single poster on here who sincerely thinks Hatred is anything worse than "a stupid/bad game"

the Hatred thread is like a circle jerk where everyone is saying "haha i'm totally not gay, i'll show you how not gay i am by grabbing as many dicks as i can"

Hatred is too repetitive to be exciting, too dumb to be frightening, too basic for you to feel accomplished at its end, too dour to be violently cathartic, too self-serious to engender ironic amusement, and yet still too childish to matter...essentially, it's a nothing of a game.
