MarkoH01: apart from not being politically correct (which nowadays you could consider a game worth playing, too ;)).
Hatred is just about 98% politically correct, and the remaining two are of no particular consequence.
Indeed, Hatred failed hilariously at living up to the controversy its developers desperately tried to stir. The most explicit stuff in the game are the repetitive, non interactive execution cutscenes, and the game doesn't have the budget to go into any real kind of gruesome detail there, so it turned out boring as hell. Most people deactivate those cutscenes after minutes of gameplay.
"stomach churning brutality": Mission failed.
Some PG-12 games are more violent.
The other non-p.c. thing in the game is of course the basic storyline. But as e.g. RPS has noted, that only makes you end up playing some guy you don't want to play or understand in the first place, just some dude devoid of character. Turns out that senseless mass shooters AREN'T that preferred projection figures for the young male white teen these days.
"Our game is not art": Mission accomplished!
An excellent example how a lack of artful creativity makes a game intensely... worthless.
Guys, can we leave the Hatred stuff behind us now and focus on getting actually interesting indie games on GOG? Because, the problem is, many prospective pearls don't seem to make an appearance here while people whine about that one bollocks iso shooter thing everyone thought was pure meh.
Dragon Fin Soup. I want it, where's the announcement?
Or has publisher Sony put in a veto on the Kickstarter promises?
Submerged. I want it, where is it?
The Humble "version" is only a Steam key. :( :( :(
Come on, focus on the right stuff again.
