Hatred Review | The Game Scouts

Added: 15.06.2015 14:16 | 9 views | 0 comments

Palmer Sturman: In October of last year a trailer was released that shocked gamers and media alike. It was for, what looked like, an absurdly violent twin-stick shooter made by a small polish developer aptly known as Destructive Creations. Its controversy was linked to the games core concept: massacre as many civilians as possible. With media attention focused more and more on real acts of terrorism and mass shootings, the games presentation of such wanton violence struck a cord. The games title, appropriately named Hatred, is only the second game in the history of the ESRB to receive an Adults Only (AO), which in my opinion is based more on the games controversy and not necessarily its content. Hatreds shock-value propelled its popularity to the frontlines of games media coverage with sites much larger than us, presenting a number of differing opinions on the content of the game and how it should be perceived.
