The reviews I've seen have leaned towards good, but not great. In the 7/10 ballpark.

Yeah, and I've seen some that are better. Looks like it might be a Mirror's Edge situation, where people love it or hate it.

She wasn't hacked by GG people. GG self polices and aid people who were being hacked, doxxed, DDoS's, and generally harassed. Even when the other side were victims. A call was made to identify those responsible.

See, shit like this is what I was talking about Kalyx. I am actually with you 100% when it comes to your opinions on gamergate. But these people taking the debate to the extreme are just scumbags. Human fucking garbage. These types of trash don't even really care about the issues involved. They're just using it as an excuse to fuck with people's lives using the internet.
Whenever some controversy like this takes place, these fuckers come crawling out of the woodwork, and I really wish they'd all just get AIDS and die. |

I'm just saying; while they have the right to make whatever they want that also includes suffering the consequences of exercising that freedom to certain extremes. If they are ready for the almost certain backlash for making something like this - cool. Good for them.
But I really hope they don't come out like they have no clue why people in a post annual mass-shooting country would have a problem about what's essentially an update to Postal. I don't have interest in top-down/isomeric shooter types, unless it's Zombies Ate My Neighbors (and that Expendables 2 game was cute), so in any case I wouldn't play this. I'm also not fond of 'extreme violence for the sake of it' - Manhunt never interested me. What I'm getting at is the gameplay doesn't seem to offer anything special. It's a top-down shooter thing with close-up fatalities. Unless they have a big narrative reveal that will completely swerve us all, we have no choice but to think the violence is literally the entire selling point. I'm sorry but there's just way more risk than reward for something like that. I would need an interview from this guy to see where's he's coming from, though. I could be reading all this wrong. |
