Support NeoGAF

[Chezzymann]

I've never heard of a game being banned from discussion before. Is there any way to know what's banned? Or is this the only one?

 

[Compsiox]

Me too.

For the record I think Hatred gets more flak than it's due, but hey, this thread isn't going to last.

How so? It was built from the ground up to create controversy.

 

[Begaria]

looks like a bland, Postal 1 redux.

Pretty much this. Jim Sterling did a video on it. It's basically Postal 1 as if made in 2015.

 

[antitrop]

Apparently the game's also awful mechanically, so not a great loss.

It's competent, but not fun. Also, not worth the controversy. The game is too silly to take seriously, I was laughing out loud while playing it.

 

[jrush64]

I heard about this game through WatchMojo and yeah it's pretty fucked up. Dont see the point.

 

[Corpekata]

This one and the the ones where you rub 12 year old anime girls on the Vita.

 

[Robaperas]

Check some Steam reviews, it's a repetitive mess with broken AI.

 

[Pathfinder]

I wish I could talk about the game's destruction tech.

Fuck the premise of the game, but that's some nice technology right there.

The lighting is quite nice as well.

 

[Steel]

Several games are banned, though most of them are for excessive sexulaization of minors, like dungeon travellers.

 

[Compsiox]

I think I speak for us all when I say:

Hatred was a mistake. It's nothing but trash.

 

[Fireblend]

I've never heard of a game being banned from discussion before. Is there any way to know what's banned? Or is this the only one?

There's a couple more. Just use common sense.

 

[Astarte]

It's like if Metalocalypse had a video game but the humor wasn't there. I felt like it was a 5/10 game.

 

[collige]

I've never heard of a game being banned from discussion before. Is there any way to know what's banned? Or is this the only one?

The only other ones I can think of are some Japanese games with loli-esque fanservice.

 

[Alienous]

How so? It was built from the ground up to create controversy.

Its first trailer was. The actual game, from what I've seen, is pretty goofy and reverential in its stupidity.

But I can't get banned two weeks before E3. Not now. So zip from me.

 

[The Elite]

Is the violence worse than Mortal Kombat finishers?

 

[baphomet]

Game seems to be doing quite well. Odd that discussion is banned, but other more violent game discussion is allowed. It just does the opposite, and gives it more exposure.

• Hatred
• Dungeon Travelers 2
• Criminal Girls: Invite Only
• [Something else?]

 

[Pathfinder]

You don't.

 

[ActuallyHulk]

The game discussion is banned here in case people don't get it yet

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Genuinely curious, are Postal and No Russian discussions banned here as well?

 

[vocab]

Jim sterling did a squirty play of it. Its pretty much no different than gta 1 or two really. Ya those games are better go figure. Its hard to take the game serious when all you do is shoot stuff. The driving reminds me of blast corps. I dont know, i think games like manhunt are far more grim and fucked up than a dual stick shooter. This shit is pretty tame for me. Looks nice though.

 

[Akai__]

not sure if bait or just ignorant

Can't be bait, because NeoGAF said they don't support the game, but people are still free to play what they want.

That being said, the game is not supported on here, so don't make threads.

 

[Jazz573]

It would be nice if the mods would make a sticky of all the banned games, especially for new members who would have no way of knowing.

 

[DownGrader]

I've never heard of a game being banned from discussion before. Is there any way to know what's banned? Or is this the only one?

Basically, this one and rape games.

It would be nice if the mods would make a sticky of all the banned games, especially for new members who would have no way of knowing.

Good point.

 

[antitrop]

It's like if Metalocalypse had a video game but the humor wasn't there. I felt like it was a 5/10 game.

The unintentional humor of the main character's ultimate moroseness is the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

 

[xKilltheMx]

Everybody already let you know but yeah no discussion allowed.
The game looks like shit so really no loss.

 

[Sephzilla]

From what I've seen of the game it doesn't even warrant the controversy surrounding it.

Also, as others have mentioned, discussing this game on GAF is not allowed.

 

[Pro from Dover]

I love that it makes me feel bad.

 

[Cyriades]

I like it.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

PC gaming should pretty much be illegal at this point

 

[Cuyejo]

lots of games are banned from discussion here, I find surprising you find that surprising.

Also, only thing I can say about this game: graphics are kinda nice.

 

[jacksepticeye]

It's competent, but not fun. Also, not worth the controversy. The game is too silly to take seriously, I was laughing out loud while playing it.

Pretty much. The controversy was overblown and the actual game underneath it all is boring as sin.

 

[Despera]

Gameplay seems to be very repetitive and boring.

and yeah, inb4 the lock.

 

[komplanen]

I've never heard of a game being banned from discussion before. Is there any way to know what's banned? Or is this the only one?

So far no one poster has been banned (I think?) for making a single mistake of talking about a banned game so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

The game is not banned just because it's violent and gory but also for the disgusting ideologies being promoted (by the developer).

 

[Compsiox]

You don't.

At least I said think

 

[marrec]

The only thing edgy or controversial about it is the marketing done before hand, the game itself is bland and conformist.

 

[Mesoian]

• Hatred
• Dungeon Travelers 2
• Criminal Girls: Invite Only
• [Something else?]

Actual porn games.

 

[OccamsLightsaber]

The game is not that bad. I've no more heinous things in GTA, so stop with the manufactured controversy.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

It would be nice if the mods would make a sticky of all the banned games, especially for new members who would have no way of knowing.

Then they'd have to mention the name, which is against the point of banning it.

 

[The Smoking Bun]

Everyone should just be aware that the game is the equivalent of an Uwe Boll movie
It's not even offensive rather it wears the 90's teenager definition of edgy quite proudly

 

[params7]

Is the violence worse than Mortal Kombat finishers?

I think its the premise. Shooting up civilians. But then again you could do that all day in GTA. The difference is GTA discourages the behavior by putting cops on your ass, while this game gives you points.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

PC gaming should pretty much be illegal at this point

Sarcasm?

 

[Jazz573]

Then they'd have to mention the name, which is against the point of banning it.

Pretty sure you are allowed to mention banned games in passing.

 

[ieptbarakat]

From what I saw, the ending tries so hard to be edgy it flips over and ends up being satire.

 

[baphomet]

I think its the premise. Shooting up civilians. But then again you could do that all day in GTA. The difference is GTA discourages the behavior by putting cops on your ass, while this game gives you points.

Actually, this game also puts cops on your ass.

Rampage is such a baaaaaaaad movie. It boggles my mind that when it came out, people were all like "Huh, it's actually not bad. Probably Boll's best movie".

 

[Leafhopper]

10/10

 

[Xater]

Genuinely curious, are Postal and No Russian discussions banned here as well?

No, but beyond this being a tasteless piece of shit at least some of the developers are neo-nazis and why potentially support their agenda?

 

[jimi_dini]

Now what really bugs me is that, it is somehow very satisfying killing innocent bystanders ... and i fell like gettin' back on it, and do some more... DAMN!

You are killing polygons in any case. So it either matters or it doesn't. At least that's for me personally. I don't like violent games in general.

 

[SprachBrooks]

Why's this game banned?
