Gaming / Re: Valve pulls 'Hatred' from Steam Greenlight.
« on: December 15, 2014, 07:12:51 PM »
IIRC one of the lead devs was tied to some Neo-Nazi group, so I'm not exactly crying over the thought of skinheads losing out on money.

I could be wrong though <.<
Banning games for the political views of one of their devs seems like a mighty slippery slope.
I'm not saying that it should be banned because they might be nazis, I'm just saying I'm not crying over lost shekels that would go to their pockets.

The game is just bad news for everyone, it's more ammo to the soccer moms association of funkilling for example. And I bet Jack fucking Thompson squealed with delight when he saw the reveal trailer <____<

It looks like it will be funny because of how badly they are trying to be edgy with it, but short of cringe factor material there isn't a lot it has going for it.
Meh I don't disagree with any of this, but I also think pulling it from steam is more ammo for the people trying to get games like GTA pulled from store shelves.

I'd rather stay consistent with my views than change them on a game per game basis.
yes, exactly. The art style and tone of a game are what makes the game funny, or just plain edgy and plain wrong. you can laugh off a moment in postal because of the art style of the game, and how the protagonist constantly pushes out 80's 1 liners. Hatred is TOO realistic for people to be comfortable with, and TOO dark for the general masses. it was advertised as an edgy, dark, realistic mass murder simulator, unlike postal which was advertised as a funny over the top "do what you want" game.
I disagree.
well you're wrong. it's an objective fact that the graphics and art style of a game change the feel of a game. for example, try to imagine Conker's Bad Fur Day, remade today without the censoring, and being a realistic game, no cartoon blood, and the music being replaced with generic heavy metal. Or Spec Ops the Line with cartoony graphics and a goofy soundtrack it's a completely different game when you change an art style and feel of the game.

"Censorship"


There is nothing in the definition of censorship that suggest it only applies to govts.
Steam is censoring it from their software. They have that right. I'm not debating that. I'm debating whether its the right thing to do.
I think the game very clearly crossed the line of what's acceptable to put in a game. Something in the vein of Manhunt or Super Columbine Massacre RPG. It would be an extremely poor business decision on Valve's part to sell the game on Steam.

Yeah people are totally going to cut business with Valve/Steam because one shitty edgy game is on the market for the few who want it.  I can almost guarantee a majority of the people complaining are tumblr blogging retards.  If you don't play the game it literally has no effect on you.
it COMPLETELY effects EVERYONE in the gaming industry, if we let terrible games like this slide by, what does that say about the industry as a whole? if valve keeps this mass murder sim on  greenlight it only proves the point of Jack Thompson and soccer moms trying to censor the industry as a whole.

Then why do they allow Postal?
 
Postal is a COMPLETELY different level, the biggest difference is that it's the cartoony type of gore that is in line with conker's bad fur day, Hatred takes the realistic approach, and advertised that as one of it's main points. In this day and age, games like this are also just a bad influence on gaming in general. The only reason people approve of Postal is because it hams up the hyper gore and makes it funny.
So the games could be exactly the same, but one artstyle/tone is not ok?

ISTJ STRENGTHS

Spoiler
Honest and Direct - Integrity is the heart of the ISTJ personality type. Emotional manipulation, mind games and reassuring lies all run counter to ISTJs' preference for managing the reality of the situations they encounter with plain and simple honesty.
Strong-willed and Dutiful - ISTJs embody that integrity in their actions too, working hard and staying focused on their goals. Patient and determined, people with the ISTJ personality type meet their obligations, period.
Very Responsible - ISTJs' word is a promise, and a promise means everything. ISTJs would rather run themselves into the ground with extra days and lost sleep than fail to deliver the results they said they would. Loyalty is a strong sentiment for ISTJ personalities, and they fulfill their duties to the people and organizations they've committed themselves to.
Calm and Practical - None of their promises would mean much if ISTJs lost their tempers and broke down at every sign of hardship - they keep their feet on the ground and make clear, rational decisions. Peoples' preferences are a factor to consider in this process, and ISTJs work to make the best use of individual qualities, but these decisions are made with effectiveness in mind more so than empathy. The same applies to criticisms, for others and themselves.
Create and Enforce Order - The primary goal of any ISTJ is to be effective in what they've chosen to do, and they believe that this is accomplished best when everyone involved knows exactly what is going on and why. Unclear guidelines and people who break established rules undermine this effort, and are rarely tolerated by ISTJs. Structure and rules foster dependability; chaos creates unforeseen setbacks and missed deadlines.
Jacks-of-all-trades - Much like Analysts (NT), ISTJs are proud repositories of knowledge, though the emphasis is more on facts and statistics than concepts and underlying principles. This allows ISTJs to apply themselves to a variety of situations, picking up and applying new data and grasping the details of challenging situations as a matter of course.
ISTJ WEAKNESSES

Spoiler
Stubborn - The facts are the facts, and ISTJs tend to resist any new idea that isn't supported by them. This factual decision-making process also makes it difficult for people with the ISTJ personality type to accept that they were wrong about something - but anyone can miss a detail, even them.
Insensitive - While not intentionally harsh, ISTJs are often hurt more sensitive types' feelings by the simple mantra that honesty is the best policy. ISTJ personalities may take emotions into consideration, but really only so far as to determine the most effective way to say what needs to be said.
Always by the Book - ISTJs believe that things work best with clearly defined rules, but this makes them reluctant to bend those rules or try new things, even when the downside is minimal. Truly unstructured environments leave ISTJs all but paralyzed.
Judgmental - Opinions are opinions and facts are facts, and ISTJs are unlikely to respect people who disagree with those facts, or especially those who remain willfully ignorant of them.
Often Unreasonably Blame Themselves - All this can combine to make ISTJs believe they are the only ones who can see projects through reliably. As they load themselves with extra work and responsibilities, turning away good intentions and helpful ideas, ISTJs sooner or later hit a tipping point where they simply can't deliver. Since they've heaped the responsibility on themselves, ISTJs then believe the responsibility for failure is theirs alone to bear.

Patent, Mass produce slightly less potent pills that would only slow ageing to a point, enforce a full population control system, and sell prolonged ageing pills for both profit and for immortality... sell full immortality in exchange for all assets and money that that person owns as a trade off. you have to commit to the choice  if you wish for infinite life and infinite experiences. you also gain an "immortal status" on your records that allows full, and free travel universally, along with 3-4 star accommodations, but you cannot get a job or own any property while you are of this status
One of the strangest things about this post is that if I ever achieved immortality, I'd leave society and essentially abide by all of these regulations, even though I don't necessarily agree with their enforcement. What would the penalty be for violations?
you would be forced to take some form of pill that cancels the immortality out, and these would be international laws abided by every man and woman in the servicing industries.

I think Sonic 06 wasn't that bad (and the new one is infinitely worse)
...huh?...

this is the most baffling one so far
Sonic 06, while broken as shit, is still a fun game to break... it serves it's purpose to entertain me with how easily you can break it. it also makes for some fun little stories when discussing glitches.


Sonic Boom on the other hand is a generic platformer with shitty boring design that lags a lot.

Halo 2 was shit
Dark Souls 1&2 aren't challenging at all
Halo 4 honestly has the greatest story of the 3 and fleshes out it's characters 1000x better than the main trilogy.
343 are actually doing a good job with Halo
I think Sonic 06 wasn't that bad (and the new one is infinitely worse)
Sonic 3 wasn't the greatest sanic game, SA2 was better
The "new" SMB series is honestly a great change of pace, and is quite fun with friends
Mario Kart DS/7 were bad IMO

The MK8 DLC was reasonably priced, well-made, and released half a year after the full game came out.
that's also how modern DLC started out when the 360 came out, look where it is now.
