Agreed. Based on the videos there is blood and a few attacks and cutscenes that cause the head to explode (shotgun, stomp). Pretty tame when you consider what the trailers suggested.Phoenixwarrior141 wrote:Those poor pixels.rodeje25 wrote:Look if hatred was like this i would've used crossover to play it but now it's like mortal kombat to me and that means it goes too far for me.

And the violence isn't even that bad, trust me there is FAR worse out there.
What were you expecting on the outrage front? Everything (And yes, I mean EVERYTHING) you saw in the trailers were cutscenes taken from the game. Executions, cinematics and actual gameplay are all present. Was the game supposed to undersell itself?EPR89 wrote:
What I'm disappointed with is that it really doesn't deliver on the outrage front. The violence isn't all that shocking, the NPCs never manage to become anything more than simply targets without any sort of personality and the executions are repeating constantly. There's nothing shocking about it, other than the dialogue. And the only thing shocking about it is that the guy writing it hasn't quit halfway through. I haven't heard something as cringeworthy since Tommy Wisau's "The Room". Actually, the lines the main character uses in the game are even more pathetic than the ones in that film. That's an achievement.
What did the trailers suggest though? Nothing in those trailers didn't/doesn't happen in the game.EPR89 wrote:Agreed. Based on the videos there is blood and a few attacks and cutscenes that cause the head to explode (shotgun, stomp). Pretty tame when you consider what the trailers suggested.
Of course, rodeje's comment was joking.

Credit to them for the honest advertising.EPR89 wrote:The problem is that the trailers showed pretty much everything.
How does this mean the game "didn't deliver on the outrage front" though? All this means is that shock value is gonna wear off after some time. If it was even remotely shocking the first time.In a game where you have to execute people in order to get your health back, it's going to get annoying when you've seen all the cutscenes after a few minutes. Totalbiscuit mentioned this in his review. After a very short while got so uninteresting that he turned the cinematics off.
When? They never suggested there was any more to the game then what we saw, no deeper mechanics were teased on, no interesting levels. You have to think either they're really garbage at advertising (And given the fact that the game is a success... I doubt it) or that "more" isn't really there. You can assume they won't show EVERYTHING, but they at least have to tease upon it so people will see it and want to play the game for it.The trailers suggested more.
Yet it "suggested more", sounds like you got your hopes up and got disappointed.That's what trailers are there to do. Tease the customer. The Hatred trailers didn't tease, in retrospect. The showed all there was.
Well shit then.I just expected the game to go a bit deeper, make what you do feel as if it had some sort of impact instead of just being a point collector in a macabre and corny environment.
I like the executions, the varied camera angle kinda made up for the lack of variety. I didn't expect too much.At the veer least, I expected there to be more varied cinematics. The trailer made it look like they were more than just a gimmick.
