Check out this game, mainly it's trailer... now I would never condone censoring a game, even thou I'm personally not fond of cop or citizen killing games, and I don't with this one, but I can't help thinking that in this day in age where anti-police and anti-government is as strong as ever in society, someone with a similar attitude or feelings, and an emotional problem or two, might see this as a "training tool"? Thou in real life, he might kill some unarmed citizens, but he wouldn't last an hour or two on this killing spree. That said, for a healthy gamer like me... it looks pretty F'in cool... BTW, Unreal has asked for their logo to be removed, they won't sensor either but they don't want their logo on it. http://www.hatredgame.com/what's your thoughts on it? Keep it respectful.

COOP is always nice. I see no problem with it. The whiners already complain that COD and BF4 type games are training aides. You can kill cops in GTA.

I think it's absolutely disgusting rubbish.
But then I'm probably not the target group anyway.

Walk around killing civilians? You can also do that in ArmA 3 and several of the Clancy games like Raven Shield and Ghost Recon.

Definitely in bad taste, and I'm sure some groups out there will point it out as a bad influence at the first chance they get. It won't create nutcases IMO, but will attract them. It doesn't spread a positive message that's for sure. My kids won't play it if I have anything to say about it. Can only hope other parents will keep their kids from it too so they don't get into it at someone else's house. The problem is that most parents buy/rent games without checking them out and just assume things are ok. I guess this picks up where Postal left off. Odd how we couldn't get Fight for Fallujah, but this can come out no problem.

In a properly designed mission it's also a point of failure, not a goal. The whole purpose around the groups you play as is that they're there to help people. Someone who would enjoy something like this has legitimate mental issues on some level.

I stay away from violent games just like i do violent movies and I do not attempt to use the deck guns of my submarine in Silent Hunter 4 to take out the people in the life boats of some ship i just sunk. Plus that's a violation of the Geneva Convention.
The owners of game development companies decide what is appropriate in their opinions and i do not know the regulations for the industry regarding content

To be fair the deck cannons were indeed used against sampans, and as a defensive weapon and backup to poor WWII Pacific torpedo performance. I don't ever recall them being used to hit lifeboats but anything is possible.
Regardless, mass murderers =/= military submarine commanders.

There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Well i guess it depends on your definition of what constitutes a violent PC/console game ...... i don't consider SH 4 to be a violent game ....most of the war game simulations i/ve played over the years i don't consider to be violent either ...but that's my opinion. Like SH 4 , most of those involved blowing up hardware rather then showing people

Some idiot is going to imitate this irresponsible game, and kill a bunch of people...
Then we are going to have just about everything super-scrutinized and restricted or over-regulated.
Say bye-bye to the 1st and 2nd amendments as we know them now...
This game is gonna f*ck it up for all of us.

-- What regulations are there for the game industry with regard to violent content besides the label -- Does the content violate any regulations
