Oh, that was you.

They made a game and a trailer. Blogs wanted clicks. They got clicks. You blame the devs.

Yes! Being a huge Doctor Who fan - surprising as that may be ;) - I always marvelled at how many stories were released on VHS and DVD with universal 'U' ratings here in the UK, many not even receiving a PG. Oddly, the stories that sometimes did get a slightly higher PG rating were normally the ones that were pretty safe and not really clear what triggered the extra rating.

Take for instance 1977's brilliant 'The Robots of Death', given a Universal cert until the most recent DVD reissue here (some new extras bumped the rating up to PG). The reprogrammed robots have already bumped off many of the crew and are hunting down the rest of them. Jumping to 1'50" into this clip and you get a scene perfectly suitable for all ages :)

Even better on the first DVD release where IIRC that particular sequence looped around on the menu screen :P

(I'm just gutted I missed the DW crack in time banter cos of sleep, so I'm throwing this out here :)

I try to be polite : Stop whining , shut up and buy that fucking game on Desura or on Steam !!!

I don't necessarily blame the devs for writing the blogs and articles, I do blame the devs for knowing all too well what will happen when they do what they did with the trailer. There had been a lot of historical precedent for such moves, and I highly doubt devs did not know about, say, Postal and controversy it raised. And when the controversy did spark, they did nothing to calm it down, quite the contrary. As far as I'm concerned, you're calling Hatred devs complete idiots by pretending that they did not expect this reaction. I, on the other hand, believe they are intelligent people who did have an idea of what will happen. Of course magazines and blogs are going to be easily manipulated into this, as you said yourself, they want clickbait fuel and Hatred devs provided in spades. What I find sad is the fanatical dedication from people who don't actually have anything to gain from it.

Look, I have actually changed my opinion of them and now I think they seem like pretty cool guys, and that they genuinely did not want things to go this far, beyond a few outraged internet articles - nonetheless, fact is that things did go this far.

The GOG reps said they liked the game in a Twitter response. And believe me, there's a ton of not very good games here. If they refused the game one would think an explanation is in order.

you wanna know why the devs decided to take this path? cause they knew hypocrites(gog is one) and sjw's would give them all the advertisement they needed and if those hypocrites and sjw's would shut up this game wouldn't have attracted all these controversies and none of us would be here

So true about GOG having bad games in their catalog.

Considering that, I want them to tell me why in the hell Fahrenheit is here.

cause its just like witcher 3 right *nudge nudge wink wink*

Not particularly. It's just a shitty game, so if we're going to get together and start bugging GOG to explain themselves, that's one I want to know about.

Seriously, though, fuck you, David Cage. Fuck you so much....

am talking about the sexual content :D

Those make more sense. It's interesting to see when game series completely fall apart and attempt to ruin any good feeling about earlier entries.
Those are like little time capsules illustrating what not to do.

just more reasons why people should stop defending cdpr and accept that they are a bunch of hypocrites

Well there is this daikatana that is the first in the series.

The main thing is that I don't even look at intentions, just at facts.

I can see why you think they played on the controversy aspect, because it's probably part of the process, but that could never work without a lot of support from blogs and outraged persons. The devs can do whatever they want, but they can't fabricate controversy, possible censorship, uproar and such.

I don't think the devs are idiots, they just want the game to sell no matter what, just like CDPR, EA or anyone else. They are not hypocrites. Blogs that claim that Hatred is filth and disgusting giving a lot of exposure to the game, that's hypocrisy.

Still looks like a fun game, with a lazy and underdeveloped premise, like a lot of games out there. I'd like to see what they could do with a decent writer.
