Controversial games of yesterday

Night Trap will have a PS4 port

fucking redditor reported

Hatred. Even if it ended up being nothing terribly groundbreaking gamewise, its existing was important due to exposing the fact that violence in games still causes moral outrage to this day, ironically from the people who once condemned such outrage.

That was just because the developer was a meanie and didn't want to tone it down. Hell, pretty much any game post 2007 is either manufactured controversy, or people whining at nothing at all

why did you use an ellipsis to start the thread?

Not exactly controversy, but was it Australia or Germany, blood has to be changed to something like blue or green, and you can't depict guns on the cover, and humans are usually changed to like robots or whatever.

Hatred caused modern controversy. the game is ok but not a great game. Is like a enhanced version of Postal 1.

If I remenber right they managed to censor Manhunt 2 because of that.

To think all the PS2 graphics murder that goes on that game is completley tame if compared to the torture porn fad that came after it.

Obviously not well enough since you can get the unrated version on PC.

It was a different time. Nowadays games are (((art))) therefore cane get away with gratuitous goret and full frontal nudity so long as they are championing a kosher message.

There is a tutorial somewhere to decensor the PS2 game. step by step

The game was garbage anyway, they tried to put some complex yet predictable story on it. The first one worked much better with the simple premise (in my opinion)

I mean the movie fad with Saw and the other torture porn that became mainstream in early 2000.

But yeah, even some stuff on God of War is way more explicit and violent than Manhunt 2.

y tho

Memeware. People like to buy garbage "ironically"

never played the game but the cult following is real. I might try it someday

I don't doubt it, but the logic is still the same.

I mean, movies like Trolls 2 and The Room also have cult followings, people do it "ironically"

the real cancer are talentless faggots who try to make intentionally bad films and say they're ironic.
If people can make ironic bad films/games, then they should be talented enough to make GOOD things unironically

Those movies enter in the category of so bad that are good (yes, people like them ironically) but are enjoyable.

counter strike was quite the controversy, at least in my country, it even got banned in fucking 2014 (the original)

only for the ban to get lifted a month later

Games seldom reach that level because you actually have to interact with them and a game with a b-plot most likely also has b-gameplay.

CSGO was controversial in Spain because muh ETA.

I don't think this is something you strive for, it just happens. If you try to make a "so bad it's good" game/movie, you just gonna end up looking forced and pretentious (example is Space Cop and Samurai Cop 2). I'm sure people who made Nightwatch, The Room, Trolls 2 weren't trying to make a cult following, it just happened.

To be honest, I love the shit out of Trolls 2. I believe it's way better than a lot of mainstream movies from the time.

Still… regardless of quality, big part of these games/movies following is ironic. I mean, if they released Big Rigs 2 and it was just as broken as the first but with better graphics and new (also broken) features, I'm sure some people would buy it "ironically", just for the meme value.

Tommy Wiseau wanted his film to be a full on trademark to be remembered forever.
the thing about films that are "so bad it's good" is that the people making them had high expectations of their films, but they also put heart and passion into their products because they don't know any better.
"ironically bad" films are like cynical cashgrabs, but I can't think of the proper term for it.
"cynical attention grabber"?

It could be cool if there was a pastebin with games banned or really controversial to download. Something a la "Share thread".

Yes, a broken game is a broken game but that did not stop the cult following of Vampire: The Masquerade. The community around that game is really big and they even released patchs to fix bugs and expansions for the game (in a way of adding functions non existent in the game)

Pretty much. I guess the biggest example of this in video games is Hatoful Boyfriend. After it we got a lot of visual novels dating sims trying to be "weird" as a marketing tool, but they miss the point because what made Hatoful Boyfriend stand out so much isn't the weird premise, is the fact that the game takes itself completely serious even though it's a dating sim with pigeons. Like you said, it isn't just weird for the sake of weird, it also have heart and passion put into the product, even if the final result is trash.

Yeah, I feel like some people do it as an excuse to not put effort. Like "of course the movie is bad, it's supposed to".

That right their is one of the biggest cancer killing any medium.
people trying hard to justify their shit in irony.

Yeah you see it a lot in Anime too. Most recent example I can think of that really thrived was people saying that "overlord was supposed to be bad, but you don't understand it was IRONICALLY BAD"

is Kennel Tokorozawa ironically promoting bestiality?

no it's 12 irony layers deep, and actually promoting gay relationships

shit, I think you're on to something

There's a 90's beat-em up where you get humped by gay guys in leather and dogs. I think it's called Vandetta (maybe). The US version may be censored, but I don't remember. I remember kids talking about the gay guys and dogs humping you in the game when it was new, so it may have been uncensored in US arcades.

These Postal series is definitely controversial as hell.

I still get chills playing the first one. Jesus it was terrifying.

If i remember correctly it was banned from stores in Sweden, you couldn't buy it.

The funniest thing about Night Trap is that the re-release is rated Teen, and I think that game was responsible for the for creation of the ERSB.

New Zealand actually made owning the 2nd game a felony, because it has piss mechanics.

Estimated time of arrival?

Lel nah, it's the Euskadi Ta Askatasuna, the Basque terrorist group sort of like the YPG and IRA.

spoken like some fag hipster that never played the first one, even GTA is more violent

are we being invaded?

Nigger I can tell you never played this first Postal. It's not like the second one, where everything's like South Park and the deaths are hilarious.

The first game was disturbing as fuck. I would call it a horror shooter based on its music and artwork alone.

I personally think that you're the faggot here, friendo.

I've never played it.
Should I get the remake or try and get the original working?

Found some info:
The boss for the company that was distributing Postal 2 in Sweden got pulled into court due to some law of illegal showing and encouraging of violence. It was overruled in court though so it was probably just some communist bitch trying to suppres some fun.

Are you fucking retarded?
Postal's main menu alone is more violent than 3d gtas put together.

Postal 1 is closer to Hatred than to Postal 2.
And this fag even has the audacity to pretend like he's been here for some time.
inb4 >i was trawling

...

...

Lol, look at all these hipsters babies trying to look edgy.

Over exagerating Postal violence has always been clear sign of poser faggots wanting attention, the game was never anymore violent than other games unless you never played anything, even the humor of the second game was already there. PC games in the late 90's were all about guts and gore, there were tons of games more violent.

Things change though; I remember there was a scene in an old black and white frankenstein movie where he throws a girl into a lake or something. That nearly got the film banned apparently, but today you wouldn't bat an eye.

Communist journalists took issue with the dev bevause they thought that he was a natzee homophobe.

They took issue because they didn't happen to be kosher globalists.

Also, the butthurt Resident Evil V caused because the fact that there are niggers in Africa is somehow racist.

Nowadays? Anything Japan makes that's not named Mario.

Don't forget Metal Gear Solid because a dumb or dishonest (probably both) journalist thought the game urged the actual player, and not the character, to take drugs (Pentazemin). It ended up being pointlessly banned in Catalonia many years after release.

Also Final Fantasy VIII thanks to some autist guy who killed his family with a katana and and since the guy had the game and a haircut somewhat resembling that of Squall, the media blamed the game instead of his mental health.

I remember having problems trying to buy both games because my parents believed all the bullshit. It took a lot to convince them that I wouldn't turn into a drug-addict serial killer

O_o

Funny how you forget shit like that

dobs

I dunno man, I'm still not okay with it.

Custer's Revenge, because even with the "Adult only" label, video games are for children.

Oh boy am I in for cuckoldry and race mixing

Triggered a lot of people, women's rights,anti-porno, Native Americans, Church fags, Parents, and video game reviewers, funny thing is, the publisher didn't die from any lawsuits from the moralfags, it was the crash of 1983 that did them.

race mixing.
But i honestly didn't know this was a swede game.

And it's not a swede game, devs are Americans, it's just a marketing label because the Swede's back then in 1980s weren't cucks yet, they were pretty much the go-to European country for porn, exotic sex and all that shit.

ahhhhhhhhhhhh.
My dad used to have this game, i have some vague memories of me trying to play this and not knowing what the fuck was going on.

Was there fugging

na, i was 4 maybe and i didn't have the hand/eye coordination to dodge arrows.

Add Rapelay, GTA3 "hot coffee" (GTA in general of course), Doom, Duke Nukem 3D.

What's the story with Demonophobia? I've played it but don't know about any specific fuss over it.

It's Germany, but Europe in general got Probotector, kind of sucky.

Demonophobia is controversy free, which is obvious, as it was a Jap indie game that maybe five people played the first year of its release. A Jap indie that has spawned some controversy is 'Teaching Feeling', which has been banned is South Korea as Child Pornography, meaning you can get jail time simply for owning it.

Wew, people really didn't have much to do back then.

are you sure you're not the baby here?

or maybe they had more to do, seeing as how stuff like that didnt really get too much attention.

Typical.

Too bad, bitch. Now they're getting rewards for being progressive.

Fuck need to find a torrent for that which is seeded one day.

I haven't read much on that game but I hear it is about two sisters making a stand in a prevy club of psychopaths. It is an endless game because these guys have no self preservation and the only way for it to end is to lose or killing yourself.

I read about it so what happens if you managed to finish the game without dying even once? Probably nothing.

Spare me a bit more history, it sounds interesting.

ANGERY

Sexual deviancy and cuckdom are not mutually exclusive.

Nobody paid any attention to that turd though.

i was thinking the same thing

it aged like milk but thematically its so fucking bonkers i'd almost want to see it done again

Mortal Kombat started nice… and devolved into a franchise with farting guys, movie character cameos and shit.

She's the worst poseur who plays stupid mobile RTS and hasn't touched her 3DS. Thankfully she never cared for LoL.

...

I liked the def jam games. They were the right type of stupid. Icons was the last original fighting game made.

...

not sure if this counts but 6 days in fallujah. To controversial to get released and see the light of day.

God damn, i'm sure nips who enjoyed those series weep at pachinko machines. What is worse, the west dragging an IP until it's hated ala Mass Effect: Andromeda or pachinko hell like castlevaina, silent hill, ect?

I'd say its about equal of a fate.

Why are you here?

Honestly?

At least Pachinko isn't a real game and it's more like a movie booth that shows game snips. it sucks that the IP is stagnant and you aren't playing it but at least it wasn't anthony birch

Pachinko thankfully at least took a massive gut punch over gambling laws, hence Konami scrambling over to VR to find something to make money on. It was bad, but it wasn't something that would last forever due it basically being a more accessible form of offshore casino.

The west is just dragging games through the mud because they honestly have no idea what they're doing anymore and all the veterans have left.

So what will be the next step in video game regulations? Last time congress did was create ESRB and then left video games alone for a long long time? What will be the next legislation to effect video games?

It still won some awards in i cant remember which VGA.
