The crazy thing about this, people were ok with all this torture porn in movies like Friday the 13th, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, or the Saw series, but will go apeshit about this game.

And of course, somebody will use the victim editor to create somebody out of the real world and all hell will break loose.

This game will be blamed for any violent crime committed in the next 20 years. It will be dubbed a blueprint for murderers .

If I had a friend that bought this game, he would no longer be my friend.

Reminds me of this twisted kid I knew when I was around 6 - 7 years old, who would gather frogs, spiders, etc., and torture them in various ways, like putting the spiders in a jar with sand, and flipping it over, and they would crawl up, and he would flip it over again, and tying little bolts to frog legs, and throwing the into the water, watching them struggle.

I always wondered what that guy is doing today. I wonder if he ever "graduated" up to animals/humans.

What would drive a 6 - 7 year old boy to do those things. Maybe abused at home. Even as a very young kid, at some point, I stopped hanging out with him, as even at that age I understood how disturbing it was, but lacked the moral/emotional strength to do anything about it, like complain to his parents. I think I mentioned it to my Mom, but don't think I was taken seriously.

I think he met the definition of a psychopath.
I think it is very common that children and teens like that are abused physically or emotionally by their parents. Not always of course. Some really are psychopaths or are too young to understand what they are doing.

Is not like I've something against the setting, beeing a sick maniac in a game could be fun, problem is the trailer looks like crap.

Yeah, I’m good.

But, if some people can fulfill their fantasies through this instead of say torturing animals then that’s a good thing.
That's my take on this... Very repugnant imo and this definitely is not for me but I hope it helps some people ventile some instincts away for reality...

Kinda amazing the Manhunt franchise was killed by the ESRB but this shit will just be sold as-is

oh my god. is this legal?

Weird, we spend hours shooting people, blowing limbs off, running them over.
killing, killing, shooting, bang, bang.
But a game centered around torture feels so wrong.

I dont know... jesus christ

Victim Character Creator is a new thing in the world. I imagine all the incels will customize them to look like the girl they are obsessed with in high school but who would never speak to them, and whom they could never work up the courage to ever approach.

Looks...dark, but I am a firm believer in art being expressed in nearly every venue (as long as it doesn't hurt anyone)

The premise of kidnapping victims and setting them up in a kill or be killed scenario is quite intriguing though...

So that having been said hope they're able to make thier vision reality, but PLEASE learn from Agony mistakes and fix major issues and focus on GP first lol

This is certainly interesting, I probably wouldn’t play it myself but it’s certainly different, I wouldn’t judge someone for playing this either. I mean we live in a world where the movie The Human Centipede exists and it even spawned more horrendous sequels, so while some concern and outrage is warranted, the entire “Only psychos play this” is kind of ridiculous lol.

It will probably need to be edited and stuff cut from it like Agony before it can get a M rating from ESRB.
 
I can usually stomach some brutal shit but this....this is some sociopathic, H.R Giger + Clive Barker + Eli Roth Green Inferno on steroids and then some, twisted shit.
 
If you're this edgy and tryhard after the age of 19, the chance of you ever knowing a woman in the Biblical sense start dropping dramatically.

I think it's different when you're playing as the torturer. Flip it around and you're a victim and escaping (as horror films frame it) and most people wouldnt bat an eye.

The game doesn't offend me but it does just seem like edgy crap to appeal to autistic children.
