"HATRED" Video Game is back on Steam Greenlight

Yep, kudos to him!

you just described most games that are released these days...

Then just don't buy it. I don't like MMOs, sports games, most F2P games, Minecraft clones, Early Access crap/scams, the list goes on. Doesn't mean I want to deny the right to buy these games from the people who want them.

In fact, I likely would never buy Hatred unless it was in a bundle, but I won't try and censor/ban it either.

I've seen a lot of them. Voted no in every case.

I just hate when people are releasing junk products and call it great for one reason or another. And this one just looks bad. You walk, you shoot and it is about the same as in Crusader: No remorse. Or even less interesting. (I haven't seen anything which resembles "find the red key" quest - not to mention anything more complex) The scenery looks repetitive. The objects fly to hand to cover poor animations, (at the beginning when this guy picks up items they start moving before he touches them, at 1:21 the police car moves for no reason at all, at 1:06 main character stabs himself before killing victim) and characters look terrible. (proportions are off, clothing is repetitive) I mean that if I see intro and my first thought is - I could do this better - than it is not the game I want to buy. And I am a programmer not animator.

Also here to cover poor quality of their product by shoving controversy. If the game got less complex game mechanics than Call Of Duty- and what's worse it looks like it has also a very simple gameplay (simple mechanics and complex gameplay is very good thing - I can't see this in here) - and the only thing worse than this is complex mechanics and simple gameplay. And to cover it up they are putting killing random people to attract 10-year old kids - because this is their target market. Teens and pre-teens. 80% of adults would be just bored by playing this game for more than 10 minutes.

Look for example at the backgrounds. One texture for grass billboards, one for asphalt, one for grass. Trees from SpeedTree, and buildings with the same repeating pattern on all walls. I could write a script to create a lot of buildings like this (and most likely I will in Febuary or March) in just few seconds.

Also I meet the Devs and read few articles about them. They never made a good impression on me, and I seriously doubt that they could make a good game - here they are not even trying. Mindless violence is the only thing in this game - and it is their only selling point.

And this is a promotion video. Still they managed to get so many thing wrong in just less than 2 minutes, while trying to make a game look as good as possible. And if they got not enough content for proper trailer than why we should believe that they will create a good game? I mean repetitive environments may look good in such sort bursts of gameplay (have you noticed that they never show more than 3 seconds of gameplay without switching to different scene?) but it is repetitive in a long run - and boring after a short time.

The only thing which looks good is Engine. And it is not hard when you license Unreal Engine 4. But I don't want to buy an engine. I want to buy a game.

And this is why I voted no. And I encourage everybody else to do so.
