Anyone heard about this game before? on 6/27/2015 11:05:45 AM
Wow, I'm surprised you, of all people, haven't heard of it. I played a bit, got bored, then stopped. The execution scenes were pretty weak - even my seven year old nephew asked "Was that it?" after most of the executions. You generally also get bored of all the killing after a short while. I feel these reviews I got from Wikipedia pretty much sum up the game:
GameSpot felt that the gameplay of Hatred lacked variation, arguing that the game "fails even at being dangerous." Similarly, Jim Sterling, while criticizing the tone, concluded that "worse than that – we got a damn boring game" Rock, Paper, Shotgun felt that the "most of all, [Hatred] fails to be a controversial, shocking experience". Chris Carter of Destructoid was also critical of the one-note gameplay, while also reporting technical issues on release. Richard Cobbett of The Guardian described the controversy as being "about the feuding around the game rather than the game itself", calling the final product a "a bland monochrome rehash" of Postal.
