    Pues no vale para nada. Me llamó mucho la atención cuando en su día lo anunciaron, por el morbo y el tema insano de masacrar inocentes sin discreción, pero más allá de los primeros minutos y la impresión inicial de encarnar a un psicópata asesino de masas, el juego es insulso y repetitivo.

    Simplemente vas avanzando por diferentes zonas con un objetivo numérico de individuos masacrados. A medida que vas matando aparecen oleadas de enemigos que son las fuerzas de seguridad, cada vez mejor armados y protegidos para acabar contigo. Lo que lo convierte en un twin stick shooter muy sencillo de masacre por oleadas. En este punto hay que comentar que el juego es solo parcialmente compatible con un game pad, por lo que tendrás que jugarlo con teclado y ratón y es impreciso hasta decir basta, por lo que de twin stick shooter, en realidad, es solo sobre el papel. Como gracia adicional en los diferentes niveles hay objetivos secundarios en los que encontrar nuevas armas, chalecos antibalas o puntos de respawn, que básicamente hacen las veces de vidas. Si terminas las vidas en una zona vuelves a empezar desde el principio con tu objetivo de masacre principal. Sin más, no tiene más.

    Hay gente que le recuerda a Postal. Un juego que en los noventa llamó mucho la atención por partir de una premisa similar a este. Por lo que, en mi opinión pierde el factor de innovación en su concepción argumental, es decir, ni siquiera es original, es una copia de un clásico. Por lo que… a no ser que te llamara la atención por que eres un pifiado de los videojuegos y te diera morbo su premisa y además lo encuentres a precio de derribo…. (yo no pagaría más de 2€ por esto) puedes ahorrártelo, no te va a aportar nada. Al menos nada que no se haya visto ya mejor hecho.    … Expand

The controls suck, the shooting feels completely unsatisfying and lacking in impact, the difficulty is massively inflated because the developers just thought 'oh yeah let's just throw **** a bazillion enemies in' and the gameplay loop is so boring, uninspired and repetitive that I think I would rather play Hunt Down the Freeman.

    Then there's the story. Edgy isn't quite the right word to describe it. **** moronic is more what I like to say. It wants to appeal to those annoying **** that act as if everyone is a terrible person and we should just commit genocide because isn't that just such a mature, thought provoking, well thought out idea?

    Yeah you can not convince me that the devs of this game have ever had a normal conversation with another person outside of circle jerking with other edgy kids on **** about how much they hate the world.

    So **** gameplay paired with an insufferable, irritating story.

    Imagine you took the first Postal game and removed all the impact, thought, self awareness and substance, and you'd get this game.

    Overall, **** game with nothing of value for anyone who isn't an insufferable **** who hates everything because they think it makes them mature    … Expand

    Many issues like low framerate, graphical glitches, execution glitches, terrible camera position, bad voice acting from the main character, and stupid AI hold it back from being really good.

    I get that they were going for a Postal style game here, with the camera locked in a overhead view. However, Postal did it because of how it was designed. This game could have easily been modified to be played in 3rd person. The main character sounds like someone trying to force themselves to act 'edgy', and 'threaten'. Why the AI runs back into the same house their buddy was just shot it destroys the whole point of people 'scared for their life.'

    Somethings are done right, like the environmental destruction, voicing acting of the civilians and executions, to a certain extend.

    One thing that was also blown way out of portion was the executions. They are supposed to be this gnarly showcase of dying in the worse possible way, but I've seen better, and even more gruesome executions in games like Manhunt 2, and The Punisher.

    Hatred can be enjoyable, but I find that the game is more of a publicity stunt, then an actual game.    … Expand

    The most terrific game, that I have ever seen. Stupid AI, bad animations, terrible optimization, color gamma is awful, and the absence of storyline at all. The gameplay is so boring that the only thing that you want - to end this game as fast as you can. The main character has no motivation and he kills people just because he is evil.
    It is one of the worst games that I have ever played.

    In all honesty 90% of this game's fame is based purely on its famous controversy. Without this coating - its just a generic shooter. Grab it if discounted to check 'what's all about'. Otherwise - don't bother.

Indeed, if you've played GTA, Saint's Row, or even Dishonored, you honestly won't find the death included in Hatred very interesting.

    Let's say you're not invested in the violence; what about game play? What you have is essentially an old-school top-down shooter/bullet hell. Is it new, flavorful, or innovative in any way? No, not really. If you're new to the genre then you may be able to extract some semblance of enjoyment from Hatred, but you're honestly better off just playing a free flash game online that has similar gameplay.

    It's clear that the dirty developers played up the controversy for sales, most likely knowing that the game would perform poorly if they didn't drum up some kind of gimmick. I will admit, it's current price tag of around $7.00 is a bit high, but not too far from unreasonable. If you must purchase the game, wait for a 50% off sale or just playing something else, except better.    … Expand

    I played Hatred with an open mind, because this is a game and the only things that matter is gameplay, story and/or fun.

    Gameplay: Few actual mechanics to the game and most of them are poorly executed, as an example, camera angle makes it hard to gauge whether your enemy is within Line of Sight or if you are just looking into a wall/door. Aiming down sight moves your entire screen/cross-hair, which makes aiming for difficult and the increased precision is irrelevant.

    Storyline: Non-existent.

    Fun: The game takes the whole massacre thing way too seriously and unlike other games similar violence level, doesn't have anything else in it's favor other than random killing, which makes the game boring.

    Graphics: The atmosphere is appropriate to the setting however the animations are subpar.

    In conclusion, it seems that positive reviews rest on the single fact that 'killing is fun' in the game, but personally, killing just for killing without anything else (comedy factor, plot, etc) adding to it, is just boring.    … Expand

    First and foremost, the low grade is not due to me being a finger-waggling and "oh how could you" spouting person who doesn't understand how mowing down rows of innocent bystanders could be fun. Quite the opposite, I was one of those that saw the trailers, saw the mowing down of people and went howling into the night how much I want it because it actually does look like fun. You know, fun?First and foremost, the low grade is not due to me being a finger-waggling and "oh how could you" spouting person who doesn't understand how mowing down rows of innocent bystanders could be fun. Quite the opposite, I was one of those that saw the trailers, saw the mowing down of people and went howling into the night how much I want it because it actually does look like fun. You know, fun? Remember that? What we used to play games for? Before it became a second job (like the MMO du jour) or an excuse for not doing our first one (like the Facebook timewaster games). Fun.

    And that's exactly what the game fails at. It makes mowing down innocent victims and bystanders who have done nothing wrong but getting out of bed in the morning and getting in the path of our antisocial protagonist at exactly the wrong time not only boring but a chore. That's a feat and a half if you think about it.

    Lemme be level here, it starts out ok. You start the game, you walk down the street, blazing guns mow down a couple dozen innocent victims. Nothing wrong so far, all fun and game, we're building character here... or wait, we don't. First of all, there is exactly zero emotional attachment to our protagonist. He's as blank as the average angsty goth teen (which is, I'd wager, coincidentally the target audience of the game, after all you SHOULD somehow identify with your character) whose outlook on life and the reaction he garners from anyone dealing with him is the same: A heartfelt MEH.

    There's simply no motivation. But that's fine, that's ok, hey, who needs a game to motivate you to mow down a dozen human beings or a score? Maybe your life or at least your day already gave you enough of a motivation for this and you doing it in a computer game is just your way of doing it in a socially halfway acceptable way. That's ok, that's cool.

    But, and that's the part where I get pissed off, the fatal flaw of the game, the one thing that (oddly, as it may sound) is the killer here, the part that constitutes the piece of poop in the Pringles can: Killing those people has a purpose. Yes, you heard me. I did say HAS a purpose. No, I did not forget to negate that. The very fact that killing those people has a purpose is the big letdown here for me.

    Allow me to elaborate how my antisocial, highly antagonistic and misanthropic mind works.

    The game rewards your killing sprees and mindless rampage with you regaining health from everyone you deliver from living to dead with the aid of highly accelerated metal spat from the tip of your gun. Why health you may ask. Well, the reason why you need health is the army of policemen, soldiers and whatever else one could think up to stop a ravaging madman from becoming the world record holder in the body-count category. And that's what pisses me off: I have to kill these people. It's not something I do because I wanna and because it's fun (remember, fun? Why we should play games?). Me going into that cafe and doing a pirouette on my toe-tips with the trigger firmly squeezed is not done so I get some cheap laugh out of people screaming and running for their lives and begging me not to find out how many bullets are needed to sever a limb of someone trying to avoid that. It's something I HAVE to do because outside the local police force made a picnic and found out that shooting stuff is fun and me giving them a good excuse to do it delights them so much that they have to spend their annual budget for bullets today and right now.

    And then it stops being fun. It starts being a requirement. A chore.

    And that takes away the fun of being a ravaging lunatic on a killing spree rampage. The whole point behind that being that you're god. You decide who gets to live and who gets to die. That's what makes mindless killing sprees fun. I liked your begging and groveling, mortal, you may live another day, begone now. But you over there, I didn't like your nose. Boom, headshot. See? Fun.

    That's not the case here. I cannot deliberately decide to NOT kill someone. That's the whole point of being "in control", of having "the power". Having a choice. You don't have that choice. And even if you had it, it doesn't matter. You simply don't get to care about the humans you kill. They lack any kind of personality, any kind of individuality, anything that makes them more than the million other "kill me for points" sprites that littered the screens of computer games since the times Space Invaders tried to kill your pixel tank. They're so interchangeable and bland. Nondescript. Can't we at least get a school class of kids so there would be at least a little bit of a hesitation? Well, not for me (being the antisocial bastard that I am, I'd go out of my way to kill them so they drop in an aesthetically pleasing way), but there are allegedly people who do care for kids enough to at least hesitate a moment before deciding that smaller targets just mean higher challenge.

    TL;DR: It's Diablo, just without the loot collection.    … Expand
