Ummm, well, so long as it isn't purely for shock value, and so long as it doesn't implcitly condone and make sport of whatever it is...

Donnieboi3886d ago

Oddworld games have always had the underlying theme of harshness, slavery, brutality and mental cruelty as a theme. The creatures were even being forced to work as slaves while they're eyes were surgically removed, only to take the bone's of their comrades and turn them into an ingredient for soft drinks. Weird--yes, but also shows how cruel slavery/captivity can get (think of the cruelty shown towards Holocaust victims and how they were dismembered, tortured, experimented on, and not fed, etc) for example.

"you must be fun at parties"
N4G isn't a party.., God forbid someone talk about games on a gaming website.

"you must be fun at parties"
no offense, but that is somthing slow people say when they don't want to engage in intelligent conversation because they know they can't keep up"

"you must be fun at parties"
funny, everyone i know who says that are the ones who can't hold their liquor and end up ruining the party.

WeAreLegion3886d ago

Awesome. I'll buy anything this guy makes.

CandyFace3886d ago

Metoo! The Oddworld Games were awesome and i can't imagine something new by this lovely company to be any less amazing. Take my got damn money.

Kenshin_BATT0USAI3886d ago

Ok...? It's not gonna be hard to top it. The torture scene wasn't NEARLY as bad as what are in movies and such.

jukins3886d ago

that what i was thinking. I heard all the hooplah about the torture scene in gtav and when I got to it and through it I thought to myself I've seen way worse many times and not just recently.

Kenshin_BATT0USAI3886d ago

Honestly, I wasn't even aware THAT was the torture scene in question. I thought another one happened later in the game that was gonna be far worse(cutting someone's limb off with hepatic feedback) Now that would have been bad.

Bathyj3886d ago

Wow. You got old Lorne. I still see you as the guy with the long black hair and evil looking beard.

whitesoxfalife19763886d ago

Hey thas me with long dark that feels like ice as it blows pass the fearful and the scary beard twisted like the dancer himself

i think the only real loss is GTAV

OtterX8d ago

I think everyone and their sister owns the game by now. They likely want to squeeze the rest of the holdouts before GTAVI releases.

Profchaos7d ago

That game comes and goes from subscriptions so frequently I think it's expected now. Like rdr2 on gamepass Rockstar Games only last a max of 3 months On a service

MrBaskerville7d ago

Talos Principle is the real loss.

BanginTunes7d ago

Facts that game is good as fuck I'm playing through 2 now, very underrated

Huey_My_D_Long8d ago

indivisible was pretty neat. Cute artstyle, fun throwback to older RPGs, shame its leaving but it is on sale often

shinoff21837d ago

Definitely. I e joyed what I played of it. Still gotta grab the physical at some point

Petebloodyonion8d ago

I'm not surprised by GTA V removal, Rockstar never allows this game to stay long on a subscription service.
They usually allow 4 to 6 months.

lodossrage8d ago

Yeah, they do that routinely with both GTA and Red Dead.

But it's because they know they can still sell them so they take them off and on to these sub services in cycle.

The weird thing to me is why is anyone still buying those games at this point? You would think after 3 generations of being sold GTA 5 that everyone and their momma would have it by now

RNTody7d ago

I fail to see how the loss of an almost 11 year old game that released across 3 generations is in any way a problem.
