Hatred selling more than Witcher 3 and GTA V on Steam at the moment

MWEB GameZone writes: "It's disturbing that Hatred released yesterday and it's already number one on Steam's popular new releases and top sellers lists. It's selling better than GTA V, CS: Global Offensive and The Witcher 3!

Why are people so fascinated with the freedom to massacre as many innocents as possible? Perhaps people are playing it because Hatred was the topic of controversy?

[Sillicur]

I guess any publicity is good publicity rings true !

[Rimeskeem]

I have a feeling after a while people are going to call this game overrated piece of sh** and starting hating on it.

[HanCilliers]

What he said.

[mikeslemonade]

Good news, I like games that test boundaries.

[helterskelter]

Violence for the sake of Violence wears thin after a while! They could have put it in more context or include a social narrative!
As you said people will be embarrassed to have this game in their library!

[Psychotica]

It's not that bad for $20. The gamepad controls are just plain horrible imo though. I bought it because it kind of reminded me of playing postal 1 way back when..

[DDOS-DelDaemonicOSes]

@mikeslemonade, I like people Realizing that those boundaries are all about how far people can go without realizing they're being symbolically retarded (thus an I.Q. test), such as people who like this game can now claim, "I like\love\enjoy\paid for Hatred".

One of the largest (I.Q.) tests of ignor(e)ance boundaries are people who think nothing of CLAUS going ON A sLAY MISSION to FirePlace... until men Realize why that is, men will doubt that God Writes history in Symbolic ways, and until that day comes, men are destine to be m"ass" retarded, AKA they're all destine to be fLAMERS.

Obviously, I also think all daemonic OSes, such as the base OS for PS4 with a devil as a mascot, need to be 86ed.

It doesn't surprise me that "Valve allowed Hatred for profit", especially since they're for SteamOS that is daemonic.

@Disagree, on the topic of "Hatred" and how that God Writes history symbolically, notice how "HITler" is spelled, and take a look at his father, Alois HITler, on Wikipedia to see picture perfect symbolism of AN ASS BEATER, AKA HITler. Adolf's father was the "ROD children or they spoil" type of Catholic that resulted in HITler... that's also what causes school shootings, though men are too ignor(e)ant to Realize it... they only know that bullies are generally the cause, though they still think that "teaching asses lessons" is what makes for better children... while really, it causes bullies that think they're being adult when they pain the asses of the younger to "teach their asses lessons" the way they're m"ass" retarded parents taught them is how to be "a man's man". <- CLUE about how beating ass is fLAMER.

Teaching children to pain ass to solve problems and to "beat ass LIKE a man" is what causes HITlers, AKA "bad asses", that believe paining ass is necessary for BENDING TO WILLie, and God Writes examples all through history, though men are too stupid to Realize it, such as God put cockerel plumes on the heads of the Greeks and Romans as they practiced sticking asses with swords and knives while glorifying fairy gods... in other words, God symbolized Greeks and Romans as cock(erel)y bird brains that wore skirts while stabbing asses, yet NO ONE REALIZES THE INSULT\JOKE! God insults fLAMERS in such ways, as the author of Hatred probably is written, though we don't know (how) the (devil is in the) "details".

It is possible to see similar examples all through history, such as Michael "JackSon" is "bad" and has "the beat it feeling" as he decides "he doesn't want A PAIR" (of gloves)... God makes him dance BACKWARDS with the moonwalk for symbolizing how fairy men are BACKWARDS, as he sings "HeHe" about the joke, etc.

God Writes the devil as symbolic jokes that are about fLAMERS (sort of a "comedic ROAST", look that up if you don't know what it is), thus why the term is "HeHe" for "funny", AKA what people say about fLAMERS is that they're "funny", etc. The symbolism continues all through men's Intelligence in too many ways to list here. LOOK WRITE UNDER NOSE FOR CLUES, such as religious men getting bent while saying "ahh men" is obviously "m-ass" retarded and how they're written to be "funny". God isn't spiritual is why they're insulted (because they spread fairy tales, God Wills some even spread their own "tails" while saying "ahh men", etc.). The Creator's Intelligence=247=Everything Is Made Of Math=247=Creation Is Programmatic=247. <- An example of "Sum Proof"=123 (A=1, Z=26, thus Sequential=123, etc.).

[Thatguy-310]

I mean it just came out so of course it will sell a lot because of all the publicity the game has gotten. I'm pretty sure that by next week the story will be different.

[HanCilliers]

Did you check the Steam user reviews? Seems like they think it's the next big thing.

http://www.mweb.co.za/games...

[ZaWarudo]

You know, at first when i saw the trailer i was disgusted at the way the civilians begged and grovel before you murder them, but after watching gameplay and hearing the cheesy one-liners i feel a lot less disturbed.
I even laughed a couple times.

I would like to play this now lol.

[ShadowWolf712]

Well when you play it up as Satan incarnate and slap an AO rating on there, of course people are gonna be curious and buy it to see what all the fuss is about. Hell, you'd have ensured this mediocre game woulda just faded into obscurity had you forgone pandering to Outrage Culture and just ignored it.

[Pixelart]

Most people are buying this on GOG since its DRM free. That's why. Steam is all but 1 vendor.

[Dan50]

That would have happened if GOG decided to carry it, but the did not.

[Ocsta]

You suck Mankind. You suck.

[madjedi]

Likely no actual human being was injured or killed in the making of this game.

So why all the false moral outrage, I am concerned with how they treat other living human beings and animals, not a bunch of lifeless pixels.

I would guess one reason it is selling is to give people like you and the thought police mob the middle finger.

I am not interested in the game, but drop bs outrage unless it actually involves real life people dying or suffering.

[Bathyj]

Whats disturbing about it? Get of your damn high horse. If grown adults want to play it they should be able to.

[HanCilliers]

According to Steam reviews people play it 'cause

"Reminds me of my highschool fantasies." And such things.

The "shocked is in relation to GTAV and W3.

[PaleMoonDeath]

Trolling reviews dude, folk must be from 4Chan.

[madjedi]

Right because everyone on the internet is always 100% truthful and people won't make things up for shits and giggles.

Look harder for things that prove your narrative.

[KryptoniteTail]

Great, I hope they tackle more controversial concepts. They did murder, maybe next should be an arsonist game called Pyrage, a rape game called Frustration, or a suicide game called Despair. Lots of AO concepts available.

[xTheMercenary_]

Was about to say this was false, went to check steam and realised hatred isn't there. I live in Australia so i think they've disallowed the purchase in Australia, that's why i don't see it on top. Currently its Lego worlds at number one followed by gta v and the witcher 3.

[Tex117]

I would like to thank Outrage Culture and Gaming journalism for giving an otherwise mediocre game all the press it needed.

Without you guys, this game would have sold about 4 copies and never heard from again.

</sarcasm>

[finite]

Derp, the game has just been released this is kinda obvious, click bait crap

[HanCilliers]

Actually, it's a press release, read article

[FattyBoy3D]

Controversy breeds sales

[kaicooper]

Hatred..
one of the most game ive been waiting for
and now its one of the worst games ever

Poor Optimization
No Story
same shit over and over
just shoot..thats it..no missions..nothing

2/10

[toejo78]

It's nothing to do with Hatred and all to do with steams disgraceful pricing of GTA and Witcher. The Witcher is half the price on Cd keys.

[--bienio--]

Basically Hatred is a middle finger to Microsoft and Sony policy which is good.
Btw poor consoles players still have to wait for latest patch for Witcher 3 ( blame Microsoft/Sony) not Cd-Project Red. Always one step behind Pc or Two :D

[hiredhelp]

Your a real happy Gamer arnt ya Eh.

[ElementX]

Personally I bought Witcher and GTA from another site because they had great discounts. Steam isn't the only online retailer and people do compare prices. GreenManGaming has a great discount on the GOG version of Witcher currently in the VIP section

[iistuii]

Watched it on YouTube & it just doesn't sit right with me. I'm all for GTA style violent games, but when it's just citizens begging for their lives whilst you execute them, I'm not sure I could play it. One scene reminded me of a terrorist act on the news last year. The actual game looks great. If it was zombies or drug gang warfare, where they're scum yeah, but begging civilians nah, not for me.

[2cents]

agree totally.

The sad thing now is that any politician, media outlet, religious organization etc. will be able to reference this game as proof positive that games lead to........ (fill in the blank) for any type of violent act carried out by people that fit into the gaming demographic.

I shudder to think if there is another school massacre or public shooting and the person involved is found to have this game on his pc.

Our beloved pastime is gonna get lynched.

[Tapani]

From what I understand it's actually a bad game, is this true? So the game is about gore, killing and hate, but does it have a meaning or substance?

[Psychotica]

The meaning is to entertain I think..

[kraenk12]

The only meaning is to be bold and provocative.

[MilkMan]

Wasnt it taken off Steam?

[Pastorfuzz]

It was for a while but it's back on again.

[MilkMan]

This is good. Not that I love the game but Steam never should have taken it off to begin with. Let the game stand on its own merit, if its lame then it wont generate sales. Besides there are other games on Steam that are like this game and its hypocritical to focus on this one and make it an example.

[eddieistheillest]

No hope for a console version 😧

[Dan50]

Perhaps in Europe where it is allowed to have 18+ games.

[eddieistheillest]

Hopefully I can import it or just make a EU account to download it. 🙌

[Dan50]

That is what I did, I made a UK account.

[2cents]

So Australia and Germany are the only countries that deemed this pile of sh1t unworthy for release.

Hats off to you both!

The rest of the world gets to rot their brains and desensitize their morals.

[theshredded]

LOL @PC gaming

[KillerPwned]

Hoping the developers add on to this game especially Steam Workshop for people that preordered their is suppose to be something special coming for those.

I did notice on release day the game recieved 3 updates so its good to know they are active on the game to support it.

[NerveGearneeded]

the developers must be fans of George Carlin

[johny5]

Wouldn't it be cool if we had a Hatred game, but based in the Middle Ages? Imagine the fun going around killing all the would-be royals walking the streets!

[stanr]

Jokes on them, I only played in for 42min before demanding a refund from Steam.
