Outlast was 10x more disturbing and fucked up than Manhunt but didn't generate 1% of the controversy.

DARLING
Because it was an indie game and the studio's first major project without any brand recognition.
Thought that was York from Deadly Premonition kek.
needed more penis gore
Manhunt was released in the era of "Satantic Scare". We had retard priests and dipshits like Jack Thompson taking every interview possible to decry violent video games.
Now people know violent video games have near to zero effect on the populace. Millions of people play these games and feel no need to commit similar acts in reali life.
The thing in manhunt was that you perform the executions, in outlast you only run away from psychos
Wait til you hear about outlast trials
Nah, Penumbra and Amnesia TDD were more disturbing.
Rockstar literally deblierately manufactured controversy for their games as publicity

I hate "helpless protagonist" games so much
I dunno mate, the bible thumpers turned out to be right about everything else.
Is this that retarded game where the two naked dudes try to rape you, some crazy doctor cuts your fingers off and they kill you after you beat the last boss?
The moral panics were vindicated years ago. You "miss le 90's" because you failed to see how the slippery slope was already in motion
Not really. They were very hit and miss. Especially depending on the sect.
Trials is better. Outlast 1/2 are scripted corridor simulators with no real tension.
Yeah hahah
noooooo when I come home from earning Mr. Finkelberg an yacht and after navigating the wifey's dialogue trees and putting the crotchgoblins to sleep I just want to feel like a goddamn superhero!
You're not helpless though, you're fast enough to run away a lot of the time unlike other survival horror (hiding and waiting) games.
By 2013 normgroids were used to the torture horror porn
all I do all day is defended shit games on Anon Babble, get heckin trolled chudcels.
Trials is good but really? Definitely the opposite, being with other people and doing the same missions repeatedly removes any tension. If you didn't get scared by anything in outlast 1 or 2 you might have a touch of the tism.
TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS
I wonder what leads a human being to refer to children as "crotchgoblins"
They didn't really manufacture it they just leaned into it while also heavily bribing ratings boards
It wasn't. Outlast isn't scary becuse all the horror gets watered down by the devs shoving in a bunch of ridiculous shit like a nanomachine demon created by a old fuck nazi and the Murkoff Corporation being a bunch of comically evil bastards being like "hmmm yeeees today we will rip off a man's balls for science or something ohohohoho"
Manhunt is still scary because the shit it portrays is something that happened, happens and will happen for as long as sick fucks with an appetite for violence exist
literal who's first game
rockstar
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Weren't chuds mad at the 2nd one?
Rockstar generates it's own controversy to sell games.
making a game called Grand Theft Auto, where a major publicized talking point is you can kill prostitutes
making a game called "manhunt", exactly when media talking heads were losing their minds about "murder sims"
making a game set in a schoolyard called "Bully" (you do not play as a bully in the game, but a lovable Dennis the Menace)
They knew exactly what they were doing with all of that stuff. They quite literally call themselves "Rockstar Games".
No one gives a shit about Outlast, because it's a game called Outlast, and no one told them what to be mad about.
i think its just anyone with a little taste, it was indeed kinda shit.
So you play as a bitch ass nigga?
Being transgender or a bitter femoid who deep within realizes being a mentally ill whore made her completely undesirable for anything other than being a cumdump
nigga, is you fo real with this shit rn?
Get with the times, grandpa. The bible thumpers were right, and Rage Against The Machine are pro-establishment cucks.
There's no horror if you can kill them.
Shepard.
Manhunt also had two big factors going for it being the low hanging, fat fruit target that it was.
Rockstar, a much larger dev
Peak Jack Thompson era pearl clutching/settlement begging with him going on every talking head segment that'll take him on Fox/CNN
NTA but Trials still has a different tone of violence compared to Manhunt. In Manhunt, you're grabbing weapons and doing cool takedowns yourself with grungy everyday items like plastic bags or broken glass caught on camera for snuff points, and in Trials by comparison, typically you're killing an anonymous, bag-headed snitch with an overly elaborate Ruth Goldberg machine or using high tech kit items or a detonator for the ugly niggas with bombs in they heads. It does really show though just how divorced the current era is where a decently sized indie game can release where you do a coop action to saw off a crucified Jesus-proxy's legs with little to no lashback.
It was a different time
back when a bad guy cutting your dick off was something out of a horror game, now people do it for fun
because in Outlast you don't get to kill people in gruesome ways
the music is still nice to hear though, does it really matter?

Fixed it for you.
The bible thumpers were right
about what exactly? because the satanic panic made them even complain about shit like pokemon. they were overzealous and reactionary. they cared not for understanding anything, just cramming everything within their narrow worldview. as long as their pastors were okay with something, so were they. absolute cattle.
Rage Against The Machine are pro-establishment cucks.
yes, that's true. but so are bible thumpers. but the "establishment" is an amorphous blob that takes the shape of whatever it needs to to convince the right populations in the right way at the right time.
do you think it's possible now for an indie studio to create a Manhunt like game and not get blasted over it by the public?
asking for a friend
Outlast Trials has a trial where you inject a guy with STD contaminated urine and nobody has said a peep about it.
make it but in the style of REPO, lethal company, etc. if it's a streamer game then it will get lots of views and attention, the public will get assblasted by it but it will also be very successful which will in turn make more people confident that they can make games like that which will in turn make people more desensitized to that type of game and care less in the long run.
probably, last time was Hatred in 2015, was their first game i think.
jumpscare simulator
disturbing
yeah it's disturbing how outlast helped accelerate the death of horror
pro establishment cucks
Both parties are pro Israel, how is it pro establishment to go against that?
Outlast 2 has a pregnant woman giving birth and then dying from bloodloss, and schoolgirls raped by demons and then murdered. And more. Literally nobody cares about these games besides the first one, and only barely. I've always called it a "Pewdiepie game", a spooky scary meme game for youtube and twitch streamers.
helped accelerate the death of horror
by having everyone go against it making cheap scares and loud noises? it's not the outlast devs fault for future devs not following the good path
Do you think AOC is not the establishment? There are many angles to opposing to Israel, and one of them is browns seeing them as white colonizers.
Manhunt like game and not get blasted over it by the public?
That's fine and below controversy notice at this point. You'd get more in more "real" trouble for touching on any idpol sacred Type1/2 cows, defaming the religion of peace, hurting the feelings of the Chinese people they WILL steam review bomb you en.wikipedia.org
I felt like those games felt too tryhard at times, like a serbian film or cannibal corpse levels of trying to make the player cringe.
Like we get it after the first guy we saw jacking off on a pile of corpses or a dead guy with his severed head sewn on his ass as a mock birth.
Because it wasn't 1% as cool.
A little bit since they took offense at the villains being hillbillies. Pedos liked it since there was a lot of implied child abuse. However I think everyone found it annoying because you needed to read comics and an arg for the story to make sense.
Outlast is just schlock Amnesia.
Outlast Trials is definitely too tryhardy
At this point you get chased by slasher villains and missions involve putting people through drawn out overdesigned executions while Murkoff sickos watch and take notes, its kinda comedic
Manhunt is still scary because the shit it portrays is something that happened
When did an entire city get locked down just so some washed up director could film snuff movies all over it?
They were not, even in Satanic panic they hyperfocused on niche popular culture and completely ignored everything going on in mass media and Hollywood.
For example Patricia Pulling was a massive anti-occult campaigner, but she chose to die on the hill of insisting that Necronomicon (which is invention of H.P Lovecraft and was widely featured in his works and Call of Cthulhu RPG) is a real satanic grimoire that is really being distributed to teenagers of America by Satan worshipers, and she made it the most important issue in her activism.
them even complain about shit like pokemon
All you're doing is taking one or two examples from the worst of it and saying that was the whole thing.
This is the problem with being a midwit. In lieu of principles and virtues you just default to somewhere along the lines of both sides are wrong, which just enforces the status quo at the end of the day.
Bible thumpers were absolutely right in principle and that's the takeaway here. They were concerned that entertainment had a sinister agenda to hypnotize the population into accepting their own societal decay and that's what ultimately happened. The shit about Pokémon is a footnote that you're using to deflect criticism but it's just a way for you to not wanna commit to any side, which again justenforces the side with the most power. It's not the Bible thumpers. It's never been the Bible thumpers.
The establishment is a clear political entity. Jack Thompson was never part of the establishment. You're full of shit.
We're getting to the point where leftists are the counterculture anti-establishment ones again.
every comment section on youtube on videos about immigration or transgenders is full of chuds
can't go 5 minutes on any social media platform (besides reddit i guess) without some grifters regurgitating maga talking points
fox news is one of the biggest media channels in the world
right wing podcasters are some of the biggest influencers in the world
trump won the popular vote
If the media is trying silence or censor conservative voices, it's doing a pretty terrible job.
Time to go back to being Jack Thompson.
They never talked about "societal decay", they were hysterical about nerds throwing dice to see how much damage fireball does to a goblin.
All you're doing is taking one or two examples from the worst of it and saying that was the whole thing.
the vast majority of it boiled down the equivalent of complaining about pokemon or D&D or GTA or whatever else. like said, they didn't care about societal decay, at least not in any way that mattered. they cared about an aesthetic more than anything and were upset at that, not that the aesthetic actually leads to the decay that they claimed to care about. like i said, they were/are cattle who just care about what their pastors said/say. barely any thought going on in their heads.
In lieu of principles and virtues you just default to somewhere along the lines of both sides are wrong
no, you retard. i have principals. what i said is not "both sides are wrong". what i said is "they are both on the same side". and stop pretending that reality is two dimensional or two sided. it isn't one or the other, there is a third path and a fourth path and many more. people sometimes may appear opposed, yet are actually working toward the same goal (and that goal may be being worked toward through their conflict/opposition).
The establishment is a clear political entity.
if the emperor is naked, why don't you point it out?
There is a politician who is slightly for a certain cause while all other more established and powerful politicians on both sides of the aisle are for the opposite
This means it is pro establishment to support the cause
Also I am not racist so none of your argument are really doing it for me
Outlast was neither scary, or fun. It's a shitty on-rails visual novel disguised as a videogame. None of it's theme or content was presented in any kind of compelling tone.
Outlast Trials looks fun though
Urban decay is a real thing
Snuff movies are real
Tons of sick fucks walk around willing to kill someone in a messed up way
Just look at some famous shock/gore videos that got shared around the internet like the funkytown cartel execution
