Best Of
What’s a few kinks in an otherwise smooth and wrinkle-free video game?
Just take these five, for example.
How these managed to survive the launch and best the board is beyond me, to be honest.
You know it has gone too far when even Rockstar employees start questioning their actions.
Manhunt
You know it has gone too far when even Rockstar employees start questioning their actions.
To put it out there Manhuntwasn’t a bad game.
But it was, however, enough to test the people that spent years trying to build it.
You know it has gone too far when even Rockstar employees start questioning their actions.
[It] just made us all feel icky.
It was all about the violence, and it was realistic violence.
We all knew there was no way we could explain away that game.
You want an infamous title? Well then it’s going to have to be Postal 2.
There was no way to rationalize it.
We were crossing a line.
And let me tell you it did not go down too well.
Bullywas, in fact, a touchy subject to discuss back in the day.
Like, at all.
Even for shock value alone,New York Defendershouldn’t have been created and distributed to the world.
But we can see why.
It’s just…not right.
Taking a sensitive situation and attempting to profit from it is one thing, sure.
Postal 2
You want an infamous title?
Well then it’s going to have to be Postal 2.
As far as games shrouded with ambivalence go,Postal 2pretty much still wears the crown.
An anchor that, weirdly enough, managed to garner a loyal following several years after its release.
Bully
Bullywas, in fact, a touchy subject to discuss back in the day.
At the time of release, however, people weren’t overly happy with the content thatBullyemployed.
Although, that never stopped the game from being a total knockout in the charts.
And to be honest, it really is only a matter of time before Rockstar unveil a sequel.
So, while it may be controversial, the idea as a whole definitely sells.
And if there’s one thing Rockstar knows how to do well it’ssell.
That’s something no amount of risque content can tarnish.
