The demo for Hotline Miami 2 used to open with the Pig Butcher, a beefy, violent man, straddling a terrified woman and dropping his trousers – and then a director called "Cut!" and the actors dispersed. This almost-rape scene isn't in the demo anymore, following negative reactions from early players. One half of developer Dennaton Games, Denis Wedin, tells Rock, Paper, Shotgun that the intent behind that opening isn't to disgust or alienate people, and he's considering tweaks for the full game.
Darksiders Genesis, Little Nightmares and Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number are also playable from today.
Terrible month. Detroit and Black Ops 3 (available for a limited time) are already in the PS Plus Collection, and Detroit was also a free game on PS Plus years ago. WWE 2K Battlegrounds is terrible. Only the smaller games that were added are good additions.
PS Plus is way better than PS Now right now (quality > quantity) and has been good for a long time, and great since the PS5 released. I was tempted to subscribe to PS Now over the holidays but I just didn't trust in the quality of the service. They need to up their game because the quality of the service is deteriorating. I'm starting to wonder if they're going to ditch PS Now as we know it and basically add it as an extra tier to PS Plus because that's what they've been prioritizing.
Not sure why WWE 2K Battlegrounds was a highlight for this month. I browsed the games in December and it was there/played it.
The game was a massive disappointment, even playing with a friend it was terrible. But we finished it til the end. The game is so buggy and just not much fun a lot of times.
Great for me.
I was looking to play darksiders genesis...it's the last one I need to play. And little nightmares is another one I wanted to try.
The rest I've already played or am not interested. Overall I think they're great additions.
I was disappointed with Darksiders 3. I played for a couple of hours, and deleted it. That is just me though, a lot of people liked it. Also the price is right. Hope you do like it!😁
Yea I'm with you there. The beginning and gameplay feels so different but after a certain point I feel like it got much better.
I played it in classic mode so it would be more similar to other darksiders but man did I die a lot in the beginning due to learning how to play. Came into it fresh from darksiders 2.
Yeah, I am still playing frostpunk from last month...
Heard good things about little nightmares
Looks like you might be looking for the best Devolver Digital games out there? Well, you have managed to come to the right place.
Hotline Miami will probably always be their best series, tbh. For me, they are definitely the best indie game publisher though.
Player 2 looks at the current classification system in Australia and how it needs to improve with the help of gamers across the country.
Great article it was informative.
“Without American style protection of speech, I cannot see those sorts of games ever being approved to be released in Australia unmodified. I am OK with that.”
You undermine your efforts from start with that attitude. Free speech helped with lawsuits but our ratings board has nothing to do with our government. The industry is self regulated. Your classifications are terrible and you should try to change it. Adopt the American industry standard. There is no law involved. That’s why I don’t understand why Americans demand government intervention on things like micro transactions. They are ok with what you have now too I guess.
So she doesn't actually get raped then?
You bust heads, slice bodies and shoot people and dogs but an almost rape scene is enough to give players concerned?
Truly something is wrong with society.
Are you freaking kidding me? Murder and dismemberment and torture, thats all fine and dandy...but god f%&king forbid somebody got raped! Thats worse than murder!
Okay but seriously, they are reconsidering what essentially amounts to a single short animation, that is, the pig man unzipping his pants and getting ontop of the hooker...if they took it out, it wouldn't really alter much, but damn it its the PRINCIPLE of the situation that is making me upset. This is their artistic vision, and it should not be censored
further, its not even a 'true' rape...its a movie depiction of the original hotline miami, its freaking fake people. Should we ban movies that have rape in it? should we ban books and stories that have rape in it? Grow up people
I knew this porno scene would become another manufactured industry controversy. *sigh*
what i hate is hypocritz that are like omg its rape and then they turn around and have random sex with a 1000 different people and say its just sex like theres nothing to it. girls need to figure out if sex is meaningful to them or if its just like a handshake like many many people act like it is on the interent with there defense force against the people saying you shouldnt be having sex with a bunch of random people just to feel good in that moment when you could spend a little more time giving that sex and power to someone thats not a dead beat and who is meaningful to you and decent member of society.
It's not "spineless." Guys are trying to make a living and sell their product.
